The Rigors And the Heft - Part 1

She was born a mad woman, mad as Mae, mad as Arla, mad as Lærke. Mad as all of them, maybe more. She lost count the number of times she lost her mind, lost down the rabbit hole with Alice, down the well with Sadako. Not many people wake up in an irrigation ditch at 11 years old with their pants around their ankles without going mad from time to time.

Regaining her sanity (as if), in the ruins of her life, shredded by her own hands, bloody boney things, hateful things. No excuse powerful enough to undo the curses cast from her own maddend hands. They say we hurt the ones we love the most and she was efficient.

Years of this cycle and Chance has run herself aground, a bloated whale corpse heart ready to burst with rot. Laying on this beach of a bed wracked by nightmare after nightmare, screaming awake on an air mattress with a leak, she wakes up every few hours and reinflates it in the dark of her room while the anxiety of her nightmares drains away.

She wakes when she dreams, she sleeps when she wakes, she stays up the whole night. She takes the little green and blue capsules when she starts to hallucinate at the edges of her vision. Hydroxyzine Pamoate to dull her mind and lull her to sleep, she's stockpiled more than a lethal dose, though she has never even thought of doing that, probably very painful anyway.

She rolls out of bed and onto the filthy carpet, half deflated bed like arms of a desperate lover who can't get enough. Stark angry noonday sun lancing through the crack in her beige lifeless curtains to ensure she is awake. The same drapery supplied with the apartment 10 years ago, never bothered to replace them either, apathy was her favorite interior decorator.

Just 24 hours prior she was in Kansas on the threshold of her aunt Arla's single wide mobile home, maroon and white corrugated aluminum shoebox similar to the one Chance grew up in. Two big windows on the front like doe eyes, a barren planter box, and a carport filled with dozens and dozens of 30 quart rubber bins.

The smell of the dead woman is thick in the air, she's wearing two masks and still has the urge to vomit, it's a smell that doesn't leave her for days. Not even the first dead body Chance has smelled, though her aunt was taken away 2 days ago, he stinking days old rot still clung to the air.

How does one begin to even go through a mad woman's hoarded possessions? A life of clutter accumulated in every nook and cranny, barely a walkable path though the trailer.

The hallway lined with National Geographic magazines from floor to ceiling, they have congealed from an unfixed leak, the soggy paper shape of a stack of magazines. There's even a perfect handprint in the paper wall where an EMT mistakenly put their hand.

The floor in the back bedroom squelches under foot and sags in the middle, a putrid smelling mattress with decomposing bits of her aunt's body, a shit river stain and a floor covered in never been clean clothes and half filled bags of trash.

One end of the room is a closet that dominates the wall, inside it is full of boxes, some collapsing, and others with odious stains on the corners. The dresser built into the wall had no drawers, in fact Chance couldn't even find them anywhere on the premises.

The other wall is a gaping hole where the fire department cut out the death trap horizontal slot windows, the type long out of style and only found on older models without any renovations. The hole is lined by cancerous pink cotton candy that Chance's intrusive thoughts keep telling her would be a good idea to eat.

Chance finds nothing in the house worth saving but she does spend a few hours i going through the tubs in the carport. She dug out a copy of Mysterious New England from 1971, a ratty later edition of Prometheus Rising by Robert Anton Wilson, a cat skull, some small glass bottles with cork stoppers, things her mom would call "witchy shit" oh and Dino Crisis for the Playstation, her crazy aunt contained multitudes.

She would be kinder to her aunt's memory if she hadn't been so cruel, her mad woman aunt who talked to the dead and heard their voices. Chance's kindness long lost because of a knife at her throat, a gun to her head, and the constant stream of verbal abuse that made it hard to function.

Now jetlagged Chance is on her bedroom floor, her clothes covered floor, just like her aunt and her grandma and her mother too. Everyone's mad in her family, a long line of mad women as far as she can remember. Chance and her mother are the first generation to never be committed but that isn't a very high bar to clear in these supposedly more enlightened times (yeah right).

Chance retrieves the pack of clove cigarettes from the pocket of her jeans on the floor, flips it open, retrieves a single clove wrapped in black paper, and places it between her lips still caked with last night's lipstick, a cheap black from the drugstore, a small cheap comfort she allows herself.

She lights the clove cigarette and takes a short, quick pull from it. The aroma hits her nose and she is immediately taken back to that first kiss, to the girl who smelled of patchouli and cloves, and left a taste in her mouth for the rest of her life, the kiss never forgotten, a soul moving kiss nobody had ever duplicated, almost against her will, the girl who smells like heaven or the closest she had ever been.

She remembers this kiss each time she smokes, the only reason she really smokes them anymore. Chance still won't let anyone else call her "baby" or "lover", those words belonged to her, the girl who hated her guts, the girl she hadn't seen in 20 years. Chance doubts the girl would even recognize that boygirl she kissed in high school.

ADRIAN CHASE APPRECIATION WEEK

Day 3: favorite trait / alternate universe

Pairing: Adrian Chase/Reader

Disclaimers: gender-neutral reader, mentions of injuries, self-harm (reader agitates their wounds on purpose to 'feel' something), angst with happy ending, hurt/comfort, reader is vigilante

Word Count: 1.7k

Summary:

“You’re Vigilante,” he whispers.

“I am Vigilante, yeah.”

“Holy smokes, Peacemaker.”

...was that seriously a Batman reference.

Author's Note: reader may be vigilante but adrian’s still fucked in the head and reader went “that is my baby girl and i can fix him (make him worse)”. also i have zero idea how bathtubs work

Cross-posted on AO3

You’re so glad you took your carpet to cleaning yesterday.

The red visor attached to your mask is cracked, and you internally curse whoever landed the blow on them. They’re prescription, goddamnit.

It paints for an ominous vision of red values. Criminals always make you see blood— the sight of their death is a craving unmatched by any other worldly sustenance there is. Perhaps it’s a dramatic way of putting it, but you might as well compensate from the lack of flair you have in your regular life.

You suppose it’s one of those nights where you see your own blood too. You aren’t gushing waterfalls of red from your wounds which means most of your arteries weren’t ruptured. Small mercies.

But you’re so fucking sore it hurts to think to move. You’re usually much more meticulous about your post-patrol routine. Shit, what if someone knocks on your door? Your lights are on to give the pretense that you’re home when you’re actually out in the streets as Vigilante. It’s late enough that your neighbors won’t be awake to see you sneak into your apartment, but you’re not taking chances tonight.

This is a prime example of a treacherous mind driven by an innate paranoia.

You’re giving yourself enough trouble lying in what feels like your own sick on the floor, and begrudgingly you lift yourself off the ground knees-first.

Limping your way to the bathroom is an arduous task in itself. You don’t have to turn around to see specks of blood you’ve left in your wake. You turn the lights on, and you sit on the toilet lid.

Groaning from your sore muscles, you begin to take the armor off, starting with the mask. You toss it in the sink so you could remember that it’ll be your first priority for repair and cleaning. Routine begins like clockwork as you remove armor pieces that require the least stretching, before moving on to the more intricate bits (the ones to that cover vulnerable spots without compromising mobility).

You run some hot water, eager to wash off the grime from your skin. Dried blood (which you could already surmise is not your own) is already flaking. This might be the part you like the least. You never did like sticky fluids sticking. On you, specifically. It makes you want to scratch at your skin until it bleeds. Although, that would be counter-productive in this situation. You dip a few fingers into the tub.

The water is finally warm enough to not overly agitate your wounds, but hot enough—

“Agh—”

For it to ground you. Bring you to the world of the waking people.

You probably should’ve tilted your head lower when you brought the damp washcloth to drip over your head. Your eyes and mouth remain closed until after you finish wiping your face.

The water is tinted pink by the time you’ve cleaned the upper half of your body. It always starts with the face to the shoulders, then the torso to the hips, and eventually the thighs to the ends of your feet. The only times you deviate from this is when you have grievous injuries on specific areas that need tending first.

You wonder if you should’ve gone straight to the tub. The dampness of sweat replaced by warm water brings relief to your skin. You lean towards the bathtub to pull the drain and—

“Honey?”

Oh no.

You turn your head around to see Adrian holding an umbrella like he’s about to hit someone with it. He drops it beside him but remains frozen in the doorway. You’re only dressed in your underwear, your back and your scars and your gashes in display.

He glances at the sink, no doubt seeing your mask.

Oh fuck.

You can’t kill him. Oh no. Not Adrian—he shouldn’t have—he wasn’t supposed to visit you this late. How could you forget to lock the door? Did you forget to lock the door? How could you be so careless?

God, the room is so blurry and your head hurts from the inside. The adrenaline is making your brain run a mile a minute but your body remains frozen from the shock of Adrian abruptly showing up by the bathroom entrance.

“Hey, hey, hey. Breathe,” He kneels down in front of you, holding your hands that have hurt people, that have killed people, that have done things that would make you clean every crevice of your skin almost every night, “Baby? Baby listen to me, I’m not mad or anything. It’s okay, just breathe. I’m not here to snitch or— or report you, just please tell me you’re okay.”

The tension lingers, but Adrian’s rattled speech pulls you out of your hysteria. You can’t imagine how freaked out he must be, seeing you in the state that you are in.

