Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
did the serpentine belt on my 09 FXT on Saturday (after it exploded on the freeway) - maybe 30 minute job?
Worked with my 11yo daughter to make a three tap kegerator for my homebrewbeer and soda. First time she had used a drill.
Crisp rye ale in mine. Putins Bare Chested stout and some root beer planned for the other taps.nice project - I've got sockeye galena gold in my kegerator right now
do you just get the 1/6th barrels?
those don't last very long around the BH (frat) house
I went with 5g Corny Kegs. I'm the only beer drinker in the house, and drink very little for a brewer. I figure a keg should last a couple of months.
when my nephew was in town we (this includes the entire neighborhood "team") went through two 1/2 bbls of payette flyline in a month
So dishwashers were on sale with $200 off, and ours had rusty baskets. So I told DW we should replace it.
I've done it 2x before in other houses, so I was confident - (first mistake).
I had it delivered on Sat, and Sunday I took out the old one. Had to cut the copper water pipe as even after undoing it and yanking on it hard it refused to come out. - (second mistake)
Bring the new one in and it's a bit taller, so make it lower height setting.
Realize I should buy a flexible water pipe, the braided steel ones, so I get one with the flood guard.
When I removed the old copper pipe in the basement, the nut broke in 2 as hard water deposits covered the threads and must have split the nut.
I soaked the connection in vinegar to dissolve the hard water deposits while we went out for lunch.
Biggest problem was attaching the elbow connector to the plastic dishwasher inlet, the first connector must have had a different threading or I somehow put it on at an angle and ruined the plastic threads.
It leaked ...
I finally solved it (I hope) by attaching a plastic garden hose connector to the water input and it fit much better as its twice as long to screw on than the elbow, then I attached the elbow to my garden hose connector.
I'm really hoping the garden hose connector can withstand hot water. I'm keeping the front bottom off for a few days to watch for leaks.
A 2 hour job if I went slow, turned into a 2 day chore spread over the waiting, shopping, and normal life activities.
We replaced our dishwasher with a new one made by the same manufacturer. It was a wired in unit, and the installer said I needed to get an electrician to unhook the old one before he could remove it and install the new one. I looked at him and said, "I am an electrician"
So I turned off the breaker, and unhooked the 3 wires from the old unit.
They then installed the new unit, I hooked up the 3 wires and were good to go.

Lucky for you he didn't say a plumber had to hook up the water
...
At least he didn't try to tell me an electrician had to plug it in....
New rules allow exhibitors to plug in their own devices,
Other Recent Charges
Additional money saving rules adopted by the MPEA facilities (Navy Pier & McCormick) include:
• Work done between 6am and 8am Monday through Friday (except holidays) will now be billed at straight-time rates rather than over-time or double-time rates.
• Show organizers may tape seminars or speeches on their own. Until now, they were required to pay for a union electrician to be present, even if they did no more than occasionally flip over an audio tape.
I had to repair a beach chaise lounger as the webbing had been cut. I also had to power wash away the dried blood, too.

I just replaced the faucet on the wash tub in the utility room.
This faucet is original with the home, so is 32-year old. It started to drip a few months ago, and I replaced the washers. Lasted a week! I have had it, so drove to Home Depot to get a lowest priced Pfister faucet that I could find.
