    Recommendation for a good vacuum; Dyson?

    We had an old Hoover Wind Tunnel repaired at a vacuum shop in Bountiful a few years ago. He said that Dyson's are not worth the money & would stay away from them. I do see refurbished ones available so there must be a lot of failures. About 6 months ago we bought a Shark brand for $150 from...

    Let's Talk Lawns

    That looks familiar. I spent a few hours Friday & Saturday pulling Dandelions the same way & have given up. There are too many so I need to spray.

    Squeaky floors upstairs, help me fix it.

    Our stairs had a bad squeaky sound that made me avoid stepping on certain ones in fear of waking up the kids. When the carpet was pulled out waiting for the new carpet to be installed I decided to fix the problem. I found that there was a little space between the stair treads & the stringers. I...

    building a garage hoist..??

    I built a Trolley/Hoist in my garage several years ago. I bought a 40' 5" I Beam & 20' of 2x4 .25" rectangle tubing for $520. The I beam for the Trolley was 26' with one 11' post being the remainder I Beam. I used 2x4 rectangle tubing for the other Beam. I used a HF Tools 2 ton Trolley & 1400 lb...

    73 international scout whats it worth scout experts

    I paid $200 & $300 for the last SII's that I bought but both were rusted out & not road worthy. KSL usually has similar ones for $1000-$1500 like what Gertsch said.

    Car tires

    I have a friend that has bought several sets of slightly used tires from Perez Auto Repair and Tires. I replaced 2 tires on my car at one of the local tire shops about a year ago. I was shocked to pay about $250 for just the 2 tires. In November I went to Perez Auto Repair and Tires & replaced...

    We have had issues with the Display Port Adapters going out so I would buy at least 1 backup so you will never need it:-\

    Video card with 3+ monitors

    Someone that I used to work with ran one of these & liked it. They are $180 though. http://www.amazon.com/VisionTek-Radeon-Express-Graphics-900345/dp/B004JU260O/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1451500489&sr=1-1&refinements=p_n_feature_keywords_browse-bin%3A4091881011

    ???'s for you without dish/directv/comcast....

    We have a huge old Analog Antenna in our attic. The coax cable from the antenna runs into a powered coax amplifier then feeds the different TV's in the house. Our older TV's have Digital Converters & the newer TV's have ones built in. Works well enough to pickup all of the local channels. It...

    Anyone deal with leatherseats.com?

    Our truck seats are very easy to pull the Leather off. I replaced my Center storage with a Center Jump Seat so I can seat 6. In order to do that I had to grind off the metal for the Arm Rest off with my Captains Chairs. There are some clips at the bottom of the Leather & it just pulls off.

    Computer woes... the usual for me.

    I have seen viruses set an invalid DNS that prevent any Internet Connections. You could try typing "ipconfig /flushdns" from the command prompt to see if that works. Also "ipconfig /release" & then "ipconfig /renew" might be worth a shot.

    Newfoundland Mountains and Hogup Pumping Station

    We had a tour of the Pump Station a couple years ago while on a Scout Campout. One of the guys that goes out Monthly to do maintenance showed us around. If/When they need it again it will take several months to get it up and running if I recall. It was very cool. I was 7 in 1982 & remember 1300...

    Vintage plates - renewal question

    My Dad has a 71 F250 that was due for inspection this week. I told him to get these Vintage Plates so he no longer deals with Safety & Emissions. He took in his expiring Registration, paid for new Plates/Registration & is now as happy as can be. I'll do the same on my Scout Project if I ever get...

    Welcome to Socialism

    I had someone offer a tattoo in trade for a vehicle that I had on KSL. They couldn't understand that I had no interest in them giving me a tattoo.

    Vintage plates - renewal question

    I had Vintage Plates on my 1970 Scout when I had it. I swear that it originally had listed on the first few renewals that Safety & Emissions was required. It could be that the Inspection Place wanted the extra $ for doing both. It seems like it then changed to only requiring Safety. I found my...