“I’m…” You hesitate, “I’m sorry you had to see me like this.”

The tank of the toilet is cool against your back when you lean against it, digging into your shoulder blades as you lean against it. Despite your relaxed posture you can’t help but remain tense.

“You’re Vigilante,” he whispers.

“I am Vigilante, yeah.”

“Holy smokes, Peacemaker.”

...was that seriously a Batman reference.

“What are you doing here?” you ask, trying to ground yourself once more from an almost panic attack.

“I got off work late because they made me do inventory and I decided to see how you’re doing since you said you have insomnia and all. The lights were on and—and you weren’t answering the door and I thought something happened to you because usually when you come home you’d play some music even when it’s so late, and I got paranoid when you wouldn’t answer and busted through your door and then there’s blood leading to the bathroom so I took your umbrella from the rack and… here we are.”

You have no idea how you didn’t hear him, but you chalk it up to your exhaustion.

“Adrian.”

He looks at you intently.

“Thank you,” you whisper, squeezing his hands weakly, “For checking up on me.”

“Don’t thank me yet.” He stands up and examines the mess that is your bathroom, “Please let me take care of you? I know both of us are super freaked out but I don’t know if I can handle a whole explanation while you look like you’re about to pass out.”

You nod. The both of you just got out of your jobs (or at least Adrian did. No one is paying you to be Vigilante), and now that everyone’s safe it’s probably for the best to shelf some conversations for later.

He helps you get into the tub with clean water once he drains it from the water mixed with your blood. You sit upright at the ceramic, letting him guide your back to him. His bony fingers massage the back of your neck between your spine.

“Can I ask something?” He sounds a bit nervous.

“Anything,” you tell him seriously. You hope he can sense that.

“Why Vigilante?”

You blink.

“Why did you choose that name?”

“I never wanted to be Vigilante.” You sigh, leaning your head back to meet his gaze upside-down. “I mean, I’ve never been more certain about becoming Vigilante and doing what I do in the name of justice.”

“Then… why regret it?”

“The citizens of Evergreen gave me the name Vigilante because I wouldn’t talk to the bolder journalists when they’d ask.” You look at him with a morose expression, “I wanted to be known as, I don’t know, Vengeance or something. Instead I was Serial Killer the serial killer.”

If you said this to anyone else, you suspect they’d laugh at you. But Adrian doesn’t seem to as bemused as you’d daresay others would be. Not that many people know you’re Vigilante. Once they see you off the mask their blood will stain your fingernails for the next few days.

“I think Vigilante is cool. It reminds people who you are, and what you do for them.”

You smile. “I’m glad you think of me that way.”

The moments that follow are occupied with silence. It feels like something is ruminating—but you don’t know what. As you dry off and put on pajamas Adrian almost looks blank. You know him well enough to know he’s contemplating, but you won’t pry—at least, not until he lets you.

“You said you broke the door down?” You don’t want to risk a home invasion, but you don’t want Adrian to leave your side right now.

“The door still had some secure hinges on it. You know I’m not that strong.”

“But you’re here, anyway. For me. That’s all that matters.”

You don’t know how much the revelation would change the dynamic of your relationship. You don’t want to disregard the sparks in his eyes, glinting with an eerie eagerness when he found out who you are. The excitement you feel is undeniable, buzzing under your skin.

At first, you think you’re going to ruin him but that doesn’t seem right. Adrian wouldn’t hurt a fly, and even if he wanted to he’d look like a fool doing so (—your fool). He’s all gangly limbs with an innocent face and nerdy glasses he’s worn since boyhood.

But it’s not mutually exclusive with how he gets hyper-focused in his fixations like DND; how frenzied he looks when talking about the wrong things in the world and Evergreen to the point it looks like it physically hurts him; how he rambles on and on to you about what he learns in law school; how he finds moments in slasher films funny that raises peculiarity even to you—

It’s fascinating to you. He’s so fascinating to you.

‘No,’ you think. You’re just going to be bringing out a dormant part of him waiting to be found— to be noticed.

The pillow feels so soft and cool pressing against your cheek. Adrian looks peaceful for once, and you take the time to admire the lamp-lit contours of his face. His eyes are closed. The only indication of him being awake is his hand softly pressing shapes into your shoulder blades.

You might not ruin him, but by God is he going to ruin you.

What are the Pros and Cons of a Walk-in Tub?

