[BlindHandyMan] supporting outdoor steps?
Outside a glass sliding door, we have some wooden steps that go from a small deck to the ground. Right now, I have a brick under each side but the bricks are slowly sinking into this sandy soil, in Florida. Is there any way to support the steps better? Should I pile another brick on top of each brick? Or, should I get some bigger stones? If so, how big do I need? Or is there another way? Thanks for any ideas.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] supporting outdoor steps?
John, I was all ready to write this snarky response about digging massive footers, many bags of concrete, blah blah blah. All to support a couple of steps. Then I realized you are in Florida, which means your water line is down around six inches or so, which might be problematic for digging those deep footers. You said you are using bricks. Are these the regular brick sized bricks, like 2 or 3 inches by 8 inches long? If so, maybe you could try using some large stepping stones instead. This could help to spread out the weight over a larger area and might prevent the stones from sinking as quickly. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] supporting outdoor steps?
Some larger area stones are in order. pavers, concrete cap blocks or something of that nature should do. You might try compacting the soil some what before you lay the new stones also. A small piece of two by four hit with a hammer will compact it some.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] supporting outdoor steps?
Now I have a little experience with compacting soil. The rain wets it and acts like a lubricant so packing doesn't really help all that much unless you can form a large hat over the area. I would suggest though that you either pour a substantial pad or lay down a couple of large patio slabs. You can get them in excess of 18 inches square and the larger the surface area the better. You might also consider purchasing some of those molded steps. they can be had in pre-cast concrete but those are heavy to adjust later or you can get them in composite materials, stuff like fiberglass. Those are quite light and present a bigger surface area to the ground and would be much more easily lifted to be adjusted if they move.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] supporting outdoor steps?
A couple bags of pre-mix cement to make a pad will do the trick. The bricks aren't wide enough to stop the sinking of the bricks into the sand.A 1 to 1 1/2 foot pad on each side of the steps should do the trick.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] How do I grab the archives
Aloha Matt, This may not be the fastest way to do this, but it will get you there. Below this message is a link to the archives page. I have moved through it in two ways. You can type your query in the search box such as airconditioner. This will bring up lots of items including some from 2007 that didn't look like what you wanted. Or, if you leave the sort by on Thread, it will show you all of the different threads that have been discussed. These appear to be in a List View on my computer, so i used the letter l to move from one list grouping to the next. Once I find the list that I want, I open it and then I can move from one message to the next using the number 3 for Heading Level 3. That's number 3, not F3. I hope this helps.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] painting paneling
Lee, If one use wallboard compound, about three layers in the grewves you can get a smooth wall before painting. Did that in a few rentals, when I had the eye sight.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] painting paneling
There is a product called Wall Doctor here which is a sort of heavy wall paper for putting over paneling and other less than perfect surfaces before painting. It covers the grooves in paneling so you can just paint right on over it. I think I would fill the cracks with something like Polyfilla anyway just to improve the surface that much more before papering over it but it does do a good job.

[BlindHandyMan] airconditioner cleaning article
Chances are that if youve neglected a spring checkup, your air conditioner isnt cooling nearly as well as it could.A years worth of dirt and debris clogging the cooling fins, a low coolant level, a dirty blower fan filter and a number of other simple problems can significantly reduce the efficiency of your air conditioner and wear it out faster. You cant do everything; only a pro can check the coolant level. But you can easily handle most of the routine cleaning chores and save the extra $120 that it would cost to have a pro do them. In this article, well show you how to clean the outdoor unit (called the condenser) and the accessible parts of the indoor unit (called the evaporator). All the steps are simple and straightforward and will take you only a few hours total. You dont need any special skills, tools or experience. If you arent familiar with air conditioners and furnaces/blowers, dont worry. Well walk you through the basics. See Parts of a Central Air Conditioner, p. 107, to become familiar with how an air conditioner works and the parts of the system. You may have a different type of central air conditioner than we show herea heat pump system, for example, or a unit mounted horizontally in the attic. However, you can still carry out most maintenance procedures we show here, because each system will have a condenser outside and an evaporator inside. Use the owners manual for your particular model to help navigate around any differences from the one we show in our photos. And call in a pro every two or three years to check electrical parts and the coolant level ($150). TIP Call for service before the first heat wave, when the pros become swamped with repair calls! Cleaning the condenser Clean your outdoor unit on a day thats at least 60 degrees F. Thats about the minimum temperature at which you can test your air conditioner to make sure its working. The condenser usually sits in an inconspicuous spot next to your house. Youll see two copper tubes running to it, one bare and the other encased in a foam sleeve. If you have a heat pump, both tubes will be covered by foam sleeves. Your primary job here is to clean the condenser fins, which are fine metallic blades that surround the unit. They get dirty because a central fan sucks air through them, pulling in dust, dead leaves, dead grass and the worst culpritfloating cotton from cottonwood trees and dandelions. The debris blocks the airflow and reduces the units cooling ability. A typical central air conditioning system Figure A Parts of a central air conditioner Click Image to enlarge. The outside unit, called the condenser, contains a compressor, cooling fins and tubes and a fan. The fan sucks air through the fins and cools a special coolant, which the compressor then pumps into the house to the evaporator through a copper tube. The coolant chills the fins and tubes of the evaporator. Warm air drawn from the house by the blower passes through the evaporator and is cooled and blown through ducts to the rooms in the house. The evaporator dehumidifies the air as it cools it, and the resulting condensation drains off to a floor drain through a tube. The blower unit and ducting system vary considerably depending on whether you have a furnace (shown), a heat pump or some other arrangement. It may be located in the basement, garage, furnace room or attic. Always begin by shutting off the electrical power to the unit. Normally youll find a shutoff nearby. It may be a switch in a box, a pull lever or a fuse block that you pull out (Photo 1). Look for the on-off markings. Vacuum the fins clean with a soft brush (Photo 2); theyre fragile and easily bent or crushed. On many units youll have to unscrew and lift off a metal box to get at them. Check your owners manual for directions and lift off the box carefully to avoid bumping the fins. Occasionally youll find fins that have been bent. You can buy a special set of fin combs ($10 at an appliance parts store) to straighten them. Minor straightening can be done with a blunt dinner knife (Photo 3). If large areas of fins are crushed, have a pro straighten them during a routine service call. Then unscrew the fan to gain access to the interior of the condenser. You cant completely remove it because its wiring is connected to the unit. Depending on how much play the wires give you, you might need a helper to hold it while you vacuum debris from the inside. (Sometimes mice like to over-winter there!) After you hose off the fins (Photo 5), check the fan motor for lubrication ports. Most newer motors have sealed bearings (ours did) and cant be lubricated. Check your owners manual to be sure. If you find ports, add five drops of electric motor oil ($5 at hardware stores or appliance parts stores). Dont use penetrating oil or all-purpose oil. Theyre not designed for long-term lubrication and can actually harm the

Re: [BlindHandyMan] painting paneling
Dear Lee: I tried roughing up some of the paneling, as interior latex does not bond well with the slick finish which was on our paneling. That was not all that successful, so my first wife used kills as the first coat, and that did the trick. I recall that we used roller brushes for most of it, but the indentions were best covered, where the roller missed, with a small brush. I don't recall that we used the foam brushes. I suggest that you experiment with a small area to see how much preparation you are needing to do, before tackling the entire project. Yours Truly, Clifford Wilson - Original Message - From: Lee A.

Tom, I use pine and lynx part of the time, and I was able to click on the mail archive link in the footer and it worked fine. I seem to vaguely remember some issue with trailing slashes, but not sure if there was some config change I made to fix that. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University.
