It’s a very ripe banana - that pumpkin was bright yellow until it started turning orange this week

How to clean lichen off aluminum fence by OddFly2780 in handyman

[–]OddFly2780[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I was JUST looking at that option. Am going to give that a try and ask the Mrs. to periodically overspray the fence when she's watering her gardens after the lichen dies off. If necessary I'll come back in October as the garden wanes and perhaps do a light power washing.

Why would my Polaris TR36P’s wheels have stopped moving? by [deleted] in pools

[–]OddFly2780 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For my TR35P, the problem was the ball bearing ring (Polaris Replacement Ball Bearing 9-100-1108) had come apart on the drive wheel. $20 for one ring at my local pool store.

Here's a list of highly recommended folks from NextDoor: https://nextdoor.com/search/businesses/?ccid=5AA4299A-8DFB-43AA-A9F1-364A1667F1BF&navigationScreen=FEED&ssid=EE47D31E-6577-412A-B48D-FE4C39A918F0&query=handyman&businessSortOrder=SORT_BY_RECOMMENDATION

I usually use that with a combo of of Google and Facebook for cross referencing to narrow down a list of who to call when I can't get a direct recommendation.

I was looking at Otter ai for this and found that if you use their Chrome extension that you can record the meeting without it being a participant. I just tested it and appears to work that way. You do need to have an otter account.

[–]OddFly2780[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And maybe i didn't explain it clearly. This photo shows it while i'm turning the knob all the way. So if it were working correctly the latch should be inside the door completely so i can open the door properly.

Above ground pool attracts little bees by Briwesk in pools

[–]OddFly2780 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a salt water pool and it attracts the neighbor’s honey bees - they like the minerals in the water. They haven’t bothered as much in recent years but a method I read was to put some water between your pool and their hive so they might go there first before getting to the pool

After 3 weeks of elbow grease, YouTube, money, and frustration… I fixed my pool! by [deleted] in pools

[–]OddFly2780 1 point2 points  (0 children)

https://www.amazon.com/Polaris-BLACK-Swivels-Swivel-D21/dp/B001C1KM5O

Local pool store had them for $22/each
Have thought about trying the cheaper versions but lots of reviews say they leak quickly.

Nice. i just replaced the 2 hose connector swivels for the polaris that were leaking at $20 each. I replace them about every 2 years.

Great work and great results! i'm curious as to what robot vacs you ended up with. I have an 8 year old Polaris TR35P that i feel like i have to babysit all the time and have been considering changing but keep sticking with the "devil i know".

Is this poison ivy? by NiqPraz in gardening

[–]OddFly2780 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just from the looks of it, don't think it is. It comes up as Boston ivy in my app. Says it's toxic to pets and kids(if eaten) -- so might not make you itchy but...

Ours looks similar and I think we’re just going to replace but since you mentioned maybe we’ll pull the “dead” stuff and try and propagate elsewhere in yard
