I primarily build and repair houses, but I am a little bit of a shade tree mechanic. My wife's car is a wonderful Volvo XC90 that was made in Sweden in 2004. Do you want to know how to check the transmission fluid level on your XC90? Read on. The other day, I noticed a […]
I took the following photos on February 21, 2015, at the top of my drive. I live in Meredith, NH which is in the geographic center of the state. Before we go any further, realize I was born and raised in Cincinnati, OH living there for 55 years. The snow is deeper south of me […]
My wife Kathy and I love Amazon.com. We've come to TRUST them as a great company. We buy lots of stuff from Amazon.com. We know our UPS driver on a first name basis he's here so often! This was so important, that it was mentioned in the February 22, 2015 AsktheBuilder Weekend Alert Newsletter. We […]
I've never driven a snowmobile on flat land much less up a steep mountain. What do you think the average snowmobile weighs? It's got to be 500 pounds or more. What you're going to see in the video below will blow your mind. My guess is the angle of the chute in that mountain is […]

Here's a quirky song you may like. Perhaps the most famous song by The Outfield, one you'll recognize immediately, is Your Love. This was linked from the February 12, 2015 Newsletter.
Tim shows you the before and DURING of the epic January 27, 2015 blizzard (Winter Storm Juno) that's pummeling the Northeast USA. Video posted: 9:30 a.m. ET January 27, 2015
David Cox has a drone with a GoPro camera on it. He's also got a leak in his wood-framed chimney. Even though the shot could have been a little closer in this video below, it only took me about three seconds to locate the problem. This is an EXCELLENT example of how technology can help […]
