The Old Folks Home

I called Marvin's about the cabinets and she said they don't have any in stock. But she's calling other stores to find us a sink base. She said they have the small one. I told her I have to have them here by Fri. That I have a Plummer coming to install it Saturday. Or I will be in for a refund. She said she would call me back in 30 min. And let me know what she can do.
Here's hoping.

Was at Home Depot yesterday. I seen they had a small Amana clothes washer also same sticker, made in USA. I bet they're all the same, made by the same company, just different tops and names in them.
Just looked it up, Whirlpool makes a lot of them. Bet the small oldstyle one is the only USA.
"The company markets Whirlpool, Roper, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Gladiator GarageWorks, Inglis, Estate, Brastemp, Bauknecht, Indesit, and Consul. Whirlpool Corporation is the world's largest home appliance maker."
Same with most lawn mowers and tractors , most made in one factory, just change the paint, stickers, and a few features/looks.

Was in Home Depot getting cupboard door hinges. Have had quite a few break on those fancy cupboards. Mentioned to DW they came with pretty crappy hinges.
She says if the kids weren't using the doors to climb on the counters they probably would have been OK.....

Is your glass top induction?

Nope.

Yep. You have to do a little research to find out who makes your appliances and lawn machines. Very few actual companies own all the "known for ages" brands now. And a model that is sold in 1 store isn't sold in a competitor's store so you can't even compare prices.

Don't know if the lower doors were used but your comment brought back something DD1 said to me when she was maybe 2 or 3. "Daddy go back in basement now". I had come up and spied her on the counter, she knew she wasn't to be up there.

Our kids don't break the hinges... they bend and break the drawer runners, and pop off the entire door and drawer panels.

and my doors! Cheepo doors with holed busted in them.... expensive doors with dents scratched into them...

Children can be rough on a house! Even girls LOL.

Mine weren't hard on the house but someone (cough cough dd1) has damaged some furniture. Wouldn't believe that 2 people shouldn't be point loading a 150 year old settee for example.

I love it (not) when they write on stuff they ain't supposed to... Shows how smart they are when it's their name lol. I have to refinish dining room table sometime. One of the girls dumped nail polish on it and thought it was a good idea to clean it up with nail polish remover, didn't think anyone would notice.
And I was the only one that got in trouble!!!
I guess I am supposed to watch their every move when mom's at work
