Re: [BlindHandyMan] installing air conditioner
Dear Robert: I have never seen an air-conditioner that small. You might have someone check again on the B. T. U. rating. A thousand watt unit would be possible, but such a low B. T. U. rating would do well to air-condition a dog house. A ten thousand B. T. U. window unit is a common size. A good permanent instillation would involve filling in the space on each side of the unit, preferably with material that is insulating. A lot of heat can escape in winter, if these side spaces are not attended to properly.

I think it will fit our window, which is in the kitchen. I plan to build a brace outside, angling from two 2 by 6 support posts with a flat 2 by 4 cross section on top. I think the window may be a little wider than the air conditioner, in which case I will cut some lengths of lumber to brace the window and keep out the critters.

[BlindHandyMan] Hooking Up an Ice Maker
Hi Even if your refrigerator comes with an automatic icemaker, you will need to connect it to a water supply for it to make ice. While this is not a particularly difficult job, it requires some knowledge of plumbing and the use of tools. Steps: 1. Read the instruction manual that came with your refrigerator. Specific instructions for hooking up the icemaker may be included. 2. Locate the pipe nearest the icemaker that carries cold water. Most often, this is the cold water pipe that connects to the kitchen sink. 3. Install a t-valve in the main cold water line - not on the 3/8-inch faucet tubes - so that there are two outlets: one to the sink and one to the icemaker supply line. 4. Turn off the water. 5. Put a sleeve and compression nut over the line that will supply the icemaker in order to tightly connect it to the water line. 6. Turn the water back on, and, holding the end of the tubing in the sink or over a bucket, flush the line to remove any debris. Turn the water off again. 7. Snake the line from the water source to the icemaker connection, drilling holes in the backs of cabinets if you have to in order to push the line through. 8. Find the icemaker inlet from the refrigerator and attach the other end of the line using another compression nut. 9. Turn the water back on. 10. Throw away the first few containers of ice to be sure the line is completely clean before you use the ice. Tips: If your old refrigerator had an icemaker and you are purchasing a new refrigerator, use the old tubing to connect it to the icemaker if it is still in good condition. Leave several feet of extra line so that you can move the refrigerator or the icemaker for cleaning. You can buy kits that contain all of the materials necessary for hooking up an icemaker. Ask at your hardware supply store. If you don't feel you're up to the task, a plumber can hook up the icemaker for you.

[BlindHandyMan] How to Instal a Refridgerator
Hi Putting a refrigerator into place doesn't have to be difficult. Here are some tips to make it easier. Steps: 1. Put the refrigerator on strips of carpet, pile-side down, and slide it into place. Be sure to plug it in when you can reach the outlet with the cord. 2. Remove the carpet. 3. Lay a level across the top of the refrigerator to make sure it is level. If it isn't, remove the front grille at the base of the fridge, tilt the refrigerator back and place a wooden block under the front edge. Find the levelling legs on the front corners, and screw them up or down to level the unit. 4. Check the level again, and repeat this process until the fridge is level. (The door should shut by itself when opened to a 45-degree angle. If it doesn't, screw the levelling legs down enough so that it does.) 5. Consult your owner's manual on how to hook up the icemaker, if applicable. 6. Run the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before putting perishable food into it. Tips: Put your refrigerator in a spot out of direct sunlight and away from heat-producing appliances, such as your dishwasher and stove. Put your owner's manual in a plastic bag, and tape it to the side of the refrigerator so that you can find it when you need it. Warnings: Never move a refrigerator onto its side or back. It should always be upright. Don't use an extension cord with your fridge. The chances of electrocution are high with any appliance that is used near liquids.

