I have cable, phone and internet thru Charter right now. Every 6 to 12 months they increase the price for us "older" members. And they increase it without telling you before hand. Today I got my bill and it went from $132 and change to $177 and change per month. That is what a house payment...

So, I had replaced my back door with a new steel entry door with a window which opens and a screen. It was from Menards. (<---ya, I know...this may be my big mistake) About the same time I had a new furnace put in and added a new heat duct to the basement. The door in question is right at...

So last Monday at work I slipped on some snow / ice and "tweaked" my left knee. It has gotten bad enough I cannot keep pressure on it for more than 10 seconds or so. Walking is a treat. :( I cannot stand long either. My opposite leg / knee is getting over worked. So...the DR is scheduling...

I have been thinking of getting a home video Surveillance system. Searching locally has been a waste of time. Searching the internet is overwhelming. If you have a system what make, model do you have and what pros and cons are there to look for. Just a little info of what I want: - 3 or 4...

Well...I have to be honest and say that the construction company leveled most of the piles for me, but I have 30 hours in doing some fine tuning of sorts. (it's not perfect and there are maybe thousands of rocks to pick up in the spring) I left about 4 piles there so I could do more after the...

In a thread where I posted I got my new T1510 NH, I mentioned a water project here in the neighborhood. Here are some snapshots of the granite that they had to blast and are removing from my hill. I figured guys with tractors would love the dirt work. Here is a view down the hill. Here is...

I am hoping to put a couple of hooks on my FEL. I was going to weld on 2 of the 3/8 grab hooks. I searched and read many posts about positioning, sizing, beefing up the top of the bucket, etc. I saw a couple of posts suggesting that they voided their warranty by adding hooks to the FEL. :eek...

Well, there is a sewer and water project going on in my neighborhood. the contractor was trucking old fill about 10 miles to dispose of it and I offered up the end of my 5 acres for them to dump it in. It is about 4 blocks away from the physical project so it saves him money on fuel. The...

I had a local contractor replace a crumbling basement wall. In order to do that they had to move a set of pre-cast concrete steps to dig out the ground. They needed a large John Deere back hoe. Well the wall is back and the hole back filled and the steps are back. But...they put the steps...

Well...I shoulda seen it coming When they delivered it last Thursday it kept dying out when no one was in the seat and the brake was set and in neutral. The thing would die and the beeper would beep About 8 or 9 times. :smiley_aafz: The dealer's delivery guy was on the phone to their...
