Re: What non automotive projects and repairs are you doing?

Part of the great bamboo war is to cut down the largest bamboo stalks (as large as 2 inch diameter) and many dead trees. This made a running chain saw necessary. I have had an old Homelite XL chain saw for many years. In recent years it has run poorly. Over time I have gathered a couple similar Hom...

Re: THE CORRECT WAY TO REPLACE THE J HOSE ON A XC70

BlackBart wrote: 23 Jun 2023, 12:15 Thanks. So all XC70s have this system? I should take a look under there. Is this a common problem? Is it a high mileage thing?

Re: I guess I’m going to call him “Leo”

Thank you for the photos. O'Leo has Art Deco feel to it -- colors are classic for that period!

Re: I guess I’m going to call him “Leo”

Well, I bit the bullet and bought a new gas tank last Friday. I installed it tonight. While I was working on the car last week running it in the garage, it ran out of gas at a half a tank. I took a look in the old tank after I got it off and it indeed did not have a pickup tube running from the out...

Re: What non automotive projects and repairs are you doing?

Removing English Ivy is easier than Creeping Charlie. This is your best time to put down a mix of cool season grass seeds ; starter fertilizer, the temps, moisture, and light rain will help it germinate just right.

Re: What non automotive projects and repairs are you doing?

Lawn projects are slowing down; overnight temps are hovering around low 50s, but awesome day time temps. I'll upgrade from 40 years old TIMCO to WILLIAMS top-vented wall heater.

I don't follow much of what you wrote, but I think it would come together if I could see photos. Just a little request, don't take the time if you can't. :) Here is a picture ...
