CHINCH BUGS - How to determine you have them

How to determine you have Chinch Bugs - 3 ways:
1) Place a piece of white paper between the thatch (dead grass) and the green grass. Rub the grass and watch for the Chinch bugs on the white paper. Chinch bugs look like fleas with a white spot on their back.
2) Use a plastic container with the bottom cut out. Place the container over the area between the thatch and the green grass. Fill the container with water. The bugs will float.
3) Use a plastic bag. Place the thatch (from an area near the green grass) in a plastic zip lock bag and seal it. The bugs will jump to the surface of the bag.

NEEDING SOME TREES?

A-Z Nursery Victoria, TX
SUMMER IS HERE. I am sure you recognize the heat! Suddenly, you remember how important it is to have a tree on the west side of the house. Is now the correct time to put one in???
YES. You can install a tree anytime of the year as long as it has been grown in a bucket. All the roots are intact.
Transplanting is another story. Transplanting needs to be done in cooler weather, because you are cutting the trees root system.

Washing Machine Blues

We finished the laundry room and I was excited that I was going to be able to use my washing machine. It had been 5 long years going back and forth to the Laundromat. Every Sunday, listening to kids screaming and seeing their parents ignore them. UGH!
So, I washed three loads and then the last load did not empty the water. I noticed the washing machine had moved (I was washing a blanket). My first thought was a kinked hose. Nope, not a problem. Second thought was the pump. The washer is 15 years old. Would I buy a new pump or buy a new washer???
Then it struck me that the lid was really easy to open and close. Turns out that the safety switch which was under the lid had broken. That would keep it from emptying the water and going into the spin cycle.
Now, how to I take the machine apart? UNPLUG THE MACHINE!! The machine is a Kenmore. It had two screws at the base of the controller. Unscrew them. Under the controller are three clips. Two for the base (metal) and one for the electrical (plastic). Unclip them using a screw driver. The base slides forward and the part is accessible under the lid area. Unscrew and unclamp the piece. Put in the new part (found at an appliance store). WALA! Put everthing back together. Don't worry about the screws that rust through and fall into the base. That's what you get with old machines. IT WORKS! $25.00 and I am up and running again!
