EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

It's not rocket science (as you guys know). If there is no-one to help with such jobs - you just learn to do it yourself.

Yes, I am grateful to the guys that have explained repairs to me. It’s saved me a lot of $$. Though sometimes I just can’t seem to tackle a job. As simple as I am sure this is, I’m not brave enough to do it.

I went almost a year without hot water in the bathroom sink. I hired a guy that fixed it for a whole two weeks (but he was cheap). A member walked me through the repair after another six months or so. I was then able to repair the kitchen sink a year after the bathroom.

You are so much braver than you think

Don't feel like the Lone Ranger, Hon; it happens to guys, as well. I can't begin to tell you how many jobs I've put off 'cause I'd never done them & couldn't afford to spend extra money trying to fix it after I screwed it up, only to find out that the job wasn't nearly as bad as I thought.
You ever get the weed whacker running?

I hope so.

No. The fuel line was rotted. I bought a new one.
The push mower is shot. I need to replace that. The riding mower was making funny noises. I’m not sure what to do about that. After everything last year to get it running again, I am hoping that it will sound normal when I start it up again.

It was easier to get a whole new light. Nothing was broken on the old one, but the bulbs are hard to find, and it is more cost-effective to have a new light with LED bulbs. I did not go with a $10 one. That was just way too cheap! This one was clearanced, nice looking and bright enough. $17!

Best of all, it turns on a soon as I flip the switch! For decades the other one only turned on if you played with the switch. I figured out quickly to tap the bulb to get it to come on. My husband put three new lights up in the old house. I have no idea why he never tried to fix the one in this house.

My sister is putting in an electric fence for her dogs. She is thinking about chickens, and pondered putting the collars on them too. Want chicken for dinner? Punt them into the next yard!

Hopefully, you ran it 'til it ran out of gas after you used it the last time. If not, it may start after a little spritz (technical jargon for not much ) of starting fluid into the carburator..underneath the air filter.
What kind of noise was it making? Could you tell whether it was coming from the engine?

 

[BullChick]

No idea now.
