    Electric dryer recommendations

    We switched from a front load to top load so that’s probably part of it but a couple of things. First, the washer cycle takes 28-30 minutes compared to 55 minutes on our old one. Two, no mold on the top load. And while we’ve only had it for six months, all the research I did said it will last a...

    Electric dryer recommendations

    We remodeled our laundry room recently and went with speed queen. The washer is amazing. The dryer is fine. I really don’t notice a huge difference from the speed queen dryer and our last one (can’t remember the brand), but the washer is crazy good.

    Laundry Room Renovation

    Yes, these won't be getting as much use as kitchen cabinets so sacrificing quality for cost is probably going to be okay. But we've started looking around, and you are certainly right. Cabinets $$$$

    Laundry Room Renovation

    Which Speed Queen models do you have if you mind me asking? We have twins who are not quite two and another on the way so we already do a lot of laundry, and that will only increase once the new baby arrives.

    Laundry Room Renovation

    Thanks. The contractor who is going to provide an estimate said they would put lots of insulation to make sure temps are okay. The current plan is to have a utility sink with a few feet of counter space and then lots of cabinets for storage. Curious to see what the cost will be as that will...

    Laundry Room Renovation

    I've heard good things about Speed Queen - we are okay paying for quality if it means it will last for a long time.

    Laundry Room Renovation

    It's going to be a new "addition" that takes up space in our garage. It will be about 10 x 9 feet. Would you still recommend putting a drain in?

    Laundry Room Renovation

    Hey Fanatics - we are looking to remodel our laundry room soon and wanted to know if anyone has anything that we should absolutely do or avoid. Also would appreciate any recommendations on new washer and dryers. We live just outside of Ames and remember from other threads to possibly avoid...

    John Deere strike imminent?

    Just to clarify one thing on your post - the numbers are broken out (at least for publicly traded companies). The CEO of JD had 1.2M of base salary, 6.9M of stock awards, 2.6M of option awards, 3.7M of non-equity comp, 835k of a pension value increase, and 310k of other compensation. It's on...

    Does Iowa State have any confirmed billionaire donors? I can’t think of any, but man that would sure be nice.

    Tailgating/game day with kids

    Anyone know what the snack policy is for JTS? It says food and beverage are prohibited, but are they really going to take the Cheerios and puffs I bring for my 2 year old twins?

    Tailgating/game day with kids

    We are going to be bringing our almost two year-old twins next Saturday. Do you think we need ear protection for them?

    New Mattress Shopping

    We got our bed from Nest bedding. It’s the Alexander signature hybrid. We really like it. It’s a little on the soft side but my wife and I comment about it every time we stay in a different bed on how much we miss ours.

    Serious question: Are kids worth it?

    My wife and I had twins (one boy and one girl) in December 2019 and also in our early 30s. Such a crazy journey with many sleepless nights. But now they are almost saying da-da, and it’s so worth it.
