The title says it all. Each of my van's doors can be easily unlocked if someone breaks a window glass with a stone and reaches in to raise the door's lock lever below that window. How about I put one of these at the bottom of each door on the inside, but out of sight? These can be unlocked...

That's a really good thought! I hope someone takes you up on it.

That makes sense. However, it's important to have a passageway between cab and cabin you can quickly open from the cabin side to get behind the steering wheel again. Otherwise, if you discover a two-foot or 4-foot predator outside, you have to step out of the cabin in your nightgown and say...

Well, back when my wife and I lived in a schoolie on the Colorado planes just northeast of Boulder, there was ONE mouse. We never could catch him and he did no harm, so we finally gave up. He didn't have to hunt for a nest come the cold of winter; he used ours! Our bed was warm from our...

Wow! Lucky you! I love the vibes and pure nature of the Olympic National Park, and am preparing to move back there next Spring to stay. Currently though, I'm stuck in Texas. Here's hoping you have a wonderful time in my "Home Sweet Home".

I understand your hating cold. I'm like you but exactly the opposite; I hate HEAT! But my point is, I understand your matching feelings about cold. This girl had always tried to stay in a warm climate, but woke up this morning to find she'd goofed, for it had turned icy cold with snow...

I used citric acid on my slimy pump and in the container with some water, shaking it to splash the mixture everywhere inside, then rinsed and refilled with water. It's been a year since I did that and still, NO MORE SLIME!

You are so correct! I'll mount the license and lights on the back of the scooter carrier if I need to. And thanks for the warning!

I've ordered the below Disability Scooter Lift Rack Loading Ramp Trailer Hitch Mount Now I need a cover to protect my scooter from wind, dirt, and rain while traveling down the highway. The cover shown below is the best I see for a mobility scooter like mine. But it appears to be totally...

Sounds great! But you didn't say how to do it, or where to find instructions. (???) So I googled the idea and found Bob Wells has done a video that explains how! ;) I especially like the money saved in the "do it yourself" approach. Bob said having a professional do the same thing costs...

When I was about five years old, my mother laid an emotional trip on me about how worried she would be if I ever ran away, how hurt she'd be, and all that goes with that kind of thinking. Because I was so young, it affected me very deeply, making it hard for me to leave even after I was twenty...

That happens to me once in a while too, Pat. First time, I asked the monitors to delete it for me, which they did. But I never asked them again, not wanting to become a pain. It's happened twice since then, so I just reduced my unwanted message to four dots ". . . ." and saved it again. The...

My mother lost her motorhome (her only home at the time) to a fire that started in the engine compartment, just like you said. She had a fire extinguisher but with most of the engine under a shell between the front seats and her standing outside in front of the open hood, she couldn't get the...

Really good to know, thanks Tzagi. I've also recently discovered that mechanics will charge like $150.00 just to discover your engine's problems; but instead of going down a path of discovery, they simply follow a checklist of items to sat you need . . . without ever testing the condition of...

Well, this is my basic layout showing the larger items that sit on the floor...

I appreciate your concern, Wandering Rose, and want you to know I'm ok. 😌 I have this 4 lb fire extinguisher mounted on the wall right next to the pair of side doors, plus a small extinguisher I can reach from the driver's seat. I also have a door in the center of the front wall -- held shut...

You're a jewel, abnorm! That video showed me exactly what I needed to see and understand! Door-mounted spare tires look kinda ugly to me, so I just now ordered this spare tire mount I will bolt through the floor right where the old mount and tire were. Thanks to you, I'm on my way to the full...

I drove my van-home to Discount Tires and complained in their office that their workmen in the garage absolutely refused to put air in my spare tire, just because it's 23 years old and full of cracks. (That resulted in big friendly smiles, but no offer to fill the tire with air.) So we...

I bought a 1-ton Chevy Express van, and found I could NOT turn the nuts on the tires. What if I had a flat? I used the factory-included wrench, even tried jumping on the end of the handle without any luck. So I took my van to a mechanic, all question marks (????) about how such a feat could be...

Nope. Only one CosmickGold here. I simply got lost. Next, I'll probably stand in front of a full-length mirror, asking the guy in front of me why he won't turn around and show me his back.
