DYI Headboards

The price of headboards are soaring. Although many are cleverly designed and aestically appealing the product does not necessarily justify the pricing. With a little work you can accomplish the same look and style. Afterall in one episode of Martha Stewart, Martha proved that anyone with desire could achieve this simple task choosing the exact color and design you want. Although not Martha, the couple in the videos below do a pretty good job at explaining the project.

Free 411 Service With Free Business Connect By Google

The Googler does it again. Dial 1-800-GOOG-411 and google will connect you to the business free of charge. I've tried the service a few times now and just as promised I was connected to business immediately after it was located. There was one small brief announcement of the sponsor but I was not bothered by that. When you first dial you will be asked for the city and state or zipcode, you will provide the information verbally or by touch pad. The system was able to locate cities verbally so there was no need to use the touchpad for this information. When providing the business name it is best to touchpad when it is an unusual business name, however the speech recognition system was able to locate common name businesses for example the Post Office quite easily. I found the service to be effective and convenient.

Not quite the Googler, but if you want to earn money everytime your phone rings check out the following. Everytime your number is dialed, the party dialing will here a brief 10 second sponsored message. The company then pays you a portion of the sponsored ad revenue. There are no fees to be a part of the program.

My Dog Smells Like Cornchips! I Can't Take it!!!

For weeks we wondered why our dog smelled like the factory of Frito Lay Corn Chips. At first we thought it could just be old man funk and so we bathed him endlessly to no avail. A couple of days after bathing him the smell returned. It was clear he did not need another bath. We decided to get right down to it and started to smell him until we found the source of the cornchips. To our surprise the rambunctious smell was coming from his inner ears. We clean his ears thouroughly with soap and water. It was fantastic for a few days. This time about 5 days and no smell. It was as though he was back to normal. We thought we were on to something thinking he just needed a little general hygiene and he would be fine. Well that went on for a few weeks cleaning every 5 days or so. Then we finally found our match by applying peroxide to a swab of cotton and gently applying. The cornchip smell went away instantly. We think the peroxide counteracted an infection. My dog was happy and so were we! At last, it was back to hugging my dog!

2000 Unofficial Uses of WD40

Believe it or not WD-40 has almost 2000 unofficial uses. For example, a few days ago my car locks were sticking and I almost made a service call when a friend said that we should try applying WD-40. They recommended removing the interior panels and applying spray in the lock chamber then waiting 10 minutes or so. Well we didn’t have the guts to remove the panels so we used the straw shaped spray nozzle and placed it down into the actual locks and gave a good spray. We waited several minutes and the locks restored to it’s original function. It’s been several days now and there have been no problems with the keypad-controlled locks. I certainly don’t recommend this to everyone, as it is always better to consult your vehicle’s manual or a professional for your specific model and make. On the other hand, for those who enjoy exploring see the full list of nearly 2000 unofficial uses at the following website. There are 6 categories to include home/garden, car/truck, on the job, garage/workshop, sports/recreation and other. Use at your own risk. See the resource links below for the website and other related items.

DYI Plumbing When the Plunger Doesn't Work

Save your dollars before calling the plumber.

Try this 4th grade science trick.

Place several spoons of baking soda in your drain. Add a a few drops of vinegar and immediately stop the sink. Wait for 5 minutes. You may here rumbling which is a good sign that you've created force of pressure. Then pour boiling hot water down the drain.

This only works if there is no other liquid in the drain. If you have a double sink and one sink is clear, pour the baking soda vinegar mixture in that drain. Start small and move to the bigger projects.
