In the good old days Grandpa's wisdom was spun between friends. Many useful tips were passed down from generations of fathers, sons, and grandpas. Here you will find a collection of interesting tidbits of knowledge on just about anything.
You will be able to quickly find out how to repair a leaking toilet, double dig a garden bed, so you need less water and weeding. You will also find some articles on woodworking and cabinet making and all types of home repairs.
When I was young I helped the older people in the neighborhood who didn't have the physical strength to do home repairs anymore but they had quite a bit of knowledge that they were willing to share. During my early years they taught me quite a lot. I hope to share some of that knowledge with all who come my way. Now that I'm a grandpa myself and have my sons and grandsons asking me how do I do this and how do I that.
Here are some of the topics that you will discover as you browse my site.
- Heat Exchangers can recover 30% of heat loss from the flue

When you leave my site I hope your questions will be answered and you will stop back often and tell your friends about your experiences.
