Hey Tom, Where do you live in Kentucky? I live about 75 miles southeast of Lexington. Are you going to the ACB Convention in Louisville? I will be there the 7th through 9th of July. I am scheduled to open the Wednesday morning (July 9th) Session in prayer. I hope to see you there.

For instance, I live in Northern Kentucky, and the canes were provided to me by the Kentucky Office for the Blind, the Cincinnati Association for the Blind, and even the VA. Contact them as they usually provide them for free. Also, maybe someone on the list knows of a national organization that will provide them for free.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] mettle verses shingle roof
Like I said in my previous post, when we re-roofed our house, we put little 1 by 2 strips across the top of the shingled roof and the screwed the metal roof right over top of it. This gives you just enough sound from the rain to really be able to enjoy it. It's not too loud this way.

[BlindHandyMan] Final Words Over Dan's Shop Vac
Dan, The post about the final moments of your beloved shopvac touched me deeply. As a minister, I would be honored to give the departed piece of equipment a proper send off. It served it's purpose well in life and was faithful unto the end. Although it must be replaced, it's memories will always remain in our heart. Now, in this life, it has done all it can do. It has fought a good fight, it has finished it's course and it certainly kept the faith. As the morning sun has risen and now as set for the final time, may Dan's little shopvac rest in eternal peace. Amen!

In my last email, I made mention of my poor, undersized, thoroughly abused Shopvac. It was a rather small unit and I asked much of it. I vacuumed up tons of plaster dust and debris, cement debris, tons of wood chips and saw dust. It was starting to have issues over the last few months. It would occasionally squeal here and there, and rather than spinning down nicely when turned off, it would make some rather wretched sound and stop pretty quickly after power was turned off. During the cleaning out of the down spout, I knew my little Shopvac was on it's last legs. The bearings must have been going. It screeched and pleaded with me to stop, but I needed to get the down spout cleaned out before the next major rain. The little Shopvac even puffed out a cloud or two of smoke. After finishing the down spout project, I retired the Shopvac to the basement for a much needed rest. While cleaning up the basement over the weekend, Teresa said that she was going to use the Shopvac to vacuum up all the dust. I told her the Shopvac was dead and she should leave it in piece. She insisted it still had some life in it. She started vacuuming happily along. I could hear the tortured shrieks of the bearings and smell the smoke, but Teresa was going to get the last out of that Shopvac. I kept waiting for the dust in the bucket to catch fire, but it never did. Finally, the shrieking stopped. Teresa was vacuuming along one moment, then there was a final, rather short squeak, and then nothing. The bearings had seized solid. I laid the vac to rest at the curb last night. It gave it's all. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University.

[BlindHandyMan] Robots Are Coming!!
Robots are coming!! Major Retailer Tests Robots for Blind Shoppers By Evan Schuman 2005-05-15 Some visually impaired shoppers in Utah can already walk in to one of the retail giant's stores and shop with an RFID reading, voice synthesized R2D2 wannabe. One large national retailer has started quietly testing a university created robot designed to help visually impaired consumers navigate store aisles and find their desired products. The robot named RG, for Robotic Guide is the creation of Vladimir Kulyukin, an assistant professor of computer science at Utah State University and the director of the university's Computer Science Assistive Technology Laboratory. The initial version of RG which weighs about 22 pounds and is roughly the height of an upright vacuum cleaner is limited to three basic functions. First, it guides the consumer through the aisles and around people, displays and merchandise using RFID readers and 16 ultra sonic sonars. The navigation system is sophisticated enough to handle environments including elevators and limited open spaces-that usually literally trip up robots, Kulyukin said. The university has posted quite a few videos of RG in various stages of testing. Its second function is to communicate with the consumer. It takes instructions via a small Braille directory of products that is attached to the robot's handle, and it replies to the shopper's questions with spoken answers. The third function is to use its RFID reader to locate the desired products. The store's RFID tags help the robot navigate the lanes as well as locate products. "There are RFID sensors placed on the shelves in the store. The robot has the RFID antennae and detects the presence of those tags," Kulyukin said. That is how it knows it has reached the Colgate section of the toothpaste shelf and it then announces, You have reached the Colgate toothpaste section, on your right. The robot has its limitations, though. Until item level tagging becomes the norm, the system can indicate only the part of the shelf where the product is supposed to be. If it has been moved either by an employee moving stock who forgot to move the update the RFID tag or by another consumer who put a tube of Aim toothpaste amidst the Colgate-the visually impaired consumer might grab the wrong product. "It certainly can be jumbled, and there is the potential to pick up the wrong product, Kulyukin said, adding that his team is trying to add a robotic bar code in to the system so that the robot would announce the product being placed in the cart. That functionality would likely address most of the mistaken product purchases, he said. The robot's development is still at a very early stage and has thus far mostly been paid for with a five hundred thousand dollar grant from the National Science Foundation, Kulyukin said. He is negotiating with a large national retail chain to buy the units and invest in its further development. Kulyukin refused to identify the chain, but an employee in the university's public relations department, Whitney Wilkinson, said the chain was indeed Wal Mart. Kulyukin also said Wal Mart was testing it locally. Shortly after this story appeared, Wal Mart attorneys and a representative a Wal Mart's public relations department called Wilkinson and others at Utah State. Wilkinson then stepped back from her comment, explaining that she meant that the local outlet of Wal Mart had been testing the robot and that she had no knowledge of anything beyond that. Kulyukin said that the local Wal Mart store was using the robot for its customers and that any references to negotiating with Wal Mart were about the terms of the usage. Kulyukin also said that there is a large national retail chain exploring a financial investment in his department's robot, but he continued to decline to identify the chain. The store manager of the Wal Mart store in North Logan, Utah, right near the university's labs, confirmed that RG had arrived. It is a great thing for the customers who do not have their eyesight, said Wal Mart store manager Ron Tuttle. We have a lot of customers who come in and ask for someone to help them. I talked with one lady and she was very excited about it because it makes her feel more independent." Keeping the cost low. The cost of the robots will vary depending on how many of them Kulyukin's team is asked to create, but he purposely kept the cost low. To create a second robot would cost him about ten thousand dollars, he said, adding that the per-unit cost would drop to about $4,000 to $5,000 if thousands were ordered and to about $1,500 if millions were ordered. He said he will need about three million to five million in seed money to move to the next stage of development and production. The technical hardware of the system is simple: Most of the components sit in a PVC pipe structure. The robot's microcontroller is attached to a lap

