Behind Scenes of Extreme Makeover Home Edition Diane Korman

Ever wonder how they build and transform a home in less than a week, week after week on ABC’s ‘Extreme Makeover Home Edition’? See how the miracle came true for an LA Police Officer, Kristina Ripatti, who was paralyzed in the line of duty. Here producer of the show, Diane Korman, shares with Cindy and Home Wizards how the spirit of volunteerism makes the impossible, possible–rain or shine! What’s unique here is how this home is tricked out with state of the art “smart home” technology and is wheelchair accessible and accommodating to Officer Ripatti.

The first steps in restringing a weed eater are unplugging it, pulling out the spool and finding out what size trimmer line to use. Avoid winding weed eater line too tightly or too loosely with help from a home remodeling specialist in this free video on weed eaters.

    some Owners Pre-cut “Before” Stringing; as shown here!
    The question though is; How much Length to Pre-cut??
    Most seem to be 20 Feet, for Pre-cut, much easier than rolling for same direction off the main spool; , ,chk Manual/online for Proper LENGTH’
    Good video, , Almost,,;)

    Someone please help me, My weed eater quickly overheats…and it gets very HOT to the touch like the metal casing for the engine but even more the spark plug gets hot..the entire spark plug even the white part i cannot even hold it its so hot i have tried adding more and more oil to the gas mix because i could only think that the engine was no lubricated enough and was causing friction or something but it just gets hot so fast please help!

    Thanks after watching your video I now know how to do it and I can trim again yah!

  13. GooseThunderfoot says:

    @johnpro2 Try both ways. Since you know how to re-string it, it should take less time to figure out than find the information you’re looking for.
