AGPTEK A19X MP3 PLAYER Unboxing, Demonstration and Review [A19X MP3 PLAYER]

This AGPTEK A19X MP3 PLAYER performed very well. I was able to successfully download and transfer music to it. It is blue tooth capable so I was able to play music through both a portable speaker as well as wireless headphones which was really nice. The ear buds that came with it work really well and were nice and loud. It comes with a usb cord for charging and file transfer. The battery life on this is outstanding and very long lasting. I played this straight for nearly 8 hours and it still had well over 1/2 the battery life showing.

DIY How to Grill Mangoes | What's better than a Mango? | Answer: Another...



My love for mango's can only be shown here when I throw them on the barbie and grill them up. I added no extra ingredients and their natural sugars came out and the result was delicious. If you really want to spice this process up:
1. Coat with Sliced Mangos with Melted Butter
2. Sprinkled with Brown Sugar or Regular Sugar
3. Cayenne Pepper for a kick at the end

You won't be disappointed either way. Grilling these mangos is a nice addition to your menu for either just yourself of when entertaining friends. Follow the three steps above to really set this off.

How to Unclog a Bathroom Sink and How to Remove Sink Drain Stopper



n this video I discuss and demonstrate a method of unclogging your backed up bathroom sink. I start with the least invasive and try to unclog the bathroom sink by using a pair of hemostats to fish out any debris around the drain as this is sometimes the only fix you need to do. This was not the case in this instance of this plugged up drain. The sink stopper needed to come out. This means the up and down mechanism must me disassembled. This is done by going underneath the sink and unthreading the fitting that secures the up and down joint. Once unthreaded it can be pulled out. Now there is a hole in the pipe so if you run your water anymore it will run out the hole all over the place. Now you can remove the stopper from up above. In this instance there was some debris down inside the drain that needed to fished out. After removing all the debris that was reachable I reassembled the parts. The sink was still not unclogged though so I had to disassemble again. I decided to give it the water pressure treatment with the garden hose as I've had many successes in the past using this same method. Once I flushed whatever was plugging it down the drain with the hose pressure, I reassembled all the parts. What you want is a whirlpool or eddy look of the water as it goes down the drain. If it bubbles or gurgles a bit then it means something is impeding the water flow and it's still plugged.

Removing Old Baseboard Heaters and Upgrading to New Ones

Baseboard heaters can be very dangerous and are nearly the least preferred out of many heat sources available for use with a house. If you are wanting  to remove them the video up above shows exactly how to do that. The reason I took mine out was because the house nearly caught on fire because of them. I had to re-install new ones years later due to the potential of selling the house. I used wood heat in place of the baseboards for many years.
For baseboard heater removal:

Step 1: Turn off breaker and double check power is off w/voltage sensor.

Step 2: Unscrew panel to the right or left on the heater itself to expose wires.

Step 3: Unthread wire nuts and pull apart wires.

Step 4: Unmount the heater from the wall.

Step 5: Properly cap/disposition the wires. If you are not installing new baseboard heaters right away, install electrical box in wall and secure wires this way. If you are able to, leave the breaker/s off for the circuit until you are ready to install new heaters.



Installing upgraded baseboard heaters can be refreshing. They look new and there's a little extra confidence that they'll be a little safer and more efficient. Once you've made this decision to replace them, take a look at the two videos above. Installing them is very easy. Be sure you've double checked that the power is still off before messing around with any of the wiring. The first video shows you how to re-install the new baseboard heater itself. The second one shows you how to install the face mounted thermostat.
This is a nice feature because the temperature control itself is right on the face of the baseboard heater. This just gives you more options to adjust each heater individually. The cost on them is around $20 to $25 each. Using these can also provide some added safety reassurance in case the thermostat malfunctions and the heaters come on when not desired. This was the original reason I uninstalled the old baseboard heaters in the first place.
If you are performing all these upgrades, you may as well upgrade and install a new thermostat as well, if one exists. I want to emphasize safety here. Let me be clear, it is always best to hire a licensed electrician to do this work. If you choose to DIY, make sure to turn off the power and use a non-contact voltage sensor like the one in the link provided below.

Be careful and best of luck.
