Re: [BlindHandyMan] home owner insurance

[Dale Leavens]

Of course it doesn't matter if it is your fault or not, if they won't issue a 
policy they just won't.

Water and fire and of course theft are the big issues with insurance.

Roof needs to be satisfactory, heating and electrical and plumbing.

Holes in the ceilings and walls shouldn't matter much except that they speak to 
the rest of the maintenance and home owner attitude. Same is true for the yard 
although they may be concerned about risk for personal injury.

Your water damage history will be a problem regardless of why it happened, if 
the insurers are satisfied that the problem is fixed all should be fine but, 
there is this principle that some dwellings are just bad luck. I once knew a 
woman who was refused automobile insurance because her car had been hit four 
times in one year. She wasn't even in it on any of the occasions but the 
insurers more or less said that if her car was among hundreds in a parking lot 
it would be the one hit and that wasn't a risk they would accept.

Probably the thing to do is get a list of required improvements from the agent 
and work to that.

Another important question you need to answer is how and why is that damage 
happening. 

How old are the kids, are they disciplined enough to direct in getting the yard 
cleaned up? Are you able to direct that work? Appearance can make a big 
impression even if it isn't related to the performance of the building.

Remember too, insurance is to restore what is lost. If the building is damaged 
it will obviously be replaced to a better standard than the loss. In other 
words if it burns down and insurance rebuilds it you can profit substantially 
by reselling something you otherwise couldn't have given away. Insurance 
companies are very aware of some of the baser human motivations.

Just a few reflections.

Dale Leavens.

  Hey Everyone,

  I have myself in a difficult spot and I do not know how to ask what I need
  without giving some of the back ground. It will not help me to get advice
  that does not take in the full picture.

  My home owner's insurance is about to be canceled. Essentially this is based
  on our not keeping our home in good repair. My husband is in total denial
  about it being our fault, but he is wrong. So my two questions are how do I
  get insurance on a house when I have had two water damage claims in the last
  year, and wat are the main things to try and get looking decent before the
  inspection. I do mean essential too. My yard is over grown and I have holes
  in my walls and ceilings.

  I do not know how to make my husband care enough about where we live to be
  better about this. My hope is that now that the kids are all in school I
  will be able to do some of these things myself. It has just become urgent
  because I have got to get someone in here to inspect and approve us for new
  insurance. I am sorry I am not sounding to optimistic here, but I just had
  another big fight with my husband about the roof and other needed repairs. I
  am feeling a little to drained to sound positive.

cement and clothes.
  1 16 ounce bottle Peroxide
  1 small box of baking soda
  2 tablespoons of liquid soap. (lemon if you have it)
  1 gallon of water.
  Mix and use immediately. do not cap or save.

  What is the best way to clean up a skunk spray and can clothing be cleaned? I 
just got a call from my daughter her husband got sprayed this morning taking 
out the trash. The skunk was along side of his porch, this is in the middle of 
town. Anyway he changed his clothes but had to go to work with his new 
fragrance. He works in a factory that has a very strict point system. If you 
are late, call off you get some points and ten points in a year you are fired. 
Anyway my daughter is very upset with the odor in her home.

Thanks RJ, I'll give it a look.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] Using Gas Grill!

[Donnie Parrett]

All of this talk about gas grills reminds me of the guy that jumped out of an 
airplane.  His rip
cord got tangled and wasn't working, so as he plumeted toward the ground, 
frantically pulling on his
rip cord, he met a little old lady going straight up.  He yelled to her and 
asked if she knew
anything about rip cords?  She yelled back and said, No!  Do you know anything 
about gas stoves?



Have a great day, unless you have made other plans.

I think your better off with a cooking basket with a handle.  You can close
the grill lid on the basket with the handle sticking out.  When you need to
turn the food, open the grill lid, pickup the food with the handle and turn
it all over at once.  I bought a basket at Target a few weeks back for 12
bucks.

