    front load washer door gasket rip repair.

    This morning my front load washing machine leaked all over. Looking at it, the door gasket has about a 1 inch tear in the very outer edge that's mysteriously similar in size and shape to a cat bite. By coincidence my cat likes to bite these sorts of things. Since the repair manual calls it a...

    South Dakota fishing trip destination

    Sorry if this is in the wrong place but I tried a couple days in the boating destination with no luck: We're heading to South Dakota and looking to kill a day or two somewhere, hopefully fishing. I was hoping to find somewhere with Launch Boat Charters (where they take out 10+ people on a big...

    Looking for a south Dakota Fishing Launch

    We're heading to South Dakota and looking to kill a day or two somewhere, hopefully fishing. I was hoping to find somewhere with Launch Boat Charters where I can take my whole family out at a reasonable price. I've looked around the internet and all I've found are guides offering trips for 2-4...

    Building flip up bench seat to casting deck

    I've been hoping to add a flip up bench across my back casting deck. I want it to lay flat so I can still stand back there when the seat is folded down. I've got a couple ideas and I was hoping you guys could tell me if it will work, if it's a dumb idea, or how I could make it better. I plan...

    Finally, an end to the "which boat wax is best" question.

    There is no way this isn't better than turtle wax or collinite. The $96,867 bottle of car wax that your ride doesn

    Distance between gas line and electrical outlet.

    Doing some remodeling and I'm running a dedicated circuit to my microwave and gas range. I've looked around but haven't seen anything about code for distance between an electrical outlet for the range and the gas line. I want to push the stove back close to the wall so there's pretty limited...

    water softner vs water filter

    Hope you guys don't mind all my questions but after 4 years here I've seen that you guys are smarter and more trustworthy than everybody else out there. I think my WaterBoss softener is on it's way out of this world. I've done a lot of research and am not sure I like the idea of a softener...

    Anybody have experience with Lumber Liquidators?

    I'm getting closer to actually replacing my wood floors and was wondering if anybody has experience with Lumber Liquidators. I hear their customer service is terrible but I'm more worried about quality of the brands they carry. As an alternative anybody have recommendations on national brands...

    Left handed shooting right handed gun, and cutting stock.

    I have a couple nicer Ruger 10/22's that I plan to pass on to my two sons, and last night I found a nice pink laminate stock for my daughter at a price I couldn't pass on. That leaves me with a plain factory stock to cut down until they grow into the full size. Leaves me with a couple...

    Couldn't get through to run background check to purchase firearm. Anybody else?

    Not getting political here, but just have a simple question. I bought a firearm yesterday and the FFL dealer was on hold for 54 minutes before getting through to run the background check portion. They said the longest they've ever waited previously was 10 minutes. This morning at 10:00 AM...

    Google Chrome wont open IBboats Directly

    Not sure if anybody else has this problem but I cannot open IBOATS directly from google chrome. It comes up with a message saying the server is under maintenance. Chrome works fine on everything else. I went through a couple days of withdrawl thinking the site was down until I googled a boat...

    May build cabin, plan and concrete questions.

    I've had my eye on a piece of lakefront for a while, the price has gotten to a point where I may have to buy it. Just had a couple questions and hoping for some input. This is in northwest WI so it will get chilly. I've talked a lot with the township and building code seems to be minimal at...

    Water in bearings question

    I just fixed a flat and was putting the tire back on and decided to check my bearings. About a teaspoon of water poured out so I took off the hub to have a look. The grease around the outer bearings is milky but looked clean around the inner bearings. There is rust on the spindle where the...

    I hate keys!

    Nothing good happens when you're short on time and in a hurry. I took the kids for a last minute fishing trip this morning. I backed down the ramp, unhooked the winch strap and jumped over the bow into the boat with an extra strong push to get the boat off the trailer,.....and instantly...

    Replacing tires, do I have the right ones.

    My 18 ft Aluminum Sylvan with motor and gear can't possibly weigh more than 2000 lbs. I've had a problem with persistent bead leaks on the passnger side leading up to this weekend at the cabin where I came out to find it completely flat. I filled it back up and couldn't find a leak anywhere...

    Backwards Canoe

    I didn't want to risk it out there this weekend so I took the kids to the beach. There was a huge family gathering going on and one of them brought a canoe. They had 2 permanent flip up seats mounted to it. Two young adults took turns taking younger kids (5-8 years old) for rides. No life...

    Been looking for a new car for my wife and Dodge Journey's seem to fit the bill. I've found a guy who is dying to get rid of his but it doesn't have the 3rd row, which I desperately need. Just wondering if anybody knows if one can be converted to have 3rd row? I've looked online and haven't...

    Bilge Pump Question

    I plan to add a second bilge pump to my aluminum boat. The 1000 gph pumps use a 3/4 inch hose and the 1250 gph pumps use a 1 1/8 hose. I currently have a 1 1/8 thru hull fitting left over from a livewell I no longer use, but it's about 8 feet from where the pump will be. Anybody have any...

    Engineered wood flooring questions

    It's come time to do something about my Douglas Fir flooring, I'm sick of the dents anytime something falls. I was thinking about just screwing down the few chronic squeaky spots and going over it with engineered wood. Whatever I put over the top will probably be a floating floor to avoid...

    carpet measuring, and installation on stairs

    I'm getting around to fixing up the basement after my November flood. The flooring guy who the insurance company sent out measured at a total of 540 sq ft. I just had a guy out from Lowes and he measured at 612 sq ft. Best I can Lowes just added on an extra 72 sq ft of carpet for stairs...
