Was hoping someone on the forum has a proven, readily available solution to getting rid of fleas inside the house. We've been in our home for the last eight years and have never had an issue with fleas. This year they have hit with a vengeance. Our dogs are old and we don't want to use any type...

We have a 2021 Ford Edge SEL AWD. I'll be under it in a couple hundred miles to do an oil change and thought I might as well do a PTU drain and fill while I've got access to it. My question is what weight gear oil goes back in? I look up my vehicle on the Amsoil website and it shows 75W-90, but...

We have a new car just a few months old. The first thing I did was clay and wax with a good synthetic wax. The few times it has been washed I followed up with TW Seal & Shine. The paint is in excellent condition. It is garaged and has no water spots or paint swirls. I wasn't aware of Griots 3 in...

The gas powered lawn mower my dad left me when he passed away has finally given up the ghost. It was your basic, non-bagging lawn mower, that was light enough to push and pull easily. Our yard is extremely sloped, a common occurrence here in the mountains, and that lawn mower helped to reduce...

The wife and I have just now started looking at what will be a replacement for our 2014 Nissan Frontier. There is no hurry, especially right now, but we decided to start before the need arises. Started this thread to hopefully get some feedback on the engines in the vehicles we've looked at so...

I've got a Giant Hybrid road bike . It's got a bad tube and I need to replace it. The tire size is 28" X 1 5/8" X 1 1/2" 700 X 38C. I can't find a tube on Amazon with these specs. I've found 700 x 35mm to 42mm tubes but it doesn't mention diameter. I'm prepping this bike to sell since the...

My Canon inkjet printer that was nine years old gave up the ghost last week. It was easy to get my HP laptop connected to it when I converted my laptop to Mint. I assumed that since I was replacing it with another Canon (I got a laser printer) it would not be a problem. Mint can't identify and...

As mentioned earlier in another thread, our small mountain community is FINALLY getting fiber installed by our electric co-op. I will finally be able to get rid of our dreadful DSL. I just found out yesterday that homeowners will have to provide their own routers. I've read the threads that have...

Talking with my son yesterday he mentioned he needed to replace the brakes and rotors on his 2014 Corolla which is his in town DD. I got to thinking since his birthday is coming up soon that I would buy the pads and rotors and do it for him. I priced some pads and rotors at the Advanced Auto in...

When my dad passed away 5 years ago, he left me a JC Higgens Model 60 semi auto shotgun. It was gifted to my dad back in 1954 by the owner of the business he worked for. This model was only produced between 1953 and 1956. It's in really great condition. No rust. Stock is still in pristine...

I just did a complete coolant flush on our Frontier. Everything went well after I got all the air out of the system. After draining my last flush with distilled water I refilled with a 50/50 mix of Presrone All Vehicle anti freeze. My question: I filled the radiator up with anti-freeze. I...

As the title implies, my wife and I agreed it was time to sell one of our vehicles since we are both retired and we basically go everywhere together anyway. The Frontier had less miles and still looks like it came off the showroom floor. Both of our vehicles were well-cared for, maintenance wise...

It's past time for me and Mrs. Sierra048 to get some new cell phones. I've already narrowed down the phone we are getting with the help of my son. My question concerns "unlocked" phones. Up until the other day I had never heard of an "unlocked" phone. I've been a Verizon customer for the past 21...

Me and Ms. Sierra live up in the mountains. As you approach our home you have to navigate two, rather steep asphalted sections of road. Each section is approximately 600' in length. It's not an issue when it's dry but when it's wet we sometimes have a tough time going up these two sections...

So the me and the bride are kicking around the idea on getting a sightly larger pontoon boat to accommodate our growing family (basically the grandchildren). Plan on going from an 18' to a 21' with a larger engine. We live in a small town and have two dealers locally. I visited both to see what...

Have a few firearms I'm thinking of selling. Does anyone know of any online sites for posting firearms for sale? Thanks.

Thought I would resurrect this thread for a follow up after more than a month from my original post. I had originally planned to get this accomplished the first week of August. Unexpectedly my MIL became ill and not long after passed away. After dealing with all that's involved in that...

Just curious and would like for someone to help me understand what makes one of these oils a Dexos approved oil and the other unidentified grade oil not Dexos approved. I've read all of the information I could on BITOG and still don't understand. Are there other variables that are not listed...

My 2014 Sierra 1500 with the 6L80E transmission is pushing the 50K. I bought it new. It had a pretty gentle life until we moved to the mountains. It definitely gets a work out now. So, I've decided it might be a good time to drop the pan and change the filter. I would also like to flush the...

Two weeks ago this past Friday, my neighbor's wife's Chevrolet Sonic overheated on the way home from Asheville, NC. Saturday morning he asked me if I'd go help him replace a radiator hose that was spewing anti-freeze he had found when he went to get his wife. I said sure. So we headed up the...
