My now dead BIL plumber said to only buy Korky.

Our home in Kentucky has 2 levels and we have a 4 ton AC cooling 3500 sq. ft. Our upstairs at front yard ground level has 12 inches of fiberglass in the attic cross laid. Our central unit is in the lower level or bright basement part. I am not sure of its age but last spring it needed some...

When I got my lawn oy out this spring it would not start. I pulled out the spark plug and checked it and pulled the rope and it sparked OK, so it was on to the carb and exhaust port. Port checked and its open. Carb has a bubbled up looking float and the main jet was plugged solid. I am not...

I will have to recommend one product that I used once for a ticking lifter, It was a quart of DuraLube. My 76 Dodge camper at the time with a 318 LA motor was ticking loudly. As I added it the ticking stopped and still has not returned. My SIL has it now and I drove it a few months ago and...

Your meter reader might not appreciate that sprinkler idea.

I also have to say that our GE washer was below the fridge in our bright basement home and all that water went through it, but it is the cheap knob kind and when I put it back in it worked like nothing ever happened.

We have a second home near Kentucky Lake and 12 years ago we went on a vacation and came back to find we had a major flood in our home. The plastic line to the ice maker split and flooded our home with 4000 gallons of water. We were gone 10 days. Anyway it took 4-5 months to get our home...

I have been buying the Duracell from Sam's Club and all of them here in My area of KY have a sticker saying made by East Penn. Even my lawn mower likes them. I haven't had to replace one yet. My Yukon had a Wal-Mart 4 year in it when I bought it used and it lasted 2 years and when I took it...

I am 79 and still doing all my own repairs on 10 vehicles. I am in the end of a water pump replacement on our Roadtrek camper van and needing to get next to a splash shield replacement on our Mazda 5. Then a knock sensor replacement on our 2005 Yukon and then a solenoid replacement on our...

Love my Lawn Boy mowers. Lots better than a 4 stroke in tall glass.

I had mine done just over 2 years ago and it was truly amazing. I just had a checkup and they tested my vision in each eye. My pressure was 12 in each eye and I read them the letters on the bottom line of the chart. After a few months I needed reading glasses for close work like on my...

I have 285 hrs on our Briggs 20 HP single with zero problems. I service it at the end of the season and its on our 42 inch cut Husqvarna that me bought from a dealer in OPE. Salesman told us not to get the Koehler because 20 years ago they were having problems. Ours has the hydrostat with a...

We have a Mazda 5 which is a small mini van. It has 2 big sliding doors and the rear seat room is great and the seats in the middle adjust fore and aft and recline some. Our grand kids love it because even when the get to booster seat size they can open the sliding doors and close them too and...

My daughter works for the USPS and I have learned on my bills that I pay by check in the mail that it takes at least 5 days anymore to get through the maze of the postal system.

We just bought some Bridgestone Turanza tires for our 2014 Mazda CX-5. They are amazing for traction and very quiet. It came with Yokahama's and they were OK but these grip amazing and the car feels much more stable wet or dry. $700+ with Road hazard and rebalance and rotation for 5 years...

Sounds like belt tension to me caused by the alternator trying to replace the power needed to start the motor.

I just installed a new pump, not a rebuilt , on our 5.2 Magnum motor in our Roadtrek camper van. It was sealed in a plastic bag for about 12 years. I bought it when we bought the van because it had about 80k miles when we got it. Coming home from last vacation it started making noise and...

I used to love going to my local Tempe,AZ Pep Boys. They had some good service guys too. Oh well, None around here in Kentucky anyway.

That used to be something they did in Phoenix in the late 70's. They used a fine mist that turned on when the AC turned on.

Years ago I learned for me that everytime I put a lot of work into cleaning and polishing a car then somebody would crash into me and total it. Gave that process up.
