DIY Home Brew | Octoberfest with Mosaic Hops | Craft & Brew Beer Recipe Kit

DIY Home Brew | Octoberfest with Mosaic Hops | Craft & Brew Beer Recipe Kit. I was very happy with the way this turned out. I had to use Mosaic hops b/c when this kit showed up the package had been damaged and the hops missing. I had some mosaic hops on hand so I used those. I turned out amazing tasting and very unexpectedly unique. These beer kits make the best beer. I don't buy beer at the store anymore since making my own. Making your own beer gives you a deeper appreciation for it. You realize what goes into making it and the ingredients involved. You can have this brewed on your brew day in less than two hours. I left it in the fermenter for two weeks, then two more weeks after bottling.

DIY Home Brew: Northern Brewer | Dead Ringer India Pale Ale Kit

I ordered this awesome beer kit from amazon. In this DIY Home Brew: Northern Brewer | Dead Ringer India Pale Ale Kit video, I take you step by step through unboxing, brewing and taste testing. This was ready to drink in just over a month. The first thing I did was heat approx 2.5 gallons of filtered water to 155F or approx 68F. Then take the provided grains, pour them into the grain bag, tie off the grain bag and place it into the water once it reaches temp. Maintain that temperature, no higher and no lower (plus or minus a couple degrees), and let it steep for 20 to 30 minutes. Once 20 to 30 minutes has elapsed, pull out the grain bag and let drain over the newly created wort. Don't squeeze it. Then it's time to bring the wort to a slow rolling boil. Total boiling time will be 60 minutes. Once boiling add the liquid malt extract. and stir in well. While it's boiling I added cool filtered water to the fermenter. I then added hops at 10 minutes time intervals and stirred them in. Once 60 minutes in complete I transferred the wort immediately to an ice bath. Once completely cooled I transferred (siphoned) the wort to the fermenter and topped it off with some additional filtered water. I then added the yeast and shook it around a little. Then I installed the air lock and let the brew sit for a couple weeks in a dark area. After a couple weeks I transferred it to a separate fermenter that was actually only used as a bottle filler and then mixed and added some hops and the priming sugar solution to give the brew carbonation. I then bottled it and let it sit for a couple weeks before sampling.

DIY How to Easily Clean Your Wal-Mart Above Ground Pool with Garden Hos...

Keep that dirty pool clean following these steps in my DIY How to Easily Clean Your Wal-Mart Pool with Garden Hose & Water Vacuum Attachment video. This pool was a great purchase from Wal-Mart as I used it for 4 or 5 years. Honestly, I figured it would be a typical 1 season then toss it type of deal so I was impressed by how long it lasted. I actually was able to sell it for about 50 bucks. They are nice because they come with patch kits and cleaning accessories that you can really use. I never did have to patch it but once the hot season was over I made sure to clean it out well before storing, then stored it on a pallet fastened down with some rope and took apart all of the electrical and plumbing components and made sure they were stored in a dry place and kept segregated so I knew how to assemble it the following year. I recommend either setting this up on grass and/or a layer of sand underneath. Any rocks or jagged edges will be felt along the bottom once the weight of the water takes it's effect on the bottom.
Cleaning this pool is really easy and they made a nice attachment to hook up to your garden hose. It's the vacuum looking accessory. You thread in your garden hose and then tie the white filter bag around the exit port. I found it helpful to use extra banding to hold the bag on. You can use zip ties, rubber bands, hair ties, etc to do this. This will make sure the bag will stay on and withstand the pressure of the garden hose. It works well. You just run this thing along the bottom of the pool and once the bag gets filled up you secure the water and dump the bag out and repeat. The more you do this the better because if you wait too long to clean your pool the longer it takes to clean. If you have trees around those leaves and pine needles love to land in your pool. The screen with the pole attachment works well too especially for insect removal. The bees and insects love to land in the pool as well so this is a great accessory. Happy swimming and cleaning. 

How to Safely Change a Tire: The Basics | Beginner's Step by Step Easy T...

In order to safely change a tire you'll need a tire iron and a jack. It is best to use a jack stand as well in case your jack fails. Many people get crushed every year by relying on their jack alone. If you absolutely must not use a jack stand than take all precautions to anticipate the vehicle coming down and the jack failing. This means keeping your body and all body parts out of the way between any part of the vehicle and the ground.
The first step is to make sure the vehicle is on flat ground. To be super safe place two wheel chocks on both sides of any wheel that is not to be changed out. Loosen the lug nuts (with the lug wrench) on the wheel before jacking it up. Then jack up the vehicle with a jack using part of the vehicle's frame as closest to the wheel/tire you are changing out treating the situation as if the jack will fail, slide the jack stand under the frame so it's snug and will hold if the jack should fail. Finish loosening the lug nuts on the wheel and remove them and set the aside. Remove the wheel and plug the spare on. Hand tighten the lug nuts on the new wheel getting them as hand tight as possible in a star pattern. Carefully remove the jack stand and lower the jack. Now tighten the lug nuts in a star pattern. If you used wheel chocks remove those now. Drive slowly to the nearest tire service station to get your tire repaired as soon as possible. Don't drive on the spare for longer than necessary as it is only made to be used as a temporary crutch.

DIY How to Remove and Clean Clothes Dryer Vent Ducting for Fire Prevention

In this DIY How to Remove and Clean Clothes Dryer Vent Ducting for Fire Prevention Video I take you step by step through this simple yet necessary process. Many fires are started every year from lack of cleaning of dryer vent ducts. Once this method and processed is used, your ducting will be just like new. The first thing to do is remove and replace the slinky looking  aluminum vent that connects the dryer to the hard vent. This is usually accomplished by the loosening and removal of the large hose clamp, typically a flathead fastener.

