Re: [BlindHandyMan] How to Clean or Replace Your furnace Filter
If anybody ever wonders down the isle where the furnace filters are located especially if they have never gone there before it can be a bit overwhelming to be sure. There is an extremely extensive selection of shapes sizes and types of filters to choose from. I get the 90 day variety that are of a hire quality and it only costs just over $20 per year. Mine takes 2 at a time and they only need changed every 90 days which lasts through the winter. Right now it is so hot that it's a bit hard to believe that the thing will need to be started up again in a few months, we just can't win. David Ferrin [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: Boyce, Ray To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, August 02, 2006 11:03 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] How to Clean or Replace Your furnace Filter Hi Has it been more than a month since you ventured into your furnace's filter area? Then it's probably time to clean or replace this dust and dirt catcher to prevent you from sneezing your way into winter mornings. A clean filter maximizes your furnace's efficiency and longevity-- and minimizes your energy bills. Steps: 1. If the floor or area near the furnace is a dust-bunny breeding area, vacuum or sweep prior to replacing the filter. 2. Locate the service panel, usually on the furnace's lower front or side. 3. Turn off the furnace, then gently pop open or pull down the panel door with your hands; tools usually aren't needed. 4. Locate the filter--a framed-mesh rectangular screen inserted either horizontally or vertically near the intake-outtake blower. 5. Slide the filter screen out (see A). (Image 1) 6. Check for brown, dusty buildup on the mesh screen (or a screen you're unable to see through). 7. If you have a reusable plastic-frame or metal-frame filter, use a hose to rinse away the dust particles on the screen in the backyard or driveway (see B). Let it dry, then return it to the furnace. (Image 2) 8. If you have a disposable cardboard-frame filter, write down the size, then throw it away. Buy a new furnace filter of the same size (available at hardware and home supply stores). Overall Tips: If someone in your home has allergies, you may want to consider an allergenic reduction filter. To keep the air in your home healthy, replace your furnace filter monthly during chilly months and at least once a season. Overall Warnings: Be sure you turn off the furnace before opening the front panel. Do not use the furnace until a clean filter is installed. ** This message and its attachments may contain legally privileged or confidential information.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] generator sizes
That is not the problem. The problem with that is gas is a combustion engine and diesel is a compression engine. The gas engine compresses the fuel and then lites it with a spark. The diesel engine just lites it by compressing the fuel mix until it explodes, no spark. Even with glow plugs. They are only used to heat up the air and mix. To make compression easier for the engine. Now a gas engine may use different fuels that basically work on same type. They just may have a different way of getting it into the chamber. A diesel engine can work on just about anything with a oil base. Sense diesel is only flammable when compressed to vapor. If just a flame is put to diesel. It has to heat up before it does the burn. At 01:53 PM 8/2/2006, you wrote: Interesting. The ones we installed at the university were mostly natural gas fired. Usually a gasoline engine converted to natural gas. When we got to the larger capacity generators they were only available with disel power. I never heard of any engine that could accomidate both disel and gas. Seems like there is something about the compression ratio necessary for disel that tends to damage things if there is gas in it. - Original Message - From: Tom Fowle [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, August 02, 2006 12:27 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] generator sizes I understand that some generators claim to run on three fueles, gasoline, desil and natural gas.

As I indicated, it's been a long time. One of the frames we used was a Reo. Hope that gives you an idea. The IH whad been in a fire. I don't know where the Studebaker came from, but since we had a '52' Studebaker ton and a half, it had probably been picked up for parts. I think the frame we used in Voc Ag was a Ford. It worked out really well as we used the original yard and a half dump body. The dump was activated by turning a shaft mounted just in front of the body with a crank that had to be 2 ft. long.

But obviously if the wheelbase is 8 feet, and the vehicle overhang is 4 feet, something is going to give, and I'll bet it is the rule of thumb. If the distance is twice the trailer will turn on a different radius then the tow vehicle. This may mean the trailor comes much closer to the curb then the tow vehicle when rounding a corner. (Sometimes resulting in real surprises for pedestrians.) (It can sometimes even provide a shock for the tow vehicle driver as for instance the trailor jumping the curb after the tow vehicle had rounded the cornor with little trouble.)It will also be very difficult to back up in confined spaces as the tow vehicle has to make exaggerated turns to get the pole in correct position.

