You understand the next guy that replaces those lights is going to curse you and wonder why you used such big screws and other "make it work" fixes. Whoever originally put them up was cussing and wondering why nothing was as simple as expected. You are just one guy in a series dealing with ho...

Posted by eatpie on 7/10/24 at 1:59 pm

I suspect the most logical reason is the Firestone shop did not have the filter on hand, and could not get one quickly. They sent it out without the filter, figuring (correctly), you'd not know for quite some time. I'm rather surprised there is not some idiot light indicating a pressure difference o...

re: Removal of Wasp Nest from Bushes

Posted by eatpie on 6/20/24 at 1:24 pm

They won't fly at night. Try and figure out a general square foot area the nest is located. Once you have them targeted (generally) get your shop vac and a flashlight and vacuum them up at night. Remember, the light will be "daylight" to them, so you'll need to act fast. Any poison you spray in ther...