Once I got this old dryer vent removed I used my shop vac and got the big stuff out. If you are not planning on disassembling the whole thing you need to be able to have enough shop vac hose to reach the full length of the whole vent run or at least enough so that you can reach the remaining distance from the outside or opposite side. In the case in the video I decided to remove the whole thing and actually replace the old vent with brand new stuff. The existing was at least 20 years old and was corroded, old and sagging. If you wanted to re-use the existing vent ducting and remove it for cleaning, bring it outside and blow it out with an air compressor. There is a good chance you'll still have some scum that won't readily blow out with an air compressor so you'll need to figure out how to manually remove it. Many times this can be done with a rag or some type of cleaning brush. If you don't remove the old scum and reinstall it, it will be a starting point for new dryer vent bi-products to accumulate reducing the time that you'll need to clean it out again. When reinstalling be sure that the seams are facing the direction of flow so it won't be a sticking point for debris to collect. Once you get your vent ducting run all cleaned out and re-assembled it will give you piece of mind that you've reduced the chances of a dryer vent duct fire.

DIY How to Install Pre-Fabricated Deck Railing and Posts Quickly

This pre-fabricated deck railing set up was purchased at Lowe's. It was a little more than I wanted to pay and wasn't completely top quality but it was able to be constructed quickly and effectively fit the billet of having a deck rail in place on this second story outside deck. The reason I needed a new deck was because the old one had been attacked by carpenter ants in many places so after exterminating all of the carpenter ants I removed the old deck. It made for some good dry backyard bonfire wood. I then took perimeter measurements and figured out how much deck rail I would need. This pre-fabbed railing was a little more than I really wanted to pay so I didn't want to overestimate. I got my materials home and then kind of layer it out to so I could get a visual on how it went together. The first step in construction was to install the 4 X4 posts. I secured them to the outside of the deck with lag bolts, of course, pre-drilling them before sinking the lag bolt in. Since I was a one man show I was able to clamp them into place before permanently securing them. I used two lag bolts per post. Same goes for the rails. I roughly fit them up before  securing them. Pre-drilled the holes then used weather proof drywall screws to hold them in. I pre-drilled the holes using a bit slightly smaller than the screw itself. Since each rail section was a set length I ended up having to trim a little off of one. I measured twice to make sure I had the correct length. I used my hand held power saw to whack the extra part off. Overall this deck rail was super easy to install and had it done in just a few hours as I took my time installing it. The pro's are that is was quick to install, it looked attractive and matched the design of the house, was plenty sturdy (sturdy enough to lean against), the wood was already pre-stained,  and was very simple to install by myself. The only negatives were that I wish the wood was a little thicker on the rails themselves and the other is that this set up wasn't conducive to a simple gutter system if you wanted to put one on.

DIY Home Brew: Morgans Hazy Mosaic Centennial IPA-Brewing, Bottling and ...

For this delicious home brew I used liquid malt extract made by Morgan's (Frontier IPA) and dry spray malt hopped light. This sucker turned out wonderful. I used Centennial and Mosaic hops. No boiling was involved or needed at all in this brewing session. The hopping technique was dry hopping. I just simply mixed the ingredients in the fermenter along with some hot filtered water (and cold) and dry hopped the two different hops mixed into one bag. Then used the brewers yeast that came with the Morgans liquid malt extract. I made sure to add the yeast when the wort was at correct temperature. I placed the top on and waited for two weeks. Two weeks later I bottled it. Was ready to drink two weeks after that. This was a no brainer tasty  beer project. Great fun and rewarding hobby. I just use my Cooper's DIY beer kit I got off amazon. Here's the link to it below. This is a great  super easy way to get started.

SAMSUNG Brand Dryer with Steam Option-Installation Tutorial Demonstratio...

This SAMSUNG Brand Dryer with the Steam Option is a great dryer and was purchased at Lowe's. While at the store be sure to purchase the correct dryer cord and the installation kit. These don't come with the purchase and need to be bought separately. Buy some teflon tape as well. No need to pay someone to do this as it's super easy to do yourself. The first step is getting it unboxed, into your house and into place. You'll typically need two people or a dolly. If you are really fancy you can put in on a custom made wooden foundation to place it on. Once in place, open up the installation kit and pull out the hoses and components. Hook a stainless steel braided hose to the cold spigot after wrapping with teflon tape. I tightened down the connection using channel locks. From that hose I installed the 'Y' connector provided in the installation kit. From that 'Y' on the cold line, one side is going to go to your dryer and the other to your dryer. All connections made with teflon tape to keep from leaking. Now take the longer hose with the 90 degree elbow on it and hook it to your dryer. The elbow side is what connects to the dryer. From the "Y' connector on the cold line, hook a hose from the 'Y' to your washer for cold water to the washer.

Now it's time to hook up the electrical portion. It's a good idea to take a picture or template of some sort with you of your dryer plug to the hardware store to make sure you buy the correct plug pattern unless you retained your old one and it's still serviceable.



Things to buy or have on hand for installation:

1. Dryer Cord

2. Installation kit

3. Channel Lock Pliars

4. Teflon Tape

5. Dryer Vent

6. Hose Clamp for Dryer Vent



So now that you have your water system all hooked up it's time for the electrical and vent which is really easy as well. Un-package your new dryer hose and hook up the three wires in the back of the dryer. You do this by unscrewing the sheet metal panel in the back. Hook the cord to the three terminals inside the panel and secure it. Be sure to install your safety clamp as a protective measure in case the dryer gets moved, it won't destructively pull the cord's electrical connections from the terminals resulting in a possible electrical fire. Now it's time for the vent. Fasten the dryer vent over the hard piped vent connection along with the hose clamp and fasten. Do the same with the connection as the dryer.

DIY How to Replace Kitchen Sink Faucet Spout Filter (Aerator)-Make New A...