I was experimenting with frozen chicken fingers and hot wings.  I wanted to
see how they would taste cooked out on the grill verses dropping in hot oil.
The difference is amazing.  Cooking hot wings on the grill in a flippible
basket takes about 20 to 25 minutes which isn't bad sense they are put on
the grill still frozen.

Chicken fingers takes about the same time about 20 to 25 minutes.  They come
out nice and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.  They come
already coated and cook up quite nicely.  As soon as restaurants discover
cooking them on the grill, they'll be offering them on their menus.  No deep
fried fat and the taste is of the sauce and the grill only.  Very good!

Would anybody be interested in joining a cooking on the grill list?  Or are
there any blindness related lists for those of us who love cooking on the
grill?

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Using Gas Grill!

[Alan Paganelli]

The new grills I saw didn't have the old bars even on the smaller grills. 
The only ones that still had them were the portable grills that use the 1 
pound propane cylinders.  I have one of those I keep in the motor home 
because I don't like cooking on some of those grills you see that are open 
to the weather and birds.  I have found though that even with that grill 
that taking off the wire rack before lighting it and spraying it with a non 
stick cooking spray works wonders when it comes to clean up time.

Yes, it certainly isn't anything for fools to mess around with.  Not paying

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Using Gas Grill!

[Alan Paganelli]

I did see one actually.  It had the oven on the right side and had it's own 
burner.  It was marked off in degrees but wasn't interested in an oven gas 
grill.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Using Gas Grill!

[Alan Paganelli]

Yeah, I had one of those too and got rid of it for exactly what your talking 
about.  This new one I got at Target, is non stick.  It tells you in the 
instructions not to scrub it with things like SOS or steal wool etc.  Don't 
use cooking sprays as their not needed.  Fair enough.  I gave them their 
shot.  To my surprise, cleaning it up only required hot water and a scrubby 
which is safe for all non stick cooking utensils.  My basket measures12.5 
inches from left to right.  From front to back, it measures 12 inches and is 
2 inches high.  On the sides are 17 vertical bars.  On the back and front 
are 3 horizontal bars that can be used to set the lid higher or lower.14 
inches long and has a wooden handle. That makes the total length 26 inches 
so care needs to be taken to not run into the handle sticking out of the 
front of the grill with the lid closed.  I have no idea of what kind of non 
stick coating it has on it but it sure does work.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Beware of that noisy hybrid car

[Scott Howell]

Tom, it is unfortunate this would be made optional, however, not surprising. 
COnsider the fact that it seems to be optional when driving to use common sense 
and attention to what and who is around you. Perhaps that puts things into 
perspective just a bit.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Cooking with Gloves - Was: Using Gas Grill!

[Brice Mijares]

We're not talking about flammable gloves.  A person using cloth gloves is 
taking a risk.  Leather gloves will not burn unless you leave it on the 
grill.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Using Gas Grill!

[Victor Gouveia]

Hi Claudia,

One thing I would recommend is making sure that the grill surface are not 
the open grill type, meaning it isn't just bars going from one end of the 
barbeque to the other.

There are grills you can purchase that are almost solid, but still have the 
spaces between the raised parts of the surface, just not as open.

I've always had trouble with those because my food will invariably always 
fall inside, and so I have to life the grill surface, then word my hand in 
to get what I dropped out, and believe me, it's not as easy to just fish 
something out of a hot barbeque with the fire raging.  LOL.

Anyway, I'm sorry if I'm not explaining it right, I really don't know 
exactly what to call the type of surface.

Good luck.

Victor

What other safety feature is optional?

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Using Gas Grill!

[Scott Howell]

I have lost a little hair when cooking burgers, but I do not believe gas grills 
are dangerous for blind people. My wife who is sighted did a rather silly 
thing. She looked into the hole where a match can be inserted if the igniter 
fails. She continued to press the igniter and damn near burned her face. She 
never moved so fast and not realized it in her life. She did end up with some 
singed eye brows and we can laugh about it now. THe point is if you take care 
and pay attention to what you are doing, you will do just fine.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Using Gas Grill!