[BlindHandyMan] How to Fix an Iron that Leaves Spots on Fabric
Hi Does your washing machine seem possessed with the spirit of John Travolta during his Saturday Night Fever days? It's likely that one or more of the machine's feet aren't touching the floor and it is rocking as it washes. To fix the problem, you just need to level the machine. Steps: 1. Tilt the machine forward so the back feet are 3 to 4 inches (7.5 to 10 cm) off the ground, then set it back down. The back feet usually are self-leveling--just raising and lowering the machine like this will cause the feet to re-level themselves. 2. Place a sturdy 2-by-4 wood block under the center of the washer to prop it up so you can access the front feet. You might have to move the washer out from the wall so that you can tilt it up enough to install the block. 3. Loosen the locknut on each foot, using an adjustable wrench. Once the locknuts are loose, you can adjust the feet. 4. Remove the wood block, and if you moved the washer, set it back into position against the wall. 5. Place a carpenter's level across the front of the washer and check to see if the machine is level side to side. If it isn't, use adjustable pliers to rotate one front foot or the other until the washer is level. 6. Place your level perpendicular to the front of the machine and check to see if the washer is level in this direction. If it is off, readjust each front foot by the same number of turns until you reach level. 7. Put the washer back on the wood block and retighten the locknuts, then if necessary, push it back against the wall. Overall Tips: It's better to adjust the feet so they end up shorter, rather than longer. The closer the machine is to the floor, the less likely it is to vibrate and shake.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Accessible OBD-II unit
The accessible multimeter I use was purchased from a Canadian friend. Some on the list have offerred to help in this. If no one chimes in you might check the archives for a past posting. There is also one available in US for something like $600 which is nuts. I don't know of any accessible car code readers yet. Stuck with sighted help.

In this area of the country, soils tend to be acidic and applying lime is a necessary requirement in order to obtain a good stand of grass. Instead of lime, one can cover the area with lime stone/gravel and given enough time, a nice stand of grass or volunteer weeds will appear. This approach does yield a firm lawn, where vehicular traffic will not mar up, mowing can be a problem if the blades are too low or the ground is uneven, as you will get a shower of stones when the mower picks up the underlying gravel. One other issue should be pointed out, and that is your lady friends will not enjoy frolicking in the gravel. Grass, according to reports, is a much more friendly environment for socializing, even with the chiggers. Yours Truly, Clifford Wilson - Original Message - From: "Robert J.

Moore Sent: Saturday, August 05, 2006 11:42 AM To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [BlindHandyMan] Accessible OBD-II unit Otis A couple things to check here. Yes absolutely put the type plugs in there that you have always used. Oil change at this point is a good idea. Make sure that your thermostat is working properly. Also have them test the temp sending unit. Your fan is electric so make sure it is coming on when the car gets up to operating temperature. You could have a bad fan or a bad sencer. Also you can not rule out a bad water pump. I would hope that since they had to drain the radiator that they would have flushed it. It is a good idea to flush out the fins on the radiator. You should do this from the back of the radiator with a garden hose. You might want to do this when the car is cooled down. sorry to state the obvious but make sure the coolant level is correct and check for any leaks. and last but not least make sure that the radiator cap is the proper pressure and is working correctly. Hope this helps. You may want to write down these things and bring them to your mechanic so you don't forget any thing. If you have a 3.8 v6 which is likely one common drivability issue with them is that the motor will oscillate at idle. what I mean is the RPM's will fluctuate. If this is the case after every thing else is working properly you should test the fuel presher regulator is working properly. This is a very simple test. any mechanic can do. Let me know how this turns out.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Accessible OBD-II unit
The platinum plugs are not your problem. They were overly expensive, but will work fine. Your car obviously has more serious problems that need to be properly diagnosed and it is apparent to me that your service persons are fairly incompetent. Unfortunately there is no accessible auto service test equipment. You can buy quality equipment and use a sighted person to tell you what is on the screen, but you still have to know how to interpret the information. Nothing beats qualified experience!