With all the different remote controls and other devices around here I find my aging brain just doesn't keep all that straight. 5. functionality and expandable / programmable There are two sets of programming available, week-day and week-end and within eack of those there are four programmes so you can turn the temperature up, down then up and down again in each cycle or the other way around. 6 other things I forgot.

As high as energy is getting it might save quite a bit of money not to cool those areas of your house you are not currently using.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] drier vents
Just coming into this thread. I would be more concerned about moisture using one of these diverters than anything else. I.E. in the winter, if the dryer is in the basement and the furnace is also in the basement I would use it, but in the summer, (like now) I would not use it. I know, I know! it's suppose to dirrect the exhaust to the outside in summer ? I never saw one that was sealed enough to get all the moisture outside. Just my thoughts. - Original Message - From: Robert J.

[BlindHandyMan] How to Maintain a Window Air Conditioner
Hi When a window air conditioner cools poorly, it doesn't necessarily mean you're in for an expensive trip to the repair shop. It could be the machine just needs a good cleaning and some tender care. Steps: 1. Remove the front grill. Pry it off with a putty knife if it's held by clips, or use a screwdriver if it is screwed in place. 2. Unplug the air conditioner, slide it out of the window cabinet and set it on a sturdy table. You may need a helper to move the air conditioner if it's heavy. 3. Locate the mesh filter. It covers the radiator-like fins on the machine's evaporator coils. 4. Remove the filter, and wash it and the grill in a mixture of warm, soapy water and bleach--this will remove any mold. Shake out the excess water and set the filter and grill in your dish drain to dry. 5. Vacuum the evaporator coils thoroughly, using a vacuum with brush attachment. Remove any stubborn dirt with a plastic scrub brush. 6. Inspect the fins on the coils. If any fins are bent or flattened, buy a fin comb from an appliance store and run the comb up or down the fins to straighten them. 7. Turn the air conditioner around so the back is facing you. You will see a second set of coils--the machine's condenser coils. 8. Vacuum these coils thoroughly, using the vacuum and brush attachment. Remove any stubborn dirt with a plastic scrub brush. 9. Inspect the fins on the condenser coils, and if any are bent, use the fin comb to straighten them. 10. Remove any dirt or lint from inside the unit, using the vacuum and crevice attachment. Make sure you clean the fan blades, too, using the vacuum and brush attachment. 11. Put the air conditioner back into the window cabinet. 12. Reinstall the filter and front grill, and plug in the machine. Overall Tips: Having a hard time vacuuming dust deep inside the coils? Take the air conditioner outside and use a leaf blower to blow the dust away. Clean the filter monthly when the air conditioner is running. The machine will cool better, and you'll cut energy consumption 5 to 15 percent. Overall Warnings: Take extra care when working around the fins on the evaporator and condenser coils. They are extremely delicate and bend easily. ** This message and its attachments may contain legally privileged or confidential information.