I ordered my cane from their website as soon as I read the offer. I merely entered my name and address, there were no requirements to fulfill. It arrived in nine days via USPS Free Matter for the Blind. This is a white Fiberglass, one piece 53 inch cane with a metal "chair" tip. It has a clear soft plastic handgrip & a black nylon strap on top. NFB's logo, name, address, phone number, website, and email address are visible through the clear plastic grip. It appears similar to the NFB Type 2 Straight Fiberglass cane. WEIGHT -This 53 inch free cane weighs about 135 grams. -My similar NFB Type 7 telescopic Carbon Fiber 53 inch cane weighs about 115 grams. -My everyday 53 inch Carbon Fiber folding cane with "marshmallow" roller tip weighs about 275 grams. MY IMPRESSIONS This is a very nice cane, and I recommend it to anyone. Its lightweight, comfortable, and very useable. It does not fold or collaspe and therefore has no joints that might wiggle. This would make an excellent first cane for anyone who is struggling to adopt cane use, as well as a great cane for any user. Fifty-three inches is the shortest length available, which is my preferred length. As always, NFB appears to be advocating a LONG white cane. If you're under six feet tall, 53 inches might seem a little long, but I believe this length is very useable for any adult. It is available in 53, 55, 57, 59, 61, and 63 inches. CONS -I have broken a fiberglass cane in the past, but it wasn't easy and I was careless. -Carbon fiber is stronger and lighter, but not free! -This cane does not fold or collaspe. -The metal 'chair' tip on this cane works great for me on all indoor surfaces such as carpet, tile, vinyl, wood, ect. I have found that, for me, this tip can be a bit difficult on outdoor surfaces such as typical concrete, asphalt, brick, and off-road. For outdoor use I find a roller tip is easier and more useable, but everyone has their own preference and that's why there are many tips and cane types to choose from. CONCLUSION I listed the cons to be accurate, but I feel this is an excellent cane. I see myself getting years of service from it, and I recommend it to anyone who might find themselves in need of a cane. As a person with progressive blindness, I know the struggle of adopting a cane for the first time. This free cane may make that easier and embracing a cane can improve your life so much.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] Thanks to the creator.
Hey Dan, That was an awesome piece of literature there. I agree wholeheartedly. Thanks for everything that you said!!! ~~~ My name is Donnie Parrett, and I approve of this message -Original Message- From: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Dan Rossi Sent: Monday, October 27, 2008 2:19 PM To: BlindHandyman@yahoogroups.com; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Thanks to the creator. Yes, this message is off topic for the Blind Handyman list, and I expect will spawn a bunch of other off topic posts of agreement. But it is important, needs to be said, and needs to be read by one and all. So, moderators, hike your skirts up, and sit on your hands for the next day or two. *GRIN* I was one of the attendies at this years biannual Blind Like Me / Blind Handyman get-together in Houston. There may not be another as Phil is retiring from hosting this gathering. Also, although I couldn't be there, this was the recording of the last BHM and BLM shows. We all like to think we make a difference in life. Most of us do. We make the difference to our spouses, children, family in general. We all have an impact on a circle of friends and coworkers. It is rare though, that someone makes a difference in many many lives outside of there normal circles. Phil Parr, and his buddies Don Shaw, Don Patterson, and Tom Houston, have made a difference in the lives of hundreds, if not thousands of blind people, quite literally around the world. There idea of producing a show about blind folks doing handyman tasks, and then another show about the achievements of blind people, great and small, made a difference. Most of us who post on these lists regularly are doers. We set our minds to tasks and we do them with little thought. It is easy to forget that there are many blind people out there who have, hopefully had, no idea that it was even in the realm of possibility that a blind person could change a light switch, or wire a house, bang together a couple of boards for a makeshift shelf, or build a deck, fix a leaky faucet, or plumb a new bathroom, check the pressure in a car's tires, or rebuild a race engine. Phil's concept, ability, determination, and personality has spread that word far and wide. I know that reading this list gave me the courage, and the means, to take on projects like the deck and other projects I have done around my house. Being able to ask here, how another blind person did something, or just getting some encouraging words has been a great help. Being able to chat with others with similar experiences is comforting and gives an interesting view on the world. Phil, I want to thank you and your gang for everything you have done over the last six years. You should be very proud of what you have created. You made a difference. Thanks very much. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University.

