    Repairing shoes or boots

    So I went out shoe hunting, and shoes, like everything else, have increased in cost. Plus, I just can't seem to find any styles I like. I came home, scrolled for hours on Amazon, and still nothing. I had an older pair of shoes that weren't in to bad of shape, so I took them out yesterday and...

    A modern vehicle without all the modern tech

    I felt like creating this post since in the last few days I have had two different people talk about this. Why can't a modern-day automobile company produce a truck that has no computer technology to it? While modern day comforts are nice such as adaptive cruise control, heated seats, power...

    Treadmill broken deck repair reinforcement

    I've owned treadmills for 20 years. I first started with a $400 Walmart Proform that I ran to death. The 3/4" deck broke at 4,000 miles and since the crack only showed on the bottom side, I put hard laminate flooring screwed underneath. It lasted another 1000 miles until the control board went...

    iPod mini repair

    I had an iPod mini 2nd gen when it first came out since 2005. I always use it when I run on a treadmill and have used it in the past when traveling, but not anymore with smartphones. About 5 years ago, I replaced the battery for around $7. One issue that always came up was the headphone jack...

    Soldering as a hobby

    Anyone do a lot of solder work?  I've generally not been the greatest at this, but one sister-in-law had brought a number of poorly treated electronic devices that needed some work.  I've soldered a 3.5mm jack onto something that was torn off before, so she had hoped I could fix them.  They've...

    Repairing an old trailer

    So basically we had been borrowing a small trailer to haul some stuff around here lately but my Dad's friend said he had an old trailer we could come get. We went over and picked up up today and it is sweet. Needs new wood siding and flooring, but frame is mint and tires are good. It's also a...

    How the heck do you repair Vista's system files???

    This is driving me insane.  I'm trying to help a co worker friend and it starts and shuts down abnormally slow.  I did some online virus scans and caught three trojan.fake. viruses, deleted those.  I installed Vista SP2 and still it's being dumb.  I did the sfg /scannnow or whatever and...
