    How to rot stumps

    Years ago a landscaper told my Dad (rip) to put lots of grass clippings on stumps to rot them. It did seem to work well. Sent from my SM-S205DL using Tapatalk

    What kind of tools have you found in the road??

    I've found lots of tools while riding a bicycle since I'm not going that fast, but I bet like most people here you can spot a 1/2" socket out the corner of your eyes if you're doing 65![emoji16] The best place to look is a sharp curve or intersection. Even hardware if it looks decent I'll save...

    Troubleshooting a fluorescent light fixture

    You're in kings row having identical working lights. So simply switching part by part is the key, of course making sure connections are good with intermittent one. Sent from my SM-S205DL using Tapatalk

    Broken garage door spring

    That's what I thought. The guy does it all the time...it would take me all day and easy to get injured! Yes, Virginia has changed not for the better in lots of ways. People leave a bad place, move here, turn it into where they left! Sent from my SM-S205DL using Tapatalk

    Broken garage door spring

    One of the 5 garage door springs broke. It's one I almost never open, maybe 5 times in 30 years. Strange the doors opened a lot springs are fine. Doors tracks go straight up because it's 2 story. I just got a quote from a guy who installs garage doors, $180, $100 spring + $80 labor. Years ago I...

    French drain inside a permanently wet shed?

    I like the shed. Me...I would seriously consider moving it to a better part of your property. I'd have a concrete slab poured and ready to move it onto. Sent from my SM-S205DL using Tapatalk

    Solar power

    I thought of solar years ago...but I figured this way. Our average power bill is about $90/month or $1,080/ year. Same as $24,000 invested at 4.5%. (S&P averaged 13.6% last 10 years). In 10 years we've lost power maybe 2 hours total. I have no maintenance costs with power company. I've never...

    4 stroke bicycle

    I put a Briggs 4 stroke on a bicycle some years ago. A friend clocked me at 61mph on highway. Super dangerous, I removed motor. I have a cruiser bike with one of those 2 stroke motor kits on it now. I've had it to about 30 or so. Sent from my SM-S205DL using Tapatalk

    Best thing you ever made in your garage

    That's amazing! A contractor friend told me his funny boat story. A few years ago he buys marine plywood and builds a small boat. He trys it on water and it's fine, but told he needed to register it, so he did. Our county charged him for that plus tax plus insurance. Like he said making a...

    Guessing this is junk ?

    I think Bert & I are twins! [emoji16] When I throw something out it's REAL trash! At the very least I'd take it apart saving the spring, any screws, etc. You never know when you may need something! [emoji38] Sent from my SM-S205DL using Tapatalk
