Replacing Vacuum Hoses: 2002 Ford Escape XLT - What a Difference it Made!
Переглядів 107День тому
After I got stuck at work where the car would not start, yet when I towed it home I was never able to recreate the issue, John decided to look over some basic elements like my vacuum hoses. Lo and behold, they were all rotting! He shows how easy they were to replace, and I have to say the car is driving, accelerating and shifting so smoothly. I didn't realize how rough it was driving until now....

Awesome Apple Pie From Scratch - Perfect for Thanksgiving!

This may be John's favorite apple pie recipe to date - the butter crust is delicate and it has just enough sugar & spice in the apple mixture - not too sugary, letting the natural apple flavor take full stage. It probably helps that these were fresh picked apples - straight from the orchard and picked by us! It may be one of our longest videos, but well worth it if you want your entire pie to b...

Turn Your Basement Foundation Poles into the Best Cat Climbers
Переглядів 963 місяці тому
Those unsightly and annoying poles have an alternative benefit, besides holding up your house - they make perfect cat climbing poles. All you need is a little clothesline rope... OK, more like A LOT of clothesline rope. I would estimate our 6 foot poles require close to 200 ft of rope if you want the entire pole covered. But it's easy - all you need is rope, a glue gun and glue sticks.
Updated! Restore Car Trim - From Faded to Fabulous

The first time I used the Car Guys trim restorer. I liked it, but it was greasy/sticky - even after rubbing off the excess - and the restoration lasted about a season.

I like how it restored my trim better than Car Guys (btw, we DON'T get paid by either ...

Do you have a link for the grout file/remover tool?
This is the exact tool I used: www.amazon.com/Coitak-Angled-Pieces-Replacement-Cleaning/dp/B085R9S368/ref=sr_1_6?crid=HUNMHL8TKX5C&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.HEtVXGA-l_DXHfsjN_cRDLMGE5ZZ8iD5dtXGiesvZFBZX5ZXXVWxSfbkeUCwtpYv-Q3w-H6RLc5q3XjQYl1uWqVqEg1j98y3sKVMOB0jJUxTe0ntR1H-2E26izNKAyc-sHtynLi7IAlKIsICsXM_BDA8v56MHDi-moN0PUrEcfXB1m5StMDXDjxVv6CoZYga6oh-dmVkO_bYyk5Fdg6UwzyCUL9x6dzg0n8rl7svKqRY7IzTl2rO4JP0rLbZwQkIMaXGF_XKxUdi-onRbHcJ5bhbPI0m5eWyFB4VxO5Wjf2Bveligp3GmU4jsX_JuvyAyo8CCFFfnev28SSHOu6LXzSKKx5T_8iN0ZkFg1DQXx09lYKNxFtKC8hmzOH96do1p_GFx91tCkdS8QYyrF1AD17YxSiGWXKWEkXJ5rB1vAzFzOlJCyzoeBMjAsu0Z0Rp.gwmmBgF68HveQuZSOOyI46APCxvaxdeSpSVwXS2jlZw&dib_tag=se&keywords=grout+scraper+tool&qid=1735520623&sprefix=grout+scraper%2Caps%2C243&sr=8-6
1:16 minutes later, presto and it's time to eat! Okay though, where's the sort of Romesco Noodles side dish that can go along with it?? You might just be missing something in a meal that could help round out and extend such a meal! Well now I am a meat eater and within reason if I was not missing some of my teeth but heck now, surely there needs to be some sort of something to go along with it because folks just don't live on vegetables alone. OBTW, that type of cauliflower/broccoli hybrid does look good and most likely tastes even much better than just plain ole cauliflower, as I've never tried one of these although I am sure that I will here sometime soon. I may have seen a head of Cauliflower like this one in Aldi over the summer months in the past and so once I see them once again, I will surely try one out for overall giggles but what I must warn yahs, if it doesn't bring forth some a robust but tasteful flavor profile, that doesn't need a bunch of help with the use of this, that and the other, well, it just might not work out for me! A testament for this particular veggie would be whether a light steaming or the mere quick blanching in boiling water in the first instance coupled with some good grass fed sourced butter and if that head stands well on it's own and the flavor profile is right up there, exceeding ordinary cauliflower, well, I will be all in on buying even more of it! But now since I haven't heard a report back from John yet about how great this dish tastes, I am somewhat hesitant to just try this willy-nilly! It does look great over a regular head of Broccoli OR Cauliflower BUT the proof is in the pudding as it would also be helpful to know just how much the cost for a head of this variety, because I really don't think that a veggie like this one comes cheap. I honestly think that this could be used in a veggie casserole with great mushrooms and sausage bites or crumbles, plus some parmesan cheese sprinkled over top.
