The SSLFamilyDad channel is dedicated to sharing our family's DIY journey to live sustainably by growing as much food as we can, as naturally as we can. We love to spend time together at home no matter the season and make God a part of our life in everything we do. As the SSL Family Dad, I enjoy projects around the home to improve quality of life, save energy, produce our own food, and finding ways to be more sustainable. I work with technology on a daily basis and am always learning the ins and outs of do-it-yourself home improvement and repair. RU-vid has been a huge resource for me and I am looking for ways to give back to the community and hopefully help others along the way. Thanks for visiting and feel free to post questions to any of our videos as we try to respond to all!
There most likely had a spa/hot tub on the deck. Four clues. The big brown thing in the corner most likely was a bubblier for the spa/hot tub. The pump looks as if it would be a two speed pump which is normal for a spa/hot tub. And the electric heater is just that; heating the water in he spa/hot tub. Three conditions concern me though. You have a horizontal high efficiency gas furnace in your sub basement yet I saw no air supply for the burners. That furnace only has one PVC pipe showing and that should be for the exhaust. You should trace that pipe to make sure it's open and not low enough to have snow or dirt block it. Second, on the electrical heater, I believe, the metal clad 240 volt power line has come apart and laying on the metal sheet metal duct. Should vibration penetrate those wire the duct work can become energized. That should be disconnected and blanked off properly. And the supply/return flexible tubing is run in PVC to the outside I would believe and those can be easy run ways for rodents to invade your home. They should be foam sprayed for sealing off them capped off with metal so rodents can not enter. Have the combustion fresh air for the furnace checked first. If not proper that can allow carbon monoxide in your home...and you should have at least two detectors in the living spaces of your home anyway.
Thank you for sharing your Soliom feeder! I just got mine as a gift about a week ago and I’m loving it. Squirrels can be a problem so we put it up on a pole and bought a cone to put underneath. So far so good!
My rooster Bigger Smalls recently lost his life defending the flock against a fox. He went out on his shield. He was a good bird. His son Simba took over the flock. Circle of life.
Much appreciation to @sslfamilydad for not only building a cat home for my favorite pets, ( cats ), but for NOT including *annoying* background music in this video ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
It's a GOOD thing that you can re-use those nuts. They go for an INSANE $18..a PIECE! I couldn't get mine off because MTD used the RED Loctite on the threads! I had to grind mine off with an angle grinder! Blew a $36 HOLE in my wallet INSTANTLY!!!
You can throw these on your vehicle using the coolant lines before the radiator with a 12v pump and it makes a pretty banging outdoor heated shower or hot tub filler. Just remember to put a bypass and a thermostatic mixing valve on there so you don’t burn the crap out do yourself! 😂
50 degree inlet water to 125 degree outlet water on a 30 plate at around 3 gallons per minute (above average shower flow). With a 60 plate you can pull 195 degree water out if you’re into that kind of thing! 😂
I have (2) Kobalt 80-volt 18" Bar Chainsaws and use (2) 5 AH Batteries. Using it on a Southeast LA farm that was devastated by a Hurricane and has been working absolutely great even cutting huge logs and trees. For oil, I like to use Ryobi Bar and chain oil. And NO more pulling and pulling to start a gas-powered chainsaw. My first 80-volt 18" Bar Chain saw with a 5-AH Battery and charger was $400 in Jul 2021. it is still being sold on Lowes website as of 5/26/2024 - I use them on a Southeast LA farm of 18 acres of tall large pine trees that was devastated by a Hurricane with a tornado 10 acres of the property nearly all the trees are down or dead. My chainsaws have been working great even cutting huge logs and trees up to 20"+ logs and it works great. I am also using the 80-volt 10” Pole saw, lawnmower, and Leaf Blower.
I need to get the anode rod mentioned here. I wanted to add an electric water softener as well, but I believe that might negatively affect the electric anode rod. Does anyone know anything about this?
I think one of the funniest things about roosters is when they "check in" with upset girls. We keep most of our chickens in an almost 1 acre orchard. We have a few gals that will escape to establish their own nest and hatch chicks. If one of these gals gets upset from us or the dog getting too close they will "bock" and the rooster will answer them. . . Each time she "bocks" the rooster will "bock" back.
It works! Thank you sir! But is it normal for my router wifi speed to be slower after connecting to AP? And the speed goes back to normal after I disconnect my ethernet cable. Is there anything I can do to keep the normal speed while connecting to the AP?
