foil wrapped around the foot seems to be the fix. Thanks for the suggestions!

I have a cheap whirlpool oven. The bottom heating element has an aluminum foot in 2 places that rests on the floor of the oven. When the oven is heating up the foot moves on the floor of the oven and squeaks. I know this is the source of the squeak because I put a quarter under the foot and...

I moved and will be storing a riding mower outside at a relative's house. I am going to drain the tank, run it out of gas and cover it the best I can. Is there any benefit to use the fogger stuff that outboard engines would use when you store them? What do I do with the battery? nothing and...

The grass came back nice and green in a couple of weeks. But, the grass is now mad at me and it lets clover and dandelion grow in it as a punishment for what I did.

I went with JB wield washers and a piece of sheet metal! This idea may be just crazy enough to work!

after looking at it some more, I feel like I can rotate the engine a 1/8 to 1/4 of a turn and drill new holes in the deck. The self propelled function works off of a pulley and a belt so it should line up no matter the engine orientation.

2 of the 3 bolts that attach the engine to the mower deck ripped out of the mower deck of my self propelled push mower. What is the fix for this? I don't have access to a welder.

So, for no real reason I want to bury some time capsules with my kids to be recovered 30 to 50 years in the future probably after I am gone. My plan is to use a PVC pipe with glued caps on the ends. I am planning on burying it 4 or 5 feet deep with a post hole digger. I am thinking about putting...

I sealed my crawl space to fix a moisture problem. The sump is covered with plastic and taped tight. My ac drains into it and my dehumidifier, both taped tight. No bugs, no smells and no mold!

I unhooked the hose and blew through it. There was initially some resistance then it cleared. Hopefully that fixes it, but we will see. I may have left the hose too long. The end of the hose is under the water level of my sump pump. The gravity feed hose connection is pretty high on the...

I have a regular house dehumidifier in my crawl space and it takes care of business perfectly. I have it draining into my sump pump via a plastic hose that comes out of the back of it. It's currently not draining through the hose. It has a small tank on it that looks like a drawer on the...

20 minutes on the lawn??? got it!

I bought an OEM Husqvarna grommet and it has held up for a month. The generic ones I bought shrank, got hard and would leak. OEM part saved the day.

yep, next time I'm only leaving it on the grass for 2 hours, not 4 hours!
