The upstairs Bathroom Faucet is dripping and under warranty

Our WaterRidge bathroom faucet from Costco we bought and installed in March of 2005. The faucet just recently began a slow drip. The faucet came with a lifetime warranty however the 800 number on the installation instructions was no longer was good. I went on line and found 866-789-2273 now works so explained the issue to WaterRidge and they kindly sent out two new cartridges. There were no instructions so I did install the cold cartridge in the hot side and vise a versa which made it so the water would not completely shutoff on the hot side. I then after looking closely noticed the original cartridges had a ‘C’ on one and a ‘H’ on the other. The new ones had a red dot on one and a blue dot on the other so installing the cartridge with the blue dot on the cold side, all worked as designed. Hopefully we can get 9 more years out of this configuration.

Viking Sewing machine will not run

The needle was hitting something solid when the machine was started. Apparently it was just out of timing. I found a great YouTube video explaining how to set the timing at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYJOou1EjWQ

Sure enough just as the video described I found it rather easy to set the timing. This machine had 3 lockdown screws for the timing but the shaft still turned out of position. I think sewing machines are an amazing technology and still do not actually understand how the thread loops so nicely and ties everything together so well. Regardless watching the video and setting the timing as described the machine now works, as new, once again.

               The needle is to be positioned at this point for the timing to be correct.

Just to the left of the nylon looking belt is a screw hole with the screw removed. There are 3 screws on the shaft at this point. So I loosened the screws and rotated the shaft until the needle did not hit any metal and retightened the 3 screws which secured the timing. 

                                                  Now it runs quite again.
