    Deck stained after rain

    So I cleaned the deck with outdoor bleach, rinsed and waited for it to dry. Deck was very clean of any stains. Then sprayed "Wet and Forget" cleaner. It's suppose to clean and prevent future mold & mildew. Ammonia based. Sprayed and let it dry. No rinsing. Deck is under a large oak tree...

    What is this odd but neat style of subdivision house called exactly.

    + 1 and count me out for that development.

    Rapidly onboard JP-5 to USS Abraham Lincoln

    I think I read that afterburner is 10x the fuel usage for only 2X the thrust. And that planes taking off from a carrier are so loaded with ordnance that they have little fuel in their fuel tanks and pretty much must immediately fuel from a tanker after takeoff. During a sortie run a tanker is...

    aerobic septic system requirement?

    Are you close to lake or ocean? The fancier septic systems do a better job of getting nitrogen out of the water. And into the air which is fine. Air is 80% nitrogen anyway. Trying to prevent algae blooms in lakes and ocean. We have a system like you mention. I think it has a 3 section...

    Outdoor electrical box with snapped screws.

    I may just buy 4 blank covers and use wire ties to hold them tight to box. Forget about the outlet for now.

    Outdoor electrical box with snapped screws.

    Crazy neighbor has been calm lately. The HOA board told him locking my truck (which chirps) at 10 or 11 at night is reasonable. He never commented on him being visited by Delaware Dept of Agriculture for illegal use of a pesticide (moth balls on planting beds to poison my dog). Someone must...

    Outdoor electrical box with snapped screws.

    It's a non metallic brown outdoor box. The front and back are open with screw holes where you can mount a blank cover or outlet with cover. Those screw holes are the problem.

    Attic condensation

    One issue at my home with venting the attic was given the design of the roof there was not enough linear feet for the proper amount of ridge vent. So they added a fan powered roof vent. But it's one or the other. With both the fan will pull air from the ridge vent. There will be no draw of...

    Outdoor electrical box with snapped screws.

    I have two outdoor electrical boxes in my lawn that support a floodlight shining on my house. Each box has a cover on one side and outlet on the other and spotlight attached to the top. It is a non metallic box. Pulling off the cover and outlet 6 out of 8 screws snapped. Normal outlet...

    Speed Bleeders (love them)

    With the Speed Bleeder you just open it a tiny amount and the one way valve does the rest. So yes you could get air through the threads if you opened them a lot more than necessary. They work and are SS. Heck I would buy then just for being SS. Who wants to replace a caliper because you...

    Speed Bleeders (love them)

    There are some knockoffs. But this is the real McCoy. I ordered SS ones for a little extra along with the bag that's used for bleeding. http://speedbleeder.com/index.htm

    How to clean coolant side of a boat heat exchanger?

    Some pump through "Barnacle Buster" through the raw water side. I think it may depend if the boat was run in salt or fresh water.

    oil for a marine 351w?

    Given it's a MasterCraft I expect it's an inboard with a transmission and a prop shaft and prop.

    Which Oil Drain Valve do you use? Fumuto? Valvomax?

    If I died my wife would just "call someone" for pretty much anything and everything.

    Mileage remaining after fuel tank refill - Chevy Traverse

    Yes, but fuel going through the pump not the pump sitting in fuel is what cools the pump. Although old GM vehicles at the age of TBI would have the fuel pump fail if you looked at it wrong. A Camry of same age, you could run out out fuel every day and never fail.

    Mileage remaining after fuel tank refill - Chevy Traverse

    So my similar question is how are they calculating the average. Some boats have an actual flowmeter but I doubt cars or trucks have one. So are they calculating the number of seconds the injectors are spraying out fuel in a given time period and knowing the amount of fuel an injector puts...

    Rapidly onboard JP-5 to USS Abraham Lincoln

    So it seems the Navy is in a hurry to rapidly onboard fuel the the USS Abraham Lincoln in San Diego. The fuel depot can onboard fuel at the rate of 300,000 gallons/hr but I guess with other ships in port needing fuel the fuel depot cannot pump fast enough. So the Navy hired two barges to...

    Suggestions for mechanics stethoscope

    Looking for a mechanics stethoscope for under $50. I see some electronic ones for just under $50. Looking to find potential issues with something driven by the serpentine belt in my I/O boat engine. I have some mild hearing loss but no hearing aid. (Yet).