Kitchen sink spout spraying all over? Not getting enough water flow from the sink faucet? It's likely the faucet spout filter is clogged. In this tutorial I show you the simple process for accomplishing just that. I didn't realize it until I removed the old one that it needed to be replaced with a new one. This won't be the case all the time as you may just be able to clean the old one off of sediment, plastic, etc and reinstall it. In my case, the filter was damaged therefore not doing it's job. I do filter all of the water but this screen holds back the big particulates. I couldn't believe how much crap had built up on my filter. I'm surprised it flowed as well as it did. Amazing how much stuff is in our water. Changing this thing out is simple. Mine takes a 22mm wrench. Take the 22mm wrench (or vice grips if you don't care about the finish) and turn it counter clockwise to loosen. Once off, clean it all off and inspect for damage. If damaged, then replace. If still good, reinstall. The screen that I removed did not have a gasket but luckily the new one came with a gasket. If you are going to get a new one I recommend you take the old one to the hardware store with you to match it up. Pull it out of the package in the store and be sure it's the correct size and thread pitch. There is not a huge risk here for the most part as many of them are standard size. I believe the technical name for these is a sink faucet aerator.

DIY How to Install a Window Air Conditioning Unit-Wal-Mart A/C Unit

Purchased this air conditioning unit from Wal-Mart a number of years ago and used this same insertion and removal method every year as this was a seasonal window unit only installed for a couple months out of the year. Once I had this system down I could have it put installed in less than 5 minutes. First step is to take the window out and place in a safe spot for a couple months. The window removal here demonstrates the slider type where all you need to do is slide it to the left a little, push it up into the groove, and pull it up and out over the lip. Lift the air conditioner up and set it into the groove. Be absolutely sure you don't drop out the window and be sure nobody is below you before you start this. You also want to make sure you have a way to secure this once I the window. Safety brackets should be installed to keep it from dropping. Before you go buy one at the store be sure you take the height and width of your window to make sure the unit will fit. They are great to have in the summer time when it's roasting. You'll be glad you put one in. They are fairly affordable now. I'll post a link to one below and you can just order it.

DIY How to Make Green Eggs and Ham-Dr. Suess Style

Merry Xmas everyone! Dr. Suess' green eggs and ham is a fun project to make with and or for the kids. Cooking can be fun and this is something you can involve your family with having the little ones help out or even just surprise them. A little green food coloring mixed in with the deviled eggs. Tasty treat.

Along these same lines, something I always liked to do was to make "Martian Oatmeal". This keeps it a little healthier although I know that food coloring is not the best for you, you can get the kids' imagination going by adding a tiny dab of green food coloring to it. Green eggs and ham is also Keto diet friendly if that's your thing. I cooked the ham slices up in the Phillips air fryer for quick results.

DIY Welding Project-Machete from Mower Blade Tutorial

This was a fun little welding fabrication project. I found myself with a stack of old steel thick lawnmower blades. I thought what a better idea than to make a homemade machete with them. I used full penetration weld joints. "V" groove joint design both side. I gouged out the opposite side until I got down to clean sound metal, then welded it up. The trick here was to watch my distortion. So rather than weld one side all the way out I welded each side just below flush and then put the covers on it. Once I welded it out I ground the welds so that they were ground flush and indistinguishable from the base metal. I then marked out a radius for the blade and then a cut out portion for the handle. I then used my hand held electric angle grinder with a cutting wheel to complete the cuts. I honed the blade with a flapper wheel. I then used some wrapped twine for a handle. This was the first of it's kind that I made.

DIY "How-to" Milwakee Sawzall Blade Change out for Dummies

A reciprocating saw is a wonderful tool and I've used them for thousands of handyman DIY construction and repair tasks over the years. This is a must-have for the power tool collection. Even though to many, it may be blatantly obvious how to change out a blade, it may not be to others or beginners. The first thing, like any other power tool blade or wheel change out operation, unplug the damn thing. I've seen a lot of injuries and almost got a few myself for being stupid or careless and not taking the simple step of unplugging the tool before changing out the blade, wheel, or bit. Once unplugged, you'll need an Allen wrench that fits the Allen head set screw in the reciprocating head. Typically these come with one but many of us lose these things. Loosen the set screw and the blade will come out. Many new models of reciprocating saws have quick disconnect style fittings on them so no wrench may be necessary depending on the model you have. Grab your fresh blade and place it back into the same position and insert it into the slot. Then tighten the Allen head set screw. You are now good to go.

DIY Shotgun Shell Coat Rack Made From Repurposed Antique Boat House Wood...

In this Do it yourself 12 gauge shotgun shell mounted coat rack made from old torn down boat house wood and spent shotgun shell I show you step by step on how to make this cool arts and crafts project. This is a great addition to your home, cabin, or shop. You don't necessarily have to use old wood even though it does add to the cool factor. Just get a piece of cedar or any piece of wood and template out your holes to drill with the spent shotgun rounds. When I did this I measure to find the centerline of the pieces I used so all of the holes lined up right. If you want to offset them as I did in a couple of the racks, just measure out two horizontal lines evenly spaced. Once I figured out where I wanted to drill the holes I did just that. I used an auger bit because that was the size that I had in my toolbox that matched just a gnats ass over the shotgun shell diameter so it would fit in there nice and snug. For visual effect I used a heat gun and gave it a burnt look. I inserted the shells into the holes and used a brad nailer to secure them to the piece of wood. You could also use some epoxy. Now it's ready to mount to the wall.

What's Inside? Phillips Brand Airfryer-Complete Tear Down Take Apart Dis...

To satisfy curiosity I completed this total disassembly of a Phillips Brand Airfryer. This is actually pretty tough to get apart so I had to destructively rip much of it apart. I must say that we use our Phillips Airfryer regularly for almost all types of foods and I would highly recommend this to anyone.