Is bathing a struggle for your loved ones due to age factors or disability? You should consider replacing your traditional bathtub with a walk-in tub. Walk-in tubs are the best option for seniors and for those who have mobility issues. It helps seniors or physically challenged persons to easily walk into the tub instead of climbing over the ledge of a traditional tub. Also, walk-in tubs give your bathroom a modern look as well as provide easy-access bathing comfort. Purchasing a walk-in tub is a big decision as everyone has various questions in mind when shopping, such as how much does a walk-in tub cost to install, are walk-in tubs safe, does walk-in tubs increase your home’s value, etc. Deciding whether or not to get a walk-in tub is a big decision. To help decide, here is a list of pros and cons of walk-in bathtubs:

Pros of Walk-in Tubs

A walk-in tub offers you a comfort level that no other traditional tub can provide. Its features such as handrails, wide seats, fast drainage, whirlpool jets, and hand showers allow for a bathing experience that is more comfortable.

Walk-in bathtubs provide a maximum level of safety that a standard tub can’t provide. A standard tub requires entrance by climbing over a high wall to get in, which is very risky. On the other hand, anyone can enter a walk-in tub by stepping over the low ledge without any danger.

How Do You Plan And Design An Underground Bathroom

Are you living in a basement that doesn't have the bathroom? If your basement isn't equipped with a lavatory, you may consider you can make it a part of your basement more enjoyable and useful. Installing a basement bathroom involves some considerations that would not be involved in building above-ground lavatories. Since water does not run uphill building a bathroom below grade is a matter of careful planning and savvy plumbing. When you need additional hints on bathroom, click over here.

Here are a few reasons to add a basement bathroom and the specific needs this kind of remodeling requires.

Why do we need a basement bathroom?

The ease of use is an advantage. Bathrooms make it easy for guests who stay overnight to rest in basements. You don't need to climb stairs to get to the bathroom. A basement bathroom allows your guests to remain private. Bathrooms in the basement can also be very helpful for people with mobility issues, like those on crutches or in wheelchairs.

An increase in the value of your home is an incredible benefit. Bathrooms in basements can help your home make a mark in a competitive market. It is a fact that most buyers would prefer homes with a basement that contains the bathroom.

How do you choose the kind of Basement Bathroom

After consulting with your local building department for specific restrictions in your property deed as well as Zoning ordinances, you can decide whether you require a half bathroom or a full bathroom. A half bathroom consists of only a sink and toilet. Basements are more vulnerable to cold and damp therefore it is advisable not to include a tub or shower.

A full basement is a better option if you have frequent guests or would like to make the basement the bedroom. A bathroom that is complete can include showers or bathtubs, or both.

Consider Drainage

Then, think about the drainage. This is the most crucial factor. Have you considered the possibility of adding a bathroom your basement? If so, you're lucky. If it's not the case and the depth of the plumbing is inadequate the plumber will have to include the cost of floor excavation in order to adjust the flow and depth rates.

Consider the size and depth of the plumbing pipes. You will need deep drainage lines, like. If the pipes you have aren't big enough they will need to be replaced with larger ones needed to allow for basement drains. To assess the slope (also called the "fall") of your drainage system you should hire an expert. Keep in mind how the drainage lines should be sloped downhill to allow gravity to drain the water.

Choose a toilet for your basement

For toilets in a bathroom basement, there are several alternatives. Up flushing toilets are made by grinding solid waste into small particles. This doesn't require excavation. This is the most suitable alternative for bathrooms in basements.

The toilets that are pressure-assisted are connected to the main line of a bathroom above ground in a home. A toilet that is pressure-assisted uses air pressure to force the waste through pipes, making it less likely that standard plumbing can cause clogs.

Sewage ejector systems function as the miniature Septic tank. These systems store sewage temporarily until it is released into the main sewer tank.

Another choice is a composting toilet. This type of toilet, that doesn't use lots of water, converts garbage into compost. If you decide to use composting toilets, be sure that you have excellent outdoor ventilation.

Then, consider whether or not you have enough space to install an entire vanity and sink, which would run into the same pipe that is used for your toilet. A pedestal sink may be a better option if space is limited.

Consider Basement Lighting

The best location for bathroom facilities in basements is directly under the bathroom on the floor above it. It's cheaper to put your basement bathroom this way instead of putting it on the flooring above. You will need to think about the power supply, for instance. It is crucial to connect to existing electric lines.

Lighting is one of the main challenges when installing the bathroom underground. Bathrooms can be set on an outside wall to let natural light into. Glass-block windows are a simple and effective method of letting in the sun while still keeping your the privacy. For the vanity area you can use bright light fixtures and ceiling lamps. Recessed lighting is also used to brighten the bathroom basement.

Once your bathroom basement has been built, you can relax in your basement and for many years to come. It's hard to believe you have waited for so long to renovate your basement. Installing a bathroom is not something you can tackle by yourself. It is better to employ an experienced and skilled professional.

