One of my gifts from God is: He gave me good troubleshooting skills. I am able to fix things and find solutions to problems and issues that I face. I post videos here to help others. I don't do fancy editing. Most of my videos are very basic. I just want to get the information posted, so others can see it, with the hope that it helps you too.

Excellent video! So glad i found this. We just bought a 2010 Fusion 4 months ago. And we were having the same intermittent issues with the blower motor, finally it just quit and filled the car with an electrical burning smell. We knew something about connection was bad. Ended up being the exact same issue. Thanks to your thorough explanations of everything, we can replace and repair ourselves. This was so helpful and saved us hours of troubleshooting.

This feature is not reflected in the stated EPA figures for the vehicles. If you were in the city and stopped for a longer time it might make a difference of 10 percent according to some private test. That said, it is annoying and very hard on the vehicle to keep doing this. I can not imagine shutting down the air conditioner for a couple of minutes waiting for a light to change.

Hi Patty. Thank you for the kind words. These are Encore Azaleas. The tag reads: Rhododendrum’s, “Autumn Bravo.” The tag also says: Azalea, X, Conlen. You should see them when they are in full bloom. The entire bush is completely covered in those flowers. The encore azaleas will bloom a second time if the conditions are right. That is why they are named encore. I don't know how tall they would get. I keep them at that height. Thank you for leaving a comment. Please click on the words “Rick’s Tid-Bits” underneath the video to go to my RU-vid channel.

I hated doing this but I had 1/3 acre under landscaping and it was just too much. I am a cook so have a ton of compost that I've added over 25 years creating incredible soil. Many are unaware that a lot of much contains bad chemicals or are painted and the cost has exploded ($2,500 / yr). I returned some areas to "grass" but much of it got the rock treatment (smaller rocks). The yard guy even put down black plastic underneath and left room on top for water. Everyone comments on how great it looks. I love it. I had to do it one time, it looks great but there is a drawback. It does not keep the ground as cool as mulch which is why it is great for trees and shrubs. Now I have containers around the pool, several raised beds and an herb garden to "play" with.

like others on this channel i discovered similar issues with an older (11 years to be exact) speed queeen comercial washer. let me first state ,this has been a wonderful machine with absolutely no problems except the foaming. am not sure how long foaming has occured,but do know that it is consistent since i discovered it by accident a couple of months ago. have since tried some of the solutions posted here with inconsistent results. have tried other things and found a solution that is working 100% of the time,approx. 20 loads sofar. the machine pumps water(and air ) at the end of the rinse cycle so fast, that ,is in my opinion causes the foaming. the solution for me,(my entire rince cycle on permanent press or regular cycle is approx. 14 minutes ), is to shut off the rinse cycle at approx. 11 minutes into the cycle,wait 15 minutes ,then turn machine back on to finish cycle. NO FOAM OR WATER also, the 14 minutes is from when the tub starts to fill with water. good luck

Mulch keeps the soil underneath it cool, while rock does the opposite, because rock absorbs heats and radiates it. But if it works for you just do it.

Anything associated with cars just can't be flat out honest. It's all got to be a trick.

Firstly, thanks so much for posting this video. I had the same issues with the speed queen we had in a house we recently purchased and if nothing else this feels like a support group. While I tried all of the recommendations and had little success I wanted to share that I did have success using 7th Generation detergent and fabric softener. I added the softener to the dispenser before running a load. Just up to the first line. And add a few ounces of the detergent to the running water after mostly full. All on the normal/eco cycle. Three cycles so far and no suds. Might just be that 7th generation doesn’t make as many suds? Regardless of why, it has worked for me if you want to give it a shot.

The problem with mulch is when you trim hedges, you have to hand pick your cuttings or leave them to decompose. Same problem exists with light weight stone. You can blow or vac them. So I went with a heavier stone. Now I can blow the cuttings into a pile without disturbing my stones.
