Q. This 1940's era redwood picnic table set was handed down to us and originally belonged to my husband's grandparents. It is not treated or stained. We need to replace the legs and braces because some pesky squirrels have been sharpening their little teeth on them. I want to use as close to original lumber as I can get but do not know where I can purchase it, or if it is even available anywhere. The separate benches and table top have been made from 2x's with 4 and 6 inch width boards and the braces and legs are 2x2 and 2x3. All of the boards are of the dimensions used in the 1940's, which by today's lumber dimension standards are probably not the same. Nor do I want treated or stained lumber. And I certainly do not want to use the set for kindling in the fireplace. Any ideas?
A. i have found roughsawn (not planed) 2 X redwood in LOWES.
it is unstained and untreated.
it will look very red until the weather gets at it for a while.
try craigslist (wanted used redwood lumber) you might get something already weathered.
Is there any way to fix a broken screen on a kindle?
Q. I accidently crushed my kindle with my knee, and the screen broke. I heard a crack, but the screen isnt actually cracked. It doesnt work anymore though. Does the warranty cover this?
And, can it be repaired at bestbuy where i bought it?
Thanks.
A. if you got the extended warranty through best buy then yes take it back to best buy and they will actually replace it with another one for free.
Can I fix my kindle fire charging port at home?
Q. My charging port is very loose and the charger wobbles around. My mom's Kindle Fire also has the same charging port problem. I've tried other chargers and it is definitely the port not the charger with the issue's. I've examined the port and it looks slightly bent at the top but I'm not sure if I should mess with it. Is this something that I can repair at home, I can't afford to take to repair shop.
A. Send it back to amazon. They will give you a new (perhaps refurbished) one as a replacement. This is a common problem. I am on my second one. I have read discussion boards where people have stated that they are on their 4th replacement.