The Time You Remodel Your Home remember the Air conditioner

While it most often refers to building projects that alter the structure of an existing home, home renovation can include improvements to lawns and gardens and outbuildings like gazebos and garages. Wallpapering and painting walls or installing wood paneling. Adding new flooring such as carpets, tiling, linoleum, wood flooring, or solid hardwood flooring. Upgrading cabinets, fixtures, and sinks in the kitchen and bathroom. Improving the backyard with sliding doors, wooden patio decks, patio gardens, Jacuzzis, swimming pools, Air conditioners and fencing. Increasing the capacity of plumbing and electrical systems. Soundproofing rooms, especially bedrooms and baths. Roof tear-off and replacement. Concrete and masonry repairs to the foundation and chimney. Repairing plumbing and electrical systems. Turning marginal areas into livable spaces such as turning basements into rec rooms or attics into spare bedrooms. Extending one's house with rooms added to the side of one's home or, sometimes, extra levels to the original roof. A residential area is a type of land use where the predominant use is housing. In areas that are zoned residential, buildings may include single family housing, multiple family housing such as (apartments, duplexes, townhomes (or similar configurations), condominiums) or mobile homes. Zoning for residential use may permit some services or work opportunities or may totally exclude business and industry. It may permit high density land use or only permit low density uses. Residential zoning usually includes a smaller FAR (floor to area ratio) than business, commercial or industrial/manufacturing zoning. In certain places there is a lot of partying situations residential areas may consist of quite large tracts of land which have no services whatsoever requiring a trip to town in order to fulfill basic needs. Because of the large distances involved most of these numerous trips involve using a motor vehicle. When hiring a home improvement contractor in Central Florida, communication is very important. To make sure you get accurate estimates to contrast and compare, it is important to provide the contractor with what you expect from the home improvement job. The materials you choose for your home improvement job can drastically increase the remodeling cost. When you receive bids from different home improvement contractors, choosing the best one can be quite difficult. Comparing quotes offered by different contractors can help you go with the best one that suits your budget and requirements. By carrying out different home improvement tasks, you can enhance the overall appeal of your home. Painting your room, updating your kitchen, bathroom and master bedroom are some things you can do to increase the value of your home. When it comes to your bedroom and kitchen, you must ensure that all table surface, closets and drawers have minimum content in them. Adding mirrors, tubs/showers, toilet and countertops in your bathroom can enhance its appearance. Purchasing basement waterproofing materials can either be a simple, inexpensive thing to do or a substantial and costly project. It all depends on exactly what type of waterproofing you plan on doing: internal or external. Internal waterproofing, which homeowners can do on their own with minimal assistance, can be accomplished with affordable products. External waterproofing, on the other hand, involves some pretty expensive materials. Internal basement waterproofing can be completed with materials as simple as crack compound, mold solution and waterproofing paint, all of which can be purchased at a local home improvement store for a few bucks. In only a weekend, you should have no problem waterproofing the inside of your basement walls. The problem therein is that internal basement waterproofing, while it improves the aesthetic appearance of your home and increases its marketability, doesn't really protect you against serious flooding. The materials you purchase at the home improvement store can't stop heavy rain from invading your basement if your area experiences significant rainfall. External foundation drainage systems are what really keep water from flooding your home, and in order to service them, you need to excavate around your home with heavy equipment. The footer drains surrounding your home move excess rainwater away from your property and deposit it in a safer location, and if they become clogged some serious flooding can occur. Basement waterproofing materials for these types of projects end up costing a significant amount of money. Heavy excavating equipment, several tons of aggregate back-fill material, and other items might be easily accessible by a professional contracting company, but not the average homeowner. If you're waterproofing and beautifying the inside of your home on your own, then don't expect to pay much for the materials you need to get the job done. But hiring a professional waterproofing company, which might need to use some expensive products to fix your home, can end up costing you a significant amount of money. In addition, this cabinetry possesses zero air pollutants. Furthermore, this type of cabinetry is treated with water-based finishes, stains and topcoats as well as being eco-friendly synthetic veneers. As s result of such, no damage is done to the environment in order to obtain the wood, i.e. the rainforests are not depleted. Additionally, the disposal of the products would not further contribute to the deterioration of the environment. Moreover, these green cabinets can not only be used for commercial and residential use, but also can be tailored to accommodate generally any design style, including traditional or contemporary; regardless of which design company you use. Not only is green cabinetry eco-friendly, but it is also healthy for the individuals in the home. In fact, numerous people are treated every single year for exposure to the chemicals used in treating many of the products found our homes. While examples of such chemicals are commonly known, i.e. bleach, others are not as widely known, i.e. formaldehyde, and can be just as deadly, if not more. People like to renovate their house every couple of years. People don't necessarily renovate the house in full in one attempt, but rather than renovate an existing room or floor at one by one. People like to renovate their house every couple of years. People don't necessarily renovate the house in full in one attempt, but rather than renovate an existing room or floor at one by one. Normally everyone tries to avoid doing any major home improvements in the winter, purely because of the weather conditions and the daylight hours also. In winters its obvious that its cold and chilly days, and in the morning its dark, and therefore it also gets dark at a very early time so there's not enough daylight hours that workmen can work and get the project finished quickly. Its always better to work in the summer where its completely opposite, where you have plenty of daylight and the temperature and weather is absolutely brilliant. You have a wider selection and many of these stores will send samples if you ask for them.

