Re: Building a house in Trinidad

Hey all,
Any tips for paints underside of a decking pan? Persons say just paint it with flat black some say etch and add any enamel paint on it. Don't want to waste resources :cry:

Re: Termites...

I used a 10mL in 10L mix and poured it in a trench every 10 feet. Trench was covered and an additional 10mL in 10L was applied on top. After casting I'll leave access points to apply under the concrete if necessary.

Re: Termites...

Hey 2nrs,
Anywhere sells subterranean termite bait stations? Need to do some preventative stuff around a property. Already did the fipronil solution procedure around the property. Really don't want to go to a pest removal service provider.

Re: Lets talk CNG

Before the conversion I was advised to install iridium spark plugs and if possible (since it's an older vehicle) swap out the coils. Yes, some cars can use the CNG all the time with no power loss but that is not the case in my current setup. I'll just follow their instructions when to turn on or off...

Re: Lets talk CNG

The only issue I had initially was a lean code and that was only because I'm flooring it all the time. The supplier adjusted the gasoline while I drove the car with the aggressive pulls. Additionally the spark plug gaps were reduced (was done with caution). Yes, you will not have the same power but ...

Re: Ozone Generator

You can use those Bissell branded cleaners or any brand name upholstery cleaner. ABC Home Center sells a few decent cleaners. You can use Purple blast but at a 1 part to 10 parts water solution. You don't want to damage anything with it concentrated. Spray the seats and carpet with a spray bottle of...

Paint primer of choice for external unpainted masonry wall?
Berger

Preparation will be sanding with a medium rubbing block and patching with filler.
