RE: [BlindHandyMan] Maybe ergent help request
I just need to ask if you are sure it is in the vent? I had a mouse in the wall in my kitchen and thought it was in the stove vent pipe that goes to the roof. It was just lookin' for a home. Had nothing to do with the roof. A little snadk of peanot butter on a lovely wooden slab solved it. Betsy At 03:23 PM 10/28/2006, you wrote: >Lol. Ok. Sounds cool when I flush.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] removing air from heating system
Good morning, quite a number of years ago I had automatic bleeders installed on the heating system in the building I was managing. They used a kind of felt to let air out, which would swell when it was wet and reseal the system when air was purged. You should note that when introducing new water into a system it has plenty of gases dissolved in it. Hence, it takes a while after new water is added to purge the gas. The other problem in hot water heating is pipe scale. You may have to undo a joint or two where there is no heat and blow air through to see if there is some blockage. While this defies logic in a single loop, one could speculate safely that if the blockage is toward the end of the return, one could get heat on the output side and far less of it beyond the blockage point. Good luck. - Original Message - From: mark To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, October 28, 2006 1:35 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] removing air from heating system it seems to be about a 30 year old system it has 1 zone as i said which after the pump takes a bunch of y's to several differant rooms in the home i had this also confirmed by someone who is sited just incase i was missing the valves in the road map of pipes the system is a black iron pipe from the stoker to the heating units the black pipe goes to the floor then there is a inch and a quarter fitting from black pipe to 3 quarter copper for the base board and stays black pipe to all radiators it seems to have had all radiator heat at some time because i had found the holes in the hard wood flooring that would have served for radiators seems like at some point the system may have frose and bursted the lower level radiators then the system of base board was added radiators are like gold in my area and very costly to replace when i open all the bleeder valves on the second floor i get a steady stream of hot watter had these open for quite a while with several people and many 5 gallon buckets catching the water in hope of getting some air out not sure what else to try need some thoughts thanks mark - Original Message - From: "Dale Leavens" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Saturday, October 28, 2006 1:14 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] removing air from heating system > Do you have the circulating pump running?

