    Home Improvement

    I put a battery backup on my DVR and my modem/router. The DVR was because we get a lot of power blinks where the power just goes off for a few seconds but it would screw up any recordings I had going at the time which is pretty annoying. Love having the wifi work while the power is out though...

    Yeah the cheap meters work but once you're used to using a Fluke they just seem so shitty. My Fluke meter is nearly 13 years old and works exactly like the day I bought it.

    Homesteading and Hobby Farm/Ranch

    My girlfriend uses that electric mesh stuff. It works well and she doesn't usually even turn it on. I think the electricity is more to keep other things out than to keep the chickens in. Very easy to move except for the charger needing a ground rod. If it's an option go with the plug-in...

    It won't reset? Or it immediately trips again when you reset it? If it won't reset at all you probably need a new breaker. If it immediately trips again then something is still wet as others have said.

    Homesteading and Hobby Farm/Ranch

    Raising it off the ground is a good idea. You don't need to keep wood shavings down for them. They sleep on roosts, not on the floor so it doesn't matter if there's crap on the floor. I've even seen coops where they put chicken wire for the floor under the roosts so the shit just falls out...

    Costner is great in the show. Some people like Beth but she is just way too far out there to me to be believable. Most of the other characters are pretty shallow. The plots and the cowboy stuff is just pure cornball melodrama. I'm still watching for Costner and because it's kind of fun but...

    He would have had about 3 more if he could run as fast as Jaelen Hurts. He was chasing him in the backfield all night.

    I would enjoy these tick tocks more if I didn't think 90% of them are fake. If you actually caught that on camera it would be pretty wacky, but my money's on her friend is filming and they're both going "this is going to go viral!!!".

    I've thought about trying those cricket chips. The "flour" might be doable as well. Don't want to eat anything that looks like a bug though.

    Not really home improvement but since we're talking about wells I just drilled one and it was one of the more stressful experiences I've had (spoilered for length). TL/DR - Drilling a well is very nerve wracking.

    Get some water out of there and have it tested and that will tell you whether you want to drink it or not. I wouldn't go crazy on a filtration system for something that's just for emergencies. You can always get something to filter drinking water and just use the regular well water for...

    It looks like the power is disconnected from it. That might be all it would take to get it going again. Those shallow well jet pumps are like $150-$300 depending on how big you need but they're not much. That type of pump can usually only pump about 25 feet max so your well is not deep.

    This. If it's not a frost-free freezer you should expect to defrost it once a year. Sucks but the frost free ones have a fan in them which I've been told will cause your meat to freezer burn more so there's no free lunch. It's not that bad. Pull all the shit out and put it in boxes and...

    2021-2022 NFL Season: Deshaun Watson will die a Texan!

    The secondary and linebackers are thin. The line has a lot of depth. Shanahan and Lynch are in love with the D line and Jordan Willis who looked like a stud in preseason will be coming back from suspension halfway through the season to replace whoever got hurt in the first half of the season...

    2021-2022 NFL Season: Deshaun Watson will die a Texan!

    The 9ers/lions game got pretty stupid in the 4th quarter. I was susprised how well the O-line held up for the Lions, even without Kinlaw but it was great to see Bosa back and looking good. The Verrett injury hurts bad. Best player on the worst part of the team. When he went out Jared Goff...

    Is it a lot of work to do the live edge/resin thing? We had a guy make a kitchen counter top for my Mom's house out of a piece of cedar my dad had milled off of the ranch years ago. He was a friend so we didn't talk about price and were pretty shocked when he billed us $2400 for it. He did a...

    Sorry man. It's a really bad time to have to buy a vehicle. I had planned to buy a new pickup for the ranch this fall but had to put it off because of the drought and spending $80,000 on hay for this winter but in a way it might be a good thing since it seems like not the time to be car shopping.

    It's a common thing, just called a generator cut-off or a transfer switch. Generally it's at your meter. It's important that if you're going to electrify your house wiring that you're disconnected from the grid so some power company employee doesn't think the power is off and get electrocuted...

    I don't know what code even means with regard to a well but there's nothing technical about them. It's just a hole in the ground that you stick a pump down. Just measure the depth with string and a bottle, have the water tested and see if it will kill you, then get a pump and hook power up to...

    Watt brothers vs. Bosa brothers for all time greatest brother defensive line duos? I think JJ outclasses Joey so it comes down to Nick vs. TJ which we won't know the answer to for a few years.

    Valentina Black label is my main hot sauce too. It tastes a lot like Cholula but a bit hotter and like 1/10th the price for some reason. I go through a 34oz jar of it every couple months (which costs like $2.50). Tapatio is also super cheap but these days the big bottle of Tapatio lasts way...
