RE: [BlindHandyMan] Dodge Intrepid
Could. failing oil pump, plugged oil pump pickup screen, worn bearings, etc... basically anything that would cause the oil pressure to not be as high as it should be. The sensor could be bad, but if it were my car, i would hook it up to a oil pressure gauge that gave the exact reading for the pressure, and go from there. last I knew the light came on when the oil pressure was at or below 8 PSI.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Re: digital compliant TVs
From what I understand from my broadcast engineer friend, the digital xmissions take somewhat less bandwidth than analog and can be packed closer together. You don't have to skip chanels to get the coverage you want as you often did with analog chanel assignments because the stronger digital signal overrides the weaker one always. You'll never get a bad picture, either all or nothing. I guess that's an improvement. Tom WA6IVG
[BlindHandyMan] REMOVING PAINT OR VARNISH WITH CHEMICALS
* Many home repair jobs require you to remove a coat of old paint or varnish before applying new finish. * You can remove old paint or varnish using one of three different methods. The first involves using a chemical paint or varnish remover to soften the painted surface. Then, the old paint can be scraped off or washed away with water. * Paint can also be sanded away or removed with heat. In most cases, chemical paint removers are the easiest and fastest means for removing old paint or varnish. * Chemical paint and varnish removers are available in a variety of semi-paste and liquid forms. Almost all chemical removers are referred to as paint removers or paint strippers. * There are several basic types of paint removers. * Liquids are primarily for clean coatings and removing one or two layers of paint. This formula dries too quickly to remove multiple layers of paint. Good for detail areas or irregular surfaces. Also good for the stubborn spots after a washable has been used. * Brushables are a thick, paste-like formula that allows the paint remover to be applied in heavy layers so that it stays wet in order to strip multiple layers (up to 10 or more) in one application. Allows remover to cling to vertical or even overhead surfaces. Some paint removers are the wash away or water wash types. These terms simply indicate that the paint remover formula includes an emulsifier that permits the chemicals to mix with water and be rinsed away with a hose. * Use care when using this type of remover on fine furniture. Too much water can cause damage to the grain in the wood. * Read the labels on all paint remover cans and follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully. * When removing paint, pour part of the paint remover into a small, wide mouth metal can (Fig. 1). A can with a plastic resealable lid works especially well. * Using a good quality brush, spread the remover thickly and evenly over the surface. Brush in one direction (Fig.2 ) Try not to brush over areas that are already covered with paint remover. * Sprayables are for easy application. Some removers come with a spray bottle or sprayer. These removers are thin enough to spray yet thick enought to cling. Most of these removers are water washable. * Aerosols are the most convenient and fastest way to apply paint remover. These removers are sprayed on and create a foamy, clinging layer thick enough to remove several layers of paint. If needed, reapplication is much easier, too! These removers are perfect for smaller jobs and detail work where brush application is difficult. Aerosol paint removers are available almost everywhere conventional removers are sold. * Some newer removers contain chemicals that are more environmentally friendly. These removers generally work slower than more conventional types, but some allow use indoors with good ventilation. These are more expensive, but for people who are sensitive toward harsh chemicals, may offer an excellent choice. * In addition, several types of specialty removers are sold to remove certain coatings or using on a specific surface, These include stain removers for surfaces such as fiberglass. * After scraping, use a suitable solvent such as ethanol or mineral spirits (or water if a water washable paint remover was used.) * For difficult to remove coatings, removal can be speeded up by scratching the coating with coarse sandpaper, but be careful not to deeply scratch the underlying surface. Then apply the remover and cover with plastic film to keep the remover wet. * Check the label of the paint remover to see how long you should leave the remover on the surface, usually about 20 to 30 minutes. Test the condition of the surface by rubbing the blade of a chemical-resistant scraper in a circular motion to see if the paint has been loosened (Fig. 3). * If the scraper cuts through to the surface of the wood, the paint remover has done its job. Always wear chemical-resistant gloves and work in a well-ventilated area. * Apply paint remover to a manageable area. Only cover an area that allows you to scrape or wash away the paint remover before it dries. * Lay the paint remover on thick, and do not stir it after applying it to the surface. Give the chemicals time to act. * To help keep the area clean and make clean-up easier, use a cardboard box with a heavy layer of newspaper to catch the paint and remover. * When the paint remover has done its job and the surface is softened (Fig. 3), you are ready to remove the loose paint. It is usually best to remove as much remover and paint as possible the first time. A scraper works well for this (Fig. 4). * Follow this with a medium grade of steel wool, old rags or an abrasive scouring pad (Fig. 5). * For hard-to-remove spots, you may need to apply a second coat of paint remover. Wetting the steel wool with paint remover will also work in some cases. * After cleaning and allowing to dry, most surfaces will need to be lightly sanded to
Re: [BlindHandyMan] Re: digital compliant TVs
Tom: this is the theoretical and laboratory thinking. in reality, should the signal become lower than the threshold, then their is a toatl loss of interpretation resulting in thumps and bangs which are particularly intrusive and unpleasnt. that is why it is important to make sure that the sensitivity of the receiver, gain of the antenna and signal strength give rise to a favourable result.