Craig, Merry Christmas! I suggest having it as a side to STEAK DIANE - which, btw, I'll be posting soon. You'll laugh, as I botched up the flambé aspect of the recipe, but it still turned out really tasty - and John cleaned his plate, not a morsel left. Wishing you a wonderful New Year!
@@diyduo_getyourfix Thank-You Folks and you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year too! I did finally find several Steak Diane recipes and often times the simpler preparation method while being able to use just one pan only is the way to go! But, it seems that none of those variations of Steak Dianne actually aligns with how my ex had prepared ours. She really knew how to make it very well! I am however interested in how you folks prepare yours to see whether it remotely has been done in the same manner! As they say often that it does not take rocket science to figure things out BUT it's only a matter of the technique in which it is done to achieve the best results: tender, morselful, some great veggies and mushrooms going on, having stir fried them right away, place aside temporarily, quickly pan seer your select cut of meat such as a 1/2 inch cut of rib eye cut or equivalent, pan seer right at 2 mins per side, make up a quick rue from your steak drippings and add some beef broth so as you have a good sauce going on, seasonings included, places the sauteed veggies and mushrooms back into the pan while evenly distributed, place the seared steak on top of all of those veggies etc, with lid on at med-low temp to reheat the ribeye; and so about 3 mins later take the lid off and plate it up! I do believe this is the method in which my Ex did it and damn was it ever good! When I had examined all of the other methods portrayed on YT and alike, it did NOT match the methods or seem to have the 1-2 knockout punch as should be and I was actually discouraged by their whole routines. Now, as for the veggies that my Wife were to use: yellow sweet spanish onions, red bell peppers, and of course some great button top mushrooms that were sauteed in butter. Season wise, I believe that she used some additional onion powder and garlic powder at some point during the veggies being piled back into the pan. While everything that was sauteed and eventually recombined with the sauce auju. When the already seared ribeye was place back in the pan, on top of the sauteed veggies and mushrooms with pan lid on; that 3 minutes as such with the sauces were allowed to gently steam or reheat the ribeye in no time flat. So yeah, I do believe that the preferred method would work for just about anybody! And the taste, along with the mighty meld of flavors and the tenderness of the ribeye is enough to knock the socks of just about anybody, barr none!! Let me know how yours turns out, doing it your way and I must warn yah's it is really damned good! It's just like getting your final reward for being an awesome cook! OBTW: Butter is key when cooking the entire recipe BUT you can also add a smidgin of OO in there as well! As a matter of fact, if you were to towel dry that ribeye a bit, so as to apply garlic butter directly to the meat itself before the pan seer, the flavor should actually intensify by huge leaps and bounds. AND if you are really good making this up on an outside grill, such as how well my son does, just think of the possibilities! I Know you Margarette to be an excellent cook so have at it and post the results, such as giving me a good smack up beside the head! I think that you will actually impress yourself just with only one shot at it! Just from your European Heritage alone, tells me that you come from a long line or lineage of great cooks! Years ago, I took great please going to Greek restaurant's but many of them had been sold off such as to make way for new hotels built etc and I sorely miss them! One of which was located on the Vestal Parkway in Vestal, N.Y. A morning routine OR sometimes for lunch back in 2013-2014 I would hit that place up like it was going out of style and their deserts in all categories could be described as to die for as well! I only know of only two restaurants left that are Greek owned, one that is solely breakfast and lunch and the other that is situated oh around 37 miles from me. So yeah, I know how you are and basically how you cook and it is indeed marvelous! It used to be that there was around 9 Greek restaurants within the Tri-Cities Area of upstate N.Y. to include 3 others enroute up towards the Adirondacks Region. In one form or another when my Sweetie was still alive up until 2015, we would make it a point to hit each and every one of them. These were places that we absolutely knew that we'd get fantastic meals! We still however have one Greek restaurant that I believe is still a full operation breakfast, lunch and dinner that is called the Blue Moon! I haven't been at that one for going on ten years though! .