The power function still worked on this thing but it was very well used and caked with years charred food remnant. It was time to see inside one of these.

The main parts of this things is the cooking (heating) element, the oven portion, and the fan. There are some supporting elements of this such as LED lights and a timer. It's a slick unit. No wonder they sell so many of these because they do work very well.

DIY Homemade Pallet Firewood Wood Storage Bin-Repurposed Pallet Wood Tur...

In this DIY Homemade Pallet Firewood Wood Storage Bin-Repurposed Pallet Wood video I demonstrate how to simply construct a useful and practical all weather log seasoning rack. Since I used so many pallet slats for other projects I had many of the big pallet cross member pieces left over. Typically I would slice them up into burnable pieces and use them for getting my fire started as they are great for this. In this case I needed racks in which to store all of my firewood so these were just what I needed. So I started sorting them out and getting 4 that were nearly identical to start out with and then of course pulling the nails out of pounding them in. In some cases I had to knock them off to the side and pound them flush. The reason to start out with 4 that are identical is so the sides will be close to equal height. For the bottom all you'll need is two that are nearly identical. The top is less important as long as you have pieces that are long enough as you can trim the top or even use slats if you have long enough ones. As far as the nails go, whenever I pulled them I tried to staighten them if needed and save them for future use. In this case I was able to reuse them for building these things. After sorting the pieces I laid them out on the ground in a "U" shape making two identical parts right next to each other. The bottom portion of the "U" gets nailed together to the side pieces. Once the two identical parts are constructed I stacked them on top of one another. I then used some pallet slats as securing pieces to hold the two modules together. After standing the pieces upright I completed the square by nailing the top portion on. This adds strength to the side pieces when storing firewood and also adds to the visual appeal. These are nice to make because they are free and also you can make as many as you want and stack them next to each other in a nice organized fashion without the fear of your firewood falling over. It also makes it easier to secure a tarp to it if you need to keep it dry.

DIY How to Install a Kwikset Door Handle and Deadbolt: Gatehouse Metal H...

The above step by step tutorial is a Kwikset Brand keyed entry door knob and deadbolt installation into a newly installed home security door. This door knob and deadbolt set was purchased at Lowe's Home Hardware Store. I have been pleased with the ease of installation of Kwikset brand door knobs and deadbolts. I've used them quite a lot over the years for various door installations.

The question many people have is "Can this kwikset door knob be used on metal security doors?" or "Can a kwikset doorknob that I purchased from Lowe's that would normally be used on a wood door be used on a Gatehouse Brand metal security door?".  First of all the answer is most definitely as I have installed numerous metal security doors during work as a handyman. The gatehouse brand door is nice because it's cheap, easy to install, and effective. Kwikset door handle and deadbolt combination kits are great and can be purchased at an affordable price. In this video I cut open the packaging with some scissors and pulled out the door knob and deadbolt set I need. I was doing a couple different doors this day so the combination pack was perfect. The next thing I did was insert the latch into the door intel for a loose test fit. The nice thing about it is that the threads and holes for the assembling screws are pre-drilled and tapped to standard sizes making for an easy installation. The next part is to install the inside and outside handle portion. To do this the handles need to be in the unlocked position. The flat on the door handle matches the flat on the latch insert so it can only be installed one way but if it's locked it will cause you some grief in trying to get the thing together. Once it's loosely together it's time to install the set screws. Trying to get these to line up can be a little bit of a pain sometimes. If you have an extra set of hands it's nice if the other person can hold pressure on the other side while you try to find the hole with your set screws. Once you've found the holes snug them up a bit but don't tighten all the way just yet. Once everything turns and opens and closes with no binding and functions as it should, secure the latch mechanism with the provided screws and tighten all the way. Now tighten the door knob set screws all the way. Now it's good to go as long as there is no binding or sticking. If it binds or sticks I have had to back the set screws off a 1/4 turn or so. Repeat the steps for the deadbolt assembly. Don't forget to make sure it is the right side up=). It really won't affect the function of the deadbolt if you have it 180 degrees upside down but the writing will be upside down and the key will go in upside down. I have made this mistake more than once being in a hurry installing these.

DIY Home Brew: Brewers Best Mosaic India Pale Ale Made In Kitchen-Super ...

This was a small batch home brew that I made and it turned out fantastic. The taste test in the video was done on the last half bottle that I bottled. It was so good that I'm saving it for a special occasion. Kind of like a vintage wine that you keep on the shelf. As us home brewers know, the beer does get better the longer it sits in the bottle, to an extent. This one was a home run. It takes a solid month or so to make but it goes by quickly especially if you have other brews that you are making. You won't even notice and it'll be ready before you know it. The mosaic hops that came with this beer kit really set this off. The flavor had depth and was quite moving. I knew it was going to be good once I sampled it off the fermenter just before bottling. It only got better with age and a little more carbonation. So to get started I made a homemade fermenter out of a filtered water bottle and an airlock with bung. I had to cut out a larger hole in the top of the  water bottle in order to make this work. I pulled out all the contents of the Brewers Best Mosaic IPA beer kit. The nice thing about this is that it came with specific easy to follow directions on how to make it. You will need a food thermometer if you are going to make beers like this. They are readily available for cheap so go grab one. Temperature is important when making beer so you need to pay attention to it for favorable consistent results. This whole home brewing thing is a blast and saves you money as well if you like to partake of brews once in awhile. The process is simple, make the wort, add the fermentable, cool it down quickly, siphon into fermenter, add yeast and wait a couple weeks. After a couple weeks it's ready to bottle. When it's bottling time (I just use reusable plastic bottles) then add two carbonation drops to each one and twist the cap on tight then let sit for a minimum of two weeks. The results are outstanding as well as very rewarding.

