Re-Tooling TBL

For several years TBL was a blog where I wrote about a wide variety of topics. Those postings are still in the Blog Archive and many are about professional development for engineers. I am now transitioning TBL to be a place where my current and former students can find information related to job searches.

Always a Pleasant Sight

Ronnie came home the other night and said, "apparently nobody went downstairs tonight?" We followed him down and found the bathroom ceiling collapsing! After a few minutes of deductive reasoning, we found the washing machine had malfunctioned and water from a whole load was being affected by gravity and finding its way to the lower level of the house. Further inspection showed the washer to be dead. So Sunday morning, in 18 inches of snow, I was off to Sears to find a replacement...and who buys a washer without a new dryer to match, not me. So now we have front loading (and matching) new clothes cleaning (and drying) appliances.

Ron, you've probably already been told this, but you need different detergent for the front loader. You also need less of the detergent then you think. We have a water softener, and unless we use just under the 1 on the cap, the washer will whistle during final spin.
