Is it ok to attach a pressure-treated joist directly to a concrete slab as a foundation for a deck and should it be epoxied or bolted down?

You can set the joist directly into a 3 or 4 foot hole filled with concrete, however the life expectancy of the joist is about half when it does not come in contact with the ground at all. On my house I set them on metal brackets then epoxied the bracket bolt into the concrete. With pressure treated lumber this post will be "good as new" for 25 years. Depending on the area I have seen concrete ones disintegrate in 3-8 years.

Can a cracked non leaky concrete basement foundation wall be repaired from inside the basement and if so with what kind of materials?
It certainly can. The method, however, will depend on the exact type of foundation walls you have. if the wall is made of poured concrete, there are two basic options. The first is a polyeurethane injection method where you fill the entire crack (through to the outside of the wall) with a bonding agent that seals the crack. This works OK, but as the concrete expands and shrinks, it can fail. Also, other cracks obviously can appear. A good solution I like is the FlexiSpan product from Basement Systems. It not not only seals the crack, but also has a "flexible" material that covers the crack. This material is designed for he above-mentioned problems. Additionally, if water should come through the crack - FlexiSpan is designed to correct the problem. If the wall is made of concrete blocks, you have a bit more to think about. The direction of the cracks typically indicates what the problem is. If the crack follows along the mortar joint... typically at the mid-point of the wall - this is a sign that it is being pushed inward. For this situation, there are several options. The Wall Anchor system is by far the best as it not only can hold the wall in place, but has the option of pulling the wall back towards its original position. Another solution is carbon-fibert strip. This material is epoxied to the wall and adds lateral stability. Finally, if the cracks are breaking through the concrete blocks, this is a sign of settlement problems. Research the internet for solutions to this - as there are several. I'm preferential to the resistance push pier system... which stablizes the foundation from further settlement.
Are NASCAR lug nuts reusable?
NASCAR teams never reuse lug nuts just on the off chance that an undetected problem on one could cost precious seconds on a pit stop. Every race, every tire to be used has brand new, lug nuts epoxied on.
How can you fix stripped threads engine coolant temp sensor?
If the sensor is stripped you will have to replace it. If the fitting or hole it threads into is stripped it is likely you can make oversize threads and use a fitting called a bushing to repair it. Mind you I got desperate one night and epoxied one in. Its still working but if I ever have to change it I am toast.

How to remove a Flywheel on a 1999 75 hp mercury outboard?
You can use a three bolt steering wheel type puller if it is not too tight . You may need to purchase the puller made specifically for removing the flywheel that threads into the hub itself. I bought one on-line for $42 bucks. Absolutely DO NOT heat or hammer on the flywheel because you WILL screw up the stator , the trigger sleeve or the flywheel stator magnets that are epoxied to the flywheel. My flywheel was so tight, I had to put tension on the puller and let Liquid Wrench soak in overnight before it finally came loose. Note: Once your flywheel is off, DO NOT remove the magnetic sleeve pressed onto the inner hub. It is a critical timing piece that is epoxied onto the hub in a precise position that even the factory could not tell me how to position it correctly.
How do you repair the driver door window when it has fallen off the track on a 2004 Chrysler Concorde?
It probably hasn't fallen off the track. The part of the window regulator that attaches to the window is probably broken. Mine did the same thing. I took the window and regulator out of the car and epoxied the part back together and then reinstalled it. Been over a year now and still working fine.