[Sheryl Nelson]

Aloha everyone,

I too find using the gas grill pretty easy. I 
have a flat top stove in my house and have never 
had gas burners there so when I started using a 
gas grill I too was a little nervous and now I 
love it. All previous advice and encouragement 
from others on this list is great. Some day I 
would like to get a grill with a combination 
small oven don't know if they make that yet but I 
would love it. Living in Hawaii grilling is 
perfect all year long. I have used a charcoal 
grill for years even cooking a turkey at 
Thanksgiving many years on it. Happy grilling. Aloha Sheryl

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Using Gas Grill!

Allan.  We have one of those baskets and the cleanup is a real pain in the butt 
because of how closely the wires are spaced.  Any good techniques for doing 
this fairly quickly and easily.

I think your better off with a cooking basket with a handle.  You can close 
the grill lid on the basket with the handle sticking out.  When you need to 
turn the food, open the grill lid, pickup the food with the handle and turn 
it all over at once.  I bought a basket at Target a few weeks back for 12 
bucks.

I was experimenting with frozen chicken fingers and hot wings.  I wanted to 
see how they would taste cooked out on the grill verses dropping in hot oil. 
The difference is amazing.  Cooking hot wings on the grill in a flippible 
basket takes about 20 to 25 minutes which isn't bad sense they are put on 
the grill still frozen.

Chicken fingers takes about the same time about 20 to 25 minutes.  They come 
out nice and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.  They come 
already coated and cook up quite nicely.  As soon as restaurants discover 
cooking them on the grill, they'll be offering them on their menus.  No deep 
fried fat and the taste is of the sauce and the grill only.  Very good!

Would anybody be interested in joining a cooking on the grill list?  Or are 
there any blindness related lists for those of us who love cooking on the 
grill?

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Using Gas Grill!

[Dale Leavens]

The thermometer on the face of my grill reads 650 degreesF when it runs off the 
scale. I find that even with long handled tools the hairs of my forearms tend 
to smoke. If something flares up while in there it gets pretty hot in a hurry. 
Gloves are a good idea blind or sighted.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] skunk spray

[RJ]

Here is the best spray I located. It was, quick to get rid of the smell. The 
only problem is it may or may not fade cloth. It does a good job of animals, 
cement and clothes.
1 16 ounce bottle Peroxide
1 small box of baking soda
2 tablespoons of liquid soap. (lemon if you have it)
1 gallon of water.
Mix and use immediately. do not cap or save.

just got a call from my daughter her husband got sprayed this morning taking 
out the trash. The skunk was along side of his porch, this is in the middle of 
town. Anyway he changed his clothes but had to go to work with his new

  When my dog got sprayed my vet recommended a mixture of two cups hydrogen 
peroxide (the regular three percent, not the one used for bleaching), a half 
cup of baking soda, and two tablespoons of dish soap. Unfortunately I got this 
invaluable advice the next morning since the little dear had the bad taste to 
get sprayed in the middle of the night, however, I have spoken with many people 
who used a version of this since and they swear by it. I don't see why it 
couldn't be applied to clothing or anything else that was touched by the spray.

  My reflex was to grab for the baking soda which did take care of the bit that 
had dripped on the carpet.

  However, even better I have since discovered Arm & Hammer's Washing Soda! It 
isn't the same as baking soda, and its getting harder to find but is often 
available in the laundry section of the store. Its a large box of powder and 
there is absolutely nothing like it for dealing with unpleasant odours. You can 
use it in many different ways, not just in the washer. It eats protein so can't 
be used on wool that's the only thing to be aware of when using it. A few vital 
boxes helped me get through a very bad (long) cat illness a year or so ago when 
he wasn't able to control his bladder, ... and if you've smelt cat urine then 
you can appreciate how special Washing Soda really is!

  Best of luck to your daughter, ... not an ideal way to start the week!

On the other hand, if you live in an area where you can cook year round on

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Cooking with Gloves - Was: Using Gas Grill!

[Alan Paganelli]

I'm not so sure about that. I never use gloves on the grill and have learned 
to use a double spatchla instead.  No fire risk that way.  Even Consumer 
Reports advises not to use mitts or gloves.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] Using Gas Grill!

