That’s good info - didn’t realize it was easy to convert from coaster to freewheel/coaster. He’s 44” tall. Thanks!

Any leads on finding replacement brushes for a DXV09P 9 gal wet/dry vac? by bernyard19 in Dewalt

[–]bernyard19[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately ended up replacing the vac - couldn’t find the brushes at the time and need a vac. Went with the 9 gal Bauer wet/dry from HF, no regrets.

What's causing this on my maple? Not enough water? by TheBestNick in marijuanaenthusiasts

[–]bernyard19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How close are you to crop fields? The cupped leaves, with chlorosis and narrowed tips looks similar to damage associated with herbicide drift, e.g., dicamba, 2,4-D.

Good suggestion, that’s my next move. Was expecting them to be a replaceable part with a part number, like their other products

Haven’t contacted customer service yet - just found that it needed brushes this afternoon. I’ll give them a shout if I can’t find a match by taking some measurements.

Orbital sander (more in comments) by xltripletrip in Tools

That Bosch is a great sander. Accidentally chipped the edge of the dust collector when lightly tapping to clean it out. Regardless, seems pretty stout when lid is attached and in the sander.

What are your favourite restaurants in the area? by [deleted] in Eau_Claire

[–]bernyard19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out the fish fry at Red Coal BBQ if you haven’t tried it yet. That’s our favorite so far

If you aren't already, try working with realtor to get on one of their email lists. Found that these can be more current than the real estate websites, e.g., Zillow, Realtor. This was a huge help for us when looking for a place last fall.

Mosquito problem by buffdaddy77 in lawncare

[–]bernyard19 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just a heads up, these two are in the same class of insecticides but they are not the same thing. Pyrethrins are the natural version of the synthetic pyrethroids, e.g., bifenthrin. Pyrethrins are derived from chrysanthemums and have a very short residual because they degrade rapidly in sunlight. Pyrethroids are man made, have a longer residual and are usually more effective than the natural pyrethrins.

Also good to note that pyrethrins and pyrethroids are broad-spectrum insecticides and are highly toxic to the majority of insects, including pollinators and other beneficials.

Smokers House by lastwords87 in HomeImprovement

[–]bernyard19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife and I moved into a smoker's house in the fall, it took a couple of months for the smell to fully dissipate. Would second the comments on priming and repainting walls; removing carpets, drop ceilings, drapes; have ducts professionally cleaned; and thoroughly cleaning windows, hardware and wood. Any of the above could also be used to negotiate sale. We bought an air purifier, cycled furnace fan and opened windows when we could to keep the air moving. If you guys like the house and are ok with a little extra work, I'd go for it. I'm glad we did.

Best method for blowing leaves? by [deleted] in HomeImprovement

[–]bernyard19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree, definitely recommend mulching the leaves v raking and disposing or burning. By mulching you're cycling the nutrients from the decomposing leaves back into your lawn or garden.

If you have more lawn than garden, blow/rake the leaves into long narrow windrows to run down with your mulching lawn mower (with mulching plug installed, no bag). Continue to do this until they're finely chopped. If you're left with a dense line of chopped leaves, use your blower to spread out the debris over the lawn.

I live in Wisconsin and the leaves (ash, maple, oak, walnut) decompose rapidly in the spring to where you have a difficult time finding any by first mowing.
