    About that patio. You can cover it with pavers very easily. Don't use the thick 3-4" driveway ones, just some around 1-2" thick. Use thinset to hold the perimeter ones on, let the center ones float and sweep sand between the joints. You could also do the sides the same way but I would probably...

    Gas-Stihl, but don't buy it at a Lowes or HD. Get it at a dealer that specializes in outdoor tools. They'll have a better selection, a more knowledgeable staff and repair facilities. That said, I own a cheap-ass corded electric because I cut 2 or 3 tree limbs a year and electric chainsaws always...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Back in the day, I know I'm old, there were 3 lane highways. The one I remember while growing up was Hwy 101 in CA near San Jose before it became a major freeway. This Hwy was mostly 1 lane in either direction but for a 5 mile stretch near what was the Ampex headquarters it became 3 lanes. The...

    Although everyone does it, where I live in AZ, I think the cop is correct. That center lane is for left turns only and using it to make a right turn so as to merge into traffic is illegal.

    Is there an app that will let an iphone 5s see a HD that I have connected to my router? I have all my photos and docs there and I'd like to move things back and forth. The HD is accessible to all my other PCs (Windows) in the house.

    If you need to cut the sheetrock to see where the valve connects to the plumbing, that's a good excuse to buy an oscillating multi-tool. The kerf that thing makes is so fine, you can just put the piece you cut out back in with a dab of caulk, paint the seam, vacuum up the dust and you're done...

    I can't say I've ever seen this plumbing piece you're talking about. I've seen backflow preventers on sewer lines in the ground or on hose bibs, but never under the sink. It kinda makes sense, but when something goes wrong, backflow up through a shower or toilet or sink happens now and then.

    Thanks for that. I've been collecting those points and not knowing what good they were. Now I redeemed some for a few Amazon cards and free music.

    I remember sitting in one or two of those courses with my wife after we bought our first microwave at Friedman's Microwave in the early 80s. That thing set us back several hundred dollars. I'm old.

    I think to understand the greatness of the Polaroid process you would have had to have been older than a kid when the cameras were a thing. Naked pictures of your wife/girlfriend were out of reach to most people unless you had a darkroom or unless you were OK with the kid doing the processing at...

    The Auto Repair Thread

    The clue here is that 3 cars in the neighborhood are experiencing the same problem. Three cars with faulty starters, solenoids or relays is possible but unlikely. Three cars with old and weak batteries made worse by cold winter weather is more likely. I'd work that angle and also check, clean...

    If the weather has been getting cold, I would suspect a weak battery. Go down and have the battery load-tested. It's free and most auto parts stores and even Walmart can do it. I'm not talking voltage test. I'm saying load-test. Not the same thing. Anyway, do the free things first before you...

    This is one of the best Kitchenaid attachments for baking although quite a few companies make them. It scrapes the bowl clean as it mixes the dough.
