I thought he used to be a 'good guy' so was wondering why he was suddenly an arse; being in Australia I try to absorb only the big stories from US politics.

Thanks for confirming

Yeah, they're all connected, I could see that in the PV app. It's only a 6.64kW PV array and electricity is expensive in SA, daily service is $1.08 and the FIT is $0.01.

Must have a decent FIT, our bills are still around $400 a quarter with panels and we're not big users.

Looking forward to next bill though; 16.6kWh battery installed late August and I think we've used 2kW of grid since.

Actually you seal looks very clean, I'd just make sure the drawers are all the way in when closing the door. My Bosch freezer won't close unless the drawers are pushed right in, anything hanging out will stop the door closing properly. Very annoying

Supposedly lubricates and helps create a better seal. It will, however, degrade the rubber over time as it is a petroleum product.

Give your seal a good wipe over with soapy water and do the same to the fridge carcass where it meets the seal.

That looks like the door hasn't been shut properly.

Is the icing just at the front of the freezer? Because most, if not all, cooling comes from the back of a fridge/,freezer

This post is getting shared a lot, but it's inaccurate. Bob Ross donated most of his paintings to PBS stations to use in pledge drives to raise money for stations, which is why the estate auctioning paintings now is so appropriate, because it's what he would have done to raise funds for PBS. 1/?

'92 was my last traffic offense, crossing a solid white line on the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The only parking ticket I've had since then was issued in error and cancelled before I even got a chance to appeal it :/