Good job, Lenny! Contact Me At: Donnie Parrett 1956 Asa Flat Road Annville, Kentucky 40402 Home Phone: 606-364-3321 Church Phone: 606-364-PRAY Skype Name: Donnie1261 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Lenny McHugh Sent: Tuesday, November 18, 2008 7:29 PM To: handyman-blind Subject: [BlindHandyMan] recall information feedback request Well I originally stated that I would accept comments until this coming Friday, Nov 21. I don't think it is necessary to wait until then. The feedback response has been disappointingly low. Out of over 260 members there was only a hand full of replies. So over 250 members don't care what method we take the decision will be based on the very few returns. Here are a few comments received:*** I find them to be of no interest to me. There hasn't been one for something that I own and most of them are for the types of products that I don't own, such as gas grills. *** I guess I'd tend towards only BHM related recalls, but it'd also depend on how much of an increase in traffic would be created by doing all of them. I'm not fanatical about this choice. *** please keep the recalls only to BHM matters as has been done in the past. Otherwise how far will you have to go with them. *** Personally, I like getting the toy information even though I don't have children at home anymore. I do have lots of friends with kids, and, if I have given a child something that has been recalled, I'd like to be able to warn them.

Coffee Filters CHECK this one out, I DID NOT KNOW THIS STUFF.but I do NOW!! Coffee Filters are not just for making Coffee 1. Cover bowls or dishes when cooking in the microwave. Coffee filters make excellent covers. 2. Clean windows and mirrors. Coffee filters are lint-free so they'll leave windows sparkling. 3. Protect China . Separate your good dishes by putting a coffee filter between each dish. 4. Filter broken cork from wine. If you break the cork when opening a wine bottle, filter the wine through a coffee filter. 5. Protect a cast-iron skillet. Place a coffee filter in the skillet to absorb moisture and prevent rust. 6. Apply shoe polish. Ball up a lint-free coffee filter. 7. Recycle frying oil. After frying, strain oil through a sieve lined with a coffee filter. 8. Weigh chopped foods. Place chopped ingredients in a coffee filter on a kitchen scale. 9. Hold tacos. Coffee filters make convenient wrappers for messy foods. 10. Stop the soil from leaking out of a plant pot. Line a plant pot with a coffee filter to prevent the soil from going through the drainage holes. 11. Prevent a Popsicle from dripping. Poke one or two holes as needed in a coffee filter. 12. Do you think we used expensive strips to wax eyebrows?? Use strips of coffee filters. 13. Put a few in a plate and put your fried bacon, french fries, chicken fingers, etc on them. Soaks out all the grease. 14. Keep in the bathroom.They make Great Razor Nick fixers. Yahoo! Groups Links

[BlindHandyMan] Refrigerator Problem
We have a refrigerator that has a two foot by three foot freezer on top. We have had it for about 22 years. The refrigerator and the freezer are not getting as cold as they used too. Also, it seems to be running non stop. Is there something that we can do to remedy the problem? Or, is it just time for us to go ahead and replace it? This is the first problem that we have had out of it in 22 years.

This happened to one we had a couple of refrigerators ago. There was an ice build up next to the coil in an area that didn't get any air circulation from the fan. Over time it kept building up and building up and eventually there was so much ice in there that the defrost heater couldn't get the coil hot enough to melt the ice that was on the coil its self. I found this out after taking it apart. The only cure was to shut it down for about a day to let all the ice melt. About a year later we had to do that again and Sue decided it was time to get a new fridge. Regards. Max. K 4 O D S.

