Small Engine Repair: Installing Trimmer Line on a Echo SRM-230 Trimmer

**Always follow the instructions in your repair manual when doing repair or maintenance work on Outdoor Power Equipment. Manuals can be found at the manufacturers website.** In this video I install Stihl .105 inch Premium Round Trimmer Line in a Echo SRM-230 Trimmer. I really like the .105 inch round trimmer line because it doesn’t break as often as the smaller line, and I have found that the shaped line doesn’t cut any better than the round line. When I say “shaped line” I mean some line is shaped like a star or a pentagon or other shapes. The manufacturer’s claim the different shapes improve cutting performance, but I don’t see any difference, and when the manufacturer measure’s the diameter of the line, its at the farthest points, so bulk of a star shaped line is actually smaller than the advertised diameter. Thanks for watching!
Chain Link Fence Installation Tips: Installing Posts and Hardware

In this video, Lowe’s home improvement expert, Mike Kraft, demonstrates how to install fence posts and hardware for chain link fencing. To watch the previous videos in this series and to find the printable instructions for this video, visit www.Lowes.com The great thing about chain link fencing is that you can dig all the fence post holes at once. The manufacturer will recommend the spacing in between post holes, but it should never exceed 10 feet on-center. Once the post holes are ready, it is time to mark the posts. Typically, the posts should be the height of the fabric, minus 2 inches. For terminal or end posts, it should be the height of the fabric plus 2 inches. Now you can set the posts in the holes, first adding gravel and then making sure the mark is level with the ground. Next, set the post, adding concrete until it is 2 inches below ground level. Continue adding posts down your layout line. Once the post hole concrete is set, you are ready to add the chain link fence hardware. For the terminal post hardware, add tension bands and bolts. Make sure the flat surface of the band is on the fabric side of the fence. The number of tension bands you will need is the height of the fence in feet, minus one. For corner posts, add an extra set of bands for the adjacent run of fencing. Follow by installing the top rail bands, cups and bolts. If installing on a corner post, alternate the ends cups – bottom one up, top one down. Finally, add the post caps to the terminal …

In this video, Lowe’s home improvement expert, Mike Kraft, demonstrates how to set posts and panels for a decorative metal fence. To learn how to layout and dig post holes and to find printable instructions for this video, visit www.Lowes.com The installation for this decorative metal fence is fairly easy, as the rails simply fit into holes in the post. This particular metal fence is safe to use around a swimming pool, which is something to consider when installing your fence. Before you set the posts in concrete, install the caps on top. Then make sure the bottom fence rail is 2 inches above the ground to allow for lawn work. Mark your posts where the ground line will be. When working with prefabricated fence panels, you only want to dig a few post holes at a time. The manufacturer will suggest spacing, but typically it’s going to be the width of your panels on-center. There are three different kinds of fence posts available: 1. End posts – These posts have holes on one side 2. Line posts – These posts have holes on opposite sides 3. Corner posts – These posts will have holes on adjacent sides Mike first starts with an end fence post, adding enough gravel into the post hole to bring the mark level to the ground line. Then set the gate post against the layout line and hold it in place with clamps and braces. Follow by making sure the plumb is level with the post level. Now you can add concrete, making sure to fill until it is 2 inches below ground level to allow for dirt …

Installing Photovoltaic Solar Power at Home

This vid shows the various steps in planning and having a company (Real Goods Carlson: www.realgoodssolar.com install photovoltaic solar electric power in my rear yard in San Diego; definitely more challenging than a roof installation. My rationale for this: reduce my carbon footprint, buy / own my energy (like I do my house), help address CA’s energy shortfall and take advantage of the state and US government incentives for early adopters to save on the installation.
