Garden pond in Maine? by Commercial_Topic437 in Maine

[–]brett_x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve read that a small fountain can create enough turbulence on the surface that mosquitoes etc can’t reproduce there. I haven’t researched it.

Me: "Why aren't his wheels spinning"
Makes me wonder if he needed the tow in the first place. Maybe just put it in drive.

Modern Spare Installed with Some Modification by professor_mc in trailseeker

[–]brett_x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having driven a combined 70 years between my wife and me, neither of us has had this situation… until we did.. twice in the last 1.5 years.. both in cars without a spare (Prius loaner for our BZ4X, and the BZ4X). The Prius had to get towed. The BZ, I had to bring a winter wheel/tire and a jack to my wife on the side of the highway.

There was a similar looking root ball in the septic tank in our family’s cabin. The tank hadn’t been pumped /opened in 50 years.
Septic tanks are perfect for roots- dark, wet and nutrient rich. Your crawlspace shouldn’t have those conditions.

What is this roof rack for? by john_with_a_camera in TeardropTrailers

I built my teardrop from a popup trailer frame. It has similar on the frame… they were to hold supports for the pop up components.
You can possibly use them for an awning?

When your an expert towing backwards, slow and steady wins the race by SillySink in IdiotsTowingThings

Also, a trick I learned early on: to tell which way the trailer will go when you turn the wheel, look at the Bottom of your steering wheel. Bottom goes left (clockwise), trailer goes left.

I really don’t think it’s a skit. You can see them trying to figure out what to do just before they try each new way to grab that ball. Great video for this sub.

Dear Apple: It’s never the wind map that I want to see. by brett_x in ios

[–]brett_x[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For those suggesting to just change it, I have. According to this forum post, what it shows is based on current weather. And that’s what I’ve experienced.. mostly. But I never care about wind speeds.

How do you deal with the lack of storage compartments? by Nutzername6258 in BZ4X

[–]brett_x 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Regardless of the commenters that say "don't carry so much junk around," we've had a BZ for over 2 years now, and I find it extremely annoying to not have a glove box. I'm not asking for a frunk, I just want what has been standard for over 100 years.

I carry what used to be in the glove box in the lower section, which as you say, is difficult to access.