If so one thought that I would have is to get a post hole digger. This might not be a task for the week at heart and you will not be able to dig 8 feet down but it will give you a start. Just in case you don't know, and even if you do know, there may be a few on the list that might not know what a post hole digger looks like It has 2 wooden handles and 2 curved scoops on the business end and it is hinged just above the scoops. It works the opposite of a plyers or a sizzers. You slam it down into the ground and pull the handles apart and pull it and the dirt up and repeat the prosses until the job is finished or your hands are blistered beyond recognition. Which ever comes first. Now another idea is some type of auger. If any one on the list knows if any one makes a hand crank auger that would be useful for this type of job. One last thing that I just thought of is a gaget that we had when I was young It is a post hole digger but this one you turn it with a t handle and pull it up and knock out the dirt. You can get extentions with this so you can go down as far as you need. I don't know if they still make them but the people to ask are people that do water table testing. We used to dig holes this way and when we hit water we would take a measurement of the depth of the hole to see how far down the water table was. This is probably more info than you need but there you have it. Havfe fun. Can you dig it? -Original Message- From: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Edward Przybylek Sent: Sunday, December 16, 2007 9:14 PM To: BlindHandyMan Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Generator Grounding Follow-UP Hi all, After all your replies, I decided to ground my new generator. Better safe then sorry. When the manual said that not grounding the generator could pose the threat of electricution, it made me decide it was the best course of action. I went to Home Depot to purchase the necessary supplies. I picked up a lenght of 10 gauge stranded copper wire and then went to search for the copper grounding rod. The thing you guys forgot to mention is that the freaking rod is 8 feet long. I asked the associate how much of the rod I should cut off the 8 foot length to pound into the ground. That's when he said "All 8 feet." My first response was "Are you for real!" My soil is 5% dirt and 95% rock. Getting 8 feet of anything that deep in my yard is going to be a task meant for the Gods and not a mere mortal like myself. The last time I pounded any kind of rod into my yard was a galvanized pipe to support a newly planted evergreen to help it make it through the winter. It went down approximately 3 feet and stopped dead. I mushroomed the top of the pipe with a four pound mallet but the pipe went no further. Now you expect me to pound an 8 foot copper rod into the ground! Yeah, right. What I'm anticipating is a very bent rod and a flurry of filthy words that till make the ladies in the neighbor hood blush wildly and hurry their children indoors. From now on, gentlemen, make sure you mention the finer points of a task before making recommendations. Let you know how it goes.

Here Ya Go Claudia/ [BlindHandyMan] What you Didn't Know you Needed to Know About Candles
Despite the fact that candles are one of the most popular decorating items in our homes, most of us know very little about them. We all rest comfortably in our candle ignorance, enjoying the colors, ambiance and scents candles bring to our homes. However, despite their seeming simplicity, there's a lot more to candles than meets the eye, or olfactory system. For example, did you know that candles have a lot in common with wine and fine dining and that there are ways to prevent soot, promote a candle's burning efficiency and increase the number of hours a candle will burn? I didn't before I sat down with Rick Ruffolo, Senior Vice President of Brand, Marketing and Innovation at Yankee Candle. And when I got up, my head was so full of candle knowledge it hurt, or maybe that was from smelling too many candles. Either way, here's the candle knowledge he imparted to me. Smell the Lid: Have you ever had the problem where you go to pick out a candle, grab one off the shelf, plunge your nose an inch from the wax and can hardly smell a thing? You try and try, but you can't seem to get a good sense for how a candle really smells, only a headache from inhaling too much. Well, you and I are not alone; it seems to be a common problem among candle customers. And Rick had an easy remedy for the scent impairment. Smell inside the lid. "When you smell the lid, there's a big, big difference," he explained "What's happened is that the fragrance, when it's all condensed in [a container] and trapped, its what's called creating headspace, and the fragrance actually accumulates in the top of the lid, and when you smell it you actually get the full body of the fragrance." The full body of the fragrance includes the top, middle and bottom not, according to Rick. "When a customer will smell a candle [by smelling the wax], all they're getting is what is called the top note," Rick said. "And when you smell it [inside the lid] you get the full body, which is the top, the middle and the base note." Light a Candle, Don't Warm it: Candle warmers may seem like a great alternative to having to light a candle. There's no danger of a fire, no sooty ceilings and the scent from a candle seems even more potent. But they're not always the best option. "The whole idea is that the melted wax pool services as the way to get the scent into the air, and the flame uses the wax as fuel," Rick explained. "So the wax burns away, and that's why over time the candle wick goes down, and the whole candle goes away. Whereas in a candle warmer, it might be good that first time or that second time, but over time it's not going to work because it's driving all the fragrance out of the candle and all you're left with is the unscented wax." So, basically because a candle warmer liquefies all the wax at once, it's letting all the scent out at in one large dose. Whereas burning a candle will slowly release fragrance till the last drop of wax is burned. Plan 15 to 30 Minutes Before Fragrance: If you're a last-minute romantic, be forewarned. From the time you light a candle, it usually takes 15 to 30 minutes before a good-sized wax pool builds and the scent is being released in large quantities. So, if you want your room enveloped in fragrance, plan ahead. "Depending on the type of candle you have, the wax pool can happen quicker or slower depending on again the type of wax, the type of wick and the type of candle you're using," Rick coached. "But in general if you wait about fifteen minutes a half hour, you'll get a nice wax pool on most candles, and at that point your whole room will be enveloped in fragrance." Stopping the Soot: Stopping soot really comes down to science. Because as Rick explained to me, soot is the result of a candle burning inefficiently. "Really, it's just saying that the flame isn't working optimally, and there are a number of things you can do as a customer," Rick said. "And this is true of any candle." Don't worry the "things you can do" are really easy, and you don't have to understand any science to actually do them. First, keep your candles away from drafts. The drafts cause candles to flicker, and that flickering results in soot. Second, keep your wicks trimmed to 1/4 inches. As Rick explained to me, the longer the wick, the more susceptible it is to flickering, and, again, flickering leads to soot. Third, you can use a candle topper, which is a small dome of metal that sits over a candle's opening. The topper helps protect candles from drafts, which, you guessed it, stop flickering. You're probably seeing a theme here. The final clean burning tip from Rick was to only buy high-quality candles, and no, this time it doesn't have to do with flickering. "The candle science part of this there is a way that you can integrate the fragrance and the dies and the different types of waxes that companies put together, and the size of the wick and all that," Rick said. "Actually, there are al

