  5. Interesting post. I like it, I have an opinion. Do they have centers for disadvantaged kids in your area? It would be neat if you would go to the center and just spend a day or 2 just hanging out. take a piece of leather and a bit of thread and needle with you. see who is interested Maybe you could change the kids life

  13. The manufacture coated over the threads, so the screws do not fit I need to chase the threads with a tap. [clean the threads] But have no idea what the thread size is I have been told a guesstamate of 4 40 size. Does anyone know what the thread size is for the screws that hold a belt tip on the belt?
  14. Thanks Fred, Yes we are okj, I keep a2 month food supply on hand. we learned during Katrina to keep stocked up for emergency. the only thing we were short on was gas, The scoundrel's from Louisiana are driving to MS to buy gas. due to their power being down. So. gas is hard to find

  16. When I was in the Philippines the flies were very bad. I had a 1 gallon glass jar on the table with sugar water inside of it. The jar is deep enough so you can put the lid on it before they fly out. We also had re-up bull frogs who roamed around eating flies.

  18. canvas is ok, have you tried pleather? i use it as a liner at 6 dollars for 18sq ft. i find it worth it
  19. you said some idiot knocked a new hole in the old tank at a lower elevation? That tank is now useless, unless you can water tite seal the hole the idiot knocked in the tank. it is going to leak.. Leaking means the foundation under the tank will wash out and it will settle again..
  20. Sorry Jane. I am a Master plumber, This is my advice, have your local plumber: replace pipe from the house to the tank and replace tank cut the exit line out of the tank install a 90 degree elbow on the line going to the leach field add a 5' pipe to the elbow sticking straight up into the air fill the pipe with water and time the amount of time it takes for the water to leave the pipe hopefully your drain field is not saturated, but if the pipe is not draining, replace the field over dig the hole under the new tank. by 24'' add moist sand, water the sand with a hose, it will compact it set the new tank on a compacted sand bed NO LESS THAN 12""
  21. I used to do that. Now, I just grab a bit of scrap rub some rouge on it and strop my blade I have used both sides and can not come to a conclusion that one is better than the other
