Chair Spindle Repair
There are a number of TH-cam videos on repairing a broken chair back spindle. I've watched several of them and none of them uses the technique I developed here. This was a very solid chair and all glue joints were tight, so there was no need to try to take the chair apart for this one repair.

Concrete arrival at small residential sites with winding driveways strikes fear in the heart of homeowner and contractor. The trucks are bigger than ever, even bigger than just 25 years ago. But truck and driver from Ready Mix Concrete in Durham, NC negotiated the cramped quarters like a ballerina, not even breaking a limb on low hanging trees. Skilled and courteous delivery.

John Carroll in Durham, North Carolina started a hand excavation project in his crawlspace under his house several years ago. It has turned into an impressive project. In his spare time John is single-handedly turning his crawlspace into a full size basement. As of spring, 2011, John had dug out and removed over 8,000 five-gallon buckets of clay. He is building a first class "new" foundation un...

    That's funny you actually kept count of how many buckets (10 gallons each)..8, 100 holy crap! I've been removing excess gravel out of my 300 sq. ft. crawl space so i can be able to crawl under the duct work, and I decided not to keep count..but I think I've done about 40 buckets so far..I been dumping it behind my garage and when I'm done, I dump 2 full buckets into a wheel barrow and than dump it. I'll contact some kind of construction company to come scoop it out of my driveway after I wheel barrow it out, which I think would be about 20 - 30 wheel barrow trips, sure not easy. I don't know why the guy that built the addition decided to put any gravel at all inside the crawlspace, when it got wet (and it did) from seepage and or hydrostatic pressure, I don't think it had any benefit to moisture problems. Seems that the best fill would be stuff that is absorbant, such as peat moss, maybe mix it with some lime powder, since mine was overfilled, I am shooting at getting it level with the ground outside so I don't get issues with flooding. I already had one corner of it effected by poor land grading which I've worked on a bit too. Anyway, wanting a to convert a crawlspace into a basement so badly that you'd dig it out manually, all one can say is "wow"..and hope you eventually are happy with how the project went and it didn't end up with seepage issues. I understand why a basement is better than a crawlspace but if it is already built one way I think it would be more economical to move.

    Most mechanically inclined people like a challenge. Heres a challenge for the poster of this video and George Newton, and anyone who thinks they can do it. DESIGN a simple Water Ram Pump that can be placed at the "Point of use" instead of being placed at the bottom of the ram pipe. IN other words, the ram pump would be located many meters above the source of water. NOTE: I know it can be done - I have designed it. I just want to know if anyone else is capable of this type of design. NOTE #2: this is not "Fishing" for a great idea to commercialize. You can be sure of that because the market for RAM PUMPS is so small it is difficult to find even one customer to buy one!

Also I have an abandoned well that a previous home owner filled in with dirt, bottles and cans. I have been excavating my well, like you, one five gallon bucket at a time. Most people don't understand why I want to save this well but I want it for my garden. Thanks.

    Too much shade on the panels. I would cut down trees if I had too. Any shade or clouds drastically reduces output. Even aircraft chem trails have a negative affect. I use 1920 watts of panel to power one submersible well pump, The pump uses about 1,000 watts constantly and I run it 6-8 hours a day, pumping ten gallons a minute. It supplies all the water for two homes and I flood my garden areas constantly!
