Oct 4th 2008 TV Converter Box Help

Since I am an electronics expert I have recently been getting some questions from my readers about DTV converter boxes.  Most of these questions have been directed toward how to hook it up to a TV. Since I have gotten multiple questions about this I will offer some tips here.  First make sure that your converter box is powered on. Second, make sure the RCA cords are connected correctly to the converter box and TV. Third, make sure you TV is set to channel 3 or 4.  Finally, make sure your TV is set to the correct input setting.  If none of these tips helps you to get your DTV converter box up and running then go ahead and send me another message and I’ll try to give you individual help.

Sep 28th 2008 Can You Install a Garage Door by Yourself? I Can’t

One for the hobbies I’ve been addicted to over the past years was bricolage, doing things to improve my house by myself, without specialized help. This helped me learn a lot of carpentry, landscaping, gardening, plumbing, to name only a few of the skills I’ve gained by trial and error processes. However, there’s one thing I haven’t managed to do by myself.

Do you know those timber Henderson garage doors? I’ve got one, but I had to give up with the installation and ask for help, even before I started. It is true, that was not a one-man job, so I would have needed some help anyway. This is why I thought that the wisest thing to do is let the specialists do it for me.
