    America this week, what the hell?

    And the headline: "Trump overwhelmingly leads rivals in support from less educated Americans” I would say PBS is doing a little fluffing using a headline like that when the difference between “nearly half” and “just over 40%” could hardly be called “overwhelming.” ellis

    Door locks acting up!

    In the case of the ceiling fan, that’s probably because the motor start capacitor is defective. Dry bearings is another possibility. ellis

    repiping a house

    Is the leak at a fitting or is it through a corroded pipe. If a pipe is corroded from the inside enough for a leak it may indicate bad plumbing. If it’s at a joint or fitting, just fix that. ellis

    Sooooo...wonder what's wrong with it?

    While it’s certainly Politically Incorrect to profile names…. claims by “Vlad" or "Muhammad al Hakim” of a “tiny amount of water in one footwell” should be investigated throughly. That water might well have run in though the open window while the car was submerged up to the window on that side...

    Uneven wear on tires

    Uneven wear on tires

    As can bad wheel bearings, and they don’t have to be noisy to do it. Loose bearings will cause un-even wear, sometimes called “chipping,” on the inside tread. I can’t tell from the picture if yours has that. You can feel it if you run your hand over the tread. That uneven tread wear will also...

    Skip 5k mile service?

    When I took mine in at 5000 miles all the dealer did was rotate the tires and “check fluids.” Unless the 5000 mile service is a necessary check-off for warranty purposes, it was a waste of time.

    The struggle is real...

    Lowes or Home Depot sells these plastic mortar mixing containers at the cement and re-bar area of the store. They're $5…6 each. I have three. Everything I buy goes in one. Not long ago the wife bought a jug of bleach that had a damaged top. When she got home there was liquid bleach sloshing...