@@craigtegeler4677 Your version sounds absolutely delicious! The one I followed is pretty much my favorite chef Emeril Lagasse - with a few tweaks here and there. Emeril does add his own touches, and so you'll probably find it more complicated than necessary (especially the part where we failed flambé school - sounds like it has no business in your version at all!), but all in all it was great. Look for it to go live Jan 10th. I'll certainly take another simpler try at it... I'll look for a more "traditional" recipe... sometimes that means consulting "old" cookbooks like Mama Leone's... Anyway, I hope you enjoy our kitchen antics - it was fun trying to cook something I never even heard of before we connected. Happy New Year!
@@diyduo_getyourfix One thing that I did fail to mention when searing the ribeye is that it doesn't have to be the kind of heat that you would see as in with commercial kitchens and prominent restaurants. Essentially the heat level that perhaps everybody to strive for is perhaps a pan temperature of maybe 340-350 Fahrenheit instead for three reasons: 1.) A scorching event that is really not necessary to begin with. 2.) By scorching the meat you can induce carcinogenic effects that can be most harmful. 3.) Utilizing the ultra high heat is not really necessary and can also do damage to your cookware! So, a happy medium/balance would be as I might have suggested earlier AND not exceeding the rating of your cookware to start with! You might even be surprised that during the searing phase it may not even require a whole 2 minutes per side based on that 1/2" cut of ribeye be it that ribeye is sort of delicate and you can overcook this cut of meat and have it turn out to look and turn out like shoe leather! The type of searing that should take place is the a browning effect that does NOT leave the meat getting scorched, a browning that is by far the best! Oh BTW, the target doneness is actually medium rare and that is by far the most juicy, tender in color, texture and absolute best ever! Make no mistake about this! Once you cook down the surface of the meat by about 1/8th of an inch on both sides, bacteria, and microbes just tend to cease! Furthermore, the meat should be able to set out at room temperature for at least 2 hours to warm up ahead of the searing and in that time period of the first hour, pat it dry and smother it with garlic butter, herbs & seasonings and recover the meat with saran wrap. The gradual warming of the meat towards room temperature means the world of success rate as to how things will turn out that will afford you the very best outcome, no bs, but instead the best turnout if ever imagined!! The gradual warm up will also insure that the meat will sear faster and that any bacterial or microbes present, may it be through handling or otherwise will be eradicated period! The searing action will also help seal the meat such as to help lock in the juices and flavor like no other too! Under ordinary practices may it be done on an outside grill or on the stovetop, just as it is plated up, you MUST allow for the meat to be able to come to rest without cutting into it. In other words, regardless if it is a roast OR a steak, especially with your expensive cuts of steak, even stuff like a bird that come out of the oven; you must allow for the meat to rest for a period of time in order to allow the juices and moisture to be retained and juicy like no other! By most standards, we are talking around anywhere of 5-15 minutes dependent on what it is that you are cooking, baking and yes even stuff like smoked turkey! This can mean all the difference in the world as to your outcome and is celebrated as some of the best chef's in the world. So people are aware of such cooking secrets whereas some just are not but I'm here to tell you not all secrets are shared and for what reason, I just don't know! My father In-law absolute knew how to take the cheapest cuts of meat and roasts and make them turn out to be like biting into a million bucks and this man was not a chef mind you! Some of his know did however did rub off onto my Ex Wife and not with the rest of her 6 siblings. The same sort of cooking that my own mother bestowed had even excelled beyond what my own father could do and he actually attended culinary school in NYC and both of them having ran a restaurant for 22 years. Some good know how is some of the best key areas to tackle and make for great outcomes and if I lying, I dying so as they say! Trade secrets or crafting secrets are not always shared in it's entirety and sometimes us ordinary folks may not be privy to the great stuff that happens in some of the test kitchens and world renowned restaurants. Another mistake that people seem to make time and again is to buy an expensive cut of meat only to turn around and throw it into the freezer. That's a no-no! When buying an expensive cut of meat, you can place it into the fridge for up to 2-3 days but then cook it up with the preferred method and for the most part NOT suffer any ill effects, but instead be able to enjoy such good cooking turnouts. By freezing that meat, it dries out the meat and changes it's complex structure that could otherwise contribute to once AGAIN turning out as shoe leather! I hope this helps out to be a new found but prime cooking experience that just works no matter what!! I have yet another tidbit of info coming in my next send-off that just might surprise you and all other folks that come by and visit, perhaps today if not on the 2nd of the new year.