Re: Re:[BlindHandyMan] water saver johns
Dale wrote. that some use air pressure with the water. As the reservoir fills it displaces air under pressure which is captured and released behind the water to add a sort of jet effect. Did I dream that up? No you didn't. Summer before last I stayed in a hotel in Jacksonville that had a retro fit into an older toilet. The was a clear water mark in the tank where it used to fill up to. The inserted equipment was a plastic thing that is like a fat capitol H with a third vertical piece in the middle. After you flushed it the plastic tank filled compressing the air to the same pressure as city water. There was no shut-off valve. It just flowed until it couldn't any more. I assume there was a check valve to keep water from flowing back out if the utility pressure should drop below what was in the tank. When it flushed it was like one of those tankless toilets that you often find in public restrooms. Quite a blast. Regards. Max. K 4 O D S.

As the reservoir fills it displaces air under pressure which is captured and released behind the water to add a sort of jet effect. Did I dream that up? Could be!

But that is my ignorance showing. I do remember one high wall tank that seemed to work well consistantly. As long as it works, I'm happy to have your guidence. We have a hole in the floor, (covered) and I've been told a new vanity and shower door are being added to the job. hahaha On Mon, 7 Jan 2008, chiliblindman wrote: Spiro, the standard toilet that most of us probably know, have the valve in the bottom of the tank operated by the flush handle. The valve less have a kind of tank or bucket inside the tank that tilts to dump. The push to make water saver toilets resulted in small tanks that didn't work and inserts into older ones that didn't work right. They displaced water volume in order to displace water usage. The newer ones kind-a have the same tank size and some have the same water volume; but, only the top part of the water is used. The water, located in the upper portion of the tank has the power and momentum. The water mass gives pressure even if it is not all used and the height of drop adds power to flush faster. I hope that makes it a little clearer and not muddied the whole idea. The real old toilets with a water tank near the ceiling always flushed good with a smaller water volume plus a roar and a half. Do you remember those? It would not surprise me if they came back in designer fashion. bob [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] To listen to the show archives go to link http://acbradio.org/handyman.html or ftp://ftp.acbradio.org/acbradio-archives/handyman/ The Pod Cast address for the Blind Handy Man Show is. http://www.acbradio.org/news/xml/podcast.php?pgm=saturday Visit The Blind Handy Man Files Page To Review Contributions From Various List Members At The Following address: http://www.jaws-users.com/JAWS/handyman/ Visit the archives page at the following address http://www.mail-archive.com/blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com/ If you would like to join the JAWS Users List, then visit the following address for more information: http://www.jaws-users.com/ For a complete list of email commands pertaining to the Blind Handy Man list just send a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo!

Re: [BlindHandyMan] saw horses
Most saw horses today are adjustable. The right height is what ever is most comfortable for you to work. I'm 6'3 so I don't want a set that are only 30 inches tall. If you are 5'8 you won't like using my 42 inch tall horses for long. If you are planning to build your own, you have a lot of say in how tall they are. If you are going to buy some, you'll have a lot of choices in ready made adjustments. Confused yet? I have 2 sets. A set of Stanley Fat Max and a set I bought from Home Depot years ago. The Stanley horses are a lot of plastic but fairly light weight. The set from Home Depot are steel and get rather heavy. But then to, the steel set will hold a lot more weight. Take a trip to a home center and have them show you their different choices. Even if you want to build your own, make the trip. You can pick up on a lot of ideas by seeing sets that are popular. - Original Message - From: Shane Hecker To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, January 08, 2008 11:00 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] saw horses What's the standard hight for a saw horse?

[BlindHandyMan] Installing Your Router Bit Correctly
To use router bits safely (and to get the best results from your router), the router bits need to be installed properly into the router's collet. Improper installation of your bits can cause excessive chatter and could increase the likelihood that the bits will break when in use. First of all, before beginning any routing operation, check your bits to make sure that they are clean, relatively free of pitch, and most of all, sharp. If the bit is dull, chipped, is excessively burned or has any other defect, it should be sharpened or replaced before use. When installing the bit into the collet, do not tighten the collet with the bit seated. Instead, insert the bit until the shank reaches the bottom of the collet, then ease it out about 1/8 - 1/4 before tightening the collet. When the bit is tightened, there should be no less than a 3/4 length of the shank in the collet. If your bit has a shank that is too short to ensure 3/4 is encased within the collet, then the bit should be replaced. There are a few other safety measures to keep in mind whenever you use your router. First of all, remember to always wear appropriate safety gear, including safety glasses and hearing protection whenever you use your router. Second, be sure to set your router to the proper speed for your router bit. Setting your router to an incorrect speed will not only affect the router's performance, but also can cause the bit to break much more easily. Also, before beginning any routing operation, be certain that you give the router's motor time to come up to full speed for the chosen setting. Beginning to route before the bit is at full speed can give less than desired results.