Kwikset Door Knob and Dead Bolt Installation Instructions

I purchased this new Kwikset Brand Door handle and deadbolt kit from Lowe's for about $40 or so. Got the kit home and started unboxing it and setting my parts out prepping them for installation. I gave it a rough assemble just to see how it is all going to go together so I had an idea of what to expect once I put it in the door. To get the process started for the door handle itself,  I put the latch core inside the door for a test fit. The nice thing is that almost all doors come with standard size pre-drilled and prefabricated holes to accommodate standard door handle kits. The next step was to loosely insert the inside and outside door handles for a rough fit up. Now I inserted the long set screws in through one side and threaded them into the opposite side (inner to outer). I screwed them down snug with a Phillips head screwdriver. Then I slide the decorative collar of that and it just snaps on. After that comes the handle itself. I slid the handle on and tightened it down with an Allen wrench which comes with these types of kwikset kits. I then did the same thing with the other side. For the next step I screwed in the two screws for the latch that secure it to the door. I tested for smooth operations with no binding or sticking.



Deadbolt portion:

I inserted the latch or core of the dead bolt into the door for a test fit. After knowing that it fits well it was time to place both halves of the dead bolt locking assembly into core or latch portion. The somewhat semi circular shaft fits snugly into the latch insert. Once fit up I lined up the set screw holes so they can be seen from the opposite side. Then it was time to insert the set screws and secure them tight. I ensured smooth operation with no sticking or binding. The door is now capable of being fully secured.

How to make a Wine Cork Birdhouse-Tutorial Demonstration

Do you like to drink wine or know someone who does? Don't toss those great wine corks out! You can re-use them for so many things. The fact that most of the wine corks have unique designs and prints on them make them most interesting and colorful when re-purposed into different projects. I started with a couple cut-off scrap piece of cedar fence slats that were ready for the landfill and constructed my rood first just to see how it would go to get an idea for size. Then on a base piece started nailing the base row of wine corks with finishing nails. With no real plan I freestyled some wine corks on top of each other nailing each one down individually to eventually shape a nice little bird house. It was almost like a puzzle because each wine cork has a little bit of a different diameter and length to it. I then cut to 45 degree angle shapes, drilled and then nailed them to the top of the wine cork house base frame. This gives the roof support as well as something to nail it to. Then I drilled and nailed the roof to the triangular pieces. Now it's all ready for use. The use of the repurposed material was great because cedar and wine corks don't readily break down and rot quickly so this thing was built to last a long time out in the wet and cold elements. I placed it out in a field next to my house and eventually a family of birds moved in and called it home so that was rewarding. I placed some bird feed near it as well as time went on to attract them.

How to Construct a Brick Fire Pit in your Back Yard

Placed a nice metal fire ring inside the brick for easy clean up and decoration. One nice thing about living where I do is that it's legal to have little backyard bonfires. Many good times are had with get togethers around a fire. I needed to move locations of my fire pit so I decided to make a video while I made this new one. To get started I marked a counterpoint in the middle of my rough circle and started over turning the dirt with a shovel and breaker bar as it was very tough and rocky. Then I started digging out the hole in the ground deep enough to accurate the height of my fire ring that I wanted to put in the ground. I decided I wanted to inset this one into the ground for the most part rather than have it be mostly above ground. Once I dug enough dirt out to where I thought it would be deep enough, I started to test fit the metal fire ring for depth purposes but then I also used it as the template for which to create the circular brick portion around. With my digging tools I started widening the circle a little bit to make it large enough to fit the bricks. It was important to keep the bottom flat so the the bricks would be level. Once I got the bottom of the pit level I used my 3 foot level to make sure it was level. I was then able to stack all of the bricks in there in a circular pattern and then add the metal fire pit inside it. It turned out just as I planned and ended up using it quite a bit.

DIY Instructions-How to Install an Automatic Ice Maker in Your Refrigera...

How to Install and Automatic Ice Maker. This installation was for a Frigidaire brand. IMEZC000 model. Automatic Ice Maker Installation kit. After unboxing the ice maker, you'll notice that there is an electrical connector that needs to be hooked up. Keep that in mind. The ice maker will need an on demand water supply so you'll need to run a water line to the fridge. Almost all models nowadays have a standard hook up in the back of the fridge for this. When I did this, I removed the thread protectors from the fridge connection and used teflon tape around the threads. Then I hooked up the hose, turned on the water and checked for leaks. In this video you'll notice my incoming water valve demonstrates some leaking while operating the valve. Once it's either in the fully open or fully closed position, the leak stops. I did end up replacing this valve just for the purposes of upgrading it and made another video on it as well. After the water connection at the fridge was satisfactorily checked for water leaks, I pushed the fridge back into it's spot. Now it's time to mount the ice maker. The electrical connections are uncovered inside the the freezer. There are some plastic screw hole protectors in the side of the freezer that need to be removed to allow for the mounting screws to be inserted. Then I inserted the mounting screws that come with the ice making kit. Don't screw them in all the way. Pull out your ice maker and plug the electrical connection into the receptacle in the freezer. Also there is a plastic ice slide that needs to be installed as shown in the video. After plugging in the electrical connection I hung the ice maker onto the mounting screws and then drove them in all the way to secure it to the side wall of the freezer. I then plugged the fridge back in had ice in no time flat. This ice maker installation was so easy.

This is a must-have if you are into home brewing and bottling. It allows you to wash and sanitize your bottles then place them in such a manner that allows the water to run out without the bottle being disturbed and falling over.

