There has been a number of reports of problems with carbon monoxide seeping into homes during/after hurricane Ida from whole house generators in the New Orleans area. It seems that the CO entered the homes through the soffits. This occurred even though this units were installed according to...

UPDATE Wakey, my dad was NOPD also. He retired in the mid 60s then later worked for the Criminal Sheriff's Office. You and Talleyho have it right on the Danzinger shootings. I was "lucky". My major damage was that the siding was ripped off the South side wall above the brick line. The...

I am just North of Covington. Ida took out the power at 5:25 PM. I have most of my family here. We are fine until the propane runs out. Norman

I recently tried to change some CDs in my 2008 Titan CD player. The CD player stopped working and now the CD button only flashes and the radio continues to play. Questions: 1. Has anyone dealt with this problem in a Nissan or any other vehicle? 2. Is it a "dealer only" fix? Expensive...

I have been cooking jambalaya for quite a while; mostly for charity events. I used to make it from scratch, but that became expensive and time consuming. Now, I use a mix call "Jambalaya Girl". It is a local product (New Orleans area) and I don't know how far they distribute it. It has all the...

I am not sure which forum is the best, so I double posted - sorry for any confusion. I have a CT 225 BobCat tractor (same as Kioti???). It is 9 years old and only lightly used. I was moving some fallen branches and made several trips to the burn pile. I stopped tractor to load the loader and...

I recently bought a Harbor Freight small solar light ($18.00?). I have a shed that is about 200 ft. from my house. I set it up last weekend. I was going to aim it outwards to light the way to the shed, but decided to face it towards the door to light the lock. It was an easy install (it would...

Maybe the CPAs/accountants can chime-in. I have a freezer and a microwave that are going/gone. They are only 7 years old. They are high end models. I have a repairman coming out next week ($95 just to say hello). At what price point would you replace rather than repair - 40%, 50%, 60%, or? Norman

I am thinking about cutting the cord and dropping my Uverse TV subscription. They keep raising the fees. I am looking at Roku as a replacement. I only watch about 10/12 channels - local news, PBS, Fox News (and Business), Military, Food/Cooking, AMC, TNT, Old movies. I don't have any pay...

I have a Bobcat CT225 that is about 7 yrs. old. It has done everything I needed from the day I got it until last weekend. Then, it did nothing; no start, no "click", no gauge movement - nothing. The battery (original) has been going, going, going, but with a charge did it's job. In fact, after a...

I have a small (5' X 8') trailer that I use to carry my lawn mower. The tires are 4.80 X 12. One of the tires is low but I can't find the recommended tire pressure. Does anyone know the correct pressure? Thanks, Norman

I am thinking about adding a winch to the front of my small trailer in case I need to get my lawnmower on if the motor fails and I need to bring it to the shop. I would appreciate any photos and details how you added one to your trailer.Thanks Norman

Yesterday, my '08 Titan would not start. Turn the key and - nothing. It must be the battery! Clean connections and terminals. Put charger on until it reads "charged" - battery shows 13.4 volts. Turn key - clicking, no start . Put charger back on until it reads "charged" - battery reads 13.8...

Living in S.E. ,you live with the threat of storms. However, Isaac was the first (very) near miss at my new house and property. It was not a big storm by our normal standards (think Betsy, Camille, Katrina, Rita, etc), but it moved so slow that it cause widespread power outages and flooding. I...
