My white vinyl home was looking dirty, in particular on the sides that are close to trees. There was a greenish buildup on the siding in these areas that was in need of a good cleaning. I thought about renting a pressure washer but liked the idea of having one around the house that could be taken out and used anytime something needed cleaning so I headed down to my local Lowe's hardware sto...

Two of the tires on my pickup truck were rather wore and in need of replacing so I headed down to the local Firestone Auto Care center. Firestone was running a sale on Primewell tires for $44.75 each or $89.50 for a set of two. The tires included a 40,000 mile limited warranty. Two new tires with a mileage warranty for under $100.00 sounded like a good idea so I decided to purchase the tires. I...

I purchased a package of Athletech Men's Crew Socks from Kmart. The socks are made with 88% cotton, 10% polyester, 1% nylon, 1% spandex, white in color with sewn-in gray heels and toes. There are 10 pair of socks in a resealable plastic bag. I can't figure out the purpose of packaging socks in a resealable bag.According to the information on the package Athletech Men's Crew Soc...

I was in Kmart doing some shopping and decided to browse the bed and linen section where I spotted Essential Home Giant Bed Pillows on sale. The pillow normally sales for $6.99 and was listed for $4.00. It's a good thing that I walked down the aisle because the same pillow at the end of the aisle did not reflect the sale price. I double checked the price at an in-store bar scanner and when ...

I purchased a Bolens model BL100 in the spring of 2008 for $69.97 from the local Lowe's hardware store to trim grass around my home. The Bolens model BL100 has a 31cc, two cycle engine and requires a 40:1 gas / two cycle oil mixture ratio. The fuel cap is clearly labeled fuel + oil mix. The weed eater that I purchased has a curved shaft which I find handy because I like to rotate the weed e...

The land line telephone jack in my kitchen is along a short wall within the breakfast nook area which makes a large cabinet or table out of the question. I still needed a stand to place my telephone charger on so I could plug the telephone into the jack and a power outlet.I came across the Style Selections telephone stand at the local Lowe's hardware store and the size was a perfect fit for...

The product that I am reviewing today is Strypeeze. I am not referring to an adult act at a nightclub. Strypeeze is a semi-paste stripper that is used on woodwork, trim, metal and masonry. It is used to remove paint, varnish, lacquer and shellac. The semi-paste texture clings to surfaces and can easily be cleaned up with water. I noticed that the paint on my garage door trim was beginning to pe...

Shaving can be such a chore not to mention quite expensive. Razors have come a long way and so have razor blades. The objective has remained the same though, a clean smooth shave. Triple blade razors provide a superior shave over single or even twin blade razors. Razor blade companies will sometimes offer great deals on thier latest razor then after purchase the cost of the razor blade becomes ...

The load capacity for the Step Right 3 Step Ladder is 225 pounds.The Step Right 3 Step Ladder h...

I received the Oral-B Vitality electric toothbrush as a free gift from my dentist's office. Free gift from a dentist? Anyone that ever paid for a dentist bill knows that professional dental care is expensive and one would hope at the prices a dentist charges there is enough money to cover the cost of an electric toothbrush. The Oral-B Vitality electric toothbrush has a ½" diamet...

Gillette Foamy Regular shaving foam is a thick, creamy lather. Simply press the applicator button at the top of the can and the shaving is dispensed into your hand. The contents are stored under pressure so the can should not be placed in hot water in an attempt to warm the foam prior to shaving. Apply the foam by rubbing it over the area that is to be shaved.I purchased a 11 oz. can at the loc...

When I purchased my desktop computer it did not come with any speakers and I already owned a pair that I had previously used with my old, outdated computer so I opted not to buy a pair of speakers. The old speakers bairly provided any sound when I connected them but I thought at least I can hear something. Eventually I grew tired of barely hearing sounds from my old speakers so when I was ...

I purchased a gasoline operate Weed Eater Power Edge PE 550 in the spring of 2008 for the sole purpose of trimming the edge on the sides of my concrete driveway and concrete curbing along the street. I like the look of a precise, clean edge and while a weed eater may be good for trimming around bushes and trees, it does not leave a crisp, clean, professional looking edge like a power edge machi...

Old Spice High Endurance is a long lasting stick deodorant with a fresh scent. It comes in a bright red, oval package with a knob at the bottom that when turned feeds the deodorant outward, providing more deodorant as that product gets used. I generally purchase Old Spice High Endurance deodorant in the 3.25 oz. package. The deodorant is applied to the underarm area and there is a warning ...

I needed to get a longer garden hose to use with my electric pressure washer so that I could reach all the way around my house. I have a water connection in the front of the house and one in the back, however my old garden hose was too short too reach all areas around the sides. I headed down to the local Lowe's hardware store to see what they had in stock. There were three basic categories...

The mazes become increasingly more difficult as the game progresses. There are obstacles to bump the ball off the track and open spaces to jump across. There is also a time limit. The mazes are erected high in the sky which adds to the thril...

I enjoy surfing the web with Google Chrome web browser. I cannot say the same for Internet Explorer. I was using Internet Explorer exclusively and grew exceedingly tired of waiting for web pages to load not to mention the long wait for emails to open so I decided to give Google Chrome a try, it is free to download. It only took a few minutes to download. Compare that to Internet Explorer where ...

I have been using Crest Liquid Gel for a while now and I can honestly say that I like the product. I never thought that I would ever use any toothpaste other than a conventional paste, but now I don't know if I will ever go back to toothpaste in a tube.Calling Crest Liquid Gel a toothpaste is not exactly accurate because as the name implies this product is indeed a liquid gel. It ...