Singapore Salted Egg Sotong-Wong Chiew Resturaunt's Tasty Entree

If you haven't had salted egg anything, you MUST try it! My favorite is called Salted Egg Sotong. Sotong is fried squid. It's like the same shape and texture of onion rings but BETTER! Combine it with some green chili's and some red sauce and you're in heaven. Great splurge food especially when paired with an ice cold Asahi. This cool joint is great because you sit outside and can enjoy the outdoor atmosphere  and partake while taking in the breeze and smells of the various foods being cooked and served. Great local place for a decent price. In Singapore, Salted Egg is becoming a common flavor for different things such as chips, fish skins, etc. It sounds a little odd at first but give it a shot and you can go ahead and thank me later. This little corner joint, Wong Chiew's, serves many different dishes and I haven't had a bad meal there. Great service at a decent price with a definite local feel. It's open almost 24-7 and people are seen eating breakfast there as well, which I haven't personally experienced yet. I have to say they serve the best sweet and sour chicken and dim sum I have ever had. Served fresh and steaming. Absolutely delicious.

Phillips Air Fryer-Frozen Hot Chicken Party Wings Super Quickly Prepared

They were called wings of fire. I put them right into the air fryer frozen. I made sure that I didn't stack them but gave enough room around each one so they could cook properly. This contraption is so easy to use it's unbelievable. Just put the wings in, adjust your cooking temp setting,  and push the button. You will have fresh crispy party wings in record time. I use this for hamburgers, fries, veggies, pork chops, and many other things. For this particular dish, I ate these tasty treats with some homemade ranch dressing and a couple sticks of celery. I used some Franks Red Hot Buffalo Wing sauce on the side too.

The clean up at the end is so easy as well. There is a non stick surface under the removable cooking screen that makes for ease of food removal in no time flat.

DIY-Mountain Security Brand-Keyed Entry Door Knob Installation Tutorial

Accompany me during this DIY-Mountain Security Brand Keyed Entry Door Knob Installation tutorial. In a somewhat organized manner I pulled the parts out of the package and layer them out. I then slid the internal latch mechanism into the door and slid the rods of the door handles through the center. After assembling the internal locking mechanism and both sides of the door handle start loosely screwing everything together. I started with the door jam side portion of the assembly by inserting and tightening the screws that lock it in. I then took the two long fine threaded screws and inserted them into the face of the collar of the door handle inserting them all the way through, pulling both sides of the door handles toward each other as you tighten. Once everything is tight, be sure to ensure the door handle opens and closes without any binding. If any binding does occur, you may want to try to back off the door handle assembly screws just a tiny bit.

How To Fix a Leaky Toilet

This job started when I got notified about water on the floor. It would get cleaned up with a towel but show back up again. It would get worse after every flush of the toiled. I checked for the quick and easy stuff first. The toilet wasn't continually running, meaning, the float inside was good. I checked really good around the water supply valve, it's associated hose, and it's connection to the toilet. All of this was bone dry. This meant one thing,  Toilet was leaking around the base. This meant I had to perform the following steps to pull the toilet and replace the wax ring:



Step 1: Turn off the water to the toilet

Step 2: Flush remaining water in the bowl

Step 3: Disconnect water supply hose

Step 4: Remove the two caps over securing nuts on toilet base

Step 5: Unthread the two securing nuts

Step 6: Pull (remove) the toilet

Step 7: Remove old wax ring remnant

Step 8: Install new was ring

Step 9: Re-install toilet onto new wax ring

Epson L13110 Printer Won't Print? Here is the Quick Solution. Get Your L...

Is your Paper Cycling through your printer  but no ink showing up? Epson L13110 Printer Won't Print? Here is the Quick Solution. Get Your L3110  Working Again Fast.

1. Click the "Windows" icon

2. Click on "Settings"

3. Click "Devices"

4. Click on "Printers and Scanners"

5. Click on "Epson" Printer

6. Click "Open queue"

7. In printer queue click the "Printer" tab

8. Select "Printing Preferences" from dropdown

9. Select "Maintenance" in new Epson L3110 Printing Preferences

10. Select "Power Cleaning" and Click "Next".



This worked like a charm for me to get my printer back printing. I was one step away from taking it apart and somehow cleaning the ink receptacle by hand. I probably would have ruined it by doing so and been forced to toss the whole thing. Really glad this worked. The very first thing I tried was to make sure there was enough in the receptacles. It was obvious there was as it hasn't printed since I filled them myself. Just to go through the steps I did a visual check anyway and I could see through the front of the receptacle that there was enough ink (it was almost full). Then I pulled out the Epson L3110 user's guide/owner's manual and followed the recommended steps there which included holding the button with the triangular shaped design in it down for 5 seconds until the power button blinked. This had it run through a cycle of print head cleaning. Once into the printer preferences queue and maintenance (as mentioned above) I tried the nozzle cleaning function, then the head cleaning function and both of these didn't work. I'd never heard of doing a power cleaning before so I was losing hope and had visions of tossing this one into the recycle and having to purchase a new one. Luckily I tried the "Power Cleaning" cycle and it worked!!. It is hard to say if the fact that it worked was a combination of all of the cycles that I ran the printer through or if I could have just gone to the power cleaning cycle. Regardless, it doesn't matter because it works now. What I suspect was the problem was that the ink dried and hardened in the oriface in which it comes out thereby not letting any of the liquid ink pass by. Just a guess. It also could have been the fact that the printer was brand new and there was something from the manufacturing process that was blocking it.

Hotpoint Brand Oven Light Bulb Installation

DIY "How to" Hotpoint Brand Oven Light Bulb Installation Tutorial Instructional Demonstration. If you know how to do this then its very easy, but for those of us who don't, well...it can take a minute or two to figure out. If you watch this video, I will show you exactly how to replace the bulb in your Hotpoint Brand Oven. Many people just leave the light bulb in the burned out state for the life of the oven. I couldn't imagine not being able to see what's cooking or what it's looking like.