Lenny, Please visit my home page http://www.geocities.com/lenny_mchugh/ It's motivating, humorous and has a lot of resources. - Original Message - From: "Ray Boyce" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Thursday, March 27, 2008 4:37 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] DIY Gluing Tips Sealed glue containers will usually last about a year, but glue in open containers has a shorter shelf life. The shelf life depends on the exposure to air and moisture as well as heat and cold. If you only do occasional glue jobs, purchase small containers. Glues also have an "open," "clamp" or "working" time. Mixed or two-part glues also have a pot life, or how long they stay usable after mixing. For longer life, keep glue containers closed and store at room temperatures. On glue bottles with applicator tips, always clean off and close the tip. http://www.extremehowto.com/xh/hotprod_images/1aGluingTT1.jpg Place newspaper on a smooth, flat surface and position clamps as neede. Dry-fit all pieces to make sure they join smoothly and fit properly. http://www.extremehowto.com/xh/hotprod_images/1aGluingTT2.jpg Clamp pads, such as these jet pads on jet clamps, prevent denting or marring wood surfaces, especially important when gluing softwoods. Most glues work best at 50 degrees or above, or at room temperature. Check the product label for proper temperature use. Have everything ready for gluing before you start the glue-up or clamping procedure. You'll need a clean, flat, smooth surface. A good tip is to first cover the surface with old newspapers to catch drips. Gather the clamps you need, making sure you have plenty. One of the most important tips is dry fitting parts. This is especially important if gluing intricate joints such as mortise and tenon or frame and panel. Joints should slide together smoothly, but not too tightly or there won't be enough room for the glue. If you are using dowels or biscuits, make sure you have enough of the right size on hand before you start. You'll also need cloths for clean-up and protective gloves for some materials. In most instances you will also need clamp blocks or pads to protect wood surfaces, especially soft woods, from denting under clamp pressure. http://www.extremehowto.com/xh/hotprod_images/1aGluingTT3.jpg When gluing wood pieces together, make sure all surfaces are smooth and clean. For instance, when edge-gluing narrow strips to make up a wider strip, the edges should be run over a jointer or sanded smooth. Glue can be applied with a glue-bottle applicator tip, but it's important to evenly coat the wood surface. Thin strips of wood can be used as "paddles" to smooth out beads of glue to more thoroughly coat the surface of narrow joint pieces, inside mortises or dadoes and for edge-jointing. If coating larger surfaces, such as when gluing down veneers, or making laminated parts, a roller is the best choice for a smooth and thorough application. http://www.extremehowto.com/xh/hotprod_images/1aGluingTT4.jpg With all pieces glue-coated, tighten the clamps. Alternate the clamps, tighten one somewhat, then tighten the second or other clamps about the same until you have all clamped equally. Different glues have different gap-filling capacities, but regardless, the mating surfaces should be sanded smooth and cleaned of any oil, dirt or sanding dust. They should also mate properly. In edge-gluing make sure all edges are jointed or edge-sanded and that they fit smoothly together without gaps. http://www.extremehowto.com/xh/hotprod_images/1aGluingTT5.jpg A small bead of glue should be squeezed out of the joints. When gluing with wood-worker's glue, this can be wiped away with a cloth dampened with water. http://www.extremehowto.com/xh/hotprod_images/1aGluingTT6.jpg Rather than using a cloth, a better method for removing glue on softwoods is to wait for 30 minutes and then cut away excess glue with a sharp chisel. Different glues also require somewhat different techniques. PVA or "white" glue and aliphatic resin glues, often called "carpenter's," "wood" or "yellow" glues a