Most important this is making sure radiator is level or condensate will cause problems, I find this a lot.
100%! We actually had to shim a few of our larger radiators to prevent that awful knocking!
I've been through this BS twice man. I can't believe that Amazon get's away with selling this trash lol. Everyone is complaining about this.
That's why Marguerite wants OEM whenever possible - going Amazon/aftermarket is really rolling the dice on quality and longevity. Looking back on this, we probably should have ordered the OEM lights that were for sale on eBay - I just didn't want to wait for them.
Lol that salt sure doesn't help very much huh?

orilles auto parts 28$ after tax ill get that over the 110$ any day it's just a check valve and filter not any sensor
Totally fine and you saved $$$, and that's what we're all about. Marguerite suffers from OEM OCD, so most of the time we go that route when it's available and won't cost a fortune. I will say for certain things we find going OEM is definitely worth it, because knock-off versions may require jerry-rigging. Glad this worked for you and you saved big!

You are welcome! If you have a cave cricket problem, this does the trick!
Raid iatro not rad iator
I have this exact fridge and it is trash
We have gotten used to it - there are a few things they could have certainly done better: first the door that perpetually stays open is just silly, second, no ability to raise the fridge from the floor - the bottom shelves sit way too low, and third not having an additional shelf for the freezer - you have buy separately. Our old fridge lasted 30 years, let's see how many years we get out of these new models...
A couple things. Not all air vents have a temperature adjustment; many don't. Also use Teflon tape when putting them in. Last thing....the valve MUST be open on steam, you are correct. But the opening is smaller than you'd imagine. Sometimes the gaskets can be the impediment and the actual valve is the issue. Changing them might be done by a boiler guy.
Thanks for sharing all those great tips!
Great demo on how to clean heater core + radiator. I noticed they put florescent green coolant instead of pinkish dexcool !!!
Yes, Nicky chose "regular" antifreeze as opposed to Dexcool, but there's lots of discussion on which is the "right" coolant to use, depending on your radiator and engine/vehicle. So far so good, with Nick's car - but we recommend, especially if you don't have an older car that still has its standard radiator/heater core in place, research which is the best coolant to use for your situation.
@diyduo_getyourfix I have a 98 chevy blazer 4×4 LS. With original heater core. I still use dexcool.
@@sar9907 We are definitely not experts on these various coolants, so if you can advise viewers on the differences and when to use which type, please feel free to post!
Where did you get the replacement soap dish?!

Джипът ти има въздух в системата, поради тази причина радиатора ти текна и продължават да излизат мехурчета. Това може и да е гарнитура на главите. Поздрави от България.
Поздрави от Ню Йорк - и благодаря, че гледахте нашето видео! Нашите прекрасни съседи, които живеят до нас, са от България и ни разказват за вашата прекрасна страна през цялото време! Прав си за въздуха в системата, който по-късно във видеото показваме как Джон обезвъздушава охладителната система. Трябваше да смени радиатора, защото беше оригинален (от 2002 г.!) и получи дупка... късметлии сме, че оригиналът издържа повече от 20 години, но нищо не е вечно. Той се надява, че закупуването на изцяло алуминиева версия ще издържи още 20!