[Cy Selfridge]

Hi Dale,

For the most part I can deal with the flare up because I prefer the 90/10
hamburger meat. Some of my family purchase the 75/25 or 80/20 hamburger and
the grease from that can be a problem particularly if the grill is too hot.
My grandson grills like he drives, petal to the metal and this has given us
some wonderful burnt offerings for supper. (LOLLOLLOL)

Also, it is rather important to keep an eye on the meat while grilling
because things can get out of hand when not watched. I do like smoking
things because this is not a problem at all. We have an electric smoker and
it is as good as any I have ever used.

Just refresh the chips about every half hour and it does a fantastic job.
Smoked Jalapeno poppers wrapped in bacon are really hard to beat. 

Cy, The Anasazi

I was given one of those big thick gloves with silicone coating which I like
to use for handling hot stuff on the grill. Sometimes just as a backing to
hold burgers while I slide a spatula under, helps keep the big thick burgers
I make from falling apart when flipping. It is also useful to turn an entire
row of wieners or those good hot sausages in a single motion.
I never concern myself with flare-up, I rather like the singe flavour and am
glad to see the fat burning off.
We like good thick cut pork chops, sirloin or t-bone steak. I haven't done
kabobs for a very long time now but often think of it.

Mine has a warming rack about 5 inches above the main grill surface, I like
to toast buns on it or to make garlicky or cheese bread to go with what ever
else is cooking. Often we wrap potatoes in foil and roast them too, starting
them before the meet. You can't hardly get it wrong, the potatoes will take
a lot of cooking and still taste fine.

I generally start my barbecue with the lid closed but I don't leave the gas
run long if it doesn't start nearly immediately. I shut the gas off, wait a
moment and start again. Even a slight breeze can keep the gas from igniting.


Although this grill continues to start readily it is usually the starter
which fails first. My last one quit working within a year. I kept loosing
those little igniter lighters so for seven or ten years I started it with my
plumbers torch. Drove Janet crazy!

There isn't really any difference between a barbecue and a gas range.
Keeping the propane bottles full is a pain, you might consider direct
connection to natural gas if you have gas to your home. I have two gas
bottles and keep one spare full all of the time because it isn't always
convenient to get a ride to a filling station. This time I also bought a
barbecue with a side burner. Don't use it often but occasionally the
electricity fails here and Janet is a lot easier to get along with if she
gets her tea in the morning.

She is not confident with gas or maybe she just likes me to think that so
she isn't expected to use it. She certainly did use it in England and that
was a primitive range.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Using Gas Grill!

[Alan Paganelli]

I think your better off with a cooking basket with a handle.  You can close 
the grill lid on the basket with the handle sticking out.  When you need to 
turn the food, open the grill lid, pickup the food with the handle and turn 
it all over at once.  I bought a basket at Target a few weeks back for 12 
bucks.

I was experimenting with frozen chicken fingers and hot wings.  I wanted to 
see how they would taste cooked out on the grill verses dropping in hot oil. 
The difference is amazing.  Cooking hot wings on the grill in a flippible 
basket takes about 20 to 25 minutes which isn't bad sense they are put on 
the grill still frozen.

Chicken fingers takes about the same time about 20 to 25 minutes.  They come 
out nice and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.  They come 
already coated and cook up quite nicely.  As soon as restaurants discover 
cooking them on the grill, they'll be offering them on their menus.  No deep 
fried fat and the taste is of the sauce and the grill only.  Very good!

Would anybody be interested in joining a cooking on the grill list?  Or are 
there any blindness related lists for those of us who love cooking on the 
grill?

If you have a 3 burner grill, turn off the center burner and cook your food 
in that safe zone.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Using Gas Grill!

