I've done it twice in the Sierras. Get a black plastic pan with the ridges on the inside and go for it. It will only take you month or so to pay for the pan, if you hit it rich. On the other hand, it was fun playing in the creek all day. I keep a pan in my RV.

My wife and I went and saw it. We liked it. My daughter is grown up and out of the house and it's been years since I've been to an early showing, during the summer, of a kid's movie. The audience is very noisy, in a good way.

The plants in my veggie garden (zuccs, cucs, pumpkins, watermelon, cantaloupe, eggplant, peppers) all look wonderful. The problem is that they are not producing fruit. I get blossoms but they mostly whither and drop. I'm thinking I don't have enough bees or whatever to pollinate the flowers and...

On the very far right of the box I'm typing this quick reply in, there is a button that says "Wrap [gfycat]tags..." Click that button and between the open and close tags it produces, insert ONLY the name, not "http" or "giant gfycat...." just the words "ZestyImportantBluefish".

I don't know what model you're using now, but I bought a Gamesaver type Foodsaver not realizing there was a difference, but it is more commercial than the ubiquitous models you see at Walmart or Target. The heat weld is wide, the vacuum is quicker and it doesn't waste as much material each time.

I like this, but then I'm not a big BBQ user. Grill Mat

Well, that was easy. Thank You.

What do I need to get a tablet, maybe a Kindle Fire, to receive TV from an HDTV antenna? All I have is the antenna.

No there isn't. It's wall to wall cars every fucking day and wall to wall non moving cars on the holidays. I lived there for 13 years up until this last Feb. The rule was get everything done in the morning and be home by 10AM.

No, its got 6.

Most of the National Forest land in AZ is available for camping. They tightened the rules some in the last couple of years, but you can basically drive off onto a Forest Service Road (make sure you close the gate behind you) and go camping, unless fire restrictions are in place. That said, I...

I wish I liked eating fish because fishing sound fun. I have a small boat for lakes. I like camping near rivers. Heck, I have a creek running through my property with trout in it, but I hate fish. I can't stand the smell so much it gives me lockjaw and I wanna puke. My wife had Talapia for...

Aren't you the guy that used a torch to assemble a plastic shed?

I've built two of those sheds, only smaller. 8x7.5. Of all the plastic sheds, I think they're the best. They have steel parts here and there that help the shed keep its shape even in AZ sun. Yeah, they're a little fiddly to put together, but if you resort to a torch, that's your fault not...

How big of a pond?

From where?

There's no universal hand sign that says "Sorry, I fucked up". Maybe if there was...

Those blocks are certainly the way to go if you don't want the wood to touch the ground, however, you might end up with quite a step-up to get into your shed. That might be an issue if you need to park a riding mower or you don't want to pick up your push mower every time you use it.

I've done this twice, once about 8 years ago and once about 1 month ago. Both times I used pressure treated 2x4s and exterior grade 5/8" plywood. I built the frame as per the shed instructions w/o the plywood. My wife and I carried it to the site and with a 4 ft level, we just dug out the...

Are you going to fill that with concrete? It looks to be 1ftx4ftx12ft (I can't really tell) and that's 48 cubic ft of material at about 150lbs/cubic ft, that's over 7000 lbs. The bracing looks grossly inadequate. Maybe you're doing something else, in which case ignore this.

No, the floor is in generally good shape with some cupping near the dishwasher from a water leak the PO let go for a long time and some gouges here and there. No new wood and no base. It's a pretty straight forward job. I think Corndog needs some more estimates. He's being quoted 3k for just...

Just for reference, I have an estimate to sand and refinish about 600 ft of maple flooring for $1800. It will take three days. They are going to use some super-duper vacuum system as the sand that they claim will capture 99% of the dust and they are going to put me, my wife and two cats up in a...

Kindle Fire? It has that help app.

I think you're right. It's been a while, but I do know that when I need turbo mode, I scan the page with my hands and read top to bottom more than left to right like the wiki article describes.

Private school in Monterey, CA., USA. We were taught a method in the 9th grade, that would have been circa 1970. Books were all the rage back then. (I'm old). I still use it today if I need to look something up, not necessarily if I'm reading a novel, although I can devour those fairly quickly...

I was taught speed reading in HS. It was a required course. Not bullshit and very useful.

If the original contractor is still around, you need to go to the state licensing board and talk to them about him. I've found these folks to be mostly on your side and there's a good chance they will have a talk with him especially if all the homeowners get involved at once in this matter. I've...

Drill from the front, obviously, but hold, or better yet, clamp a small piece of wood to the back of the door/drawer where you expect the drill to exit and drill into it. This will keep you from blowing out the back and splintering your nice cabinets. If you don't clamp but just hold the wood...

Oscillating Multi-Tool. Everybody makes one and the blades are interchangeable between manufacturers. I have a Harbor Freight version because it was cheap and works as well as a several hundred dollar Fein I used, but it doesn't feel as nice and won't last as long. It's one of those tools of...

6ft x 3ft x 4 in = 6 cubic ft., just in case math is not your friend.

You didn't run out of gas, did you? Try loosening the fuel cap. It should be vented but sometimes the little hole will clog and the tank becomes a vacuum and not allow fuel to flow.

You were right. I have a Champion Generator made in China with a clone of a Honda engine powering it. I run it once a month so that I know it will work when I need it. That thing with its plagiarized Honda engine will start on the first pull 95% of the time. I've never had to pull the cord more...

Well I went ahead and picked this up. Fucking thing will start exactly once per day. First pull. If you shut it down to empty the bag or open the gate, you might as well quit for the day. Too bad, because the mower is slick; the engine is shit. I took it back and went elsewhere and bought a...

The package says to seed spring or fall for probably that reason. I'm new to where I live now so I'm going to try now, and if the summer kills off the seedlings, I'll try again in the fall. This is all new to me.

Lowes has 50% off on Scott's EZ Seed product line right now. It gets mixed reviews but I'll go get some and see.

I believe Arris bought the modem line from Motorola. My Surfboard SB6141 had a Motorola logo and an Arris logo on the box, but only the Arris logo on the modem itself.

I've got a similar situation. Older folks let everything go. I haven't de-thatched the worst parts yet, but overall it looks pretty bad. Some of the ugly is because we just came out of winter. I mowed it yesterday. Today I'm going to apply some sort of weed n' feed and absolutely follow the...