Many people, like myself are procrastinators. "Well the oven light is out" is what you may tell yourself. It's tough to get in there and get after it as it's one of those things that you can make do without. That being said, it's much nicer to have a working oven light than not. So if you can find the gumption to change out the light bulb, pop open the oven door and get after it. The first thing you want to do is take the securing wire and push or pull it off to the side. This is your first access point to getting this done. Be careful not to drop the glass that goes over it as you do. You can do this all with one hand no problem. So what you want to do is move the wire over while keeping some pressure on the glass and once the wire is pushed over, than sort of captivate and capture the glass. This will allow you to gain access to the light bulb. You will need a headlamp or flashlight for this job. Now take the existing light bulb and unscrew it. Now take your new one and screw it in.

Anyway, hope this little quick video helps you out. Good luck!

What's Inside? Alpha Brand Fog Machine Model F80Z-Full Disassembly and ...

See what's Inside this Alpha Brand Fog Machine Fogmaker Model F80Z. Full Disassembly and Internal Component Removal process. This particular fog maker was in a non-working status which was what lead to it's disassembly. The hope was to open it up and find something obvious wrong with it that could be repair but it would not be. Upon disassembly it was unclear why it wasn't working so the full disassembly continued. It was quite interesting to see what is actually inside a fog maker. The parts that come out are interesting. I believe the aluminum piece inside is some sort of rapid chiller and vaporizer.

All I needed to take this apart was mainly a cordless drill with a Phillips head bit.

Error Code P0411 and Air Recirculation Pump Repair

This error code was able to be fixed by using this method. This type of fix is not meant to be a long term or textbook fix. This is merely a short term band aid to get the error code to stop appearing. I had my music playing in the background while I was talking so I had to put music over the words in the video to avoid copyright issues. In this instance the case for the air circulation pump was leaking so it needed to be secured back together. In order to do this properly it would need to be removed. This is entirely possible, however, it would take a long time and a lot of effort. I decided to see what I could do to secure it in place. I first triad to use zip ties to secure the air circulation pump housing back together using zip ties. This didn't work the best because the zip ties' tensile strength wouldn't hold up during tightening. I decided to use some wire instead by cutting it into manageable lengths, running it through the hole, then tightening it down with a pair of hemostats. This took a long time and a lot of persistence but it worked and proved to be easier then pulling the whole thing out. The air circulation pump stayed together and the error code was reset. I did have to take it back into the auto parts store in order for the code to be removed as I had no code reading unit.

Project Source Brand Overhead Ceiling Light Fixture Installation-Model#0...

As homeowners and handymen we are always faced with having to do upgrades. It's crucial that us DIY technicians know how to handle these kids of tasks. Whether your a Mr. or Ms. Fix it kind of person, if you don't want to pay someone to do these kinds of DIY home electrical jobs than watch my videos on it. This one was a simple light fixture change out. I want to stress a couple of safety items here. First be sure the power is off. Second, be sure the power is off. Third, don't stand on something unsafe such as a slippery chair or bucket to reach up and perform this task. Get a ladder, get a voltage detector, turn off the breaker, turn off the switch, check for current.

Now open your new Project Source light fixture box and lay out all your new parts in an organized fashion. Unscrew the old mounting bracket. There are times when you don't have to do this when you get lucky and the existing mounting bracket will fit your new installation. After unscrewing then pull your wires down a little, inspect them and make sure they are good to go for your new installation. Next step is to reinstall your new mounting bracket into the recess. The same place from which you pulled the old one out. It's helpful to pre thread your screws into the metal mounting bracket as you will be installing this into the overhead. This goes for the little green ground wire screw as well. Using wire nuts, wire your new fixture to the house wiring accordingly. It's sometimes useful to pre-bend your grounding wire in a "U" shape to facilitate it's wrapping around the green ground screw.

Install your mounting screws and slip the new light fixture on them and then tighten. After securing the base part of the light to the ceiling via the mounting screws, go ahead and install the light bulbs. Now the center threaded rod gets installed. Don't worry about which side of the threaded rod goes in first because it bottoms out in the base, meaning, you can only thread it in so far until it stops. Now install the glass portion of your light and thread on the plastic washer, metal, washer and securing nut. Snug it up with a wrench. Not too tight, just snug. Now you can place your decorative cap and decorative end nut on. Now you're all set.

DIY Bath Showerhead Installation Tutorial "How To" Style Video

This "How TO" Step by Step Tutorial on replacing your bathroom shower head head shows you an easy beginner homeowner style process that you can do yourself without the headache or expense of calling someone else to do it for you. Follow along with me while I perform this DIY Bath Showerhead Installation Tutorial "How To" Style Video and you can get rid of that old showered in no time flat after you (or likely your wife) have picked out the ideal showered from the Lowe's, Home Depot, or other home/hardware store.

The first step is to turn off the main water supply. This is a great opportunity to locate your main water supply shut off to the house if you haven't found it already. You don't want to wait until there's a huge  flood from a burst pipe to attempt to locate your main shut off. Once you've secured your water at the main shut off valve you should go ahead and start carefully unthreading your old shower head. It's a really good idea to use two wrenches on this to apply counter torque as you don't want your connection inside the wall spinning. So ideally you would hold the elbow coming out of the wall completely still with slight torque in the tightening direction while you unthread your old shower head connection. Once you've carefully removed the old one now bust out your brand new one and get all your parts played out and pre-assembled as much as possible. Put some teflon tape on the end of the connection coming out of the wall. This will keep water from spraying all over the place when you turn it back on. Be sure your new shower head has the rubber gasket installed before threading it on. Now thread it on. Be sure your connections are tight and turn on the water supply. Good luck!

