Yeah, I don’t see a problem with your fan lid at all actually I didn’t see your problem before you made the PVC tool lol I was already thinking let’s see if you have to make it like something that you the mini blinds with or something like that lol and then you did better ha ha That seems like a stupid high amount of money to fix such a small thing that requires so much plus to make the little fancy buttons work sure let it just wear out and then get a good old fashion crank one to replace it and stick it to the energy Empire that makes a fortune off. Everybody’s need to have everything automated Course, you know what happens for every action there’s an equal and opposite reaction or non-reaction so translation everything that we let computers and automatic machines do for us in slaves us just a little bit more to be permanently inept on healthy because we don’t do any exercise, even if it’s just something so medial as the grasping and twistingaction that our hands are happy to do for us. Take a visit to a skilled nursing facility and see all of the sadness and emptiness there is when you cannot even grasp your own zebra and pull it up or get up out of your chair when your pants are wet.

Hi, l have a question about your first hack. Would those bars hold much weight like soap shampoo if you put one sideways so you can put stuff on them and then put one like you have to stop stuff falling?
@MakingMyAbodeOTRКүн бұрын
@michelegrice4938 Are you thinking of using one to create a shelf to hold things and then another in front to keep stuff from falling? They are pretty secure but I wouldn't recommend that just because that is not what their designed for. If you don't have an existing shelf you might consider a shower caddy or a basket that has really strong suction cups. I've seen some on Amazon that people seem to really like.

I imagine it stays in bottom of your tank and eventually will build up. You have some really great ideas. Good job. Happy trails to you and yours.

I noticed your doggy when he was getting his toy out of the Rope basket that he was limping pretty badly on the back end. I see that he's got some gray hairs so he's probably a very old dog. I just wanted to suggest that I gave my dog glucosamine and chondroitin capsules that I opened up and sprinkled on her food everyday. Just once a day. Within 2 weeks she was walking much more easily and able to get up and down easily and even attempting to run around! It really does help them! Just wanted to throw that out there. The capsules are better than the tablets cuz you can just open the capsule and sprinkle it on their food.

Just FYI, diluting 70% alcohol makes it completely ineffective as sanitizer. 70% is the perfect percentage to be effective. Adding that much water cuts that in half. If you’re going to use 70%, don’t add water. It’s not that expensive. I use Everclear Vodka because it’s the right percentage and much less “fumey.” It’s pretty expensive, but I just use it for my hands, so it lasts awhile. If you buy the 90% isopropyl, you want to cut it with water because 90% is actually too high to be effective because it will evaporate too quickly. The dilution for bringing 90% to 70%, is approximately 4 parts 90% to 3 parts water.

