RE: [BlindHandyMan] removing tar idea

[Edward Przybylek]

Hi Lenny,
 
Call a carpet store and ask where you can get the spray for removing gum
from carpeting.  It's designed to freeze gum when it is applied.  This makes
the gum brittle and easy to remove from carpeting.  It will probably do the
same thing for the tar.
 
Take care,
Ed

Subject: [BlindHandyMan] removing tar idea



Today I had a rubber roof installed on my back porch. At the top of the
steps there is one glob of tar or roof cement. It is on the top concrete
step where I will probably step in it when the sun heats it up and makes it
soft. Also my guide dog often lays there.
To remove I have a few ideas wonder if there is a better way. 
I don't want to scrape and use paint thinner I think that would create a
bigger mess.
My ideas are to freeze it and use a wire brush attachment in my drill and
have the shop vac collecting the stuff.
To freeze I thought about dry ice if it is available in a fairly small
quantity. Or using a can of air this will freeze if I hold the nozzle very
close or last resort pile ice cubes. 
Any ideas?

[BlindHandyMan] Manual for Talking Volt Meter

[Bill Gallik]

Several weeks ago there was a thread on this list regarding where to order a
reasonably priced talking volt meter.  Well guys (and gals) I ordered one
and it just came in the mail this morning, but I'm having a bit of a problem
figuring how to use the darn thing.  Is there an online manual or user guide
of any kind? The wires seem to have these oversized studs on the end of them
that do not fit into the meter and I can't see how those "caps" might be
taken off, can anybody advise please? And how does one get the battery cover
off? Help!

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Product Recalls

[spiro]

we had 1.5 inch sirloin the other night and even with the infra red and 9 
minutes on each side, I still couldn't get the
Pittsburgh style I wanted. (No, I didn't give it 9 mins of infra red, 
probably more like 3 mins a side of that scorcher) so I'd have been happy 
with a torch.
But a leak and flames on me paw wouldn't make the steak taste better.
Got an "Pittsburgh style" over there Dan?

Freeze it or get it as cold as possible and then scrape it off.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Suggestions for sound/echo proofing my shop

[Mike Rusk]

I would say keep your blades sharp, your motor oiled and like Dan said, 
establish a good relationship with the neighbor.  Who knows, they might be 
woodwork enthusiasts or maybe they would need some shelving or cabinetry.  I 
don't know what size saw you have but they don't seem all that noisey if they 
are properly maintained.  If the basement is unfinished the insolation idea 
sounds practical too.
I think showing consideration goes a long ways in dealing with neighbors 
regardless the tool being used indoors or outside.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Suggestions for sound/echo proofing my shop

[Trouble]

your facing the same thing i did when i moved my bedroom to the basement.
i found a type of particle board called soundboard. it comes about 
3/4 thick and installs only one way. This one way installation has a 
special coating on one side. That coating dampens the sound and stops 
it. you do need something on the front like paneling or drywall to 
make it look nice.
After i put it up. my sound levels where great. i could turn the 
speakers up max and only I could hear. Out side and the rest of the 
house got muffled dull sound  like a low ruffled hum.
it might have another name then soundboard, but its what the pro 
sound shops use and costs about twice of what a good piece of grade A 
plywood costs.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Suggestions for sound/echo proofing my shop

[cliffwilson]

Dear David:
I have used insulation  in stud walls as a sound deadener.  I have stuffed 
six inch bats in to a standard 3.5 inch space, and this works fairly well.  
There are materials out there which are designed  to be used for sound 
deadening purposes, but they are not as available as ordinary fiberglass 
insulation.  Building stud walls in a basement is helpful, if the basement is 
dry, as you get the advantage  of energy savings, along with sound deadening.  
Insulation can also be used in the joists to reduce the amount of sound which 
penetrates your living space and then on to your neighbors.
I would also recommend that you listen to that sage from Pittsburg, as 
having good relations with your neighbors is better than trying to prevent 
their ears from ever hearing the whine of a saw or sander.  Some of those 
joiners are difficult to muzzle.

Yours Truly,

Clifford Wilson
