A while back I sought some input on cabinet lighting and said I would update the list when I finally finished--better late than never, I say! The lights are LED strips from IKEA: Dioder $50 for a 4 p
Hi All, Our basement is lit with six 2x34W Fluorescent fixtures and one 60W incandescent fixture, all switched by a two-way switch at the top of the stairs (no other switching). One of the fluorescen

Hi John, This was befuddling to me when I first connected my PC to my HDTV. Here's how I think you have it setup: PC: Video output: RGB 15 pin output (no sound) Audio output: headphone jack HDTV: Vid
Coincidentally, I'm in the process of buying a house in NJ that has in-ground oil tank. Based on my experience I would consider the following actions: 1. Have it inspected. This cost me a couple hund

We just had our underground oil tank replaced with an above-ground oil tank (as a part of buying the property). The oil service company (Crown in NJ), noted that the oil already has antifreeze and ru
seem to wear more on the inside than the outside, the tread as possible (if you get my 'drift'). mild toe-out can cause that sort of wear in 10k miles or so (e.g., -1.5 camber and 1/8" toe-out). If
Hi All, One of our A/C compressors is tripping its breaker periodically and I'm not sure how to fix it. I know when it trips because the upstairs vents start to blow warm air. The identical downstair
Thank you all, this is the type of insight I was hoping to get. I'm going to replace the breaker first (and confirm the brand). If that doesn't fix the issue, then I'll test the voltage at the compre
I just went through the same situation and it looks like everyone has offered the advice I would give, so I'll just summarize my experience. The contract of sale was written on the condition that the
If you like the truck you have (other than the smell!), I'd recommend another one. I believe GM updated their trucks in 2007 with the 6-speed transmission that should net you better mileage and help

I used CVS to convert some super 8 video and I was happy with the results (DVD quality and the condition of my returned films). The actually conversion is done by YesVideo, which I believe can be con
I can attest to the varnish that forms when gas is left sitting for too long exposed to the air. I neglected to drain the gas from the carburetor in our lawnmower before it sat for two years. This sp
I have no suggestion for a junk yard part to pull, but you could consider electric aftermarket radiator fans (e.g. Flex a light) from places like Summit, Jeggs, etc. I've had good success using them