[Alan Paganelli]

I cook on my grill probably more then I do on or in the stove in the 
kitchen.  If you like your food cooked over a camp fire, you can always buy 
a smoker box.  Just fill it up with your favorite kind of wood chips like 
maybe Misdeed or Hickory.  You can buy the wood chips in Wal-Mart.  Come to 
think of it, you can buy the smoker box there too.  They come in all kinds 
of shapes and sizes.  What you do is to fill the box with wood chips.  Let 
the chips soak in cold water for at least 30 minutes prior to cooking.  Even 
an old coffee can works to soak wood chips in.  Place the chips in the 
smoker box and place the smoker box on the grate of the grill.  Because the 
wood chips are wet, they will just smoke and smolder.  You probably can use 
them again by wetting them again.  My wife says their cheap enough for 
single use.  Depending on your taste, you may like this kind of chips for 
this and that kind of chips for something else.  Or no smoke flavored 
anything, take the box out of the grill.

In a pinch, and to see how you would like smoking food, take a peace of tin 
foile maybe 18 inches long.  Make a rectangle out of  and place your wet 
wood chips in the center Fold the sides to make a little package.  With a 
fork punch holes in the top of the package to let the smoke out.  Advantage: 
cheap and when your done, toss it in the trash.  The larger ones let you use 
more chips and more smoke.  Smoked fish cooked on the grill is great!

When my dog got sprayed my vet recommended a mixture of two cups hydrogen
peroxide (the regular three percent, not the one used for bleaching), a half
cup of baking soda, and two tablespoons of dish soap.  Unfortunately I got
this invaluable advice the next morning since the little dear had the bad
taste to get sprayed in the middle of the night, however, I have spoken with
many people who used a version of this since and they swear by it.  I don't
see why it couldn't be applied to clothing or anything else that was touched
by the spray.

My reflex was to grab for the baking soda which did take care of the bit
that had dripped on the carpet.

However, even better I have since discovered Arm & Hammer's Washing Soda!
It isn't the same as baking soda, and its getting harder to find but is
often available in the laundry section of the store.  Its a large box of
powder and there is absolutely nothing like it for dealing with unpleasant
odours.  You can use it in many different ways, not just in the washer.  It
eats protein so can't be used on wool  that's the only thing to be aware of
when using it.  A few vital boxes helped me get through a very bad (long)
cat illness a year or so ago when he wasn't able to control his bladder, ...
and if you've smelt cat urine then you can appreciate how special Washing
Soda really is!

Best of luck to your daughter, ... not an ideal way to start the week!

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Using Gas Grill!

[Alan Paganelli]

house gas stove.  I noticed last night during a trip to K-Mart that 
even the new gas stoves now have cast-iron burners now.

Cooking.  I find this grill a pleasure to cook on, easy to tell at a touch 
what the status is of your burners.  If you think the heat is a little to 
high even on low, you could turn off burners 2 and 4 leaving burners 1, 3, 
and 5 lit.  You can use indirect heating by only using burners 1 and 3 and 
cooking in the center of the grill.  This grill is safe to use outdoors and 
should provide years of back yard fun.

Brand and model number:
Uniflame BCG1059WB
Price: $250
Price actually paid: $220
Weight in box" Aprox. 130 LBS
Notes: We bought our grill brand new in a sealed box.  They also come 
preassembled as well.  Gas tank is sold separately.  There are basically 2 
types.  The most popular is the pre filled tank.  You can find these at 
7-11s etc.  They cost more up front to buy but once you buy your first one, 
you just exchange your old empty tank for a fresh one and pay the exchange 
price.  The biggest advantages are, you always have a new tank and places 
that carry them are numerous.  The second kind is the older refillable kind. 
Advantages are, their cheaper to buy and a few bucks cheaper to refill. 
Disadvantages: it's harder to find a place to refill them.  Unless you have 
a flying J near by that you can get to easily or some other reseller your 
probably better off with the first kind. NLS users can download the July or 
was it the August issue and look for the update to grills.  The Uniflame was 
the only Uniflame they tested.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] Cooking with Gloves - Was: Using Gas Grill!

Have you tried the "Ov Glov"? I have used them indoors and they are really
good but I do not know what they would do on the BBQ grill. It seems to me
that Ov Glov has made a waterproof model which might be very good.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Cooking with Gloves - Was: Using Gas Grill!

