Wicker furniture demands a bit of maintenance from time to time, especially a piece like a rocker that’s subject to constant movement. Over the years, some of these wicker’s fibers might separate or split, or the seat might sag a bit. These minor issues can be repaired in the home without professional assistance. In case the entire seat feels so fragile or fragile you could push your hand through it if you tried, then the wicker is past repair. Some repair shops can replace all the wicker when the rocker frame itself is in great shape. Sagging Seat Repair Fix a sagging rocker seat by massaging it up with air and humidity. Wet one or 2 tea towels, then wring them out so they are damp. Flip the rocker upside-down to reveal the base of the seat. Set the tea towels above the seat bottom so the towels touch just…

Most little leaf blowers use a two-cycle air-cooled gas engine for electricity. These engines are designed to operate within a certain combustion temperature range. They must run sufficiently alluring to completely burn the fuel-oil mixture, but not so overly hot that the piston, crankshaft or cylinder suffers harm or complete failure in overheating. First thing to check whether you’ve got an overheating engine are the fuel mixture, air filter, muffler and heat fins. Fuel Mixture A two-cycle leaf blower engine is designed to run on a particular combination of oil and gasoline. The oil that you mix with the gas lubricates the piston and crankshaft, and helps keep the engine internally cool. If you do not mix enough oil with your gasoline, the leaf blower’s engine can overheat and grab due to excessive internal friction. Most leaf blowers bear labels specifying the right fuel/oil mixture. Newer versions require less oil…

If you’re trying to find somewhere to store your tools, you may require the headroom and straight walls a standard shed offers — but in the event that you just want to store firewood, a easy lean-to discard may be all you need. This type of discard can be linked to an present shed or garage, but it’s also possible to build a freestanding one. Either way, the idea is the same: The main quality of the drop is a tin roof — generally made out of corrugated steel roofing — using a steep incline. Constructing a freestanding lean-to is a basic DIY project. Assess the length of the roofing you plan to use with a tape measure. You can typically find corrugated steel roofing in 8-, 10- and 12-foot lengths, and your local supplier may even have more ones. Draw on a right-angled triangle on a sheet of paper…
