    Whirlpool washer

    My five-year-old Whirlpool clothes washer stuck in its fill cycle after loading with my work clothes. It was making the noise it normally makes when filling, but water was not coming in, and the row of lights on the dash was completely dark, so there was no way to tell which cycle it was in...

    Windows 10 file deleted

    When I attempted to store a document in a folder on my desktop computer, a window popped up stating that there was already a folder by that name, and did I want to replace it. I clicked on yes without thinking, and then realized that I had other important documents in that folder. Now, the...

    tap-con screws

    In the past when I bought tap-con screws, they came with a bit of the proper size included. I bought a pack of 25 yesterday at the big box near me, and there wasn't a bit in the pack. I noticed a display of bits made by tap-con hanging on the corner at the endcap. The bit for these quarter...

    2013 GMC Sierra half-ton

    I received a notice from the state that my pickup will need to pass inspection by May 1 so I can get my windshield sticker for another year. I took it to an inspection station where they took the key and drove it into their bay and looked it over. After awhile one of the guys came to me and...

    AGM battery

    I had to jump my 2013 GMC Sierra to start it this morning. I guess I'll start looking around for a new battery. I can't complain, nine years of reliable service ain't bad. The problem is, I haven't bought a battery in fifteen years, so I'm not familiar with the options. Walmart has its...

    low oil pressure

    I bought my 2013 GMC Sierra 1/2 Ton, 2WD with 5.3 engine new in 2013, and the oil pressure gauge showed low readings from day one. When it was cold it would show less than 40 psi, and after warm-up it was down around 30. I have 35K miles on it now, and oil pressure readings are probably 30 psi...

    pullin' posts

    My son brought home a neat toy he ordered from an outfit in Oklahoma City for pulling fence posts. It has a Hi-lift jack attached to an over-size dolly, and it seems to work well for the job. He pulled twenty chain-link fenceposts out of heavy clay in a couple of hours. I would have given...

    Worx electric chainsaw

    I haven't found a way to regulate the amount of oil coming out of the oiler on this saw. When I set it down between cuts, it leaves a puddle that looks like the Exxon Valdez was parked there. I store it handle-end down in a 5-gallon bucket to keep whatever oil is left in the tank from leaking...

    glue removal

    I used Titebond III to glue and clamp some poplar boards together for a panel. The squeeze-out scraped off well, but I allowed a few spots of glue to dry on the face of the panel, and deep-sanding does not seem to be getting it off. Is there a solvent that will remove it? I had planned to...

    stick welders

    I read a post not long ago that was titled "stick welders", and had a question about brands of 110v stick welders. Some of the replies described a brand I had never heard of. I meant to bookmark the link but forgot to. The company had the word "blue" in the name, as I recall. I have looked...

    flip phone

    I didn't want to hijack the phone topic posted earlier, so I started a new one to try to get recommendations for a new model of flip phone. I tried an iPhone a few years ago after carrying a flip phone for several years, but I couldn't come up with a good way to carry it. Plus, the...

    Followup on hardie lap siding

    I think I've had my first and last experience installing Hardie lap siding. I used it on a storage shed to match what is on the house, and it turned out okay. I used my 4.5" grinder with a diamond blade to cut the material, and that was dusty, but it worked alright. I used 6d galvanized box...

    screws in Hardie lap siding

    I'm building a small tool shed and plan to use Hardie lap siding on it. Most builders around here use air nailers to install it, but I don't have a nail gun. I've used drywall screws to hang concrete backerboard, and they worked fine. I was thinking about hanging the Hardie board with deck...

    5 Lucas starter

    I'd like to replace the starter on my 1981 model 5610. Messick's lists several new or reman. at various prices, but they all look like the old 5" Lucas. But they also show one that is described as a 4 1/2". So. is there a chance I could order the wrong thing? YT parts lists a starter that...

    drilling ceramic tile

    I remember seeing a post about this awhile back, but I can't find it in the archives. I'm stuck with the job of mounting window shades over a couple of windows that are surrounded by ceramic tile. I've never tried to drill though it, but I'm thinking a regular masonry drill bit will do it...

    2013 GMC SIERRA side-view mirror

    Minor collision caused my pickup mirror to dislodge itself from the four support pegs in the plastic housing. The mirror itself is unbroken and hangs from the base by two wires. It looks like the four attachments on the mirror should re-seat themselves onto the pegs with enough force, but that...

    technology

    I asked my 7-year-old granddaughter to show me how to use my wife's Iphone to take a picture of a woodworking project. She had it ready so quick I couldn't keep up, so I just let her take the pictures for me. When I was seven years old, my granddad asked me to set a bucket on the floor in...

    aluminum wiring

    My wife and I bought a house in town that was built in 1968 and has aluminum electrical wiring. At first, I thought I might remodel it myself, so I took several bids from electricians. They all agreed that the aluminum wiring could be safely left in place if we used the proper connectors. I...
