    NordicTrack belt drifting to one side, here's what worked for me

    NordicTrack belts are garbage. I had one of their 1750 model where the belt was constantly slipping. Tried every adjustment under the sun. Upon inspection the deck was warped due to the heat from the treadmill. Ended up flipping the treadmill over and getting an extra year out of it before...

    Swapping the bulb in a Sharp microwave, anything tricky to watch for?

    on the carousels i've worked on, sharps usually hide the bulb behind a little metal cover on the top right inside the cavity, single screw. Takes 2 minute. The over-the-range models are a different beast though, those have the bulb up top behind the vent grille like you mentioned.

The best part of Milwaukee track saw is its ergonomic feature that no other brands can surpass. Easy...

    Any particular cabinet lighting setup biases?

    I like how you think! If its okay for the cab design, then go. If they’re not made for each other, the surface-mount would do great, just be sure to be clean when it comes to installation of it – try to match the color of the channel to the color of the cab.

    You will need to grind it or snort it just to have effects on you. This is not Ebola, there are people who are abusing it because of its incautious usage.