[BlindHandyMan] How to Replace a Blown Fuse
Hi The next time someone turns on the hair dryer, microwave and toaster oven all at once and sends your house's circuits into a tizzy, be prepared. If you live in an older home with electrical circuits protected by fuses, keep replacements on hand. Identify and test a blown fuse Steps: 1. Open the door to your service panel and examine it with a flashlight to identify the blown fuse. Typically lights are on 15-A circuits. Receptacles may be either 15 A (for 14-gauge wiring) or 20 A (for 12-gauge wiring). A large fixed appliance, such as an electric range or a water heater, should be on its own circuit, protected by fuses as specified by the appliance manufacturer (see the appliance's rating plate for amp requirements). In addition, one or more main fuses protect service lines coming from your power utility. 2. For light and receptacle circuits, look for a break or blackened area visible through the glass of a screw-in plug fuse. If all the fuses look good, identify the fuse according to the circuit label (map) printed on the door or next to each fuse. 3. If the circuits are not mapped, locate the fuse by trial and error: Remove the fuses one at a time and either insert a new fuse to test the circuit, or touch the pointed probe of a continuity tester to the fuse's tip and the clip to its threaded shaft. If the tester does not glow, the fuse is bad. 4. For fuse blocks, which protect an electric stove and the main circuit, pull straight out on the handle, then remove the individual cartridge fuses from the block using a cartridge-fuse puller. Test the fuses with a continuity tester by probing the two ends. Install a new fuse Steps: 1. Screw in a new plug fuse, or install a new cartridge fuse in the fuse block and press the block back in. The replacement should always have the same rating as the original. 2. If all of the circuits have stopped working, remove and test the cartridge fuses in the main fuse block, usually located at the top left (occasionally it's reversed with the stove circuit on the top right). Replace any faulty ones. Replace a fuse holder Steps: 1. More often than not the problem with cartridge fuses is related to loose clips or rivets in the fuse block or fuse box, not the fuse itself. Replace a faulty cartridge or have an electrician make other necessary repairs. Overall Tips: Always keep a flashlight handy in case the lights near the circuit panel are not operating. It can be very dangerous to feel around. Test the tester by touching the probe to the clip to make sure the light glows. If a fuse element is burned in the middle and the ends are intact, an overloaded circuit is the cause. Remove the appliance from that circuit. If the element appears to have exploded and has blackened the underside of the glass, a short is at fault. Investigate the cause of the short at the appliance, receptacle or wiring. Overall Warnings: A circuit board with fuses pulled out is dangerous-- you run the risk of potentially fatal shock. Use great care and never insert anything but a fuse into the open spaces. ** This message and its attachments may contain legally privileged or confidential information.

[BlindHandyMan] How To Make Your Own Car Fluids and Sprays
Hi You can make an inexpensive anti-fog glass spray to keep your bathroom mirrors and the inside of your car's windshield fog-free. This solution keeps condensation from collecting on these surfaces. Steps: 1. Pour 2 ounces of white vinegar in a medium sized bowl. 2. Add 1 quart hot water. 3. Dip a clean, lint-free cloth into mixture. 4. Lightly wring out cloth. 5. Wipe mirrors and the inside of car windshields with cloth. 6. Allow to dry. Tips: Make sure mirrors and inside of windshield are clean before you put the solution on them. This is a great home remedy for keeping your car's windshield, windows and mirrors frost-free on those cold winter days. Steps: 1. Mix 3 cups of vinegar and 1 cup of water in a bowl. Dip a clean cloth or rag into the solution and gently wring out. 2. Wipe all glass surfaces with the solution, including windshield, windows and mirrors. 3. Allow to dry naturally. 4. Reapply solution after several freezing's throughout the cold months. Tips: If the sun is shining, allow the car to sit outside with the sun directly on the glass to heat it up. Or put your vehicle in the garage after driving it for several minutes; this will heat the air in the garage. Make sure the glass and mirrors are clean before applying the mixture. Why pay for windshield wiper fluid? It's easy and inexpensive to make. Steps: 1. Combine 3 c. household window cleaner with 1 gallon water in a pail. 2. Mix well. 3. Open the hood of your car. 4. Pour the fluid in the windshield wiper fluid reservoir. (Use a funnel to avoid spilling fluid.) 5. Close the hood. Tips: Make sure to dilute the window cleaner or it will leave streaks. Warnings: Compare prices to make sure you spend less on window cleaner than you would on formulated windshield wiper fluid. If you live in a cold climate, make sure the homemade fluid won't freeze in the tank, as this can damage cars. Make a small batch of fluid and place it in the freezer overnight. If the fluid freezes, don't use it. Add 1 or 2 tablespoons of liquid HAND dishwashing detergent to washer reservoir and stir. This will eliminate streaking and will not remove wax from paint as ammonia does. ** This message and its attachments may contain legally privileged or confidential information.