RE: [BlindHandyMan] Accessible OBD-II unit
Otis trouble wrote As far as spark plugs go. As long as they are rated for the car in use they are just fine. Remember with some name is all your buying. As a general rule this is true but if you have always run the same type of plugs in that car with good results I would not use any thing but what you have always used. Most people don't think much about there plugs but they can make more of a differance than you would think. I once had an old Honda Accord with 220 thousand miles on it. She began to run like crap, it would hardly stay running. I thought that the engine was about to give up the ghost. Well since I was dead broke I thought I would put in some plugs in the hope that I would at least get it running well enough that my wife would not have the darnd thing quit on her every time that she went to stop. I put the new plugs in and low and behold the thing cane to life and ran like a dream.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] installing air conditioner
Well, our unit is a 1000 BTU unit. I think it will fit our window, which is in the kitchen. I plan to build a brace outside, angling from two 2 by 6 support posts with a flat 2 by 4 cross section on top. I think the window may be a little wider than the air conditioner, in which case I will cut some lengths of lumber to brace the window and keep out the critters.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] Accessible OBD-II unit
Otis A couple things to check here. Yes absolutely put the type plugs in there that you have always used. Oil change at this point is a good idea. Make sure that your thermostat is working properly. Also have them test the temp sending unit. Your fan is electric so make sure it is coming on when the car gets up to operating temperature. You could have a bad fan or a bad sencer. Also you can not rule out a bad water pump. I would hope that since they had to drain the radiator that they would have flushed it. It is a good idea to flush out the fins on the radiator. You should do this from the back of the radiator with a garden hose. You might want to do this when the car is cooled down. sorry to state the obvious but make sure the coolant level is correct and check for any leaks. and last but not least make sure that the radiator cap is the proper pressure and is working correctly. Hope this helps. You may want to write down these things and bring them to your mechanic so you don't forget any thing. If you have a 3.8 v6 which is likely one common drivability issue with them is that the motor will oscillate at idle. what I mean is the RPM's will fluctuate. If this is the case after every thing else is working properly you should test the fuel presher regulator is working properly. This is a very simple test. any mechanic can do. Let me know how this turns out.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] installing air conditioner
Dear Robert: You will need to do some measuring before you buy and install a window air-conditioner. There are different size units and needless to say, there are different size windows. I once owned a unit that was narrow but tall and it was designed to go in to those windows that crank out side to side. Since you probably don't wish to change windows, it would be prudent to measure your window with the bottom section raised to the max, and that way you will know the maximum size of the unit that will fit in the whole. Most window units come with an expandable, but flimsy, pull-out filler which will prevent critters and air from entering beside the unit, once it is installed. Another concern which you should have is the weight of the unit and the ability of the window to support that load. Large units can weigh a lot and when you get in to the 24 to 30 thousand B. T. U. units, the weight can be a problem for sure. Some units come with supports which brace from the outside to prevent the unit from simply tumbling out the window. One other issue should be investigated before buying and installing a unit, and that is the available electric power. Larger units in the U. S. are mostly 220 volt, while small one room units are generally 110 volt units. Check the area around your window to ascertain where the required voltage is available, and if need be, have a new plug installed to power the new unit. Having installed more than one of these units, I would suggest that you enlist the help of a person who has enough strength to handle the size unit you plan to install. Some of these units weigh more than a hundred pounds and given their size, they are tough for one person to handle, no matter how strong that person may be.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Making smooth, straight edges
Hello Marc, All saws leave saw marks, this is not a deficiency of your equipment. The correct way of straightening an edge is to use a jointer of course which will also true the edge to the flat side. This is an expensive machine although a bench top model is a good solution and like most such machines now that I have one I can't imagine how I got along without it. You may also be able to do it with your router table in a couple of ways. Your fence may have a piece which can be slid out into the path of the advancing stock some small distance past the cutter. The purpose of this is to support the stock when using a cutter which removes material from the leading edge. With a straight cutting bit set to enough height to extend above the top of the stock to be cut and with the fence set to remove a small amount of that edge, maybe a sixteenth beyond the face of the fence or three thirty-seconds and you should probably instal a feather board to keep the stock against the fence you begin running the stock into the cutter removing that small amount of material until the leading edge is beyond that moveable block. you stop the router, then adjust that block by sliding it out into the path until it is supporting the leading edge of the stock, it should be protruding from the fence the same depth as the cutter is protruding from the fence. So now you push your bad edge snug against the fence of the router and run it through until it is against the block protruding from the fence then keep the stock against that block at the leading end and against the fence at the trailing edge and you should get a pretty good true edge which is also pretty flat. If you don't have such a device as part of your router fence you can clamp a thin piece of material there in it's place. Traditionally this is done with a hand plane, preferably a fairly long one. They have them with a guide which protrudes down below the edge of the shoe to help keep you at 90 degrees to the face of the wood and you should probably work from one edge a few strokes then from the other end a few strokes to keep you removing equal thicknesses and reducing the risk of angling the cut toward one end or the other. It will cut much better in one direction than the other so when you figure that out, finish in the good direction. a good hand plane though is expensive and maintaining a sharp and true blade takes care. I hope I have explained this adequately, if not and I can be clearer please don't hesitate to ask.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Barefoot mowing
Dear Robert: Rocking on is a short time solution. In this area of the country, soils tend to be acidic and applying lime is a necessary requirement in order to obtain a good stand of grass. Instead of lime, one can cover the area with lime stone/gravel and given enough time, a nice stand of grass or volunteer weeds will appear. This approach does yield a firm lawn, where vehicular traffic will not mar up, mowing can be a problem if the blades are too low or the ground is uneven, as you will get a shower of stones when the mower picks up the underlying gravel. One other issue should be pointed out, and that is your lady friends will not enjoy frolicking in the gravel. Grass, according to reports, is a much more friendly environment for socializing, even with the chiggers. Yours Truly, Clifford Wilson - Original Message - From: "Robert J.