BEST WASHER AND DRYER REMOVAL SERVICE IN WICHITA KS

WICHITA WASHER AND DRYER REMOVAL

Professional washer and dryer removal near you. Washer And Dryer Removal Service near Wichita KS:When your old washer or dryer starts acting up, the next logical step is to replace them. But moving and lifting heavy appliances yourself is hard work and can be incredibly dangerous.

Save yourself the time and energy it takes to haul away your old washer & dryer. Wichita Household Services is your nationwide junk removal company offering washer & dryer removal services without the struggle.

Washing Machine and Dryer Disposal

Washer And Dryer Removal Service near Wichita KS:When a laundry appliance reaches the end of its life cycle, replacing it makes a ton of sense. Old washers and dryers use far too much energy and water, and they often create a noisy racket or stop working well. Getting the old one out the door and responsibly disposed of can be difficult. However, Wichita Household Services local junk removal service offers you a simple solution for the disposal and recycling of your old washing machine or dryer. And, when you use our junk removal services, you receive the friendliest service from America’s greenest junk haulers.

Why Washing Machine and Dryer Disposal Becomes Necessary?

Washer And Dryer Removal Service near Wichita KS: If your washing machine or dryer has become inefficient, noisy, leaky, or in need of constant repairs, it’s time to move on! A brand new washing machine and dryer offer greater energy and water efficiency, better cleaning and drying performance, and a lot fewer issues.

The latest technology in laundry appliances uses much less water and energy and delivers better cleaning results. And when you use an eco-friendly junk removal service to repurpose your old appliance, you don’t have to worry about the environmental impact of replacing the equipment.

Call us for junk removal and upgrade to a new washing machine and dryer if you have these problems:

● Noisy, humming, rattling washing machines. ● Excessive water consumption and ineffective cleaning your clothes. ● Dryer takes too long to dry. ● Water leaking or not draining. ● Years of age, outdated energy efficiency. ● Expensive repairs (often the case with old top-loader machines).

Upgrading Your Washing Machine and Dryer

Washer And Dryer Removal Service near Wichita KS: The bottom line is, if your washer or dryer has become inefficient, noisy, leaky, or is always in need of repairs, it’s time to upgrade.

New technology provides greater energy and water efficiency, better cleaning and drying performance, and many smart features in new washing machines and dryers. For example, some new front loading washing machines have a smaller, second washing machine built into the pedestal at the bottom.

This allows for two separate loads running at the same time. The top machine manages a full load while the lower machine can be used for small loads that need special attention.

In addition, there are top-loading washing machines with built-in sinks under the lid for hand washing or pre-treating. A jet directs water into the sink fitted with ribbed sides for hand scrubbing. The used water can then be poured into the washer's main tub when done.

Smart technology means that washers can be compatible with a smart thermostat and controlled and monitored using a mobile app. The system can switch the washer to a quiet mode when you are home, or turn it on only during low-cost, off-peak energy hours.

Unfortunately, once you buy a new washer and dryer, you still have to get rid of your old ones. And not every appliance dealer will take you old machines. So the problem for many homeowners is how to easily get rid of their old machines.

One option for working and usable machines is to try selling them online or in a yard sale. However, if they don't sell right away or you simply don't want to take the time - what else can you do?

A simple solution is to hire a junk removal service.

Washer And Dryer Removal Service near Wichita KS: By using an eco-friendly junk removal service to repurpose your old appliance you don’t have to worry about the environmental impact of disposing of your old machines. Working appliances are much appreciated by donation centers and charities.

However, there are times when appliance recycling makes more sense than donation, especially if the equipment is inefficient and close to breaking down. Your old washing machine and dryer can be disassembled and recycled and a junk removal service can help to make sure your old appliances are recycled for the scrap metal and other materials.

