Hi Benjamin. You’re welcome. I'm not sure if this will work on that type of plastic. But if you are considering buying a new one anyway . . . this would be worth a shot. Let me know if it works.

@rickstid-bits it's just the corner. Where the top screw goes in. Should be fine. Not alot of pressure on it when it's screwed in. And YES I'll let ya know. Thanks for the tips.
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.

Hello Hello. I agree. I used to do that when I had mulch. But after I changed it to rocks - I hit and threw a few too many rocks and had to come up with something different.

Totally agree! Ive used mulch many times of last 15 years...then my giant Oak tree drops hundreds of lbs literally ..of nuts onto the mulch area and then weeds grow on top of the mulch :(..... So for next season Im going to purchase river rocks to cover my garden in front of the house.. Your garden looks great BTW !

Brilliant presentation. Like you, I appreciate (and need) the details and answers to the “why” questions. My son in law is experiencing identical issues on his 2006 4Runner. I’m hoping the back seat access hole is larger than on the 2005 but dropping the tank isn’t a show stopper for us. Again, thanks!

Hi John, I'm sorry. I don't. I haven't had that issue. The National Association of watch and clock collectors has a forum. You could ask for help there. Rick
He had a problem with birds making nests in the dryer vent and stove vents. I went to Dollar Tree and bought a roll of blue garbage bags and some push pins. I tacked 4 bags on the wooden fence near the fence near the vents. The freakin bags work!!! And because the bags are near the AC, the bags move around a lot and the birds stay away!! Your idea is truly freakin awesome!!! Thanks!!😂😂🎉❤👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

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.

Thank You for this video!!! I have a SQ and have been dealing with this for years! It doesn’t matter how little of detergent I use. It foams up and drives me crazy. I’ll definitely be trying this method! Thank You again!

You can go dumpster diving for old carpet to use as weed block. The soft carpet side faces down and the carpet canvas is on the top side. Spread the rocks on top of the carpet, and you will not have weeds.
thanks so much for the video, im gonna dare to do my own landcaping; wish me luck. PS- i think i have that same kind of flower bush, mine sprouted this spring and now its summer and its dead. idk why or how to fix it. Help!
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

Thank you for this sir. I love my 23 Palisade, but man I almost sold it cause the stop/start engine feature was driving me crazy, specially here in Vegas where in the summer is easily 110+ and the AC also turns off with this feature. Thank you.

Well cause then you would have to spend months of break down time and thousands of dollars on new parts. Probably for the same reason you go to a dealer with the idea of the exact car you want and they "can't find it" on the lot and try to sell you something else. 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.

Hello. This is the fabric I used. I did not research or purposely get this brand. This is what our local landscape supply company had. The extremely important point is to use a top quality fabric: Something you buy at a landscape supply store. Don’t get it from a hardware store. www.dewittcompany.com/product/dewitt-contractors-select-plus-landscape-fabric-grey/ Thank you for leaving a comment.

Hello. I didn't have to remove the blower motor to do the repair. The resistor module will unscrew from that area and you can work on it from there. Rick
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.
Hello. I'm with you! I spread 4 old bed sheets on the ground all the way around a plant first. That catches a lot of the clippings. I carefully fold the sheets inward, dump the clippings in my trailer, and then put the sheets down around the next plant. Thank you for leaving a comment.

@@rickstid-bits I call that a form of 'preventive' maintenance. Doing something 1 time, in just the right way, in the hope of eliminating more frequent maintenance.