Snap together, or laminate flooring has a lot of advantages, but I hate them. Personally, the one's I have walked on sound like you are walking on hollow plastic. I'm sure others have had different experiences, that is just my experience. Whenever I have walked on one of these floors, I just picture a plastic looking simulated wood grain in my head. I know that they look better than that, but that is the image I get because of the sound they make. I think the engineered floors are second to actual hardwood. Since they are partly real hardwood on top of a plywood substrate, they feel and sound more like hardwood than does a laminate. If this is any indication, a sighted neighbor of mine recently ripped out their laminate and put in hardwood because after three years, they said the laminate looked like crap. They said that you get what you pay for. They put in cheap laminate because they thought it looked as good as real wood, but because it was cheap laminate it just didn't hold up. They considered a more expensive laminate but decided that real hardwood was not that much more expensive than a high end laminate. I'm not knocking anyone's choice to use it, just thought I would give folks the other side of the coin if they are thinking about installing a laminate floor. -- Blue skies.

It's so stupid that everyone I know buys from the states. Places like Independent Living Aids, Maxiaids, and our very own Blind Mice Mart.

[BlindHandyMan] Handy Tip Of The Day (I Had Never Heard Of This)
NEWS TO ME...NEVER BEEN OBSERVANT...HA HA I've been using aluminum foil for more years than I care to remember. Great stuff, but sometimes it can be a pain. You know, like when you are in the middle of doing something and you try to pull some foil out and the roll comes out of the box. Then you have to put the roll back in the box and start over. The darn roll always comes out at the wrong time. Well, I would like to share this with you. Yesterday I went to throw out an empty Reynolds foil box and for some reason I turned it and looked at the end of the box. And written on the end it said, "Press here to lock end". Right there on the end of the box is a tab to lock the roll in place. How long has this little locking tab been there? I then looked at a generic brand of aluminum foil and it had one, too. I then looked at a box of Saran wrap and it had one too! I can't count the number of times the Saran warp roll has jumped out when I was trying to cover something up. I'm sharing this with my friends that did not know this. I hope I'm not the only person that didn't know about this.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] How To & Help - Hanging Drywall
Lee was talking about how good it was for people to help each other, and that reminded me about the time we were building the home that we live in today. In 1985 my Dad started building the house that me and my wife currently live in. He started it in the spring of 85 and the whole community came together to help build the house. Sometimes there were as many as 15 or 20 working on any given day. We were able to move into the house in November of 85 and our first son was born in January of 86. Our second son was born in June of 87. Boy, there sure are a lot of memories in this home. We still live here today and have no plans of going anywhere until the Lord calls us home to Heaven.

He had a new friend who was building a house from the ground up. what I learned is they make sheetrock / wall board in very long sheets and what they did is leave one end of the house open and as they brought two sheets of , I am not sure of the size but I am thinking this was double the length . so say 16 footers. then someone else had these tee bars made up of two by fours and two guys had those electric drills . you know the old fashioned kind where you needed extension cords? well they had those dimplers. I've never seen or heard sheetrock go up so fast. then shortly after that there was a couple more guys in there with five gallon buckets of mud . what I like about this list is still hearing folks sharing work in someones friend down the road like many of you have spoken about. one person helping another . makes for lighter work and less contractors ripping folks off. just my two and a half cents.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] Back up on the roof.
Hey Robert, I wish I could have been there to help. I am not afraid of heights at all. In fact, the higher, the better. Before we installed a metal roof on our home, I used to get on the roof every year and put up our Christmas lights. Sometimes, I would get up there and put them up by myself while my wife was gone to work. Boy, I've gotten a many of a chewing out by her too, for doing that. I love Heights though. I also love roller coasters, especially the ones that turn you upside down and right side up, sideways and cross ways and every which way in the world.

I come from a profession where I was forced to either modify existing tools or in some cases scratch build something that would allow me to work competitively. The thought crossed my mind, why couldn't we create a tool-crib list where these ideas, modifications and creations could be show cased apart from all of the non-tool related posts. We would have an opportunity to discuss what does and doesn't work, how we could make it better, how we could build it and repair techniques on the crap that the retail market would like to sell us. The forum would be limited to creating, modifying and tools that are off the shelf accessible. For example, I know that if we all put our virtual heads together we could come up with an accurate, effective tape measure that doesn't cost a hundred bucks and that we need to send back across the big puddle to have it serviced. Or what about a bullet proof dead on saw guide that doesn't take all afternoon to set up every time you want to rip a sheet of plywood. Or a pipe cutting guide attached to a saws-all that will insure a strait even cut the next time you need to cut large diameter pipe.

