    Propane BBQ Grill Repair question

    Thanks all. I have removed all the valve assemblies and cleaned them. The problem is I hear gas flowing very well, but it doesn’t light more than one burner. Once one turns on, the first one shuts off. I will try to clean them all up again.

    Propane BBQ Grill Repair question

    I have an all stainless steel Ducane (Was made by Weber, discontinued) 3 burner BBQ grill. I like the all stainless look (even the sides are stainless).

    Flagstone Patio pitched slightly towards house and water collects

    Is my only option to rip it all out and re-lay it? It’s in cement. I bought a pool cover water pump but it doesn’t turn on until there’s an inch Or more of water. Any other ideas? Thanks.

    Advice on trimming out this door

    I had to install a new basement door. The old door was for a 2”x4” opening; the new door (I had it) is for a 2”x6” opening. I made it flush on the outside because I might finish the basement one far and figure I could frame and Sheetrock flush to the door. But for now I want to trim this out...

    Transducer plug won’t stay in back of unit

    This is a Garmin Stryker plus 7sv. There are three plugs in the back. The power stays in well. The middle one ok. The last one for the transducer will not stay in at all. I tried to lightly close the four small female connectors inside the rubber boot to see if they helped but it didn’t. Garmin...

    Andersen windows. Trying to get creative here.

    Andersen windows. Trying to get creative here.

    Not exactly technical but... I have Andersen casement windows in my house and the window handle is made of an arm and a knob that gets pressed into the end. For some reason, I’m missing the knobs in about ten windows. Not a big deal but I want to fix them. The replacement sells for $7 online...

    Generac Generator 17kw Guardian Series- runs constantly

    Thanks! I do have three fuses. I bought new one (3 for $25- wow!) and will kill power to the transfer switch and swap all three out. Hope that does it!. I do have a question however- what could have caused the fuse to blow in the first place? Should I be looking for a more fundamental...
