Got up early and took my brother to return his sleep study equipment and went to Samsclub. Swung my friend's house on the way to drop something off. Friend's wife got some bad news. When she and her exbf split up he wanted to keep her car and they agreed he'd refinance it in his name and make...

Rusty, I know it's a pain but see if you can get your doctor or the doctor's staff to argue with Medicare for you. Sometimes stressing that you actually need that med can get them to change their minds. My mother has had to call her insurance to argue with them herself a few times when they...

Sunday and Monday my brother and I went over to help our friend with demo of the addons to the workshop at the house he's buying. Inspector said they had to come down to get bank approval of the sale. Got most of the front addon down on Sunday and the rest on Monday. Had more help on Monday, but...

I recently watched this video Hopefully that litterbox will hold up, but cleaning up the corners will be a pain. My cats would break it. Got 3 packages from Samsclub today and only 2 of them were things I ordered. They sent a duplicate item for some reason. Giant blankets that my cats are...

Sorry I haven't posted in a few days. Got hit with fatigue again. Tire shop never could figure out the source of the sounds. Got my struts (front and back) replaced. They replaced my brand new rear brake pads without asking and put cheaper/lower quality ones on but didn't charge me for them...

Repair shop didn't call at all so I'm guessing they didn't figure out the problem yet. I will have to swing by tomorrow. I was sick all day-- tummy ache and the runs and pretty much curled up in a fetal position and slept all day. My brother got food for Mom fortunately. He'd made red beans and...

Ooh, I love the battery charger. I don't drink coffee so can't really comment on types. My brother makes barley tea that tastes like coffee but doesn't have the caffeine. I don't drink sodas either. I hate carbonated drinks. In my area there are 100 churches and most of them are all about tax...

The carpets in my house were done with some sort of knee kicker thingy. I don't think anything was power-stretched. Don't think the installer had the equipment for that. Been over 20yrs and no wrinkles. Got hit with fatigue past few days and haven't used internet as much. Been helping my friend...

There is no weight on that pipe to pull it down so I don't know why it dropped. But my friend said he thinks he disconnected it to get it out of the way while he was running waterlines and that it didn't take when he reconnected it. Thus far it seems to be holding (I've been checking). JB Weld...

I am impressed with how highup did the reducers. Meanwhile, since life has been lobbing lemons at me lately (air fryer died, microwave died, air handler sprung unfixable leak & had to be replaced, brakes in truck went out, needed new tires) and now I discovered a pipe under the kitchen sink...

@highup is how far you butt into the doorway a matter of preference? Or does it depend on door swing? Is that door swinging out and toward the higher flooring? I am trying to figure out how far I need to go into a doorway where the door swings in to the room with lower flooring. I know I need a...

My father was the same way. He used to take his toys apart. His mom also said he was able to pull his play pen apart. When I was in kindergarten he made me a little robot that had legs that moved up and down out of a coffee can and a toy train motor. He also rigged some kind of electric...

I can't remember if I mentioned it, but when I was driving home yesterday I came to a complete stop and there was this sort of thud and I felt the sensation like something was shifting from the back of the truck and slamming forward (like when something heavy in the pickup bed shifts). No...

MSLI, I just realized that the inside edge of that full wall doesn't line up with the outside edge of the pony wall. So, could you do the flooring so that it ends on the outside edge of the tall wall with a plank that ends right where the pony wall begins? You could then miter cut the trim to...

I agree with CJ about bringing the flooring to that pony wall and then transitioning. It looks weird with one strip being different in front of the pony wall. So, long story short, we now have working AC! Woohoo. It was 88degrees when they first turned it on. It has now reached 70. They put a...

The estimate for just the air handle (which can be replaced without replacing the condenser) was more than it cost to install a condenser and air handler back in 2010. But it will come with a 10yr parts and labor warranty, surge protector, 11lbs of refrigerant, and an air purifier. They will be...

Well, after spending over $700 yesterday to try to fix AC-- getting 6lbs of refrigerant put in-- it all blew out in about an hour and never cooled. It's technically outside the service range for the installer. They can't get replacement parts for the unit, can't get a direct replacement unit...

Cleaned up, took trash out, brought cat food and cat litter in, cleaned litterboxes, called AC people and took awhile to get through. They were going to come out today but ended up not having time and called to apologize. Said they will try to come in the morning. Took toilet jack over to...

We used to get stuff via antenna but we're not in range of anything now. Had the antenna on a 50ft tower, but a hurricane knocked the antenna down. Tower is still standing. When I visited my friend earlier today, little Kelebrimbor came running up to me and wanted to be held & petted. My...

I'm trying to visualize the fixing up of the remote. Do you have links to any of the videos. Never heard about graphite being in them. That is very interesting. Using #2 pencil lead is a good idea. As an aside, when my late elderly friend started to have trouble with his old TV remote I got him...
