I had to travel to my sister’s mobile home residence while she was away on a long vacation. I went to her place on weekends so that I could take care of her yard plants surrounding her mobile home. I decided to stay over night each weekend. Her home had two bedrooms and I decided not to use her bed but the second bedroom. Problem for me was that the bed in that second bedroom was not that comfortable to…
Our house seems to need Wifi extenders to improve getting good Internet on our computers and cell phones. I did a fair amount of research and chose the product “eero mesh WiFi system – router replacement for whole-home coverage (3-pack)” which cost me $129.99. The website rating was pretty good at 4.4 and achieved an Amazon Choice recommendation. But, after installing the units, we experienced random short periods loosing our Internet. The cause was the Eero units. I found some…
It was a shock to see that a pavilion beam had been bolted to the back yard house wall. What was shocking was viewing the huge number of varying size holes that now had to be repaired.
For years, when I leave my house after locking the front door, I turn the outside front door to make sure that the door is locked. I have a habit of turning the knob back and forth a number of times probably to make sure the door is really locked. A few months ago I sort of noticed that I forgot to lock the door because it would open after turning the outside door knob a few times. I was…

We had had a new roof put on to our house with new facia boards. When it came to put up Christmas lights my wife and I did NOT want to put the lights up using the old method of nailing U type clips hold the light cords in place as seen in the image below. We discovered a really nifty plastic clip that slides into the existing roof tiles and also on to any thin metal which does NOT…
My wife was on me to clean out our garage. One type of items that were in our garage were from prior home improvement projects, mostly electrical parts. I went on the Internet to find places that might take construction and home improvement items for donations. I tried to call Habitat For Humanity but no one would pick up the phone. I decided to drive there which took almost a half hour but they would not accept any of…
I found that when I put contour sheets in the dryer after being washed, they often times would ensnare at least one item, typically a pillow case, inside a twisted ball. The ball always was at the contour sheet corner. This required me to untwist the contour sheet holding other washed item and finding that they both were still wet. I had to run the dryer again to dry those wet items. This wasted energy and my time. I came…
My wife wanted me to move a pile of pipes and other rather long outdoor items laying on the east side of our back yard. This is because the single side gate was next to this pile and looked pretty bad. I decided to place the items on the other, west side, of the back yard but that side of the house was engineered to accept flood water and pipe it out to the front street through a sunken pipe…
