Re: [BlindHandyMan] Step lively.
Right on Dan, I will be intetrested to hear how you get along with this. I am having computer trouble, mine is in the computer hospital and some how the alternate identity which used to work on this computer of Janet's for me isn't working so I am on Web mail which I hate so, until my computer is well again I will only have modest access. Hope you enjoy good success with this method of constructing stairs. It will result in very professional finished construction. Dale Leavens On Tue Jun 1 14:03 , Dan Rossi sent: Â Yeah, I am still working on the basement stairs. Since the stringers were short, I decided to just move them 3.5 inches straight up. This has the effect of moving the treads further into the stringers. I chose 3.5 inches because it was roughly correct, and I had some chunks of 4X4 I could rest the bottoms of the stringers on while setting things up. I got the one stringer in place, then very very carefully located and screwed in, a chunk of 2X10 exactly where the first tread would go. I then built a jig that would enable me to rout out the riser and tread dados. I set the jig over that registration chunk of 2X10. This allowed me to attach a chunk of 2X4 to the back of the jig right along the edge of the stringer. I clamped it in place, removed the registration block and routed the first tread. Then all I had to do was release the clamp, slide the jig down the length of the stringer, and by lining up the top of the riser slot in the jig, to the bottom front corner of the routed tread, I was ready to routt out the next riser and tread dado. It worked amazingly well. The nose of the treads didn't walk forward or back on the stringer at all. I then propped both stringers in place. I placed a tread in the dado on the one tread, then carefully leveled it, and marked exactly where it hit the other stringer. I got as far as setting the registration chunk of 2X10, but haven't routed out the second stringer yet. I am at least making progress. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University.

[BlindHandyMan] Maytag dish washer
Well, we have one of these beasts. I think I am going to change the decision that Karen made. I did not talk to her first. She set up an appointment to have it fixed on Tuesday. I am leaning to purchasing a new one. This one is three years old and already had a motor replaced. There are very few nights that it does not run and some days when it is run twice. --- Please visit my home page; it is motivational, inspirational and humorous with many resources for the blind. http://www.lennymchugh.com Lenny Please Copy and Paste into New Message to pass along.

Lenny, If it's any consolation, my wife and I had a Maytag a few years back with an extended warranty After about 6-7 service calls for a myriad of issues they finally let us choose a new one @ nor charge.

Since the repair is free and I would only get $150 on a $530 machine, it is probably best to get this one fixed. Then when it dies I would get a different brand. The one appliance store that I deal with stopped carrying that brand about 2 years ago.

[BlindHandyMan] picnic table matterials
Does anyone know where one can buy those hollow aluminum 2 by 4's that modern picnic tables are made of? Then, of course, the brackets to hold them together and other necessary hardware? Maybe some are made of plastic? Thanks.

More accurately, I guess, how bad are the losses between the compressor and chillers? Obviously, there are a lot of variables, like how far apart, and are you running them through the hot attic verses a cool basement. One concern I have is that if I get a professional installation, they will just run the lines on the outside of my house, where I would run the lines inside the walls.

[BlindHandyMan] Maytag, some people
Karen told me that when she spoke to the woman at the call center she told her that she also has one of these models. The strange part is that the woman has had it for over a year and every time she used it she could smell something burning. For me the first whiff of something burning Maytag would have been on the phone. She told Karen because of that she never left her home when it was running. I know one or two guys that would do the same thing, so it is not gender specific.