Hi All
Backyard Gardening
Backyard gardening offers so many benefits it's hard to name them, but first
is probably exercise. Gardening can provide exercise from the "easy-does-it"
to a full workout, depending on how hard you want to work. The elderly can
benefit from time spent gardening. Another benefit is simply an excuse to be
out in the fresh air. Experts are quick to say both exercise and time spent
outdoors can reduce stress, a common problem today.
There's also the satisfaction of planting seeds and watching them grow.
There's something very satisfying about digging in the dirt and getting your
hands
dirty. Many youngsters enjoy gardening. Let them plant their own seeds and
take care of them, and it should be something fun like melons or pumpkins.
Gardening
is a great teaching tool about nature's cycle, as well as providing family
time together. Don't expect kids to do all the weeding in the family garden,
as was the norm years ago when families depended on their gardens for food.
Last, but not least, gardening can provide food; a handful of tomatoes from
a patio pot for a summertime treat, or food for the entire family. And, you
can determine how your food plants are grown, for instance grown
organically, without using chemicals. A backyard garden of flowers,
vegetables, fruits
and berries can add to the value of your home as well as the enjoyment of
your backyard. Another benefit is the wildlife it will bring. Even a
hard-worked,
weeded, picked and cared-for garden will be visited by numerous birds and
wildlife.
It's important to have a plan for your backyard garden. Shown is the
author's plan for 2006.
Garden Planning
Regardless of whether you wish to have a fully landscaped backyard with
formal flower gardens, or a simple vegetable patch, the most important step
is to
form a plan. Make a rough scale drawing of your backyard and sketch out what
you want. Do you want flower beds, shrubbery, fruit and nut trees, berries,
a vegetable garden? How close is the water source? How big do you want your
vegetable garden? Some of the answers may be in the topography and
geographical
location of your backyard. Plants have different requirements not only for
sunlight, but also moisture and soil types. You can amend most soils, and
you
can provide irrigation or water, although the latter may be restricted in
some locales. You can't, however, ignore the light needs of plants. Shady
plants
won't grow in the sun, nor sun-loving plants in the shade. For instance most
vegetables require a full day of sun. Partial shading during a portion of
the day can be tolerated, but full sun is best.
The soil must be properly fertilized and limed. Fertilizer is available in
several different forms, including granular, water-soluble and organic.
Fertilizing
Is your soil sandy, clay-based or extremely rocky? Most plants do best in a
loose, loamy or friable soil. But don't let this problem stop you. Our
garden
in located on a sloping, rocky Ozark hilltop with very little soil, and we
often get kidded about growing more rocks than vegetables. We do, however,
grow
lots of food from our garden because we've spent a lot of time building up
the soil with compost. A retaining wall on one side prevents the soil from
washing
down the hillside. The best soil amendment is horse manure added well before
planting time. Adding organic matter in the form of peat moss, compost or
decayed leaves will greatly help almost any soil.
ehtw/spcAll
All plants require some sort of fertilization. It's a good idea to take a
soil test to determine what fertilizer requirements are needed. Merely dig a
sample
of soil and take it to your local County Extension Service office. There is
a fee for the test. The test information can provide a general guide for
fertilizing,
but it's also important to match the fertilizer requirements to the plant.
For instance a heavy feeding of nitrogen to potatoes makes them grow bushy
leaves,
but no potatoes. Most plants, however, do not require a lot of fertilizer.
Bagged fertilizer comes with three elementsÅ itrogen, phosphorus and
potassiumÅand
is sold with different strengths of each nutrient. A balanced fertilizer
such as 8-8-8 or 10-10-10 is a good vegetable garden fertilizer, or you may
prefer
one with less nitrogen, such as 5-10-5 as a general purpose fertilizer.

If the grills have a regulating valve, but the heat remains too intense, I would contact the manufacturer or the dealer where it was purchased, to discus a repair. Our Sears grill, which is ten or fifteen years old, has a whole in the bottom where grease or other juices drip out, and there is a wire holder which holds a jar or can which catch the material during cooking. It is easy to empty this container between cook-outs. I agree that charcoal still has the best flavor and the next grill I buy will have that as an option, if not the only method of cooking.

This can make it totally impractical to do in some instances, especially in a home. Wouldn't a better rule of thumb in your circumstance be to put in any ramp at all that could be negotiated by a wheelchair regardless of guidelines. It just seems to me that it would be more important to have some sort of ramp that is practical and manageable, rather than no ramp at all or one that you can't live with.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] tough flooring
Hey Victor, Is one grain of salt all we are allowed to have? Suppose we like pepper instead? How many grains of pepper could we take for this bit of advice? Grin!