I'd use silicone gloves with individual fingers  if I \could find a pair, 
but so far, I've only found the mitten type.  This way, the gloves could be 
washed in soapy water.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] Using Gas Grill!

[Cy Selfridge]

Jerry,

I agree with you.

I do not think anything has a better taste than meat cooked over wood coals
- but - I am not sure it is worth the hassle for everyday cooking.

The gas grill is really nice for cooking larger amounts of food but that
electric kettle grill we had is really hard to beat for convenience. Just
plug it in, select the temp you want, wait a couple of minutes for the thing
to reach temp and away you go. Turn down the thermostat a minute before you
want to turn the meat and very little flare up.

If your electric grill is small enough you can cook indoors and let the
exhaust fan over your cook stove take out the smoke. Really nice when it is
raining or snowing outside.

I used charcoal for a few years then propane for many years after that. Big
improvement, no dirty lighter fluid or charcoal to mess with. Most recently,
for about the past ten years I've been using an electric grill. It's either
on or off. I love it. No more dealing with getting the propane tank filled
or exchanged. The food tastes just as good. You can use the same hickory or
whatever wood chips with it for flavoring.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Using Gas Grill!

[Bill Gallik]

I agree with Al completely except that I would add one more caveat; when 
switching fuel canisters you do need to be certain that attachment hoses are 
tightly and cleanly fastened.  By "cleanly fastened" I mean you must be 
careful to not cross thread those connectors because that could cause a 
leak.  It isn't difficult to make certain hoses are correctly attached but 
it is something that you need be aware.  A sighted person can usually apply 
a film of soapy water on the connections and watch for any bubbling; 
unfortunately a blind person does not have this safe guard option so extra 
care should be taken when swapping out fuel canisters.

But, boy, will you like cooking with one of those gas grills.  Especially 
when you decide at 4:50 in the afternoon to make dinner outside on the 
grill.  Personally, I still use charcoal grills and I suspect they are 
seriously more dangerous than a gas grill - no open flames and all that with 
gas.

Bon appétit!

RE: [BlindHandyMan] Using Gas Grill!

Nothing to be scared of claudia  only thing i would add is to be sure you buy a 
fitted cover for the grill when not in use. Also turn the tank valve off and 
then the burner valves when shutting the thing off and be  absolutely sure you 
buy a spare tank for when you run out of gas in the middle of cooking a meal 
for company which will happen sooner than later.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Using Gas Grill!

[Dan Rossi]

Claudia,

Using a gas grill is pretty straight forward.  Turn on the tank, turn on 
one of the burners, punch the igniter, after you hear the woof of it 
igniting, you can turn on the other burners.  Make sure the lid is up when 
you are firing it up.  A talking instant read thermometer like the one you 
can get from BlindMiceMart, comes in quite handy.  Tongs are also quite 
useful.

Learning how to cook on it takes some practise.  Expect to burn a few 
things at first.  You will need to learn about where to put things on the 
grill.  You can place stuff directly over the flames.  You can place it 
forward of the flames.  Or you can even turn off one of the burners, and 
place the food in that spot so that you are cooking with indirect heat. 
It's just a matter of getting used to it, but I think you will enjoy it.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] skunk spray

[Joy Cyr]

When my dog got sprayed my vet recommended a mixture of two cups hydrogen 
peroxide (the regular three percent, not the one used for bleaching), a half 
cup of baking soda, and two tablespoons of dish soap.  Unfortunately I got this 
invaluable advice the next morning since the little dear had the bad taste to 
get sprayed in the middle of the night, however, I have spoken with many people 
who used a version of this since and they swear by it.  I don't see why it 
couldn't be applied to clothing or anything else that was touched by the spray.

My reflex was to grab for the baking soda which did take care of the bit that 
had dripped on the carpet.