It's funny how I clicked the thumbs up button and it wouldn't even register as the first thumbs up and I think that youboob is stealing your approval ratings and you views! Margarette, you have absolutely nailed it on those pies of yours and that surely is the most prominent way of method of making apple pie by far and our elders knew positively how to make them. My Grandmother however used lard for the crust barrier in the pie dish overall. That lard taste would have been kind of hard to get used to and although i would not complain about it because my Granny was tops in my book! My Ma's favorite apples to use was granny smith and macoune apples but now one time when I was to have my Ma over for a Sunday dinner I tasked my Ex to make a pie consisting of the very same apples PLUS yet another type of apple of which I have forgotten since this was back in 2003-2004. I also requested that my Ex would use 1/2 of the sugar that the recipe would call for, but to also add one small packet of saccharin, since my Ma was diabetic and so the pie recipe really worked out quite nicely without having the so called aftertaste. My wife had used around a tablespoon of lemon juice I believe AND to be sure that the pie had not only great zing to it, but a good hefty dose of cinnamon across the most upper layer of the pie filling. To be a good pie maker in the home calls for a well disciplined person just like yourself Margarette! I know this only because your are always true to your word and you always stick to your plan of attack! This is how great apple pies are made and I can just about smell that aroma of those pies of yours some 130 miles away from you! Job well done and also say hi to John for me! You are a great couple and you make things happen on a daily basis!
Thanks for being our #1 fan, Craig. I agree the lard makes the flakiest crust - my 88 year old neighbor who grew up in Germany would use nothing else... I just can't use it because of how unhealthy it really is - not that butter is much better... but it is a little better and makes the crust taste buttery, which I like. I'm sorry that you're having a hard time hitting like -that's crazy! And it seems stealing views and even channels is happening quite frequently - just happened to our dear friend and awesome fitness trainer cdornerfitness. Check out her channel - she is live every day at 9am and sets each week as a routine to follow. Let us know who is trying to do that to us - there is a way to report it to UA-cam. And I know you've been waiting, but a Steak Diane recipe will be coming soon - we have to get past Thanksgiving!
What do you think about this Steak Diane recipe?... www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ree-drummond/steak-diane-11154875
In the middle of the split of the 2 pieces. There is a screw hole as well as a gap. did it come with any hardware to seal that section ? Previous old Cowls had sat flush with each other unlike the new cowl that was put on.
Great catch - even though the cowls came straight from Ford, that gap is a difference between the new ones and the originals. The new cowls did not come with any extra hardware, but that's not a problem - the holes where the fasteners go still lined up correctly, so both are sitting flush and creating the proper seal against the windshield. We are going to guess that the gap between the cowls is the result of the parts being manufactured who knows where - probably China where there is little to no quality control. But it's great that you caught that and pointed it out, if there's a gap in the OEM versions, who knows what you might get with aftermarket versions.
Here it is about 09:45 in the morning, while I'm trying to choke down some raisin brand cereal and watching your video! So, I must also say that while watching the video, I am also salivating over the thought of those luscious looking peppers at the same time! Hi Margarete and John! Well, it's ben nearly a year now since I've had some good stuffed peppers and I positively know that I am well overdue! Also while watching the video, what was going through my mind was of how my Ma would oven bake up such things like Salmon Loaf and Stewed Tomato Loaf in her corning glassware 10"X5" as we were growing up and to think that not all that many people do these sorts of things hardly anymore! When Ma did her stuffed green peppers, she used ground chuck, onions and minute rice with the tomato paste, That meal had also come with a large restaurant sized "twice baked" baked potatoes with Crowley's Sour Cream with Chives of course (every time) and without fail! Yeah, those were the days and I can still remember that all of your Old Time Diners could serve that same kind of meals and up till now may only something that is reserved in the past! There are not that many diners that are still left and remain in business to really speak of! I can also remember a time when I would pop a question to the waitstaff as to whether they have a cook that can panfry some calves' liver without making it tough and/or stringy and/or burnt!! My method is essentially called my 2 1/2 -3 minute liver! Not this liver dipped into flour before being stuck into the pan oil either! If you have a chef or fry cook that can make a good run of it while having that liver done up with pan sautéed in butter OR butter and olive oil 50/50, and have it come out tender, juicy and flavorful and NOT tough/ scorched/burnt and those great looking caramelized pan fried onions in butter though, just a looking right up at yah from the plate. Now what you might no know of me is that often over the years would have preference of having my liver and onions over having a good steak and that is because if it is done right and you sit down to it, it's like having tons of morsels and nutrients that many steaks can only begin to have! If you've never had it before OR don't even like it, may I suggest that you get yourself programed and you cooking techniques down pat for this type of treat, because once it is done right and actually take a good seat at the table, I am telling yah's that this can actually be like having a real treat, and a delicacy at that! What you have to remember is these; tender lean 3/8" to 1/2" cuts of calves' liver, from the frozen section of the store is fine! when you thaw this liver, thaw it in a cold water bath while checking on it until ice crystals form. You should have your medium sized cast iron pan at the ready and with preheated REAL olive oil and REAL grass fed butter 50/50, preheated to around 325 degrees and so once the Spanish sweet onions are caramelized for effect, then proceed to get that liver in the pan pronto! Just 1.5 minutes per side and out of the pan it comes! One and done! While cooking the liver on the first side, if you are really paying attention, is that the blood will surface to the top side of the meat. This actually tells you that it is time to turn the meat and cook the second side for the same amount of time and get it outta there onto a hot dinner plate for to be served, with those caramelized onions and mushrooms if you so desire as well of course!!
