Appreciate Your Clear Direction! THANK YOU
Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate it
Please don’t leave food or water near the cat house. It can easily attract predators like raccoons, other cats, possums, etc.
We don't. We put the cat shelters under the deck and the food remained on the deck for some possums that would stop by.
Could the dam be placed on the other side of the shower door? Hard for my door to swing in.
Unfortunately, I think it would simply fill up with water and make the problem worse if it were placed on the inside. I don't know if you have two doors like I do but if you do you could place the dam on the door with the leaking problem and use the other door. Simply leave the door with the dam alone and don't use it. If you don't have two doors I can't think of a way to make a dam work in your situation. I hope you are able to figure something out. I know how frustrating this is.
I’m thinking on houses where you can’t get the vinyl siding anymore, one could charge big bucks to fix it like this?
Hi, Jerry. I think you are right. There's a business opportunity.
It’s wild, I watched and commented on thus 2 years ago, and couldn’t resist watching again, lol
Hi, Jerry. Thanks for stopping by and commenting again.

Hi, do you sell these? I live in the UK and would be interested if you do?
Sorry, but I do not sell these.

Vinyl siding is junk!
Perhaps you've had bad luck with it, but we put ours on in 1999 and it still looks good. Just visited here to find how to fix holes from a satellite dish that was affixed to the house.
Finally a video from a person that focuses on detail like I do. Great job bud
Thanks for your kind comment.
I think this is awesome. I am going to try this as my neighbors dog bark incessantly. What size is the white wire ?
Thanks for your comment. The wire was some I had lying around so the size wasn't labeled. It looks to be about a 12-gauge wire. Good luck with your project.

Hello, thanks for sharing, we had a hail attack recently,I need to fix some holes and cracks. However, this all purpose putty is not available in Canada, is there any alternatives that can do the same?
Hi, Jason. You are welcome. Apparently Bondo All-purpose Putty is no longer available. I haven't personally used J-B Weld Multi-Purpose Putty but I have seen a couple of reviews that say it is similar to, and works as well as, Bondo All-purpose Putty. The J-B Weld Multi-Purpose Putty doesn't say it can be used on plastic but I saw an Amazon review where the guy said he used it to repair his vinyl siding. If you try it please let us know how it works. You can get the J-B Weld Multi-Purpose Putty here amzn.to/4cmXYlN

I just shredded my pto belt trying to mow through some super thick stuff. Can anybody tell me if the S version uses the same pto belt as the other Cub Cadet 48 inch decks?

It does seem that even in the States Bondo all-purpose putty has been discontinued. Has anyone found the JB weld product to be as good? I'm concerned that whereas the Bondo description includes plastic as a compatible material the JB weld does not. I guess I'll give it a go using that.

Hi, @t.castleberry6828. My pleasure. I'm glad this helped.
Thank you for this video! We thought we were crazy! We have "misting" that is coming from the frame. The frameless door is beautiful. I did not want to remodel the master bathroom but my husband did. The remodel nearly cost us our marriage. So, he is in charge of drying off the shower each and every time. Since he sqeeguees the quartz he wipes up every surface now as well.
Hi, @rssmith289. You are welcome. I hope you are able to resolve your issue. Good luck.
Thanks for this excellent tip. Very smart. Love the bandits.
You're welcome. Thanks for your kind comment.
I can’t find Bondo All-Purpose putty in Canada. Would you have any alternatives? This video is well-explained and detailed. You are a perfectionist like me!
Hi, D Donaghue. Thank you for your kind comment. You may want to try J-B Weld Multi-Purpose Putty - Quart - Home Exterior & Interior. bit.ly/3xxELPN . Please note that I have never used it so I can't vouch for its ease of use, durability, or longevity. From what I can see it looks very similar to Bondo All-Purpose Putty. Good luck with your repair.

Indeed. Thanks for stopping by.
Excellent instructions ! Thank you!
Hi, Karen. My pleasure and thank you for your kind comment.
Of course starting fluid is going to work but you will ruin the engine using it. I can spray starting fluid to the back of the breather. Will it work if you put regular fuel through the tube?
That's a great idea and I believe it would work. You would need be be careful not to get too much fuel in there and flood it but I bet your idea would work.
Ok so how did u match the colour of the paint on the siding?
Hi, Bruce. You will need a small piece of your vinyl siding. I had a piece left from the original installation. Take the piece of vinyl to your local Home Depot's paint department. Have them scan it and make you a small sample jar of flat custom colored outdoor paint. They did an excellent job on my color match. Be sure to get their flat finish paint.
Good video. I accidentally cut of my two pull cords…. Can you do a video how to install the cords? Thanks
Hi, Christina. Just watch this video. Replacing the pull cords is what this video is about. Good luck with your repair.

Hi, Al13n1nV8D3R. I actually called and tried to have them fix this by sending my holster to them. They weren't able to figure it out so I fixed it myself.
