Shaun , Yeah usually better to start new thread , as you can see multitude of questions and not quite as many qualified responses. If you are comparing apples to apples Briggs not Tecumseh or Kohler , then yes the Briggs in question are junk . however if you maintain them , they will serve you reasonably . They have had a history of premature cam lobe wear and valve lash issues and bent push rods. They require religious mtce oil filter changes along with valve top end lube fuel treatments . Your experience could be any of 5 basic issues. Worn cam lobe , worn valve guide , dirty carbon fouled valve seats or faulty guides , loose valve lash rocker adjusting nuts or screw or a slightly bent or worn push rod . Only you can advise of the preventative mtce you have performed , regular oil and filter changes , fuel conditioner use etc ! Check you internal components and get back to us with Engine specifics Manf. Model Number , age , general condition !

With apnea ... they tend to move alot ... trying to get better airflow. Mind telling body to move to improve airway. They tend to be tired/or cranky during the day, from the tossing and turning lack of restful sleep. Headaches and numbess because of lack of blood flow ... brain trying too hard to keep lungs working neglects the extremities. The snoring is interuppted by a pause then gasp... brain kicking in "breathe fool". My 15 yr old son had sleep apnea and hubby has sleep apnea. My sons went away basically when he had his tonsils and adenoids out. When he would sleep it sounded like hiccoughs. Gasping constantly for air. My hubby is on a cpap (breathing) machine.

I am repurposing a lower 36" cabinet that I had a shelf taken out of, and a vertical divider wall placed into it thereby making it a set of singular cabinets inside. It still has two smaller drawers at the top. I didn't have the divider wall go all the way to the drawers (obviously) as the outlet I want to use is on the opposite side of the divider wall of the side I want to put the mixer lift on (of course). I plan on laying the cord over the divider wall into the other cabinet compartment to plug it in. My concern here is the two drawers on top. I own a 28 lb KA mixer (empty), although it's 17 years old it's massive, the 6qt pro series. and the head does not tilt back (which I hate but that's a story for another day). I think I'm going with the RAS soft close heavy duty but I am concerned about what type of shelf to have made. I think a butcher block is what I'm going to have to do. I grew up with a mixer lift and my Mom always had granite/quartz blocks to match but I think here it'll be too heavy. Anyone have success with butcher blocks? Under the drawer mounting with a monster KA mixer they don't move? TIA.

I am loving that clematis - so often, clems are planted in conjunction with other things, especially roses...and all well and good but the essential grace and delicacy of the singular clematis growth habits are so often missed...while yours is a lovely compliment to the arch. I have a plena purpurea elegans growing with Zepherine Drouhin - now a secateur casualty, and a completely unforeseen advantage is the black timber structure supporting the clematis on its own - such a lovely sight and never before appreciated as it was huddled amongst the (mildewed) rose canes looking a bit lost and forlorn. The negative spaces between blooms and leaves have a lightness which has absolutely enhanced this previously rather dull clematis (although I love to roll the entire name off my tongue - viticella purpurea plena elegans. The colour and shape of your clematis is a wonderful complement to that baroque ironwork.
