The easy solution was that there were three wheels all the same in that they could be interchanged. I needed the two drive wheels to be perfect. The third wheel was not driven and it’s teeth did not matter. I just switched out the back wheel with the flawed one and the unit worked. This repair cost the customer nothing for parts, just labor.
The correct bag would have cost about $45. The new bag, my daughter purchased cost only about $13. In just under 2 hours I had created a modification to the pool sweep that saved me just over $30.
So what is the purpose of the call center? When you drive into the dealership, there are two dedicated traffic lanes. One if for no appointment and the other is for appointments. I always pick the appointment lane. But, I figure there is utterly no difference in both lanes.
December 30, 2018, I get a call on my cell phone telling me that my Apple account has been breached and to press the number one on my phone to talk to technical support. I press number one but get disconnected. I look at my cell phone call log and write down the phone number that shows for this last call. I go to my computer and do a phone number reverse lookup and discover that the call shows coming…
Goodyear wipers are simply awful to install. I had to view a YouTube video to get half the job done. The design of this product is simply awful.
We recently had a number of drain pipe problems occurring within a two month period at our two story home. The three problems seem to be from suspicious causes. Mike’s (our plumber) observations: #1 With new home construction, when plumbing pipes fail to line up, some plumbers force joints to come together. This lasts for a while but as the building ages and the plastic becomes less flexible the pipe gives way. Mike has seen this happen quite a few…
I went shopping for a small crescent wrench at Home Depot. I found a wonderful and rather clever designed pliers that would outperform just about any small wrench I have in my tool kit. Here is what I like about it: The jaws have a clever design that easily grabs any bolt size up to 1 and 1/2 inches. The jaws can open up to 2 and 1/4 inches for grabbing other items that do not come around to hit…
Our family has an in ground back yard pool with two pumps. One of for moving pool water through a filter so the water is made clean. The second motor moves pool water from the pool filter exhaust out to a pool sweep. This second pump is at a high enough force that it propels a pool sweep that picks up debris that might fall to the bottom of the pool. What this pool sweep picks up is deposited into…
It was a Thursday, July 20, 2017, when our garbage disposal failed. One of the grinding heads broke loose which caused the garbage disposal to nearly explode with noise and vibration. I dove for the on/off switch and shut the unit down. I fished out the broken piece. The disposal was way out of balance when I applied power again and shut the unit down quickly. I knew then I had to replace the unit.
I purchased a JayBird X2 headset for about $180 in 2016. After using them for no more than 20 times, the device failed. It would ONLY power on just after taking the headset off the charger. I had been turning the headset ON and OFF each time I needed it. My son came up with the solution. He told me to keep the headset ON all the time! In short, this was the near perfect solution. He said the battery…