Moving and lifting a washer or dryer is hard work and requires a vehicle that can handle the load safely. This is another reason to hire a junk removal firm. Wichita Household Services teams are well trained for these tasks and they also have the right equipment to do it quickly and efficiently.

Tubs for Mobile Homes Cleaning Tips

Bathtubs are ardent spots for stains and filth; however, it is important to keep it clean, as it is the place where you clean yourself. Whether you are planning to clean it just for hygiene purposes, for a makeover, or you are considering selling your mobile home and you want the bathroom to appear as clean as feasible. Either way, here are some tips and tricks that you can follow to get your bathtub looking its best:

Basic Remedies for Cleaning Bathtubs

Severe chemicals can wreak destruction on your lungs in small enclosed areas, like bathrooms. And when you use harsh cleaners, it can damage surfaces or affect the color to disappear.

If you are searching for bathtubs for mobile homes cleaning options or something that isn’t quite as harsh on your lungs, a fair and square solution of white vinegar and hot water is an excellent place to begin. Put the solution in a spray bottle and spray it down your bathtub. Rest 10 to 15 minutes and then wash dry. For more stubborn spots and stains, another great product is the old-fashioned baking soda. Spray baking soda on the stained places, spray with your vinegar solvent, and then mop it down. Giving it some time to set enables the blend to really go to work. Wash and rub dry.

Another alternative to clean fiberglass bathtubs, which are traditional in mobile homes, is to use dishwashing fluids. These are non-abrasive and are an excellent option for cleaning off bath residue and other droplets in the bathtub. Several mobile homes have Garden Tubs – which are more lavish bathtubs with jacuzzi streams. So, if you have a garden tub, you may have to do some more research for the cleaning option.

Here are four simple steps to get you started:

Load the tub over the streams with hot water

Add a cup of vinegar and drop the jets

Make the streams run for 10 to 15 minutes

Drain and rinse the tub

You may have to repeat this method numerous times to get all the trash out. You also can refine the fountains immediately using a little brush or old toothbrush, which will keep them fresh.

Bathtub Renovations, Going Beyond Cleansing

If your bathtub is scratched, replacing it can be challenging. Some homeowners might be capable to tackle this issue themselves, while others will need to address it to a pro. Be certain and watch for particular mobile home components and suppliers, since sizing can be a problem.

Retaining Bathtubs Looking Fabulous – Prevention is Key

Once you have completed all the hard work of scrubbing the tub, you will have to maintain it. The best advice is to thoroughly wipe down the tub after every use. Doing this will prevent spots and decay from growing up. Also, make certain to eliminate bath products and bath mats – trapped water can create rust and mildew spots in your bathtub. Wipe down the streams after use to also restrain them from swelling with grime.

The Benefits of Walk-In Tubs

If you are in the market for a new bathtub, it may be time to consider a walk-in tub. There is a huge selection of walk-in tubs on the market today. Whether you are looking for a walk-in tub to replace an existing tub or you are looking for a completely new walk-in tub, it can be a daunting task. By the time you have finished reading this article, you should be more confident in your ability to get the kind of walk-in tub you want, choose a reputable walk-in tub company, understand the installation process of walk-in tubs, and answer any other questions you may have concerning purchasing a walk-in tub.

When considering walk-in tubs, many people fail to take into consideration one very important factor. You need to ensure that the walk-in tub company you choose has certified professionals with the proper credentials. There is nothing more important than having a trained professional install your walk-in tub as opposed to trying to do it yourself. A qualified and certified professional will be able to discuss your installation options with you, go over the job with you, show you how to check and recheck the water pressure, and even explain any other issues that may arise during the installation process.

Once you have narrowed your list down to a few walk-in tubs that meet your specifications and budget, it is time to start contacting prospective walk-in tub companies for a free walk-in tub estimate. You can easily find these estimates online by visiting the websites of the tub manufacturers. When contacting these companies, ask for a complete explanation of all the costs, which will include labor costs. These are some of the most affordable options for seniors living on a fixed income.

One of the most popular types of walk-in tubs on the market today is the whirlpool type. Many elderly homeowners love whirlpool baths because they provide a soothing water pressure and a unique, relaxing experience. The most common problem associated with whirlpools is that they can become clogged with hair, skin, and other waste particles. Also, the constant movement of the bathwater may cause an elderly person to feel sore from rubbing against the drain. Many seniors who invest in whirlpools often find that using them regularly helps to relieve muscle pain, reduce back pain, as well as decrease the number of falls that they sustain due to bathwater residue.

