Eero is my recommendation. They can act alone, more than one will link up to the base like a repeater or mesh network and can be placed throughout the house and outside to create a total surround WiFi network. https://www.amazon.com/eero-reliable-gigabit-connect-Coverage/dp/B08ZK2BHP2

I have a Kohler 20kW running off natural gas. I’ve had a thread here on my install and a second thread on oil. I like the unit and directly chose it instead of Generac because of the expected durability and some concerns about parts availability on Generac. I got 4 different vendors quoting...

Look directly above the wood shavings and you will find a dime sized hole or two in a piece of wood. From carpenter bees. Not really a big deal. Be a nice nature lover and relocate that piece of wood to another more distant location and let the bee lay its eggs and have some baby bees...

My first car was a Fiat 850 spyder. All of 38 HP as I recall. The low power and stick forced me to be a careful and aware driver. Had it high school and first year of college but then my first summer real job in my field came about and that required 50+ miles each way on a high speed...

Vine has been a wonderful experience/hobby for us. I’m on my fourth 6 month period as a Gold member. Gold means up to 8 items per day with unlimited dollar value per item or in aggregate for the days take. Since March we have taken in $8,300 worth of items at no cost (as said before, we pay...

Back in the 60’s the towns didn’t collect leaves and everyone just burned them either in the backyard or on the side of the street. Someone, maybe even my own parents, was burning leaves and brush and vines in the fall and I rode through the smoke on my bike. My whole body, including my inside...

Real old school plumbers had a trick of using very fine cotton string in their tool kit. For poorly made threads on pipe, they wrapped the string in the threaded groove on the male side and then used a very, very light application of pipe dope over the string. They made up the connection good...

I get and agree with your point but the plumber friend needs to eliminate callbacks and have no leaks. The quality of the threads and thickness of the brass on many threaded fittings and valves makes it a bit edgy to tighten up on threaded joints the way you might have 20 years ago, before all...

I have a N/A 2014 Flex SEL FWD with all the trimmings and I love it as a daily ride. Mine has about 87k miles on it. I bought it with 68k miles and knew it had spent its entire life in the dry, salt and ice free Arizona climate. It must have been garaged or kept out of the sun because the paint...

These MRE’s have been stored in my dry, basement on a shelf, mid 50’s in winter and maybe it reached up to 70ish in the summer during a heat wave for a day or two every year. I discovered some videos on U-tube about These and they have raised my curiosity. The outer bag is certainly sturdy and...

We were cleaning out our basement and came across a box of military MRE’s. They were given to my son back in ~2004 by a leader in the Civil Air Patrol squadron that he belonged to. Then they were put away and forgotten. The box had a selection of the various offerings. See picture. What...

Overthinking! I see you have spent some time in a diner with my wife looking at an 8 page menu, her trying to decide what to order. Usually it ends up with her asking the server girl/kid which of two items is better and then the kid says she’s a vegan and doesn’t eat meat and the process...

Looks great! Personally I’d go to the next larger size. It needs to be readily accessible so you can take it down at sundown, or lit at night.

I can sometimes relate to this with the window

I always wanted a pet skunk as a kid and I still would take one in today as a pet. Skunk could sit with me in the garage pondering my next project but nobody else there would be my preference.

This describes my situation sometimes. Anyone else do this?

Not always clearly given, I had an old leaky wooden boat for a bit and I named it the “HMS Incontenance” both he’s and she’s leak a bit when they get old. My wife never forgave me!

“Statue” of limitations will be soon be enacted (erected?) on this thread. 😉

‘Let me ax you a question” is the one that make my ears hurt.