Re: [BlindHandyMan] building up an engine
If you are replacing the cam, you must replace the lifters. Your existing lifters will have mated with your current cam and have irregularities in their surface. If you use them your new cam will wear "you regularly" running the risk of breaching the case hardening and destroying the cam.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Keeping track of plug wires
Another way to do this is to use some cheap iron wire to make up a holder for your wires in their current positions. Then you can extract them from the, pull your distributor, do your maintenance, drop your distributor back in, install your new, and plug the wires in the way they came out.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Keeping track of plug wires
The very best way to do this is to take note of the firing order of your engine, for example, the General Motors V-8 18654372. Take special note of where number one is, and you cannot go wrong, as all distributor caps, including replacements, will only fit one way. You want to be very careful to move or bend the wires as little as possible, as they do not have an ordinary wire core, and their innards can be fractured easily.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] building up an engine
Sense you don't want to go the ring bore way. How about shave the heads. You get the same result but cheaper. The cam is good idea. All needed there is a reset of the valves. The headers are another good shot at increasing the blow back pressure. On that intake see if you can get a tall one. The more clean air to fuel mix can also beef up a bit. Just remember that when you beef that mileage goes out the window to how far you go.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Rewiring a House
Most of the time when they did cloth wrapped wire it ran in single strand and had the house as ground by way of plumbing pipes on cold water side. Going threw the walls won't be easy or in some places pretty. When I did my dads house. I went with the base board. It was easy to get at and same to replace if gave problems. Most of them old houses have a good 8 to 10 inch base board so lots of work room. If you don't redo the fuse box. Just make sure you do have a good ground. Cold water pipes work, but can also let you know how much when using. Most house wiring goes with code at 14/3 ground wire, but for safety I would go with 12/3 ground. Its cheaper and will hold a load a lot better.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] On sale at Crappy Tire
Actually Canadian Tire have a few interesting items on sale this week. I am becoming a little disappointed with some of the quality though. I have a number of bar clamps I bought on sale about a year ago which I have successfully broken by squeezing too hard and as you know, I am not a big man. That is an under statement, I am a small man. I did pick up the Accu-rip saw guide on my way home from the barber shop yesterday, probably really good value at $19.95 but at 50 bucks probably a little too much. I had hoped to do a little cutting for the carcass of the router table today but it is still snowing and although not a lot below freezing the wind is blowing like mad. very difficult on bare fingers and metal tools. I'll have to go out and pick up a few things still in the yard, my chipper is out there filling up with snow and I haven't put my little water feature to bed yet and I have a roller full of water which I hope hasn't frozen through too much to drain a substantial amount of the water out of. I expect we will get a bit of a thaw yet, I don't remember ever having to do trick-or-treat in the snow, I do remember sleet coming down and very cold . We don't usually get snow that stays before Remembrance day but the plows are out this morning so this year might be an exception. Right now there is probably 4 inches of snow laying on the ground. So much for global warming and the "greenhouse effect". I went up town yesterday in my cowboy boots, they do have rubber on the souls but that was only marginally better than leather, there wasn't a lot of snow but wet enough to be really slippery. I will probably wear them down to Houston just to be "in the spirit" of the city but I will have to bring the winter boots up from the basement today and give them a good coat of Dubin for the leather, silicone spray for Janet's suede. I really like low leather boots with sheepskin lining. Most however have zippers up the side which generally fail after a season or two and it is getting hard to find a shoe repair to mend them. They are expensive enough that I hate to discard them and generally they wear really well. The sheep fleece is wonderful stuff compared with synthetic and even when I visit the city where it is warm your feet don't get wet with sweat. The Australians and New Zealanders make pretty good boots and I will probably order some Ugg boots, I found a supplier in Quebec just the other day. Only thing with them is that they use the hide alone which has a suede sort of finish. This is fine in the cold weather but in the spring when things get wet and buddy a little difficult to keep nice and I am not one to spend too much time working on things like that. They don't have zippers though which is a good thing, one thing less to fail and the price looks pretty good, about a hundred bucks. I also like sheepskin mitts, they keep your hands really warm and when you push them into a pocket form a good deep pocket for a folded cane thus preserving the inside lining of the jacket pocket. Some day I am going to have a leather or heavy canvas pocket made up specifically for holding folding canes which can be zipped or hooked or pinned onto or into jackets and coats. I continuously destroy pockets with my canes. A few years ago I found and bought Janet a purse in England which had a pocket under it for keeping an umbrella. Worked wonderfully for sliding a cane into instead of the umbrella and more secure too, no risk of something falling out of your purse when withdrawing a cane. Good to see you posting again Geoff, haven't heard from you in a long time. Sorry, I sort of drifted from the handyman theme.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Rewiring a House
Well Dale I am not sure what you mean by a bayonet fetting. The one that comes to my mind is the two screws that clamp a semi flat piece of steel against the back and the two screws are only accessible from outside the box. The fitting then fits into a 1/2 inch knock out and is held in with a locknut. Some times you can snake a slim screwdriver along side the box, but not if the screws are away from you. Last resort pry the box away from the stud slightly and saw the nails off with a sawsall,metal cutting jigsaw or a hand hacksaw blade and remove the box from the wall. They can be reused by drilling holes in the side of the box next to the stud and installing a couple of screws. Code doesn't reqquire stapling to the stud when fishing in voids. And as someone said this is nothing but hot dirty nasty work. By the way if it was done correct originally only one lath was totally cut out the one at the and bottom was only notched or at least if it was installed after the lath. Of course if the lath was installed after the wire and box anything could have been done. I guess the notched lath was more for a new box being installed in an existing lath and plaster wall. Lots of ways to do things and every box may be different in his house.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Keeping track of plug wires
You can use labelled spring clothespins, or make tag labels by putting Braille on thin aluminum or dymo tape and soft copper wire or twist ties. These can be attached to either end of the wires, themselves. As for the cap: All you really need to know is the firing order and the number 1 plug position. You can either put a piece of tape on the cap at the number 1 position, or make a legible scratch mark on it at this position. You can figure out the firing order by checking the wires before you remove them. Another way would be to use old wire boots from an old set of wires and wire on Brailled tags. You could also make Braille tags to wire on the caps that use male terminals or attach Braille labels to golf tees to insert into female cap terminals. Hope this gives you several option ideas. - Original Message - From: Robert J.

Ok, I was hoping you had a better way than I for rewiring these old houses. I thought maybe you had a method of getting new wire into old fixtures which did not require removing them, I sure haven't figured a way.

I am almost sure it was in the vent because they move around and I only heard it scratch behind the wall when the toilet flushed or ran the water in the sink.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Rewiring a House
Well if the clamps are on the inside or you can pry out another knockout the use of afish tape might work. Sometimes taking out the box is quicker in the longrun. If one is working in a wall dropping a small chain from above and a second person fishing with a single wire hook can produce results. Smoke alarms??? In the ceiling I guess. Mount what is called a ceiling pan on the surface. Did I understand correctly you already had the cable ran? A ceiling pan is a round junction box that is only 1/2 inch in depth. If you carefully cut chisel out the plaster you can then mount it to the lath without cutting them. The box is flush with the finished plaster. If the canopy of the new fixture/smoke alarm is deep enough the ceiling pan is totally covered even if mounted on top of the plaster. They usually come in a 3 or 3 1/2 inch diameter. Seems like maybe even a 4 inch. Probably depends onn the brand.
