Q-tip spanning across the flange at the drain hole in the toilet. Snake goes right through and can dislodge the toilet paper blockage but will build back up and prevent flow. Some people think...
My own backyard and I needed to think about what's good to see! We have the best Chinese food in the world in Richmond (5 mins from the airport), also right next to the airport, a brand new high end...
Haven't seen one of those can openers in a long time. Never thought about it before but does anyone know why one handle is round with a knob on the end?
While on vacation in China I happened to visit a large tea plantation and sat in on a tea tasting. They demonstrated the proper way to make the best cup of tea was to discard the first brew as a...
Back in the early 70's before seat belts and air bags became mandatory I used to meet my brother (insurance adjuster) at his workplace. To kill time I'd wander around the storage area and look at the...
I used the boards from my cedar fence that had been blown over in a windstorm. Fence was 15yrs. old already. I had expected the chairs to hold together for just a few years but more than 10yrs....
Yes, you can get auxiliary shut offs that screw onto the old valves where the supply tubes go. Good for use when your main shutoff doesn't work. Have you tried replacing the washer in the existing...
I toss in a packet of septonic once a year. I had it pumped after hearing discussion about the necessity of pumping regularly and out of curiosity to see how it was performing. The pump truck...
Fifteen years ago when the septic system was installed the house was equipped with American Standard 5 gal. Flush toilets. I finally had the tank pumped and there was a 4in. "crust" on the top. The...
If it's not a high end rental then it's more economical to just replace the hinges and knobs. Cabinets are already white so just spackle sand and paint the doors.
Had variable speed wipers on my 58 TBird. Intermittent or slow going up hill and fast going down hills. Seem to recall having to wait for the AM radio to warm up before the music would come on. It...
Wow! 100 percent financing at lowest commercial rate. If I could only buy a bunch of houses with such good terms I'd be on my way to being a rich man.
When you go to China make sure you load up your pockets each morning with TP from your hotel room. Public restrooms in restaurants and malls do not provide TP or hand towels.
First time I ate at a restaurant in China I left a tip. The waitress chased me down outside the restaurant to return the tip because she was afraid of being accused of stealing the change. She would...
Does anyone know how to keep the keyboard from dropping down after each letter I type? Replies are taking forever to type.:mad:
With a mortgage there may be unexpected repairs to be done but the mortgage payments will be consistent for thirty years. One thing that is guaranteed to happen if you rent is that the rent will go...
Senco cordless 18 gauge brad nailer. Bit pricey but handiest thing for trim installation on job site. No need to pack around a heavy bulky compressor.
Excalibur hotel about $23 a night Sunday to Thursday right on the strip next door to the Luxor. Bellagio if you want top class. Water fountain show runs every 15 mins right in front. Most hotels...
Look around for 3/8 T&G cedar panelling. Had that in the bathroom of my last house and never noticed any deterioration over the years. Stuff was unvarnished.
That was my car! 58 TBird. I like to think of it as early intermittent wipers.:)
I just got my renewal invoice. $175+11 for royalty fee for 1year. Total including tax is $218.88. XM is OK but I don't like it for that much. If you really like satellite radio the best bet is the...
Why not just buy a new ford f150 XLT ? Last time I checked with dealer incentives and Costco rebate was only about $24K here in Canada. Must be cheaper in the States.
Door replacements not too difficult. Inspect the fit of the old door in its jamb to see if any size adjustment is required. Then remove door and trace its shape onto the new door slab making sure to...
My brother had a corvair. It was an innovative neat car, loved the flat floor pan. I don't think it deserved the bad rep. I've driven worst cars.
