Q: Can you repurpose motor oil?

• <div><p>The best and safest way to deal with used motor oil is to bring it to an approved facility to be recycled and refined into new material. You may see recommendations to use old oil as an equipment lubricant or wood stain, but using it in these ways can be dangerous, messy, and environmentally irresponsible.</p></div>

Q: How long do reel mowers last?

• <div><p>If you keep it clean and sharp, your reel mower should last for about 10-20 years. In comparison, the lifespan of most self-propelled lawn mowers is about half as long as that.</p></div>

Q: Do services include blade sharpening?

• <div><p>Yes, many repair services include blade sharpening as part of the maintenance package.</p></div>

Q: How often should lawn mower spark plugs be changed?

• <div><p>You need to change your spark plugs regularly. It is recommended that your spark plugs should be checked and changed after every 25 hours of use.</p></div>

Had a hole in my plaster dinning room wall due to a plumbing repair. Tim from Hughes Plastering came quickly and repaired my wall and answered all my questions. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. I will definitely use him again and recommend him to family and friends.

Over all the diagnosis and repair went very well! Please see above. This is the first time in our married lives that we ever had to retain the services of a plumber. How his price of $176 might compare with other plumbers I don't know, but I suspect this price was very fair.
