    Dim light under cabinet

    in Mechanical & Technical Tips

    Posted

    One of my under cabinet touch led lights comes on but is dim. Anyone else had this experience?

    All the other lights (touch or switch) work properly.

    Thanks! Headed to Florida for a few weeks and found this while packing. It’s certainly not going to keep us from finding warmer weather!

    Camera Wiring Route

    in Ollie Modifications

    Posted

    I recently dove into this thinking I had a problem with the wiring to the camera. To find the junction you are looking for, I had to remove the hard divider by unscrewing the 2 lag screws.  My insulation pulled down easy and went back in place just as easy.

     

    As it turned out for me, my antenna had fallen off and I had no real problem. But, the dogwood beside my parking space did! It’s much stubbier now.

    The little things that matter

    Ha! I finally get to contribute. 

    I have no idea how much these cost as my sis-in-law makes these. But, I'm sure they are under the $20 limit by at least $19.50. The secret is the type of thread. I assume it's some type of polyester but it makes a great scrub pad. 

    This scrub pad has become the center of my wife's dishwashing system. First, she goes for a walk. While she's gone, I use a paper towel to scrape any loose stuff off the dishes. Then, I simply put a dot of Dawn Liquid Soap on the pad as shown and scrub each dish. I scrub then sort/stack the soapy dishes in the sink by size; largest on the bottom silverware on top. As I'm washing, I frequently rinse the scrub pad and re-apply a dot of Dawn. 

    Rinsing is done in groups over the other dishes and scrubbing with a clean pad. In other words, I rinse the silverware in one bundle of running water, the saucers, plates then any cookware last.

    This saves lots of water and of course uses very little soap. 

    The pad is loosely woven and the "thread" doesn't hold water or food debris like a sponge. It washes clean with very little water. This was one of the first she did - she since added a loop at my request. I think they are crocheted? I'll try to get the name of the hairy thread material. 

    My wife really enjoys this because when she gets back from her walk, the dishes are clean, dried and put away.

    Hello from East Tennessee

    Welcome! We Tennesseans really need to recruit harder. The Texans are outnumbering  us!

    Enjoy you new life in your new Ollie! Also, if you’ve been following the forum, you realize it’s a great place to learn and get answers.
     

    By the way, worked closely with a lot of folks @ TDEC so I’m sure we know a lot of the same people.

    Similar enough issue that I thought I'd add to this thread. 

    We got stuck inside this week with big storms and streamed a series over our phone from Netflix. With about 2 minutes left in each episode, the sound completely stops. If you let it run, it starts back at the next episode. Remembering this thread, I played the sound thru the head unit and noticed it cut out when there was no speaking.  

    All of this to say you're on the right track with the conversion of the signal from digital to analog being the problem. Any deeper than that and I have no clue 

    Tips on draining holding tanks???

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I think raising the front is a must; not excessively but just a bit higher. Then, second most important item for us is a clear elbow in the line so we can do the dump/flush/dump sequence until the water is clear.  For daily treatment, we use some calgon  and borax in the tanks.  Finally, it does take patience to make sure everything is drained. After the first couple of times, we have had no issues

    If you want chain motels, 2 possibilities exist 45 to 50 minutes away:

    I-40 exit 172 in Dickson, TN

    I-65 exit 46 outside Columbia, TN

    For those coming from the west, a cornucopia of chain hotels exist in Jackson, TN  (I-40 exit 80). It's possible to get to Hohenwald in 90 minutes from Jackson (i.e. the morning of your visit).
