5 Things to Know Before You Buy Chickens
And; I'll subscribe to see what else I might learn. Thanks again.
You answered a lot of my questions. Thanks I'll rewatch it and take notes this time.
Unfortunately the dual replacement valves I found at my local home improvement stores were a little bit smaller than my original, so I was not able to swap the upper valve bodies. Before going to the trouble of removing the valve, compare the old and new valves' dimensions by removing the washer hoses and lining up the new valve's hose threaded end with the old to compare the valve body widths.
Getting ready to install mine now. Fingers crossed! Thanks for your video.
Pro tip: look at the reviews. A 1.5 star rating isn't a good sign.
What if there are only 2 black wire in the light switch box?
Great Job!!
Thank you!
Our First time growing plant Oregano. It's great. Now our question's ? Should we ? Wash, Cut and cook fresh green oregano ? Or Dry the oregano first. Then cook with food. ? What the correct way to really get best teaste ?
Thanks so much for this video. I was debating calling a plumber or replacing the valve with 2 Shark Bite fittings. Haven’t done it yet but this will be way easier, with no soldering.
Finally. I searched for 'install door trim' tips on YT. EVERYONE presumes you not only have an air compressor, but also a brad nailer. Thanks for remembering our mere mortality.
A simple lamp socket replacement became complicated when the lamp cord had no characteristic to distinguish between the hot and neutral wires. A multimeter continuous test solved the problem.
Perfect for us mere mortals,, Thank you !
Can’t find paperbags anywhere…😢
I'm a plumber and I have to dig a lot through all kinds of ground. Squatting before lifting the shovel is crucial for saving your back. Your gonna feel it as your legs and but get stronger but its worth it. I choke up on the grip towards the head of the shovel if the ground is moist and heavy to keep the weight more central and not 3' out in front of me pulling on my lower back.
Wicked helpful. Many thanks.
STOP TALKING!!!!
Anyone else see the spider yelling at him and shaking his little fist or just me? 🤣 but this is a great video. This will be much easier that I thought it was gonna be.
Hy from Malawi I like your work
Omf hope!!!
what if you need multiple coats then this doesn't work!
Just the video I was looking for. Thanks
Thank you! Glad this was here. I have a 2013 Kenmore 400. Works great being as I vacuumed it out twice the last 6 years. Watched another trouble shooting video that started with the thermal fuse. and ended with the door switch. It removed the back panel, dial dashboard and them the top. After watching, I checked the door switch and it was broken. My dryer is in a place where the exhaust tubing is difficult to replace. Thought I look for a video for replacing the switch . This saved me a lot of time and frustration.
An waste of tape.😂
You shouldn't wash them like that. Watering without wetting the leaves is better. ❤
Do NOT cut the top leaves off of the plants when they are young. Only the lower branches that are below the first blossom clusters. These are leaves that get splashed by rain .
Did you set up your own rain water harvesting system? We are in Houston, TX where there is a lot of rain. Interested to know what I can possibly recreate.
It's a beautiful idea but as you were speaking it was dripping sugarwater. You could see the bubbles. It's very dangerous for a hummingbird to get sugarwater on its feathers most of the time they perish because they can't fly and starve to death
Can we freeze 😮cilantro and parsley like you did with the chives? And can the cilantro be ok to use to make salsa after frozen ?
Fast, simple
Love Love Love these tips!!!❤😊😊😊
You got a 1.5 star door? That's wild lol
I wanna remove that T-Brace on mine. I wonder if it would make it floppy? 🤔 sliding screen doors don't have such braces... though they aren't under as much force
If there are obstructions and the hinges have to be on different sides is that OK?
I don’t know if you read these, but this was incredibly helpful.
Omg you resemble Lisa Kudrow from the show Friends! Thank U for these tips too!
Thank you, this was a great help.
Is Hilah's homeandgarden website link above infected with a virus? When I click on it, had a phishing attempt to try to act as if it was Microsoft needing my personal info. Hit escape & closed site. all well on my side.
I gotta get those shoes, slip on shovel safe shoes??!
I watched another video and he started doing something very complicated for something he called the "reveal". Never said what that was. You did. Thanks! And his method was crazy confusing.
Lol😂 9 yrs old. Still a great video. Really well explained for the beginner!
This was a really good video and explanation. I was able to see where the leads and settings were going because of the stable camera work and time on images. I wasn't able to see the microscopic analog readings and think this might motivate me to buy a digital meter. Deciphering readings isn't something I really want to leave to chance. Thanks for making the video!
Who else already uses these strategies and still gets back pain 😅 there’s got to be more solutions for this right? Great video though 😊
I watched this video for one reason--- to see which side of the door is the outside and which is the inside. The video did not indicate this at all! My door definitely is designed one side deep screened and the other side is shallow, not symmetric! It matters on my door. It's not plastic, but traditional wood. 😟
Isn’t there something we should know regarding hot vs cold composting? I’ve heard those terms but don’t know anything about it.
So you recommend we illegally dump hazardous chemicals into the environment? None of the paint companies recommend what he is doing. They and all professionals recommend cleaning in a bucket, then properly disposing of water or chemicals. If you clean paint in your sink or tub, you will be paying a plumber to fix it sooner or later.
I find that drying herbs in a dehydrator preserves the flavour the best.
So Lady Galadriel continues to teach her Elvish ways to us mortals? Nice!
I am a certified bonafide range installer after your first rate job of instructional fortitude 🙌🏻🥳
Quick and to the point! Love it
