[BlindHandyMan] interstate highway numbering

2006-09-30 Thread clifford
Dear List Members:
If you are in Atlanta Georgia and are trying to get to down-town Atlanta, I 
would suggest that you not try I285 to get there, as memory tells me that I285 
is a beltway around the city.  The odd numbered three numbered highways may be 
spoke type highways in other cities, but not in Atlanta.

Yours Truly,

Clifford Wilson

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Plug in alarms

2006-09-30 Thread Lee A. Stone

Hailley, I would want a alarm notice to tell me if the power was off for 
the house.. I have an alarm which is on my battery back up sump pump. 
however that pump will not run unless the water is a bit high. I know I 
can move that  alarm to pump water lower but would rather not. I am 
lucky enough to have a large 6500 auto key start generator but  I need 
to be outside to do that. I  am thinking if I had a loud alarm in the 
bedroom that would sound a piercing sound  for lack of power. then I 
could be sometimes minutes ahead of a problem . also what I'd like to do 
is to set off a pre recorded tape or cd  of all sorts of alarm sounds. 
If you listened to some  old or maybe even some newer movies  which had 
sounds like you would hear on a Navy sub , battleship or carrier. 
.sounds for a General alarm or this is not a drill. so I am a bit out 
there but it sounds neat. In our house  water from rains or fast melting 
snow is our worst enemy. we have most of the tools for protection and 
want to add a couple more. the alarm being the foremost.Lee

[BlindHandyMan] Some Facts About Auto Darkening Welding Helmets

2006-09-30 Thread Ray Boyce
Hi
Some facts you should know before buying an electronic helmet:
List of 5 items
. Our helmets switch up to 80 times faster than the required standards. 
Remember that the welding arc is not instantaneous. It starts off as a small 
spark
and builds into the dangerous arc. Our lens will darken long before that 
dangerous point.
. About switching time: How far does your helmet go? Some companies measure 
how fast their helmet changes from shade 4 to 8 and then tell you their 
helmet
changes in 1/25,000th of a second. That's like a dragster stopping at half 
track and saying you made a 3 second run! Our helmets darken in 5/10,000th 
of
a second or faster, but remember, we tell you how fast our helmet changes 
from shade 4 to 13 (or the darkest shade). That means our helmets may at 
first
appear slower but our helmets make it to the finish line!
. Does speed really matter? Since you are always protected from UV/IR rays 
equivalent to a shade 16, even when the lens is light, switching speed 
doesn't
mean much. In reality, your eyes don't even perceive the difference between 
1/5,000th and 1/25,000 of a second.
. Do faster speeds compromise protection and quality? Faster helmets may 
choose switching time over better infrared protection. We think that's a 
dangerous
compromise to make just to make a sale. Faster speeds may also mean a lower 
optical quality. If you can't see your work clearly, it doesn't matter how
fast it darkens.
. Our helmets provide as much as 1563% more protection against harmful 
UV/Infrared radiation than other brands.
Infrared
light is invisible and can be very dangerous. In time, unprotected exposure 
to it can cause cataracts and blindness. With our lens over your eyes, you 
are
protected from infrared at all times, even when the lens is light because 
the UV/Infrared filter is permanent. It is the purple color you see on the 
outside
of the lens.
Ultraviolet
light is what causes flash burn of the cornea and welder's sunburn like 
you get on your neck. With our UV/IR filters you are always protected from 
UV/IR
rays to a shade 16 whether the lens is light or dark. That is more 
protection than most lenses you'll ever use, plus you get the bonus of 
seeing the visible
portion of the light spectrum as light as a shade 9 or as dark as 13.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] lubricating chokes

2006-09-30 Thread Lee A. Stone

Geof, this choke I am referring to on the newer generator is first, in a 
weird location. One has to reach behind and to the left of the generator  
and instead of this being an external operation, the choke is like a 
very small rounded pipe with a loop on the end in which to stick a 
finger or thum . this loop allows the operator to push in or pull out 
the choke..Maybe it was designed  to be a stiffer operation of moving 
this choke , but being a bit parynoid  and knowing the chocke seems to 
be a lightweight  metal I want to lube it so it can slide and out  a lot 
easier.. my previous generator just had an external lever which  you 
moved left or right and it was right in the front. the way this works is 
, when cold you reach back behind the left end of the generator and pull 
out the choke, while with the right hand turning the key to start. once 
it begins running then slowly slide the choke back in. a really nice set 
up.Lee

[BlindHandyMan] Tree Trimming

2006-09-30 Thread one foxy lady
I am $70 poorer today but at least my trees growing over the top of my house 
and I have a 2 story and over the top of my patio cover as well all in the 
backyard where this tree was providing alittle bridge for some pesky 
acrobatic ants cousins to the carpenter ants this is not a joke..were coming 
into my upstairs bathroom dead..according to the pest control company last 
year who advised me to give them $300 to rid me of these pests and for one 
year did not only when it was winter did they disappear..so when the time 
came again I was asked if I wanted to renew my contract and I said no 
since the problem was still occuring. I was then told..if I cut back my tree 
it would prevent them from gaining access into the house!
Well let me tell you it took much much effort on my part not to give this 
guy a piece of my mind!!
The very company who a year ago took $300 to rid me of them and now tells me 
to cut the tree back! Well thanks to my gardener and a product 
called..Pruneing Seal which is found at Ace Hardware in either a spray or a 
paint it on seals the cut limbs from ever growing back..
It cost $5.96 and doesn't take much..a friend of mine had done it to his 
trees 4 years ago and the tree limbs have never grown back.

  Please correct me if I am wrong but a tip to remember when splitting wood is
  to feel the way the grain of the wood is running and strike the wood with
  your blade going the same way as the grain instead of going across the
  grain.

Geof, this choke I am referring to on the newer generator is first, in a
weird location. One has to reach behind and to the left of the generator
and instead of this being an external operation, the choke is like a
very small rounded pipe with a loop on the end in which to stick a
finger or thum . this loop allows the operator to push in or pull out
the choke..Maybe it was designed  to be a stiffer operation of moving
this choke , but being a bit parynoid  and knowing the chocke seems to
be a lightweight  metal I want to lube it so it can slide and out  a lot
easier.. my previous generator just had an external lever which  you
moved left or right and it was right in the front. the way this works is
, when cold you reach back behind the left end of the generator and pull
out the choke, while with the right hand turning the key to start. once
it begins running then slowly slide the choke back in. a really nice set
up.Lee

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Chainsaw

2006-09-30 Thread rj
First make sure you have the chain going the right direction. I do this by
lightly running my thumb over the chain to make sure the chain cutting blade
on the top of the bar is going away from me. Tighten the tension enough to
hold the blade in place and turn the chain by hand and this will set the
chain in the socket and hold it in place in the bar groove. Sure hope this
is of some help and I am making my self clear. For before I started to use
this method, I was about to throw the chainsaw in the garbage.

 I am, rapidly,  going around the bend in my fruitless attempts to get the
chain to fit and
 remain in the bar groove.
 I have changed the chain before successfully, but how I did it beats me!
 I drop the chain over the flywheel, and then fit the bar underneath.  What
is the trick to
 getting the chain into the part of the groove that is under the flywheel.
 The only tool I have when doing this maddening job is a combination socket
 spanner/screwdriver.

 Any tips and tricks that I can use and thus, save my tattered nerves from
complete
 destruction?
