From gardening to energy, permaculture to DIY, I'm on a journey to turn our house into a homestead and living out the ideals of rugged individualism. So join me on my quest for sustainable self-reliance!

I basically took All the cables out of the back. But the primary one is the Ethernet cable. It's the one that connects to your router and may be labeled LAN, maybe WAN too. Just leave them out for a bit then plug it all back in. That has cleared up my problem several times and numerous others have said it helped them as well. Good luck!
My grass clippers worked wonderfully but the pin came out of the head of the grass clippers and have not been able to use it since. Any idea how to fix that problem?
Hi, sorry for the delay in responding. I looked at my clipper head and didn't notice any pin on the clipper head. Are you referring to the small metal rod in the handle that the different heads attach to?
the point I think many are missing is the glue is simply a vehicle to hold the canvas on to the plywood with bonus of canvas providing strength. it's the layers of paint that that provides the water proofing .. I'm going to do a horse box camper conversion... one layer of glue, many coats of paint. its not new gimmick.. great video thanks
Looks like it was exposed to the elements that's why it didn't last long. But maybe if you stored it inside a box and placed it inside your garage or house, it would've last longer.
Very nice set-up you have there. When the SHTF, folks like you will have what they need to live comfortably. The rest will be killing each other for $50 one liter bottles of water. All the best!
I've never tried so I just did an online search and I didn't find any indication it will help. Have you tried vinegar and water mixed at about a 4:1 ratio? I've had pretty good success with that but it's not a permanent solution. The weeds eventually come back. One method I like (but only because fire is fun) is using a propane torch. Not one of those small canisters but the hose you attach to a 20-lb can. Since its a gravel drive it should be a simple matter and because it's such a large area you need to do might be the most time effective. I'll say the weeds come back from that too but they seem to stay dead a bit longer. Sadly, Roundup and similar products are the most effective solution.
lol it can be so frustrating. I'm guessing you are talking about the inlet and outlet hoses into the filter. To be honest, I haven't touched them since I installed it 10 years ago however IIRC, you push in the outer ring where the tube goes in and then pull on the hose. At the 2:45 mark in the video you can see the connection. The part right where the tube enters into the tube I believe you push that in. As I said, it's been a long time since I've done it. Good luck!
FWIW I just looked for the manual for the unit online and Whirlpool's manual doesn't even show the hose connections. It shows it hardwired to the house plumbing with outdoor hose bibb connections. If I come across my manual and it shows how I'll post it here, but I do believe my original instructions are correct or at least close to what you have to do
Found the instructions! A little worse for the wear but it is as I said. You push in the outer ring, the collet, and while pushing it in, you pull out the hose. That releases the tubing. Hope that helps.
It will take successive sprayings. This is an ongoing battle I have every year with my grapes. It seems if I delay spraying them for even a little I see bunches of grapes start developing black rot. I even considered just digging up my vines this year (I didn't). I think spraying every two weeks, especially after a rain can help save them. This is definitely not a once and done.
@@JohnCausey-pe2gw I just checked the Harbor Freight website. They offer the blades as a replacement part though it says call for pricing. I see Amazon sells blades that look pretty similar for about $10 or so.
I bought this from Vevor works really well cleaning my pond also bought one they had that can throw in the pond and pull out with mower or ATv to get the mess on the bottom. Worth every penny for what I am using it for. Also nice homestead and TY for sharing your review.
Regular 15 amp breaker. Also, if you watch the video I show to to change or replace the blades. Well worth watching because there are some unique points about the blades.
I’m getting another set this week. I cracked a spot when I almost drove over the edge. I think they would have been fine but I figured for $60 it wasn’t worth risking my life
It might be better but I didn't bother. If you have a lot of potato plants it becomes impractical to do that. If you have just a couple though it couldn't hurt
I inherited this stove from the person I bought my house from. All the screws inside the stove look really rusty. The 2 screws that hold the igniter in place were seized, I ended up breaking the head off both screws. I took the gas/flame tube out, I think I'm going to drill out the remaining piece of both igniter screws, and replace with a screw/nut combo from the hardware store.
I guess you can just buy everything instead of trying to do things yourself. Some people have more time than money available to them...hence the name, poor man's fiberglass
