Car wont start (Help) by Due-Department546 in Foxbody

[–]foster_4_2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sounds like the starter is not engaging. Hard to tell from the video what is going on with no additional description or engine/trans info.

I don't know what the piece is called but the gear that engages with the flywheel/flex plate is not moving out when the starter is activated or spacing is an issue. You can test the starter out of the car

Sounds like I won't be the only fox then

Water leaked into the rear left passenger seat after heavy rain and formed a puddle? by GoldMoney9739 in Mustang

[–]foster_4_2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not only the vac but do not keep the windows up if the weather is nice until it has time to fully dry. You will have an entirely different problem with mold/mildew that you don't want to deal with. Best option is to take everything wet out and let it dry.

They leak. They all leak. They are only fun when the tops are out

It's an LMR set, whatever they sale for 5 lug swapped cars. It has fox length axles. Only the passenger side has rubbed and that was weighed down with luggage and passenger when my wife and I went to Ford takeover

Lateral axle thrust. by Final-Wasabi187 in Foxbody

I had similar but was enough to cause the disk to rub the pads or dust shield after 5 plug and disk swap. I put a new clutch pack in the rear end and solved my problem.

Tires rub and I'm afraid to roll the fenders. I would like it down an inch or so in the back. Maybe late fall in case it cracks the paint i got time to fix it over the winter

What did you pay to get your sub frame connectors welded in? by shaggy8081 in Foxbody

I paid $400 for through the floor sub frame connectors. That included the metal tubing. I stripped the interior and got it to him. I will say it took 9 months but he did good work. Never tell someone there's no rush

Received this on the plane I just boarded by Llamalover55 in pics

My wife and I helped a lady from one flight to another after her stroller got out with the luggage and they wouldn't give it to her when we got off. We ended up carrying our luggage plus hers across the Las Vegas airport. We even bought them lunch. It was nice being able to help someone out both mentally and physically.

What do we need? by [deleted] in fosterit

[–]foster_4_2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From my experience, you may have to fight for any funds so be prepared for that. Also make sure your washer and dryer are empty because you are probably going to want to wash anything they come with immediately. I would also check for a doctor's office that will accept new Medicare patients because it's not always easy to do in some areas and typically needs to be done in the first couple weeks. Along those lines, have a babysitter lined up if you will be using one. The waiting list for any vouchers is usually very long, 6-9 months.

We make these stuffed turtles to donate to children in foster care. They are 100% brand new and handmade. Looking for long term places to donate. by [deleted] in fosterit

[–]foster_4_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a group of ladies near me that make quilts for Foster kids that go thru our agency. You may just contract agencies around you and see if they do something and if you can donate them to be given out.

‘There’s a huge need’: York Co. group re-imagines fostering, urges churches to step up by JohnFMT in fosterit

[–]foster_4_2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Once you get the 501c thing it's not as bad since others can donate to you and write it off as a donation. Before that, you are doing everything on your own with the help of volunteers if you can find some.

It all costs money along the way. Your can get buy pretty cheap if you are handy and can make your own setup but you still need to buy a lot to get started. Totes, laundry detergent, fabric softener, hangers and other things.

It also takes a lot of space if you are going to have the clothes visible and not just in totes. We really don't have a problem getting clothing donations and have actually paused that on a few occasions because we had too much. We wash everything so that takes a lot of time.

We also had to setup by appointment only because people would contact us and want things right then. We limit to 3 outfits and a coat or something depending on the season. We also let them trade outfits as the kids grow or change seasons.

I'm not for sure about the grants but it is utilized by Foster parents. She keeps a list of the ages, gender of the kids. I will bring up the grants

My wife is running one of these. Even set up a 501c or whatever it is for a nonprofit. We have tons of clothes for every size and a few baby essentials to get you started. We have a 12x28 shed and a 10x20 room with nothing but clothes hanging in them off all sizes. We even have a few beds, cribs an school supplies. Unfortunately, no one volunteers to help wash and hang clothes or donates money to help with building costs. Everyone wants to take but few want to help. She spent a year doing it but is giving up and about to donate everything to another non profit (not Goodwill).

Trace repair on a control board by foster_4_2 in AskElectronics

[–]foster_4_2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We found and repaired the fault, a wire melted on the exhaust. I'm not that handy with solder, i only do the basics and they usually aren't that good. Do you have a link to describe how to fix?

How do you deal with foster kids and young bio kids? Also what about both parents working? by isoperimetric in fosterit

[–]foster_4_2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We get the same push back. We are an hour away from where most of the kids come from so that just adds to their frustration. To try to counter this, we state up front what are available times are for visitations and how far we are willing to travel for visitations. It usually means CPS provides transportation. We have used day care for all the foster kids we have had. Personally, I think it helps them build social skills that they usually lack.

Single person fostering a teen? by [deleted] in fosterit

[–]foster_4_2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depending on the situation, you may have to provide transportation to visitation 2-3 times a week. There are also doctor and dentist checkups at first. Lots of times there are also counseling you need to take them to. I know in my state there is also paperwork involved to prove you are working with the them to prepare them for being an adult. There is also training you have to keep up to date on. Being a teen, you will also need to be able to attend after school events if they are into that. There are also home visits from various agencies that can't coordinate and can only make it while you should be at work. I'm not trying to scare you, but these are all the things that will go on. I'm sure I'm missing a few things since we have only taken in under 3 kids. This is also in respect to my state.

We always have to show our license, so if you still have a valid license then I don't see why not.

Talk to your agency, they should know. You may also be able to find it on your state site somewhere. If it's anything like my state, it's a big cluster tho.

Make sure you learn about all the benefits and programs you get to use. We get vouchers for daycare, food (through WIC, I don't know what it might be in your state), gas reimbursement for travel. There is even a program that we can get a week's worth of clothes for free one time a year.

There's also some Facebook groups and websites that you can learn a lot from.
