How to Stop Birds from Building Nests, and Pooping around your House and Cars.
Просмотров 130 тыс.Год назад
This is how I stopped birds from building nests, and pooping around our house, porch, outdoor patio furniture, car mirrors, hanging plants, pots, and wreaths. I use blue plastic grocery bags to keep birds from nesting in my ceiling fan light fixture and front door wreaths. This would also work in places like your lean-to and under your deck.

How to Heal Cracked or Split Fingertips.
Просмотров 2,9 тыс.Год назад
I use Cyanoacrylate (CA glue) (Super Glue) to keep the split covered and closed. I apply it one time - and I'm done. It seals it closed for days and gives it time to heal. No pain. No mess. No bandages. No Neosporin. No ointments. No more hurting. I can continue to work and the crack will not reopen - and I won't get any more dirt in it. Wintertime dryness. Won't heal? Here is my treatment. Hom...

How to re-bond broken old plastic parts. Better than glue.
Просмотров 989Год назад
I’ve used Methyl Ethyl Keytone (MEK) to fix old broken plastic with great success. If it is the right type of plastic - this is better than glue, and better than epoxy. It melts the old plastic and then when it dries, it produces a molecular bond. I’ve used this on my Arrow Ball Clocks, on my Toyota 4Runner roof rack covers, and many other things.

    I love your tutorials & explanations! I wish my Dad could have done this for me, thank goodness for RUclips & you! I love learning all these great tidbits! Also, thank you for your thorough & gentle nature. My Dad wasn't naturally patient & he disliked fixing things or teaching his kids fix-it skills. He started any project with a disorganized mess & soon thereafter there'd be much grouchiness & angry barking of orders like (get me this tool, or that thinga-ma-jig). Usually, us kids/helpers were confused & we didn't understand which tool he wanted nor what the tool's proper names were. Not many things got properly fixed around our house. I've learned so much from skilled men like yourself on how to be my own handywoman!🩷

      Hello. For the purposes I use it for it appears to be as strong as the original piece. But I don't think I would trust it for the weight of a person. Plus, if that plastic is old and brittle enough that it cracked once - It's going to crack again in some other place. Rick

    I spoke with Speed Queen last Friday. 5/24/24. They sent me an email on a fix. They are telling me it’s a build up of soap on the drain wall. I tried the vinegar with no luck. Their next option was to use fabric softener, which I normally do not do. But I was willing to try anything at this point. My machine is only 1 year old. It’s been going on long enough that my floor linoleum has separated where it was glued together under the washer. I just did not discover it until 3 weeks ago. To my SURPRISE the fabric softener worked. I am still going to run 2 cups of vinegar through my machine with HOT water once a month as the tech said this is just good maintenance for washer. When using the perm press or delicate cycle I am having no issues due to the LOW spin cycle I am sure. Hope this helps some of you!

      Thanks so much for the answer direct from the ppl who know. I’ve just noticed this problem. I’ve been seeing a little water on the floor with no idea where it came from until I watched a cycle all the way through. I hadn’t seen the foam with our old garbage washer (that died at five years old) and figured it had something to do with Speed Queen being a commercial washer-strong spin, etc. I’m willing to change my practices for a good, durable machine, so I’ll follow this advice.

    Thank you for taking the time to explain everything. I’m going to do the same thing. Everyone says “don’t do it” but videos like yours help convince me it’s the way to go.

      Hi Ken. You’re welcome. In my opinion, and experience, you need to get contractor grade fabric, and then perform all the little extra things I do that most other people don't do. I did this 20 years ago at our last house and when we moved 17 years later - those beds still looked great with no issues. Thank you for leaving a comment.

    My problem is with a neighbor i don't know who but i live in a predominantly Hispanic city and they love their birds, specifically the dirtiest birds in my opinion on the planet, yes I'm speaking of pigeons. Every damn day around five pm he lets them loose, they fly over my driveway, two weeks ago i was working on my car, i had a jacket on when al of a sudden, plop, right on my left shoulder, the next day again while doing a brake job on my car, i was sitting on the driveway when once again, plop, right on my pants,, im an animal lover mainly cats but I'd like to get a bb dispenser and no more sky rats, i don't have a garage and my driveway is for only one vehicle, i have my truck parked on the street and overhead are the wires o every description, phone power etc, the perch on the wires and my truck gets it, i can't cover my truck because we have resident parking before we had stickers now the parking authority switched to a lisense plate reader on their car so they need to see the vehicle, i was told that you can't legally cover a vehicle parked on the street anyway.

      Hello. I'm sorry they don't have them. If you need just the o-rings, I suggest you take the entire assembly to a hardware store and see if you can match the o-rings one-by-one. Rick

    I have a bird nest in a flower pot. The flowers are fake. A stray cat has already disturbed the bird nest. I will definitely try the blue bag

    Thank you! I’ve been going crazy with robins in the spring not letting me out in my own space bc they’re protecting their nests. I appreciate this solution.

    For the past month, I've been wrapping a toy snake around my car mirror when it's parked in my driveway .It has been working wonders for my bird poop problem! It really keeps the birds away

    I live in North Idaho and I just moved into a newly constructed home and I've got starlings that have nested in my vents. I am having a guy take care of it for me. I've done some research and when I put the vent overs over the vents that need to open, like the dryer vent I'm going to put shiny curly ribbon on them so they can blow in the wind. I read they don't like shiny things that move around. They also suggested a CD because it's reflective. I really enjoyed your video and I'm curious why the blue bag works. Let's try to find the answer.