Ridiculous! Everything nowadays is made to break down quickly 😡Waste of our money and worse, the planet!😡
So true! Do you remember how long rubber bands used to last? Now even those snap within a month!
Thanks, for sharing
You're welcome!
Looks yummy, Marguerite! I love watching Lydia cook too so I don’t mind you looking like her!
Thanks so much Tara! Now that it's getting cooler, I'll be doing more cooking!
Easy and simple thanks for sharing New subscriber here ✅👍
Thank you so much! We appreciate your support, and more fixes and recipes are coming!
Do you recall if the 2 pin power/ground connector could be disconnected without removing the module?
You probably can, but it's easier to get to if you remove the module.
Just soak it in vinegar.
That can certainly get rid of crud buildup. Great suggestion!
Nice
Wow, this was the most helpful video I’ve seen so far while trying to learn how to make brown hair color. What exactly is the brown hair powder? I thought there was just henna powder and indigo. Is it a combo of the two? Also, are you still coloring your hair this way? It looks so time consuming, but I don’t like all the harsh chemicals in regular hair color, especially ethanolamine. Your coloring turned out really well!
Thank you! To be honest, I don't know how this company makes their shades - which they do offer quite a few. I never actually looked, but the Henna Guys have a website, and I've used their chat - they usually get back with answers in a day: www.thehennaguys.com
You guys are a great team!
Nick and John work really well together - so well that I often have to slow them down and backtrack them so that viewers can follow along!
8 mm .for bolts
Cool to have your wife a mechanic to .
Thanks but John is the true mechanic - I'm a true hack! I ask a lot of questions, just in case there are people like me who would like to learn and understand.
Great DIY video. Loosing the drivers side handle was genuinely the most important part. Never would gotten bulb cover off. There just wasn't enough space to move bulb cover for it to pull out. Thanks
Awesome, thanks for letting us know this helped you!
How long did it take to set?
We let it set overnight, just to be safe.
Looks good and I like that you showed us your tools you used. Thank you! I am ready to remove mine for a niche..😊
Great, glad this helped, please let us know how it goes for you!
While I don't know if this will work, although with ants what would not leave my ginger alone, I use dry and spray wet too a solution of the mixture 1 part baking soda and 1 part sugar, so I don't know if you can perhaps locate a hose attachment, and spray often like watering plants and water your tree placing some dry at the base in containers and or sprinkle directly on the ground if it will take a hit on them??
Worth a try for sure - thanks for the tip. While the weather cools off, that and my vigilance is reducing the number of them... I suspect they'll die off or burrow somewhere for the winter (hopefully not my tree)... so I'm sure we'll pick this back up again in the spring!
Thanks DIY Duo 😊 One video I watched, they released fuel pressure from fuel rail through Schrader valve. 😮 Remember that God loves you 🙂
I just did two schwinn approved tires like yours. Theyre made in china and wound up inside a box. They lacked everything that schwinn used to stand for. The new Schwinn innertubes were about 2 inches too big. I wound up using lots of talc( now corn starch) to make the tubes slide into place with less problems. What a major headache compared to the 1970s tires and tubes. The only thing they had in common were the colors.
Yeah, we feel your pain. It drives us nuts that barely anything is made in the US and quality is beyond sub par. We try whenever possible to buy US produced, but it's not easy in a lot of cases.
Can you replace with a used one ? If so, do you have to program it ?
At this point you will only be able to purchase a refurbished module. You will not have to program it, your steps will be pretty much exactly what you see John and Nick doing in this video.
Thanks for doing this! Great performance!Now I know what to detail my Frontier truck bumper with.
