Is fence repair considered an emergnecy repair during Covid19 lockdown
Comments (7)It sounds like you live in a rough neighborhood. Around here you certainly don't find walking paths in such areas, but maybe Washington is different. It seems to me that you want is something to keep excessively curious passers-by from peeking in and "getting ideas." An intact wood fence won't stop anyone who's really determined anyway. If you can't find someone to mend the fence, maybe you can tack a tarp or something similar over the openings for now. At least in my area, hardware stores are considered essential services and are open, though usually on limited hours. Pick up a tarp or three (measure the area or areas you need to cover), and a staple gun with staples....See MoreSomething good has come during Covid time...
Comments (21)To those who asked....on-line teaching Kindergartens was/will be a huge challenge for her. Not only getting them logged on...even though she assigned them their first name as password...but the students were not the biggest challenge. It was parents who are unwilling to cooperate because they thought they didn’t need to participate or didn’t have time to “mess with doing it”....or an “it’s not my job, that is what you are getting paid to do” attitude...sadly, it will be those students who will be left behind😢. The school provided each student with a laptop and internet services are provided free to every family with school children. She spent many 14-16 hour days preparing and “teaching” from a room at her home that she turned into a make-shift classroom. She puts her whole self into making education as productive and fun for her students as she possibly can...as does she in her bike riding. She challenges herself to ride those gravel roads and climb those steep hills...not to take the easy paths of level paved roads. She said she has learned not to look at the top of the hill, but to concentrate on the “next tree or next mailbox”...baby steps and not giving up! She won’t give up on a student, but keeps challenging them to try their best and not quit. I honestly don’t know how it is going to work now that part will be coming in to the classroom twice a week for each half of students and on-line will be doing Wednesdays. I know she will be praying for guidance and strength and will do the very best she can....See MoreWasher repair vs. replace during COVID, great outcome.
Comments (15)@dadoes good point and examples of plastic gears, seems likely an engineering decision to create a replaceable weak link to protect the mechanism similar to a shear pin. In the case of my machine’s common Maytag transmission, the aftermarket has a solution shown in the pic below. This seems to be the “shear pin” which fails. Not an easy job to remove and disassemble the transmission, and in my case replacing all 3 bearings and two tub seals was a good move given the age and hard use. Paying a pro to do the job would be cost prohibitive, but for a DIY’er it’s doable and cheap....See MoreOutdoor Party during Covid
Comments (1)Invite people....don't serve buffet style....make sure to have seating far apart, and only invite a few. The larger the gathering the larger the chance someone who is asymptomatic but infected will show and the larger the group the more they can spread it to....See MoreAlisande