[BlindHandyMan] Making smooth, straight edges
Hi, I want to make a cutting board out of scrap strips of cherry and maple. These pieces are trimmings produced at a cabinet shop when squaring boards and so they have one straight side and one uneven side. I have tried using my table saw to trim the uneven side so it will also be straight. The problem is that I tend to get some blade marks because I am not pushing them through perfectly smoothly. It may also be because the throat plate on my table saw is a bit recessed from the surface of the table. How can I remove the blade marks and still keep the side of the boards straight and smooth? I have a table saw, router, and drill press available for the task as well as assorted hand tools.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] Accessible OBD-II unit
Hi, Well I no for sure that I need these spark plugs because every time I put something else in there I get something weird wrong with my car. I read a form on line that state this and that's why I have been using them every since. This is what the manufacture put in the car when it comes from the factory. Before they put those spark plugs in my car I couldn't even tell if my car was running. Now I can tell for sure. I'm sure it's not the gas because I'm using a well known gas station which is not owned by forners Otis Blue [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web site: http://www.computerguydirect.com Voice: 414-461-8885 Fax: 414-461-8856 Skype: blueboy402 -Original Message- From: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Trouble Sent: Saturday, August 05, 2006 7:58 AM To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Accessible OBD-II unit Not sure about them, but do know they got accessible software for laptops.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] Accessible OBD-II unit
Hi, Other symptoms I see is when driving my father tells me that the car shakes and rattles when stopping at a light or something. And The car still over heats. Those are the only things I see. The only time I think the battery was disconnected was when they did the head gaskets. I can give that a try. When he says a tune up he means changing the oil again just in case some left over coolant was still getting into the oil. They need to put my original spark plugs that I purchase into my car because they're the only one that the manufacture suggest to use with the car. They supposedly put double platinum spark plugs in there and I think that's what making my car shake and rattle when ever we stop at a light. I need those AC Delco's because that's all I ever put in my car. I also notice that I need to change my main belt because it's a little worn. This is a 1998 Buick Century.

If so what are they? As far as the check engine light is concerned, the first thing to find out is was the battery ever disconectedl. If not then you need to disconnect the battery for at least 3 minutes. This will reset the computer. What do they mean by a tune up? I have not worked on the new cars but to my understanding a basic tune up is usually plugs and wires. You may do things like air filter, PCV valve but out side of that the computer is constantly adjusting thbings like air fuel mixture, Timing and what else I am not sure.
