I’ve won 5(?) times in the last couples months, I’ve given ample time for other members to respond. Perplexed why members would not want to compete for a free case of books or $50 , or whatever else is offered.
I always get the books when I win, we give the books away with several cards stuck in the book. It has given us much business over the years.
when saying that a door has a wind, it means that there is a draft or air movement around or through the door.
b) Transpiration of the trees and shrubs
b) 2:12
The dishwasher drain is not properly installed. A proper high loop is needed to help prevent possible backflow and odors from entering and contaminating the dishwasher.
There is inadequate clearance around the electrical panel, as it is obstructed by cabinets. Proper clearance is important for added safety, maintenance and troubleshooting, heat dissipation and fire prevention.
The door has air gaps and a draft is going through these gaps
Transpiration of the trees and shrubs
2:12
4.There is no high loop in the line and the line is far too long
5.The electrical panel is obstructed by the cabinet shelf and also not enough clearance around the panel.
Extra Credit. No Idea!
