Not sure yet but I just ordered a Flowtron bug zapper from Amazon about 20 mins ago so hopefully next weekend I’ll see some results. They are bad right now. Can’t even stay out in my shop with the door open in the evenings. ...
I had this problem and it was a bad fuel solenoid under the carb. ...
Renovated an old home. Never again. Came out beautiful but would have been cheaper to tear down and start over. Many hidden costs. Had to redo all mechanical systems and plumbing. ...
Sounds like now is the time when it affects your quality of life. ...
I have been told by two parents recently that their kids were going to A&M and Bama because they were getting full scholarships and LSU wasn’t offering anything. ...

Don’t waste your money like I did. There have been other threads on this and the consensus is that they suck. ...

It’s 24 volt so it tends to last the day for us. Charge it overnight. Much better batteries than power wheels. ...

How old? Just around the yard? My kids have Razor electric 4 wheelers for cruising the yard and they are on them all the time. Easy to maintain and cheaper than gas 4 wheelers for now. ...
Whatever you think it may cost, double it. Been down that road. Cost a fortune more than expected. And that was before Covid. You have all that inside that you mentioned plus any exterior problems or updates plus landscaping, fencing, patio updates, etc, etc. it’s all really expensive and worse if a...
Ha, this your fist kid, huh? Kids and babies have coexisted with rocks since like forever. ...
Show up at the Prop Stop with a wad of cash and I’ll bet you can have your dream boat. There will be plenty there once it gets warmer. ...

Depends on where you are but Ive had both in BR and they are both about the same… They both suck. ...
Just made it to Wisconsin tonight for business trip. 70+ degrees today when I got here. Trying to get this last drink down before the storms hit with threat of tornadoes and will be snowing in the am and like 20 degrees. ...

re: Lifting & Leveling Sidewalk

Posted by mtcheral on 2/27/24 at 2:22 pm
I did it once with just one section that was sinking and will never do it again. A lot more work and more strenuous than expected. Just replace. ...
Glad you posted this as I am having to figure this out with the weather getting good again myself. Mine is Bluetooth and I was able to use the phone app but functions with that are very limited. Can’t even deploy or retract with it. Sucks to pay $200 for a remote and not even sure that’s gonna fix t...
The way I did mine I used the same siding the tuff shed had so it all looked like it came that way. ...
Sorry just seeing this but yes, just like that. Ran some thin sheet metal under the shingles and over the transition to the metal roof that I added. ...
I attached a 2x6 lengthwise along the roof about midway up. Ran rafters down to the new wall. Mine may have been a little taller because at the low side mine was about 7’ and high side at the shed about 8’. I’m 6 ft and it was plenty high enough for me to function inside it. ...
Doesn’t help you going vertical but I had one that came with my last house that I just built a lean to off of. Added another 12 ft out x the 16 ft length. Worked fine for plenty extra storage. ...
