It Shouldn't Be "Old School" but...Adulting

... all these skills seem to be less and less common in young adults.  And to their defense, its not just high school students many people in their 30s don't know some of these skills either.  Kudos to these kids for trying!

Fighting to Drive Older Vehicles

Never thought about this angle before.  But I do see a shift in younger people not caring about driving and cars as much as previous generations....waiting until they go to college to get their licenses!?!?!?

Fight for the right to drive!

A Hacked Up Wood Heater from Propane Tank

  Here I have just a quick project I have been wanting to do on a weekend.  Its a wood burning forced air stove, which I would like to eventually make run off waste oil.  It used a 20lb propane tank as the base.  You are looking at the loading door and it will have a bent duct coming off the top and I have a small fan that will blow in fresh air from the rear and create a vortex hopefully?  I plan on running it outside the garage and having just the duct coming through just in case.  It probably won't put out too much heat, but it doesn't get too cold here in Texas during the winter.

In this video we use a Kill-A-Watt to examine the energy use of several household objects.  Tell me what other things you might want to test in the comments :)


Here is the link to the Kill-A-Watt version that I use in the video:
