    Vevor Hydraulic Top Link

    I’ve got a Vevor hydraulic top link, and honestly, for the price, it’s been solid so far. Fit and finish aren’t premium, but it works as advertised. I did have one question about fittings, and vevor customer service actually replied pretty quickly with the info I needed, which was a nice surprise.

    L5030 engine oil leak

    I’ve had good luck with Ryobi tools too, especially for jobs around the property. The 2300 psi Ryobi electric washer sounds perfect for cleaning the engine area so you can pinpoint the leak. Once it’s clean, check common spots like front crankshaft seal or valve cover gasket for seepage.

    Ford Maverick Pickup?

    From what I read, there are three cars to consider: Ford Maverick, Nissan Frontier, and Honda Ridgeline (maybe I missed other mentioned vehicles). I agree that all of them are worth checking out. The Maverick is great for fuel economy and versatility, the Frontier gives you a bit more bed space...

    Future of HVAC and industry supply issues.

    It’s wild how many high-end older homes still have minimal heating and no A/C, efficiency just wasn’t a priority back then. Modern buyers are often shocked at utility costs after moving in. I’ve seen folks drop $40–50k just to get a proper HVAC system in place. Recently talked to a good...

    Cataract surgery and Light Adjustable Lens

    Totally believe it. I had cataract surgery last year, and my BP was way higher than usual the morning of, even though I don’t have hypertension. Just the nerves alone can spike it. Through Pharmacy B2B connections, I’ve learned how common that is. Add a car accident, and it’s no wonder. Glad the...

    Barn heater-furnace

    I recently installed a suspended propane heater in my 40'x60' barn and ended up going with a Mr. Heater Big Maxx. It’s been rock‑solid and heats up the space fast. I had mine professionally hung and plumbed, and I highly recommend hiring someone experienced with propane units. Another brand...

    My well water is terrible. Should I just use pool water?

    Our well water is rough too, though not quite as extreme. I totally get why you’d consider using the pool as a buffer system. It’s actually a creative idea, especially with the off-gassing and sediment settling, but I’d be cautious. Pool chemicals, even at safe swimming levels, aren’t meant for...

    Anybody ever SELL a metal building?

    I was in the same boat last year. Stick-built was just too expensive, so I went with a metal building. After a lot of research, I ended up going with SteelMaster Buildings. Overall, the structure is solid and went up pretty smoothly once everything was delivered. If I had to do it again, I’d...

    20 inch chainsaw recommendation

    I’ve had good luck with the Kobalt 80V chainsaw. It’s technically an 18-inch bar, but it cuts like a beast—plenty of power for most jobs around the yard. Super easy to use and low maintenance. If you’re not set on gas, definitely consider it. Kobalt makes solid, reliable tools.

    Excellent product for repairing shovel handles etc.

    I do the same. Kobalt tools from Lowe’s are a great deal with that lifetime warranty. I’ve returned a couple broken ones and Lowe’s made it super easy, no questions asked. I should say, Lowe's return policy is one of the best. Just grab a new one off the shelf and you're good to go.

    Great point! Sunblock with zinc or titanium oxide offers solid protection, especially for sensitive skin.

    Heat Guns?

    If you’re open to alternatives, check out Grizzly Industrial too. They’ve surprised me with decent quality on some tools. Personally, I’d lean Milwaukee if you’ve already got the batteries. Cordless convenience matters, and resale value is better. That said, HF heat guns can work fine for...

    CBD/hemp oil, anybody use it?

    I've recently started using it for my insomnia. It works better than sleping pills. I love that it's natural and doesn't leave me feeling groggy the next day. I also did some research on a reputable Pharmacy B2B site before trying it to make sure it wouldn't interact with my other medications.
