Can we replace a damaged paver?
You, who have invested in a paved driveway or backyard, have just noticed that it has been damaged in some way. Can you replace it? If so, how? The answer is yes, as long as you saved a few more pavers when you installed them.
First, you have to remove the sand seal that surrounds the paver and then remove the latter with two screwdrivers. Once you have disposed of the damaged paver, lay the new one in exactly the same spot. All that remains is to fill the joint with polymeric sand and compact everything with a rubber mallet.
And now, neither seen nor known, your concrete pavement is like new!

Pizza on the grill? Of course!
If you don't want to heat up the inside of your home by running your oven because of the summer heat, but you still want a good pizza, you can very well do it on your BBQ. Here are our tips for cooking pizza on the grill!
The process is simple. First, you need to get a Napoleon pizza stone and place it on your BBQ grill. It is important that the stone heats up gradually along with the grill because a thermal shock could cause it to break.
You could just as easily cook one from scratch or unwrap a frozen pizza. It is recommended to prepare the pizza directly on a pizza spatula and then tranfser it directly on the hot pizza stone.
Once the pizza is ready and the BBQ is at the right temperature, place your pizza on the pizza stone, close the BBQ lid and let cook. To remove the pizza from the BBQ once it's done, the Napoleon pizza spatula will still be useful.
And now, voila!

BBQ igniter problem? Maybe it's the battery...
With summer now well underway, barbecue has been used to its full potential for some time now. Often after a few years of use, the igniter (or ignition button) may appear to be defective, which is not necessarily the case. If you do not hear any sound when you press the ignition button, it may be a sign that the igniter has stopped working. There are three things that should be checked the moment you notice its defect.
First, check if the battery is still working. To reach the latter, you only have to unscrew the ignition button. If this still works, it is probably the second option: the receiver; that is, the receptacle in which the battery is stored. This, made of copper, can oxidize (produce verdigris). It is very important to clean up this verdigris as soon as you learn it if you want to continue enjoying your barbecue for a few more years. Use a small, porous brush so that no traces of oxidation are left in the receiver.
The third assumption concerns the wires which are located below the receiver of the battery. These could be disconnected. Please make sure that these connect the igniter to the electrodes.
The next time you're in the mood for a good barbecue, check your batteries and your receiver! Enjoy your meal!