However, even better I have since discovered Arm & Hammer's Washing Soda!  It 
isn't the same as baking soda, and its getting harder to find but is often 
available in the laundry section of the store.  Its a large box of powder and 
there is absolutely nothing like it for dealing with unpleasant odours.  You 
can use it in many different ways, not just in the washer.  It eats protein so 
can't be used on wool  that's the only thing to be aware of when using it.  A 
few vital boxes helped me get through a very bad (long) cat illness a year or 
so ago when he wasn't able to control his bladder, ...  and if you've smelt cat 
urine then you can appreciate how special Washing Soda really is!

Best of luck to your daughter, ... not an ideal way to start the week!

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Using Gas Grill!

[Brice Mijares]

One more item I forgot to mention.  Have a pair of glove with at least 
leather finger tips  on them if you plan to cook anything in foil. this way 
you can use your hands to turn what ever in the foil. 

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Using Gas Grill!

[Brice Mijares]

No problem, I have a gas grill, a Weber, and a smoker.   I use them all with 
no problems.  You can even buy wire baskets with handles to flip your meats. 
For thicker meats you may want to have a talking thermostat on hand. 
Personally I use my gas grill for steak, hamburgers, and hot links.  Gas 
grills tend to burn to damn hot to cook your thicker meats, this is where a 
Weber  is handy .  Next weekend I plan to slow cook a nice size brisket. 
I'll start it off in my Weber to get the wood smoke into the meat for a few 
hours, then I'll finish of in my gas smoker for another 7 hours or so.  Good 
luck. 

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Using Gas Grill!

[Bill Benson]

Dear Claudia,

It's very doable.  We have had one for forty years, and the biggest problem has 
been with them wearing out eventually.  If you can afford a Weber or other 
comparably priced higher of the line one, I think it would be a great 
investment, twelve months a year.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] Using Gas Grill!

[Cy Selfridge]

Good morning Claudia,

I use a propane grill and have had no problems. Dppending on how large a
grill you really want I might suggewst one of the small electric models.

We had an electric kettle style grill which was a dream to use. It would
hole 5 good size burgers, had a thermostat and could be used indoors if you
placed it by the kitchen window or on the stove top with the exhaust fan
running. Turning things on it was really nice as you just turned down the
thermostat until after the meat was turned thus eliminating 99.99% of the
flare up.

If you do want to go for a propane grill then I would also recommend doing a
little research as to which grill cooks most evenly.

We have one from Vermont Casting and it cooks really nice. It doews not
appear to get quite as hot as my daughter's larger grill but it does an
excellent job and everything tends to get done about the same time. My
daughter's grill has definite hot spots and this makes it a challenge to get
all things done evenly.

Once I had a Char Broiler and this one had two shelves which could be used
when turning things and preventing flare up.

HTH,

Cy, The Anasazi

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Using Gas Grill!

[Mike Rusk]

I have used a gas grill for over 30 years, no problem.  Two things to help, 
make sure your lid is open when you light the thing, and know where your meat 
is when it comes time to turn it or take it off the grill.  It also helps to 
have a water source near by in case of flare ups.  I try to not use meats 
without a lot of fat or grease, that's helps with controling the flare ups.
Enjoy it, but expect a few tricky moments from time to time.

[Alan & Terrie Robbins]

Claudia,

If you get one delivered all assembled, or have some sighted assistance
assembling, then you should have no problem. Basically you turn a valve on
the tank to allow gas to flow to the tank then simply turn on a burner unit
and press the self igniter. After that works very similar to a gas stove.
Can't speak for others but I don't find a big issue in using one.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] water pressure low in shower?

[Lee A. Stone]

Not to drag this out forever but our problem is not so much  the 
shower head   but the smaller hand held shower head which is attached 
to a diverter and  that little diverter is a pain in the but. it has  
as some of you know two buttonsand  the lower button which controls 
the  water to divert to the  hand held massager  sticks  sometimes in 
one position. then  it gets taken off  or unscrewed and as most of you 
had said loet soak for awhile in vineagar and a couple of times working 
the buttons. a couple of hours later rinse  in warm water.  . now this 
is a metal one. I have found out that lowes for $9.99 has the same thing 
only in like a P V C material so I am going to get that one to see how 
long it holds up in the hard water. Lee
