Re: [BlindHandyMan] Install a Ceiling Fan with Light Assembly
Well now you do have a point. However, I can point out one example where blowing the air up might be more beneficial. If you have your windows open, the fan in this case will draw air in to the house. What I do believe is in the end, whatever makes you feel more comfortable matters. Now one other thought that comes to mind is if you have a forced air system and depending upon where the vents are located, might also play a role in which direction would work best.

If your fan blows down the air comes up near the walls. if the fan blows up the air comes down near the walls. It looks to me like it's six of one, half a dozen of the other. We have ours set to up all the time because the fan is over Sue's chair and she doesn't like to be blown on. On the other hand I sit close to the TV which is near the wall and I do like it. Regards.

[BlindHandyMan] Hanging wind chimes
Hi All, My husband got me a set of wind chimes and a couple of them are big...as in long.The length of the longest pipe in each set is: 30 40 50 and 60 That is just the length of the longest chime and does not include inches for the part that hangs each chime. I don't think that the clapper or whatever you call it will extend belong the chime. I have had the 30 one for a couple of years now, and the others are to sort of fill out a quartet. The original chime is hung from a wrought iron shepherd's hook and that has done just fine. As a matter of fact, I was contemplating looking at a triple one of those to see if it would be long enough and strong enough to house the 30, 40 and 50 chimes. The 60 incher is the one that will likely prove more challenging to hang. Not only is it long, but it weighs in at 22 lbs. For it, I was thinking of getting an inch or so galvanized pipe because I know I can get at least a 10' one. Enough of it would be driven into the ground to hold the weight. I can't hang it from a straight pole, so I was thinking of using angle joints and a piece or 2 of short pipe to make a hook on the end to hold the chimes. The chimes are basically tuned to each other and I was thinking that by arranging them in a sort of loose swirl that the 4 different voices could then harmonize as nature allows...or as the wind will. I have thought and thought and that is all that has come to mind. I am mainly concerned about properly hanging the bigt one. I need some fresh thoughts. I would really appreciate any helpful hints, suggestions, stories of experiences and ways of hanging good sized wind chimes.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Hanging wind chimes
Do you have a tree in the yard? We get a lot of strong winds at times in this area and I didn't want the chimes on the deck. I moved them to a limb on the tree to cut down on noise at night and there is more wind going through the tree than on the deck. - Original Message - From: NANCY M HILL [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, July 12, 2008 2:51 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Hanging wind chimes Hi All, My husband got me a set of wind chimes and a couple of them are big...as in long.The length of the longest pipe in each set is: 30 40 50 and 60 That is just the length of the longest chime and does not include inches for the part that hangs each chime.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Hanging wind chimes
largest wind chimes I ever hung were somewhat smaller, but I hung them from a tree branch using 100 pound monofilament fishing line (I think.) Fly line might work better as the sun does eventually take a toll on monofilament. To maximize the chiming, I had to trim RDbranchlets, leaves and twigs near the chimes. - Original Message - From: NANCY M HILL [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, July 12, 2008 2:51 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Hanging wind chimes Hi All, My husband got me a set of wind chimes and a couple of them are big...as in long.The length of the longest pipe in each set is: 30 40 50 and 60 That is just the length of the longest chime and does not include inches for the part that hangs each chime.

[BlindHandyMan] changing ceeling fan blades.
hi list I was thinking about getting a new ceiling fan for my bedroom, but I noticed that the blades that I have on mine could be changed there are some screws in back of them or something. any way if I do this or can I do this, will it give me a better breeze? thanks so much.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] changing ceeling fan blades.
Hello, I'm not totally sure how this works, but there are different sizes. It makes sense, because a motor can only handle so much--I wouldn't put blades on it if it's not met for it. You could probably get yourself some new blades, but it more than likely wouldn't help the breeze. The more breeze you have would probably be dependant on the length of the blades.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] changing ceeling fan blades.
I don't think new blades will increase the breeze. You can take one off and show it to someone in a home center or a fan specialty shop to see if they have a replacement blade. Don't run the fan if you take a blade off. If it is older, more than likely what you have is a tired motor and the whole fan needs replaced. - Original Message - From: aadorno1 To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, July 12, 2008 12:17 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] changing ceeling fan blades. hi list I was thinking about getting a new ceiling fan for my bedroom, but I noticed that the blades that I have on mine could be changed there are some screws in back of them or something. any way if I do this or can I do this, will it give me a better breeze? thanks so much.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Hanging wind chimes
hi to hang your chimes securely you can purchase some eye hooks that have a clasp to hold the cord or chain or whatever it is hanging on they then screw in to the wood eve or joist or wherever you hang them for security make sure they are mounted far enough away that they have free room to blow without hitting the structure they are mounted too good luck and much enjoyment Allen Dunbar - Original Message - From: NANCY M HILL [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, July 12, 2008 1:13 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Hanging wind chimes Now that one I hadn't thought about.

[BlindHandyMan] Slip-Proof Sanding Mat
Looking around for other sanding mats I came across two interesting articles. One stated that the pebble type sold at either HD or Lowes left the pattern of the mat in the wood, so the guy tossed it and went to a rubber mat. The other article I copied and pasted the tip and source link. I think that Karen has some of this stuff so I plan to try it before I order the mats. Looking around I think that MLCS has the best price because of the free shipping.If Karen has the shelf liner I will try it next week. A solution that is both practical and inexpensive is a roll of nonslip shelf liner. After cutting an appropriately sized piece of shelf liner off the roll, simply place it on your work bench. Place your workpiece on top of the shelf liner. The wood you are sanding will now stay firmly in place. source: http://www.ronhazelton.com/tips/slip-proof-sanding-mat.htm Lenny __ NOD32 3263 (20080711) Information __ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com Send any questions regarding list management to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To listen to the show archives go to link http://www.acbradio.org/pweb/index.php?module=pagemasterPAGE_user_op=view_pagePAGE_id=33MMN_position=47:29 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] Groups Links * To visit your group on the web, go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/blindhandyman/ * Your email settings: Individual Email | Traditional * To change settings online go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/blindhandyman/join (Yahoo!

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Install a Ceiling Fan with Light Assembly
Last summer I installed one ceiling fan with a remote control operating device purchased separately. This has a thermostatic control which will turn on the fan and even increase the speed of the fan as the temperature of the room increases. This can be set. Of course it is not particularly blind friendly and wiring it in took a little ingenuity getting all that stuff into the electrical box. I doubt I could have worked out the correct wiring either without my seeing daughter home for the summer and available to help. Fortunately she is one of those methodical types who always seems to be able to figure out the instructions. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

I do not want to put another runner on them again. thanks. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
