    How do I get the heat OUTSIDE to come INSIDE?!?!?

    Well, if there was a paint that we could flip a switch to go from black in Winter to white in Summer, then ya, that might work great! Otherwise we'll be in trouble for 1/2 the year. :)

    Backyard Canopy / Shade / Cover / Pergola: Build or Buy

    Too funny! The cover on our canopy got to the point where it was falling apart, so I needed to replace it. I got a tarp at costco and it barely lasted 1 year. So I jumped on the internet and searched for replacement tops. The prices were high and I thought I'd try to see how much I paid at...

    Family Tradition - HomeMade Freezer Plum Jam

    We don't have very many traditions in our family, so I think it makes this one even more special.

    Family Tradition - HomeMade Freezer Plum Jam

    This has been a family tradition since 1973ish? When I was a kid I was doing this exact same thing with my family using plumbs from the same tree & using the same equipment, including the custom sharpened pit removing tools my dad made! The pitters aren't anything super fancy, but...

    Checkup - Spam Levels Seem To Have Dropped

    :( Sorry, you shouldn't have gotten any infraction points for that. They should be erased now. Thanks for reporting the spammers. While there's no way to 100% eliminate them, we catch about 99% of the attempts before they even post... which means tens of thousands of attempts per month!

    Checkup - Spam Levels Seem To Have Dropped

    We've been on this new platform for a few months and I thought I'd do a quick check to see if y'all echo my feelings... One of the many reasons we moved to this platform is because it has much better anti-spam features. We'll never be able to 100% get rid of spammers (there's always going to be...

    Your learning style?

    Good point about friends, etc. I think it definitely helps if it feels that the person has a genuine interest in you personally learning from what they are sharing. I'm definitely a multi-media learner. Video is easiest for me, then audio books, then reading. In fact, I've gone through...

    Car Headlight Plastic Cleaning - Haze Fogging Yellow Removal

    The headlights on my 2001 Hyundai Elantra are sickly opaque! :sick Over the years I've tried a bunch of stuff to clean them. Some have worked better than others, but nothing seemed to really clean them super well and/or last very long. Today I had another go at it and thought I'd start...

    Re-purposing a Toaster Oven (shop uses)

    Totally off-topic: I removed that spammer and the post that was earlier in this thread. In the future, don't hesitate to report suspicious posts, especially if it's a first time poster with links in their posts.

    So frustrated! Sewer line overflow

    We have tree roots that get into our old terracotta sewer line every year and block the line and we have to get it rotor rooted out. We've thought about replacing the line, but then we stopped having problems as often. We had the plumber that usually roots our line come by to help with a toilet...
