Let’s Fix Things
United States
Registrace 18. 02. 2023
Let’s fix things is a channel about fixing miscellaneous things around the house, garage or shop. Whether it is landscaping, hardscaping, simple repairs to the house or complicated repairs to construction equipment and vehicles. I also heat with firewood, so you may see some videos about splitting and stacking firewood.
I love to go on long hikes. So I will also have some hikes from the New Hampshire WHITE MOUNTAINS NH48 and miscellaneous other trails I find in my time off.
Some call me Doctor Doolittle! So I will also try to include short videos of my pets and random animals I come into contact with thru out my days. To include my two cats, turtle and fish.
Hope you enjoy watching and feel free to send appropriate comments and suggestions when you want. Please keep it clean and professional. My videos are for all ages to watch and enjoy.
Hope you can use some of my repair videos to make your day go easier and repairs faster. Hope they save you money also! DIY

(Video #16) 1984 Corvette Exhaust Modified (sounds better)
This is video number 16.
As many of you know, putting the car back together is a very time-consuming process. Between deciding on what to replace with new and what to eliminate, and waiting for the parts to be delivered, can take a very long time. So for this reason we have decided to stop putting a new Corvette video out every Friday. We will upload new progress videos when we achieve larger amounts of work. I hope you have enjoyed the weeks of progress.

1984 Corvette with the Crossfire fuel injection engine.
I will post a new Corvette update every Friday till it’s drivable! Or we give up! Which ever one happens first!
Well, out with the Crossfire Injection and in with the Edelbrock carburetor and intake manifold.
Injection to carb swap!
Lots of old parts gone, let’s see if we can get it to start!
One of my sons and myself, were looking for a project vehicle that we could work on together this Summer. We came across this 1984 Corvette with the notorious Crossfire fuel injected 350 cubic inch engine.
I have never worked on this particular style fuel injection. I have owned many Chevy small block V8 engines in a large variety of my past vehicles, but this is my first Crossfire injection system. If we cannot get the original fuel system running easily, more than likely we will end up switching it out for a new intake and carburetor set up.
The car has been parked for at least 15 years. There are more mice living in the car than I could imagine. The inside of the car smells worse than any vehicle I have ever purchased. This is going to be one heck of a project.
I purchased the car for an extremely fair price to the point where I don’t mind spending a lot of time and effort trying to get it up and running. I will also let my son have almost full control over the build. This will be his first project car that he is responsible for.
I just hope it does not take too long to get it up and running. We have no history of the car, except that it was driven to the spot years ago and the owner was getting ready to do some bodywork on it. It has not moved since.
I will attempt to video record as many of the repairs as practical, and I hope you will follow along with us trying to get this car roadworthy.
Obviously there will be more than one video of this project vehicle.

Homemade Excavator Pallet Forks
zhlédnutí 2,6KPřed 9 hodinami
I finally got around to make a set of pallet forks for my Caterpillar 302.5 mini excavator. Doing Hardscape, you find yourself loading and unloading and stacking and unstacking material to much just to move it. This is definitely a back saver! Cost me less than that $500 and will save me tons of time and effort loading and unloading materials at job sites and at home. It’s a very simple idea an...
Caterpillar Mini Excavator gets bucket shims
zhlédnutí 3,1KPřed 21 hodinou
2001 Caterpillar 302.5 mini excavator While getting the machine ready for the next retaining wall job, I decided to try something new. Last time I shimmed the pins on the machine, I bought the thin metal ones that Caterpillar sells for a lot of money. This time I want to try something different. While surfing the web, I saw a bucket shim made out of plastic. And the best part is they were a lot...

Time to put new tires on the Benford TS25 radial swing concrete buggy I have been repairing. This buggy has a Lister Diesel engine that has electric start and a cool hand crank capability. This is my actual very first time ever trying to start it with the hand crank. Lots of compression!
Concrete paver maintenance! Making pavers look new! Easy DIY project!
zhlédnutí 4,6KPřed 14 dny
Concrete pavers require maintenance. Everyone thinks you set them and forget them. Well, over the years, even if they are installed correctly, they need a little help looking new again. It could be resetting sunk or shifted pavers. Or it could be washing all the years of dirt and debris away. Or it could even be replacing all the joint sand that has failed over the years. In this video I was hi...

Emergency driveway repair job
zhlédnutí 10KPřed 21 dnem
These customers had anew asphalt driveway installed a few years ago and have noticed a major problem developing. With all the rain this year, the water running down the asphalt has eroded away the side of the driveway and has started to undermine it. So, before it gets to bad, that asked if I could assist them. I end up bringing in tons of granulated fill material, covered that with a soil reen...