Walk-in baths, whether they are purchased from a walk-in tub company or a traditional bathtub repair shop, provide a great alternative for those who want to experience an intensive massage without having to leave their homes. Many individuals with mobility issues have difficulty walking long distances and can become exhausted after just a few minutes of exertion. A regular soak in a walk-in tub can give an aging person the luxury of spending a little bit of time soaking away the tension in their muscles. Additionally, these baths are great for promoting circulation, strengthening the immune system, and easing muscle pain. Because they are so relaxing, many seniors decide to stay in them for as long as possible instead of subjecting themselves to a long list of painful traditional therapies.

The cost of walk-in tubs can be quite steep, especially if you need to have one or more of them installed. However, by shopping around for the best prices on walk-in tubs, it may be possible to save a significant amount of money on the installation of this particular type of bathtub. Since many tubs will come with a warranty or guarantee, it may be wise to invest in one of these to ensure that it will work properly for years to come.

SO TODAY WAS A DAY.

This week is the first week of the winter really getting down to single digits. Beyond that, we’re sticking right around zero, and even spending a lot of time in the negatives.

If you’ve been here awhile, you remember my breaking pipes last winter, and how the insulation under the bathroom/tub needed to be replaced after getting drenched.

Yeah well, guess what didn’t get done this summer?

BUT I knew this, and was mostly prepared for it. Leave faucets dripping, etc. My biggest concern was the drain from the tub freezing, because that will make it hard to, oh, take a shower. Surprisingly enough, I’ve actually got that handled REALLY well, so far.

I went to bed last night, left myself an alarm in a few hours so I could get up and check all the faucets. Forgetting that ALARMS NEVER WORK FOR ME. Still, I woke up an hour later, so not too bad.

But...the hot water line was frozen. So I break out the blow dryer. I’ve become well versed in thawing pipes over the last year, and already had a few yesterday that thawed right out.

(Side note, I love in a mobile home, so pretty much all the pipes, and where they freeze, is largely inaccessible via normal means, and gotta rely on transmitted heat and a few well placed holes...this works surprisingly well, most of the time.)

Hot water to the bathtub unfroze almost instantly. Bathroom sink wasn’t too long after that...but the kitchen sink was still not going, and that pipe runs aaaaall the way down the house. Still, knowing the others were frozen, it was probably not TOO far down, and would just take a matter of time,

Cut to a few hours later, a bit of insulation pulled from the wall (This is normal, we have a hole cut in the wall to facilitate this stuff, not like...some huge nightmare project or me panicking and tearing apart the house literally) to get better access to deeper pipes...I was about ready to call it quits.

I REALLY REALLY didn’t want to call the plumber. I JUST PAID THEM OFF for all of last year’s work, and am genuinely starting to pull ahead finally.

And doing that, I also knew I would have to do a tiny bit of shoveling to get to the piece of wood screwed down to cover the crawlspace, so they could get in, in literally zero degrees weather.

While I was doing that, I said eff it, I’m gonna try doing this myself. I got to the door, which was easier than I feared, and the snow wasn’t a frozen ice block, grabbed the hair dryer and an industrial strength outdoor extension cord of doom we have, and yes, I realise this is still probably a terrible idea.

I got into the crawlspace, and I have never ever seen under here before, and let me tell you...it is not even a CRAWLspace. Fortunately, all the pipes are right near the wall. UNFORTUNATELY I thought they were inaccessible behind wood planks blocking them in and insulation.

I swore for a bit, got a bit closer, poked around a bit, and did find the pipes with only a little bit of difficulty and not THAT hard to get to, once I knew where I was going.

Now it was just a matter of trying to get into position, hold the hair dryer in the most accurate way possible, and...wait. For reference, I was sitting on the wood board that blocks the crawlspace, placed on the snow, with my back to the house, holding the electrical hazard death machine blow dryer backwards over my shoulder behind me, so I could more easily reach this the most comfortable way. I didn’t want to disturb all the junk inside the crawlspace to try and go legs first. Once I was in position, this wasn’t so bad.

And after not TOO long a time (I honestly wonder if I could’ve kept going from the house, or if this afforded me a slightly better angle that shaved off time), I stopped, THOUGHT I could hear water running, and gave it a bit more time just to be sure, and since I was in a good position. Got up, got in the house, and hallelujah, the kitchen faucet was running when I came inside.

Got everything put back together, and have a plan for the rest of the week, because New Years is going to be EVEN COLDER.

So, on the one hand, this took me FOUR HOURS to do.

On the other hand, I SUCCEEDED and didn’t need to call anyone and lose money to this.

I also now know better what to do to prevent, AND fix, for the future.

Today. Was a day. And I am just now finishing my coffee, and caught up on Tumblr.

(This has also delayed the recording of this week’s Blood Stream. Which, to be fair, I should’ve done already, but this blew my plans even more out of the water.)
