Changing the subject: Soft fibrous materials -- hangings, tapestries on the walls, etc., go far to absorb noise. Can turn an echo chamber quiet(er).

I don't know whether they're still available, but when I was a kid we had a portable dishwasher, and I know someone who still uses (an old) one. These roll around the kitchen, have a counter -- or cutting board -- on top, and load from the top. The inlet hose/drain hose attaches to the kitchen faucet with a quick-release connector. The unit plugs in to any wall socket. Saves changing the cabinetry. Gives you a floating island counter.

These show up used for cheap at computer flea markets. Probably available at any computer store as scrap -- as whole computers get scrapped out when they're not worth refurbishing.

I'd like to point out that you can buy a new windbox fan for $20. Granted, that might not be the best choice, but it sets a price point.

A pilot should be on so you're not leaking gas into the house. It's not a severe hazard, unless it accumulates somewhere (as it might in an oven), but gas stinks (due to an added odorant).

Have you considered just replacing the faucet washer to fix the leak?

I came here to say this. This is simple work for a blacksmith. For more money, he'll pretty it up for you .

That's good to hear, but why does HM hide all this behind a wall of obfuscation? Why when I try to contact THEM for the T&C do they roundly ignore me? Why did I have to ask Redditors to get this information?

I've already mentioned my serious concerns with another such records system. I didn't mention that I ran into similar concerns back when I was first trying to get a COVID vaccination. RiteAid Pharmacy was giving them, but online registration was required and I could not get enough information where my personal information was being stored. The 3rd-party registrar gave no indication that it complied with HIPAA. (It may well have done, but I couldn't find that info.) Same problem with a surgical center -- that also used a 3rd party for communication.

You're right. Funny how they tuck that away at the bottom -- in smaller font.

First read-through, I don't find anything highly objectionable in the T&C, but I'll study it more before signing up.

I can't access that without logging in. I can't log in because I have not created a MyChart account.

Back a decade or so, there was a Meetup.com group in which web designers discussed their issues, software, etc. It was a good place to meet people in the field. It met in Asbury Park or nearby.
