Re: [BlindHandyMan] picnic table matterials
You can Google those and find them online. There are several metal suppliers I deal with for a variety of different wants. One tip I can share. Watch for places that don't have a minimum order. That will save you a bunch. - Original Message - From: Howard Traxler To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, June 04, 2010 2:06 PM Subject: [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] Flex pipe
Today I decided to put in a outside faucet that I been wanting to do every since I had the house built seven years ago. There were two already, but not where I have my square foot garden. So I was at Home depot and decided to pick up the parts. The job took less than a hour from start to finish, and not a leak in the place. In the good old days, the sweat fitting would have been three times as many. For it only took two Shark bit fittings and 7 feet of flex pipe. Now where was this stuff when I was in the rental business?

How to Remove Water Ring Stains on Fine Wood Furniture | eHow.comHas anyone used this procedure? The other night I had a stemmed glass with ice and some white wine. The glass was sweating and left a ring on one of the tables.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] How to Remove Water Ring Stains on Fine Wood Furniture eHow.com.htm
Never heard that one before. It depends on the color of the ring. The lighter colored rings can often be removed by putting a towel or piece of thicker material over the ring and running over the area with a clothes iron. The iron should be on a fairly low setting and has to be moved back and forth quickly. Keep checking on the progress. Unfortunately, this doesn't work well for totals working alone. You will need sighted help to find the ring and then to watch the progress. Another trick I've done with darker rings is to use automotive rubbing compound. Don't get real rough with rubbing, but a firm circular motion will eventually remove the ring or rings from a tabletop. - Original Message - From: Lenny McHugh To: handyman-blind Sent: Saturday, June 05, 2010 10:53 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] How to Remove Water Ring Stains on Fine Wood Furniture eHow.com.htm How to Remove Water Ring Stains on Fine Wood Furniture | eHow.comHas anyone used this procedure?

Aloha Lenny, Never tried it on water marks, but have used that method successfully to remove tree pitch/sap from wood and tile.
