    Want a good brand of garbage disposal?

    I'd just get rid of the disposal and put in a regular drain. They're more trouble than they're worth as far as I'm concerned. Garbage goes in the trash can.

    Good Price On 9 MM Ammo

    I usually buy most of my ammo online but I stopped on my way home from work and picked up 1000 rounds of this stuff. 18¢/round after tax, that's pretty good as far I'm concerned. They didn't have a pallet of it at my store, but they had a well stocked end cap so I'm guessing they've just been...

    AYP snowblower auger gear box died

    A while back a neighbor had their Craftsman (MTD) snow blower sitting out on the curb, I guess he thought the trash company would take it. I went over and he told me to take it if I thought I could fix it. The gear box was completely broken in pieces. I took it and replaced the gearbox with a...

    I've used Motorcraft oil filters on GM, Chrysler, and Kawasaki engines. Somehow none of them self-destructed.

    6.0 powerstroke for a forever truck

    I bought a 2007 F-350 King Ranch with the 6.0 last summer for towing my camper. My 05 with the 5.4 was definitely not up to it. This was a one owner truck, and it came from Montana where they don't use salt on the roads, so it has no rust. Interior is also in nearly perfect condition. I kind of...

    Sears is still incompetent

    Sears is far from the only place that makes you go through the checkout process to get a shipping cost. I actually just ordered an item from Sears today. It had free shipping, and also had the option for free pickup at a local Kmart. The free shipping option said it would arrive on the 18th...

    Delta 767 diverts to Shemya Island Alaska

    This isn't the first time Delta has had a 767 stranded in Alaska. In January of 2017 a 767 had an engine problem and diverted to Cold Bay, AK. That one also required a replacement aircraft to be flown in. Delta also had to hire a Volga-Dnepr An-124 to pick up de-icing equipment here in...

    Convert NG range to Propane..

    My stove came with the conversion orifices. As mentioned, propane needs smaller orifices than natural gas. Easy to replace, they just unscrew and you screw the new ones in. One for each burner and one for the oven. You just need to find the right ones for that particular stove if they're not...

    Do we have any locksmiths on here?

    My $.02...Just get all new locks. As someone suggested above, the builder probably just used cheap junky locks in the first place. Plus, you don't know who might have keys to your house. With all the different people that come and go while doing work on new construction, keys that will open your...
