No video but a photo of "dyed concrete".

Not my bag - but still an interesting treatment of the hardscape. The walkway I could live with but it just doesn't look right for a driveway.

I kinda like it. But probably wouldn't like the price.

This guy did some tree work for us when we lived in Philly and became a good friend. He is a surgeon with a chainsaw. I like his "find the height of a tree with a rake" method in this video.

Once again You Tube to the rescue!

For anyone running into an issue with their ink cartridge not working right - even if it is fairly new and/or has enough ink - you may want to try this method to resolve the issue. I did just now on my HP Deskjet 3052A, and it worked great!

My home has no slide out cabinet drawers, but it's something I want.

Under kitchen sink, all other kitchen cabinets, and bathroom cabinet. Pantry also would be great if I can figure that one out.

I'm not ready to start right now but have been doing some research and ran across this vid, which is very impressive....how about the LeMans slider....ha ha...perfect for me!

Samsung washer gave SE error -- would not spin. Found this video and in 15 minutes it is working perfectly. Who knew I was an appliance technician???

Isn't that for a corner cabinet that you can't ever reach?

How is she - is she enjoying it?

How is she - is she enjoying it?

Thanks for asking! LOL....I wouldn't exactly use the word "enjoying" - but she's a trooper and fully understands this is the best place for her at this time. You know - it's always an adjustment, so given that she's doing great so far.

I always clown around with her a little when I visit........100 years old and still rockin'!

Those speed squares come in very handy!

I will be doing a slight mod to my 6' long aluminum trailer to make it easier to transport my 7' long Interceptors.



I intend to cut an opening in front wide enough to accept a 24" long wheel chock which will extend out approx. 12".

Thinking I will mount the chock on a piece of wood that can be removed.

Going to try welding the support pieces in after cutting using this method.

Bazza, I know you posted about changing tires on your bikes. Have you tried this method?

No I have not - interesting!

The hardest part is breaking the bead of course. After that it's basic stuff.

Will get back to you once I try it.

Thanks!

No video - none really needed. My trimmer has been hard to start recently, despite replacing the various wear items over the previous seasons as needed. So I took a look at what was available in the way of tune-up kits and found an amazing deal! This kit has a new carb, gaskets, an extra fuel filter, new fuel lines, an extra grommet, plug, (2) air filters, and (2) extra primer bulbs. All for $16!

A friend had given me an older trimmer he had saying he couldn't get it to run and thought it may have water damage. So I got 2 kits - one for each trimmer.

Took maybe a half hour total - hardest part getting that rubber grommet to seat into the fuel tank. Both trimmers running great now. One pull start, too!

Going through the same thing with my Ryobi 2 cycle trimmer. Keeps flooding during use. Cleaned the carb and it looked fine. Went ahead and replaced the spark plug while I was at it. I’ve ordered a new gasket and diaphragm (about $5) and waiting on it to arrive.
