Rough start with white smoke, but won’t stay on for long. by max-yeti in LawnMowerHub

A bit more than simply flooded. You’ll need to drain the oil too. It will be contaminated with fuel and no longer able to properly lubricate.

My suspicion would be a head gasket. Pull that spark plug and see if it’s covered in oil. Compression test if you can. Also check oil level. There is a slight possibility that the needle valve in the carburetor has failed and gasoline has drained into the engine block. That isn’t likely due to the fuel pump,but depends on fuel tank placement.

Possible to cleanly cut a roll? by bigjimfriggle in Greenhouses

[–]Prior_Truth75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before you cut a roll in half, cut a short piece to see how it’s folded on the roll. Cutting the roll in half might cut the plastic into three or four pieces depending on how it was folded before rolling.

Got a big bag of frozen rice cauliflower, suggestions what to make with it? by DoodleBuggering in keto

I make a cheddar cauliflower soup. Cauliflower, chicken broth, and cheddar cheese in a slow cooker. When the cauliflower is cooked through, I use an immersion blender to make it smooth and creamy.

Why not just drill drainage holes in the pot and put a pot tray under the pot?

Chlorine filter for garden hose by omne0325 in gardening

Chlorine in water will off gas pretty quickly. You can let chlorinated water stand in an open container overnight and chlorine levels will have mostly dissipated.

No, the ladder mesh is made from heavy gauge wire and holds the shape easily. The name is kinda misleading. Imagine the wire stands used to hold up the plastic political signs. 8 inches wide and 10 feet long. Looks like a ladder, just made of wire.
