When converting the KBZ into a TBZ, I realised that I needed more trestles. A wobbly wooden folding stand costs just under EUR 10 at Toom. Two metal folding trestles, the better choice, cost just under 40 EUR. So one costs 20 EUR. Action beats that hands down.

Motorised garden tools: Changing the petrol filter
I wanted to use our Ikra brushcutter again after a two-year break. Well, no way! First of all it was time for troubleshooting! :-(
Smart lock with RFID and biometric access tested
WeLock sent me the Touch41 smart door lock for a test. I installed it in our front door and can now tell you about it first-hand.
Twizy: Seats upholstered and parts painted
Ever since I’ve owned the Twizy, I’ve been bothered by the worn seat shell of the driver’s seat. It doesn’t look good and when it rained, I still had a wet arse days later.
Wash the carpet yourself? Does that work?
The woollen carpet in the KBZ is dirty. A few months ago, I saw some videos on YouTube of a professional carpet cleaning company from the USA. Can’t you wash carpets yourself?
Twizy: Repairing the door lock damper
One of the many wearing parts on the Twizy are the vibration dampers of the door locks. Replacements are quickly printed.
Drainage channel strainer quickly designed and printed out
We needed a filter for the drainage channel in front of the garage (from the 1960s). The old filter was completely rusted through and the drain was blocked.

Quickly remove traces of ivy
After cutting back or removing the ivy, do you have these grey stains and remnants of aerial roots on the plaster? These are traces of ivy. Or ivy stains. Call them what you like. But… how do I remove them? What can you read? Wire brushes, expensive miracle products or painting over are supposed to help against ivy stains. I’m sure that’s all true. But there is also a cheap trick for it! Really cheap! Really quick!
Block YouTube channels correctly!
Who hasn’t experienced this? On the homepage, YouTube suggests the low-class rubbish that most people unfortunately want to watch. But you also feel the need to block channels when you search.
Fighting wild raspberries
Wild raspberries (or blackberries?) are spreading in our garden. They are not a useful plant, so we want to get rid of them.
Holder for USB sticks and adapters
A customisable holder for USB sticks and USB adapters. It can be placed on the desk, set up with feet or attached to the wall. Wall fixings for screws and nails are included.
Bluetooth: Improve sound
You’ve treated yourself to new in-ears and they just sound like a phone call under a tin bucket? We can help you.
Charging an electric car in an emergency
The principle of hope works neither with combustion engines nor with electric cars. With both, if you set off with too little range left, you end up with a walk in the park. You can get a stinker moving again with a petrol canister, but what do I do with an electric vehicle?
Dishwasher cleaner for emergencies
Another cheap trick: What to do when you’ve run out of dishwasher tablets? Use washing-up liquid? Absolutely not!