Glad you found this helpful. I would say we're into the 2nd month of applying Cerakote's trim restorer and I still like the results... if your truck has more trim than the Escape, I suggest buying 2 boxes. I felt like I needed at least 2 more wipes to completely do the job. I skipped the roof rack entirely and felt I could have touched up a few spots on the front and back as well.
I have naturally copper hair but I use henna to cover greys and make it pop. I use 75 grams of henna, 75 grams of cassia obovata, and a half teaspoon of aloe vera powder. I then mix it with chamomile tea and a squeeze of lemon juice. I have very thick hair that goes past my shoulders and this is enough to cover my hair completely without having any leftovers. It's easier to apply on freshly washed, still damp hair (without conditioner). I then rinse it out using a "mermaid bath" (I fill a tub with water and stick my hair inside, massaging until most of the henna is gone, then jump in the shower and rinse out the rest).
That sounds fantastic! Does the aloe vera powder provide a level of softness? If so, I'm going to give that a try!
John I'm sorry but this woman is making you look like such a fool. Next time leave her out of the video. And no I am not a male. I am a female who has deep respect for my husband, and I would NEVER belittle my husband or try to correct him while he's working IN FRONT OF PEOPLE How embarrassing... JOHN NEEDS TO THINK FOR HIMSELF JOHN YOUR WIFE NEEDS TO LET YOU USE YOUR BRAIN ALL ALONE I bet you can't do anything in your home ever without your WIFE telling you what to do or how you're doing it wrong n how her way is better. Right John? Poor John... Smh ....
You could have shortened the video: if you would have made video WITHOUT the woman in background talking and interrupting so much. She's soo annoying. LADY IF YOU KNOW HOW TO DO ALL THIS THEN WHY DIDNT YOU MAKE THE VIDEO ALONE! BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY NOBODY WANTS TO SEE A SUPER LONG VIDEO WITH SO MUCH TALKING ON HOW TO FIX SOMETHING ON THEIR VEHICLE. WE WANT A SHORT TO THE POINT VIDEO WHILE WE ARE DOING IT. GOSH!
Thanks for your feedback - we are looking for that balance between demonstrating, conversing and having some fun banter at the same time. We are looking to get better with each video we do.
I would be trying to find out what attracts lantern flies more so than maple trees and baits those suckers, such as to either poison them or find means of electrocution to get rid of them entirely. That sugar maple is so damned leggy that it's mere survival is questionable to start with. In my mind, somehow the growth of the tree strictly upwards as opposed to growing outwards by means of some heft in diameter should be what is needed. Me, personally, I would lop some of that height off and that should stimulate that tree to grow into girth and more branches so that it can take in more available sun for photosynthesis and be able to convert the food from the ground soil into energy to produce better tree health. What is terribly wrong with the picture of a spindly maple that is NOT competing with other trees such as with trying to obtain sun to begin with and this to me is quite alarming to begin with. Though maples in general are known for strength, this phenomenon that I see and the approximate age, this just doesn't look right to me because of it's current diameter which appears to be around 3" and so few branches to speak of. Check in with a local arborist by means of making a phone call and ask this person as to whether the right move to lop off the top portion, while leaving sufficient height, based on the age and current height based on the current number of branches and see what kind of recommend- ations you get. If you are most willing to keep this tree around and not have it to then later in life pose a threat of falling on your house later on, well this too would be my choice too. With the last wicked storm that passed through my county and locale, which was a month ago, many folks were inundated with some very serious damages to their properties, mine being one of them. There was a black locust tree, about 14 inch diameter towards the bottom trunk of the tree and it's height thus neighboring 45 feet tall and a root ball around 7 feet got pushed over like nobody's business, but when this happened, it took two other trees with it and damaged my massive maple by side swiping it clear down one side of it. This type of damages incurred was as of direct side line driven winds of in excess of 60 mph plus along with horrendous rain also being sideline driven rain moving completely horizontal and my own eyes told me that I was not deceived, not one bit! The winds at that time were absolutely damned scarry, and I had not witnessed this over at least 35 years while living in this county. It was reported thereafter that there was indeed 13 tornadoes spotted over I want to say over an approximate 100 mile near linear pathway through our region. The tree(s) removal and clean up estimate came in at 8-10 hours with a crew of 5 people and the estimate was between $6-7K, I'm here to tell you. One tree top smacked my newer addition while another tree of was completely slumped over the main structure yet towering some 10 feet up off the roof line and the biggest culprit that took down the other 2 trees, squashed the top of my 8X10 ft. metal tool shed. Yeah, that metal tool shed that I reinforced the inside of it for snow loads basically held up to approximately 900 lbs of pure smashing power of that Black Locust tree when it toppled. Though the roof is buckled and slightly mangled, it did survive only to look like crap and was still standing because the tree did come to rest completely over my toolshed on it's left side top from the rear forward to the front. Bare in mind this tree stood approximately 45 feet tall and the diameter towards it's base was 14 inch plus in diameter. Had my shed been sitting on a concrete slab instead of being palletized, it would have been a total goner for sure, but at least I still might be able to salvage it because metal shed are not so cheap anymore like back in 2006. That palletized base helped absorb some of that immense crushing power/blow and shock!