You forgot to mention ".......and healthier." I'm diabetic so I can't eat bread and pasta and things with sugar, but by using healthy KETO substitutes for these items and fixing my meals I keep to the plan. Keeping the ice keeper in the towing vehicle with cold drinks makes travel days much nicer. The recipes you suggest are all good. Because I'm sure you travel during the morning, do you prep for the next day's meals the night before? Often while fixing the evening meal I get other household members to sit at the table with a cutting mat to peel and chop veggies and meat for the next day's meal. Then when I am ready to cook (and tired) that part is done and I find it makes my life easier. I learned to do that from Peg Bracken's: "I Hate to Cook" book. Ziploc bags are your friend. I even got an adjustable bag stand that holds the bags open so I can fill them. Have you found a need for something like that? Your bento boxes are genius. I've never seen those before. It is smart to travel no more than 4 hours a day. How long does it take you to load up to leave and to set up to stay the night? I just got an air fryer and don't know where I would be without it now that I live full-time in an RV. It is the best cooking tool ever devised. I have a dual air fryer. I made some oatmeal/pecan bars using parchment paper boats to bake them (using the bake feature) and they came out great. Do you ever use liners in your air fryer for baking? Give us more air fryer ideas when you have time. Is your Microwave also convection? Have you done a video about that? Also, how often do you use your propane stove? Thanks for this video.
@MakingMyAbodeOTR5 сағат бұрын
@judyross182 Sorry I'm just now getting around to responding, yesterday was a travel day 😁. Definitely healthier! I do meal prep sometimes for travel days unless I already have a very easy meal planned. Super helpful to have things ready to go! I have seen those bag fillers but have never really saw a need for my kitchen. I just use my glass measuring cup to hold the bag I want to fill. Recently I've made a few changes that have sped up our take down and set up! It takes only about an hour to be fully hooked up and ready to go. As for set up about 30 to 45 minutes depending on the leveling situation. 🙃 The airfryer is the best isn't it!! Sounds like you have a fancy one 🤣 I keep telling my husband when our current one dies I'm getting a new one IMMEDIATELY! I was using the parchment air fryer liners but I had one catch fire because it came loose from under the food because of the force of the air. That freaked me out so I bought a silicone liner with little handles from Walmart. Works great! Regarding the microwave...it's just a regular old microwave not convection. I pretty much just use it to store my bread 😅 We use the propane stove and oven EVERY day, sometimes 3 times a day! I love it! I love to cook and nothing beats a gas stove 😊
@judyross1824 сағат бұрын
I have two kinds of parchment paper air fryer liners. I have an 8-quart dual Ninja and I can cook two items at different settings at one time. The parchment paper boats can be put under the grate to contain dripping grease or on top of the grate to contain batter, eggs, and other runny stuff that I want to bake. Another handy air fryer gadget is a dehydrator rack that I don't use for dehydration (yet) but I did use it to cook a three-level batch of sausages. It would be good for cooking chicken, fish, hamburgers, and any larger quantity of foods that are flat. I put a parchment paper boat on the bottom and the three racks hooked together inside with the food. ***I also use the racks individually to hold down foods that are lightweight and will be blown around so that was how I solved the food/liner blowing around and catching fire issue that you mentioned.*** They make these for single-drawer air fryers, too. This is what I use in my dual: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09P17YPT8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The other parchment paper liners are flat with holes in them and they go on top of the grate so things don't stick to it which they don't. Anyway, your tips are useful and appreciated. Thank you.

Lots of good tips. I've seen the Blackstone "Wind Guard" before, but I forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder. Next to my Splindide I have a shoe hanger (it's in a closet) so everything I need for washing is in the shoe hanger pockets. You could put a rod over the washer and hang some storage on that, leaving some room to hang damp clothes. I put a shower curtain rod over the top of the shower and hang damp items from that. I use Earth Breeze soap (I told you before I put in half a sheet for a load directly on the dirty clothes) and everything comes out clean. Earth Breeze is also much easier to store. What is all that stuff in the baskets on the washer for? Am I missing something?

Thank you! You have some great ideas and I appreciate you sharing ☺️ I am definitely going to put a shower curtain rod in the shower for hanging wet stuff, I forgot all about your suggestion before😀 As far as the baskets on my washer and dryer...in the large white one I keep my laundry soap, dirty cleaning rags, and my vacume attachments. In the smaller green basket I keep a pump bottle that has laundry soap, a bottle of bleach, a bottle of vinegar that I use in place of fabric softener for some items, a toothbrush for stain removal as well as a laundry soap bar for stains, oh and the battery and charger for my cordless vacuum sits in there to charge. I have considered using the soap sheets, I am peticular about my laundry and my machine...🤷🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ so not sure if I'd like it. I do have concerns about it gunking up the drum 😬I wish I could get a sample to try out but it seems companies don't do that too much anymore.

Great hacks/ideas! I think the light switches with the flip are also sold at Dollar Tree (oe they used to be, because I bought a few years ago). OK! When I had my 34'er, I would first drain the black tank, then the gray, as the water from the gray flowed through the black. Then, using my own water hose, hooked up the the outside faucet, to clean out the tanks. Just turn on the water and let it run through your tanks. It never ceases to amaze me, peoples lack of courtesy and just common sense! 🤯