DIY How to Unclog a Bathroom Sink in Singapore

As a home dweller the chance of you having a clogged up drain are pretty good. The odds of having a clogged up drain go up the more people in the house you have. Once you have a clogged up drain and have procrastinated unclogging it long enough, you''ll be faced with two choices, DIY or all a professional. My thought is try to unclog it yourself and if you have no luck then it's time to call the pros and fork out some $$$. Follow along with me while I go through the process of a DIY How to Unclog a Bathroom Sink in Singapore. There are many ways to do this with household items but in many cases my trusty old pair of hemostats will do the trick. If you don't have them there are a number of household items that will do. Some of those are: A Wire Hanger.
Baking Soda and Vinegar. Mix baking soda with vinegar in a measuring cup, a Wet & Dry shop vacuum, Boiling Water, Cleaning the pipe, or caustic soda.
Another method commonly used is to use a clean plunger to plunge on the sink. The plunger method, however, will not serve you very well if there is a bunch of hair trapped around the drain. This works better if it's some debris caught down farther in the pipe. If the hemostat method doesn't work well for you from topside then it's a good idea to take apart your P-trap area.

Cambodia's Famous Pub Street in Siem Reap

Southeast Asia is notorious for street vendors and markets. It's part of the culture and for most, a way of life. Visiting Cambodia's pub street is a testament to the hard work ethic of the Cambodian people. Here you can find just about everything you are after in a market. In this area there are great tourist souvenirs for an affordable price, local food to eat, snacks, drinks, clothes, you name it There are things here that you won't see in many other places. There are bottled solutions (not sure if it's liquor) with cobra's in them, real taxiderm crocodiles, and upscale knock off brand ladies items. We really enjoyed the dried mangos, the lemongrass peanuts, and the cheap t-shirts. Located in Siem Reap you can eat all kinds of different types of foods here. The Mexican restaurants are even good. Expect to be pestered by the vendors but don't be offended or irritated as this is their means to making money. Similarly, don't feel rude by not acknowledging every solicitation during your peruse.

Cambodia Motorbike Adventure in Siem Reap

This was a great day out in Cambodia's countryside getting a peek at the local lifestyle with a knowledgeable and friendly tour guide named Slim. We did a full day trip and it was worth every penny. We covered a ton of area. If you like to ride motorbikes, this is the trip for you. The company does offer a dirt bike trip but this is a little more mellow as you cruise around on semi automatic Honda 150 motorbikes. We got to see how rice was grown and harvested, local farms, painters, blacksmithing, lakes, streams, orchards, red dirt quarries, eat local food, local drinks, and much more. When we were done we were left with smiles. If I ever come back, there is no question I'll be calling these guys for either a dirbike tour or multi-day mountain tour. One of the coolest things is also getting to see the hidden temples in the jungle. No crowds, no fees, yet still getting to experience setting foot on and exploring ancient ruins. We got to also visit a real life distillery on a farm where they also make rice whisky. It was also neat to see all of the water buffalo along the way. Riding motorbikes is fun in the states but this is really a topper being able to do so much exploring and sightseeing on them.

(Oh also, don't forget to tip your tour guide at the end of the day.)

We stopped for lunch at a nice and clean local resturaunt. Slim recommended I get the loke lock. I'm sure I'm spelling it wrong but it was delicious.

I want to say that we didn't decide to do this until the last minute and Mr Po Hay made last minute arrangements to pick us up and get us outfitted with helmets and bikes.

Once we were done he gave us free beers then drove us back to our hotel. Wow. Top notch.

Mr. Po Hay is incredibly warm and friendly. 100% recommend you and your family call him. You will thank me later=). Here's his info.

All you need is a  cordless drill or screwdriver with the correct size Allen head (hex head) bit. I believe the kit comes with a little metal Allen wrench if you don't have one. This is a simple one person assembly. I recommend you get a nice flat surface to work from whether that be your kitchen table, work bench, or even sitting on the floor.

Khmer Mansion Residence in Siem Reap Cambodia

Our week long stay at Khmer Mansion Residence in Siem Reap Cambodia was an amazing experience. They really went the extra mile with absolutely everything. When we arrived at the airport and got out VISA on arrival, we were greeted by  Chovey's friendly face just outside the terminal in the pick up area. She was holding up a Khmer mansion sign with our name printed on it. She patiently waited longer while we got our SIM cards for our phones. The driver then loaded up our suitcases. During the brief trip from the airport to the hotel Chovey  gave us a run down on what to do locally as well as some historical facts. Once we arrived we were given some tasty drinks to sip as well as refreshing cold towels while we went over a few things and our luggage was taken to our room. After paperwork was signed and reviewed we were shown to our room. The elevator had an uplifting scent of lemongrass. Upon entry into our room we were pleasantly surprised to see that they had our names spelled out on the beds with carefully placed lettering made from reeds. The room was very spacious and the refrigerator stocked with water and other beverages.  The balcony overlooking the pool and small courtyard area was relaxing as well. We had coffee out there every morning. We were also able to take morning walks around the city and over to pub street every morning from mansion. Here's pub street: https://youtu.be/FGVR34lh7YM.

There were also tuk tuks (don't know if I spelled that right) readily available across the street to take us anywhere we wanted to go around Siem Reap. Breakfast was complimentary every morning. The kitchen/diner folks were amazingly gracious with customer service like no other. Breakfast started at 6 and then went to 10:-00 which was very nice because this gave you the choice of either sleeping in or eating when you return from an early morning walk. It was very nice because there was a breakfast buffet with a nice variety and also a full menu from which to order from. The menu was wonderful and I don't think there is a bad item on there. They would seat us every day, take our orders, make us nice latte's, and prepare the food quickly. The dinner here was amazing as well. We were served a complimentary 4 course dinner one night. I ordered room service dinner a couple times as well. They made a very good loke lock. I'm sure I'm spelling that one wrong as well but it was my favorite Cambodian dish. We were able to take one of the best tours we've ever taken. It was an all day tour riding motorcycles across the countryside. We were also able to have scooters delivered right to the hotel on two separate occasions. These were great to ride around and see the city as well. Our overall experience here was outstanding. I highly recommend this place if you ever visit Siem Reap.
