Building the Shop - Part 38 - Having Our Milled Lumber Grading
In this episode, "Building the Shop - Part 38 - Having Our Milled Lumber Grading" we got all or lumber graded.
The process was smooth and fast.
My only complaint is that I should have had more lumber cut just to fill the time!
If you do this, cut a few hundred boards to have graded as the process only take a few seconds per board and there is a daily minimum charge so you might as well get your money's worth.

    I replaced the sensor and it's still not running right and then shuts off and that over heating message on the guages comes back on again. I did notice one of the two wires on theback of the connector was off so I pushed it back in and I connected it back to the sensor. What do I do next? Do you think the problem is with the connector? I need some help.

      @alfonsoramos5597 21 день тому

      @LivingtheNorthernLife I reset it but it came back. Let me explain. I replaced the sensor and when I was going to place back the connector I noticed one of the two wires in the back had been pulled out. I don't know If I did that when I was trying to remove the connector from the sensor. I don't know if that could've been the original problem or if I did that. We, ll I peeled back the plastic, twisted the copper wires and made it pointy. Then I pushed into the tiny hole in the back of the connector and pulled back a little to make sure was secure in there. Then I put back everything and Like I said I reset the code and started the engine. I start ok the a couple of seconds after that it started rattling and that code came back and it started sputtering and when I pressed on the gas it turned off. First thing I thought to myself is that the connector is bad. Well I ordered it and I thought it was going to arrive today but it wasn't in my mailbox. Maybe it will get here tomorrow. Well, when I get it I'm going to splice it and connect it to the sensor and see if that was the solution. I will keep you posted. Do you have anything in mind something else it could other than what I've done?

We are capturing all the work that we did and for the past 2 weeks we haven't been able to get back to this at all due to poor weather. I normally work on this on Saturdays and now I'm trying to get there after work as well but I have to drive an hour and can only work for about an hour before the sun is gone. Our schedule was to release video's only on Sunday mornings but have sped that up and now release on Wednesday's at 6pm and Sunday mornings at 5:30am. We have very little to record during our winter months so producing content is much more difficult which is way we have a release schedule.

    I'm replacing the lows in our '17 Escape for the second time tomorrow. I used the same Phillips bulbs as the video author the last time since I've usually had much better luck with them then the OE Sylvanias. The Phipps 9005 bulbs have been a terrible choice with very little low beam light. I'm going back to the Sylvanias as they, according to the Rock Auto site are a Ford 'special' - which I doubt but they cannot be any worse. I can hardly wait to do the lights in my '19 F150 - NOT!

    Yes get the reservoir out of the way. The front clip will slide up easily but not the back. I took the front loose first then used a long, thin pry bar and, using the adjacent motor mount bracket as a fulcrum, gently pushed upwards (on the back connection) while rocking reservoir back and forth with my other hand... it popped right up, easy peasey. I can not imagine trying to do the passenger side without getting the reservoir out of the way first.

    My mother in law has one of these and not only has the navigation/entertainment computer went to complete shit. Its blowing headlights every six months. Meanwhile my 24year old truck has had the same bulbs for about 7 years when i only changed them because i went with aftermarket headlights so i put new bulbs in them. And my 74 stingray vette has had the same bulbs since the early 90's. It amazes me how much worse the new stuff is.. its such a shame.

      I totally agree with you and yet it's still not the worst car we've ever owned. That would be a 1997 Dodge Intrepid. The absolute worst car we've ever owned by far. Thanks for watching and commenting! Andrew

      Sorry to hear that. Do you have R-1234 in your AC? This video isn’t about a how to, only to show the connection is different from others. What information were you looking for? Andrew

    Is this the 2.0? I just had this issue on a 2019. Out of nowhere it gave me the overheat warning and the car went into limp mode. I parked it for 30 mins or more and the temperature gauge would not move off hot. I had a code reader so I thought maybe if I clear the code it will move the gauge back to normal and lo and behold that’s what happened! I would have needed a tow truck if I did not have the scan tool. I’m really beginning to hate this vehicle and I think it’s going to turn into a money pit. It is so hard to work on because of how everything is crammed in there. It’s the worst Ford I have ever owned. I’ve been driving Fords all my life and I’m thinking I should switch brands but I have a feeling that everything these days is made similar to this. They have it designed such that most people have no other choice but go to the dealer. A parts guy at the dealer told me that his buddy had to change headlight bulbs on a Focus and it was going to cost like $700-800 to do it as the entire front bumper has to come off just to do that. The guy did it himself and it took him the entire weekend to get it done! Manufacturers should not be allowed to do this crap!

      We have a 1.5L. This vehicle is really terrible. We are considering, for the first time, switching to a Toyota. I agree with everything you said. We have replaced the passenger side low beam bulb 4x now. We’re going to try LED’s to see if that “fixes” the issue but WOW! What a lemon.

      @@newfie-dean5803 It's all done for money making. I'll bet you dealers lobby the big corporation to convince the to make it almost impossible for the lau perspn to fix their own car. Well, let me tell you what I've done so far and you know now that you mention it. I never did get try erasing the code before I started working on it. Maybe I could've erased the code. Maybe not. Look this is what I've done so far. I reset it but it came back. Let me explain. I replaced the sensor and when I was going to place back the connector I noticed one of the two wires in the back had been pulled out. I don't know If I did that when I was trying to remove the connector from the sensor. I don't know if that could've been the original problem or if I did that. We, ll I peeled back the plastic, twisted the copper wires and made it pointy. Then I pushed into the tiny hole in the back of the connector and pulled back a little to make sure was secure in there. Then I put back everything and Like I said I reset the code and started the engine. I start ok the a couple of seconds after that it started rattling and that code came back and it started sputtering and when I pressed on the gas it turned off. First thing I thought to myself is that the connector is bad. Well I ordered it and I thought it was going to arrive today but it wasn't in my mailbox. Maybe it will get here tomorrow. Well, when I get it I'm going to splice it and connect it to the sensor and see if that was the solution. I will keep you posted. Do you have anything in mind something else it could other than what I've done?

      @@alfonsoramos5597 I had that issue and so many other drivability problems for about 2 months. Random codes, serious power loss, etc. Then all of a sudden everything fixed itself. I did replace the T-bolt that connects the positive battery cable and I did notice the vacuum boost pump connection seemed a bit loose so I wiggled that around a bit. I would not be surprised if Ford did something to the car through the FordPass app to try to force me into the dealer. In today’s world, this could happen. It’s been over 3 months and all has been good since. It’s great when a car fixes itself!

    I know this is random but i Have question Andrew , i watched your video to clean out /replace my nevian flow sensor . I followed instructions but now my flow sensor is leaking out the bottom ? I did replace the o ring , but maybe i used the wrong size or should i be using a regular rubber washer on that part ? I do have the pipe clip on , but it’s still seeping out ? Any suggestions ? I only rinsed the old one out and put that back on. My new one won’t be here for another week . Thought it would hold out until then . 🫤

      I can only offer you my opinion but I would look for a crack in it, it could be worn out or not put back correctly. The new one has to be the exact size or it won’t fit correctly. I replaced mine a year or two prior buy i ordered the whole O-Ring kit for mine. They were all labeled and was easy to get the correct one. Andrew