Craig, they are like the new plague over here. Our local news just had a segment, and this woman a few towns over had a tree that was completely covered in them... probably because she hasn't been after them like we are. I'm up to killing at least 50 a day from that tree. Our understanding is they hitched a ride on pallets coming from China, hopped off at the ports and steadily made their way up here. They like the smooth bark - I notice they don't bother with the oak trees in the front. I'm hearing they are also after the grapevines at the wineries out east... no natural predator here - except me. Regarding our skinny little sugar maple, here's the back story: there used to be a beautiful cherry tree back there that got eaten from the inside out, so we took it down and our pest control guy (we have BAD carpenter ants) is also an arborist who told us unless we're going to religiously spray the fruit tree, they will be bored into and eaten. We don't use chemicals on our property (hence why our lawn is 1/4 weeds) because of the animals, so... I bought a sugar maple from the National Arbor Day Foundation. They sent me a 3ft twig about 3 winters ago... and that's what you see now. It ended up splitting into two equal sized trunks, and I didn't want a "v" shaped tree, so I lopped the one growing sideways and kept the one growing straight. I'm hoping this starts to fill out soon - but these lantern flies are a huge concern. The news gave no useful information (does it ever, anymore?), so I'll be doing more research on these pests. Don't be surprised if you see us posting more about them as I learn. I can't believe what happened with your trees and shed - but once again your ingenuity saved the day! You should consider starting your own DIY channel!
Great job 👏👏👏 she's a natural lanternfly stomper 😃 hope we can see her doing it again 🙏
Thank you - this is my daily ritual until winter. I pretty much do this 3x a day - the infestation this year is unbelievable. Apparently Sugar Maples are one of their favorite trees to attack.
@diyduo_getyourfix Well it's keeping you busy then. That's dedication there doing it 3x a day 👏👏👏 I'd love you to keep me updated on your progress 😃 thank you
@@jaybay9944 Just stomping away - it's funny our local news station just had a piece on how invasive they have become in our county - but no good advice on how to get rid of them other then stomp on them when you see them. They have no natural predators here... except me, it seems.
You'd think they'd get the hint by now, not to be climbing your tree 😅 surely you must be seeing less by now? Shame there's no natural predators where you are 😏 but watching that vid of you stomping them it seemed like you were having fun 😅😂
Hydro boost off of an 84’ Grand National would have been awesome. I lost the fuse on my powermaster and that was enough to ditch it ….. went with the old vacuum set up.
I know a number of people who went that route and should work fine!
2005 ford escape with some electrical problems, so the battery dies on me every 6 months or so. When it died this time my hood was stuck. This video was graced upon me 3 weeks since that happened. Thank you very much!!!!!!!!!
I am so glad this helped you! Good luck with your electrical problems - they can be pesky. Let us know if you figured out what's causing it - I'm sure it's bound to happen to us sooner or later...
P.S. never lube the inside of a spark plug wrench.
The narrator is annoying, the mechanic is good 👍
Eric, I try to make our videos conversational - I suppose you'd like less unnecessary commentary... thanks for the feedback, we are trying to make these helpful to the masses. And yes, John is a GREAT backyard mechanic - thanks for the compliment!
How do I determine my replacement? Mine looks just like yours, could you share the amazon link?
