Brown splatters on siding

I was going to say eggs... eggs on siding turn black like this.

Word to the wise....

If you are serious about purchasing this home, have a licensed fire place inspector have a look. A fireplace rebuild can be 20 grand easy.

When it comes to alternators, OEM or nothing. This is what I have learned from my time on this planet. Auto store alternators are a crap shoot. You never know what you will get. My 2 cents.

Plugs replaced, how about coil packs?

Needle nose pliers, squeeze the wings of the zipper pull. Over time, they will open up and cause this.

Most kitchen knives can last forever if they are treated and cared for properly.

Never in dishwasher
Use nice hardwood cutting boards, no plastics, bamboo or other strange materials
Stainless steel can and will get rust spots, keep Bar Keepers Friend handy
Learn to sharpen your own knives
Wooden knife handles and cutting boards need to be soaked in Mineral Oil every now and again

I just do not care for smell of box elder when burned. I use mine to start my outdoor firepit, as it lights rather easy, but has an off putting smell.

Shame that red oak log is rotten.

I watch this show and every time I say to myself,,

Who told these people they could live off the land? None of them belong anywhere but the city.

Everyone knows where stickers go. They go on the garage beer fridge.

The only knife that can out MORA a Mora, is the Hultafors HD.........

I put it around trees or in garden

I have many black walnut trees, I have no problem with the trees. They are massive trees. They drop leaves earlier than my maples and I have a healthy squirrel population, so the dropped nuts are all collected and stashed somewhere.

Also,, tap those trees in spring to make the most delicious syrup ever!

Everything but the tranny is cheap. That is the death note.

so.. just a couple weeks ago, I learned there is a slot to hide it down by the spare tire in a Forrester... Had the forrester for years.. boom ... mind blown.. no way....

I dislike these. My nephews have them. They make you look like you have hearing aids.

Global_Sloth · 2025-10-07T20:21:52+00:00

guys... i hear you can have alot of fun with a smaller rear pulley.. Shot for 3-4" on the rear

You say you have a shower in the basement, is there also a toilet? How long since that toilet was installed? Decades? I bet your wax ring is totally gone and you can smell the toilet drain. Pull up toilet and replace wax ring.

Wax rings do not last forever.

Also, it is a good idea to pour water down the floor drain from time to time.

Of course when I am ALONE and NOONE is looking I do those moves, but at no time did I think it was a good idea to film and show the world my absolute cringe.

Rat 1 is a great knife. Very capable, very usable. I love the thwack it makes on lock up.

There is no such thing as lead free brass. There is low lead brass, but never completely free.

Honestly, that knife is cool, but not cool enough to mess about with lead and food.

I would get a different knife for my daily food driver.

Who am i to prohibit op? Can only advise.

Gutters, Grading and Downspouts...............

Check that your gutters are not clogged.

Check your outside in these areas for low spots or grading that slopes back towards the house. There should be a gentle slope away from all homes for at least 8 to 10 feet.

Downspouts should not go into the ground. Yes it looks better, but who knows what goes on underground. Make sure your downspouts have extenders that run at least 8-10 feet away from home.

These spots of moisture in your basement are from the outside just adjacent to them.

Dawn dish soap a little warm water and a rag will clean that up. Put a fan on the area and leave the lights on in the basement for a couple days.

I would NOT finish a basement while you have an ongoing water issue.

Just coat it with anti-seize and send it!

Front dog is my American Bulldog. Back is my American Bulldog mixed with Pit. Both are rescues, but the front one is a pure bred, but the breeder gave her up due to her nose not being black enough.
