Re: [BlindHandyMan] Condensation on Storm Door?
Hi, We have steel inner doors, but I really don't know what the storm doors are made of; I think it's heavyduty glass or something. The upper panes can come out, in the spring summer and be replaced with screens. I can't remember the manufacturer, but they were quite expensive to install, when we first moved in.

[BlindHandyMan] Bathtub Questions?
Hi All, Lately, I feel like there is more of a dip in the bathtu, moving towards the front of the tub. Of course, I know it's supposed to slope downward or have a slight decline, in order for the water to drain, but it feels as if that decline is getting steeper. How can we determine if the floor underneath is giving way or needs repair? This is just my observation, but it's starting to worry me. It may be nothing, but I'd like to err on the side of caution! Thanks.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Bathtub Questions?
Claudia, Does your basement extend below the bath tub? If so you should be able to inspect under it. Regrettably, many plumbers are disrespectful of floor joists when installing drain and sewer pipes, I have seen it time and time again when they open stuff up on programmes like This Old House. You might notice other signs like a more shaky floor. If there has been a leak there may be rot but you probably won't see that from above without removing the tub. - Original Message - From: Claudia To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, December 02, 2009 4:23 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Bathtub Questions?

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Condensation on Storm Door?
Claudia, Someone has already suggested that you are probably having air leaking into the space between the doors. the warm moist air will come into contact with the cold storm door and condense. You probably need to improve the weather stripping around the inner door or allow a little more ventilation around the outer storm door so some of the moist air can escape or possibly both. - Original Message - From: Claudia To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, December 02, 2009 4:17 AM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Condensation on Storm Door?

The booster is a radio frequency amplifier you put on the output of the transmitter, between it and the antenna. That should work fine if the transmitter is made to drive a 75 ohm antenn system. The cheaper transmitters are made to drive a short whip directly which may not be a 75 ohm match. the audio source into the transmitter is just like driving any audio line level input. tom a

The C Crain transmitter has nothing but a short whip. I would have to open up the back, something I'm not afraid to do, and find the ground so I can take off a coaxial line to the booster. Regards.

However they gotta catch you and the FCC should have better things to do.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Inventors ahoy!
Hi Jewel, I've noticed recently trained guide dogs I've seen are much more prone to such inappropriate behavior than they used to be. I'll not subject you and the list to my somewhat prejudiced opinions about why GRIN The device is electrically simple, and I bet you can find the parts at a radio shack if you have those available. All you need is a battery, probably 9 volt with connector, a 'normally closed switch of the push button type, and the noise maker. I bet shlock sells a lout alarm type noise maker all in one just what you need, I'll get my wife to look some time in a couple days and see if we can give you a number. Most push button switches have 3 terminals, the swinger and normally closed and normally open contacts. You just wire a loop with the battery, it's negative terminal going to the negative terminal of the alarm, the positive battery terminal goes to the swinger of the switch, and the normally closed contact of the switch goes to the positive terminal of the alarm. that means the thing is not screaming till you release the button. The trick is packaging it the way you like. You could even make a box with a hinged top arranges so that when the top has no weight on it, the switch is not pressed, but when the top is pressed down by more weight it presses the switch nd opens the contact the contact to the alarm. If you can build it your self, you're more likely to get what you want physically than if I for example built you one, but I could do so if nobody closer offers. You don't have to solder wires, small wire nuts' should do the job, just strip wires, twist together and maybe add a bit of tape. Rest is obtaining the box, parts and deciding how to mount stuff. does this help any? tom Fowle

[BlindHandyMan] burglar alarms for large pups
Dear Jewel: A somewhat more complicated method might involve the installation of a motion detector over the area you wish to protect from Buddy, which could be turned of and on remotely with a hand held control, and when activated by motion in the area protected, an alarm would be triggered, or a bright light might also dissuade your big boy from raiding the kitchen. You could always use a loud piece of what some call music, to give him a scare. One other method might be to install one of the game cameras over the table, and those devices are designed to flash a picture when movement is detected. The only problem here is that you would again need a remote of-on switch, or you would end up with a lot of pictures of Jewel at dinner.