Maybe in the form of a floor mat...In other words, I don't think you can get away from having carpet, albeit in a smaller area than you had it before, but some form nonetheless. Another thing you might want to consider is the safety of your pet. A lot of times, especially, if you let the dog out to go relieve itself through that door, the dog will tend to pull you down the corridor, Even when it feels that it really, really has to go, so not only will you risk scratching up the floor, but you'll risk the dog, and possibly you, slipping on that flooring. In the last couple of months, Boop wrote in that she installed cork flooring. I think this might be the way to go for you. Not only would it blend in with the rest of the flooring in the other rooms, depending on if various colours are available in the cork flooring, but the surface would be soft enough that you could get some traction, whether wet or dry, including the dog's paws, as well. In terms of the transition, If you get a good enough threshold, that is, something between the hallway flooring and the room transitions you are going to transition, I don't think you should have a problem. Please keep in mind that I have never seen cork flooring and am basing my opinion on what a cork board looks like, , so I don't know exactly what the floor would look like visually, I'm approaching this from a safety stand point, so take my advice with a grain of salt.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] figuring out how steep a slope of a hill is.
It would probably be pretty difficult to get a board the whole length of the hill, so I would suggest using a string. Of course, you would want to keep the string as close to level as possible.

Use a board and hold it straight and level from the top of the hill, then at the end of the board measure straight down to the ground. for every 12 inches in length, a 27 percent grade will drop 3.24 inches. for every 12 inches in length, the drop will be 1.8 inches for a 15 percent grade.

[BlindHandyMan] Storing Batteries
I use quite a few 9 volt batteries at the church where I pastor. Two cordless mics, my guitar and tuner seems to eat them up sometimes. A lady gave me a case of 24 of them. Is there a proper way to store them for longer life, or do they have a pretty long shelf life? Thanks for any advice I can get on this subject.

[BlindHandyMan] Handy Tip/How To Keep Flies Away
I received this email today and I have heard people talk about this before. Apparently, it really works. It's worth a try. We went with some out of town friends to Sweety Pies on Sunday for breakfast, and we sat in the enclosed patio section beside the house. We happened to notice a couple of zip lock baggies pinned to a post and a wall. The bags were half filled with water, each contained 4 pennies, and they were zipped shut. Naturally we were curious! Ms Sweety told us that these baggies kept the flies away! So naturally we were even more curious! We actually watched some flies come in the open window, stand around on the window sill, and then fly out again. And there were no flies in the eating area! This morning I checked this out on Google. Below are comments on this fly control idea. I'm now a believer! More comments not included here were about pet dogs and fly problems. Zip-lock water bags Sue says: Many people swear that a zip-lock bag filled half-way with water and attached over entry-ways will repel flies. No one yet knows how or why it works, but there is speculation that it has something to do with the way the moving water refracts light. If you have tried this please use the comments form at the bottom of the page to share your results with the rest of us. ann Says: October 5th, 2008 at 5:51 pm I did tried the ziplock bag and pennies this weekend. I have a horse trailer with full LQ. The flys were very bad this weekend while I was camping. I put the baggie with pennies above the door of the LQ. NOT ONE FLY came in the trailer. The horse trailer part had many. Not sure why it works but it does!!! Danielle Martin Says: September 20th, 2008 at 8:43 pm Fill a ziplock bag with water and 5 or 6 pennies and hang it in the problem area. In my case it was a particular window in my home. It had a slight but significant passage way for insects.Every since I have done that, it has kept flies and wasps away. Some say, that wasps and flies mistake the bag for some sort of other insect nest and are threatened by this. maggie Says: June 7th, 2009 at 11:40 am I swear by the plastic bag of water trick I have them on side porch ( our house entry) and all around the basement door. We saw these in Northeast Mo at an Amish grocery store & have used them since. They say it works because a fly sees a reflection & won't come around. Just DJ Says: May 16th, 2009 at 7:25 pm Regarding the science behind zip log bags of water? My research found that each of the millions of molecules of water presents its own prism effect and given that flies have a lot of eyes, to them it's like a zillion disco balls reflecting light, colors and movement in a dizzying manner. When you figure that flies are basically prey for many other bugs, animals, birds, etc., they simply won't take the risk of being around that much perceived action. I moved to a rural area ant thought these "hillbillies" were just yanking my city boy chain but I tried it, worked immediately! We went from hundreds of flies to seeing the occasional one, but he didn't hang around long. ~ Please join us on Skype Monday thru Friday at 8:00 EST for our Morning Skype Prayer Time.

[BlindHandyMan] Removing Mold
I do a little ventriloquism in my spare time and the leather case that I keep my little partner in is starting to get some pretty bad moldy looking stains on it.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] Removing Mold
I ordered my little buddy along with a kit that has lessons to teach you how to do it. But, what helped me more than anything was knowing a guy that has done this for over 60 years. I have learned more from him than anything else. I'll see if I can find the lessons and send you the name of the company. ~ Please join us on Skype Monday thru Friday at 8:00 EST for our Morning Skype Prayer Time.

I've used vinegar to spot clean leather, but usually use a leather cleaner. There are lots of them out there. The reality is, that even though you get the mold off, if the bag is not stored out of moisture, it will come back. Saddle soap is an option, but again it only gets the mold off the surface.
