Re: [BlindHandyMan] Who turned off the heat!
We didn't just break the low temperature record this morning, we shattered it into smithereens. The record was 48 and the low was 43. I don't like the hot weather nor do I like the coldest of winter. That's why fall and spring are my two favorite times of the year. Regards. Max. K 4 O D S.

I know you can use sheetrock mud and patch them up but how exactly do you do it step by step? Do i just buy the mud if thats what its called, spread it throughout the wholes as evenly as posible, then wait for it to dry and take a piece of sandpaper and sand it down to be even with the rest of the wall?

The garage and house are about 3 feet apart, and run off from the garage currently drops between them. At the back, a downspout would have to cross the sidewalk leading to the back door, or go across the back of the garage where there is an entry door. From one of your figures, if we could get a one inch drop over the 34 feet, that should be enough to get us by.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] batteries
Putting batteries even of the same type in parallel is a bad idea and is never done by reputable manufacturers. Let's say the machine used 4 AA cells all in series. If you were to use 3 alkaline cells and one ni cad the device would work because of the reserve the designers built into it. When the ni cad went flat which it almost certainly would do first the device would likely keep working on the 3 alkaline cells. That is where the ni cad would be damaged and could even explode.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] batteries
Spiro asked. explain why never parallel of the same type? Thanks No two cells are exactly identical and if two are connected in parallel the stronger one will try to charge the weaker one. Since these cells are not designed to be charged this is not good even though some articles have reported some success in charging such cells. If a user were to put a new cell next to an old cell in a place where the cells are in parallel the weak cell would discharge the strong cell and it would run down prematurely. In the worst case one of them could explode. One of the laws of design is if it can be done someone is going to do it. So to keep from getting sued cells are never connected in parallel. Regards.

Hi Claudia, To the best of my knowledge, most will have these filters. You generally will find the filter in one of two places. The first place is inside the fridge, near the top. It may be a short cylinder, which hangs vertically near the rear of the cabinet. Some filters are long cylinders that are mounted horizontaly and generally mounted on either side of the cabinet. Another place you will find filters is at the bottom of the unit behind the kick plate. In most cases you should not have to remove the kick plate to access the filter. In this case the filter will be mounted parallel to the floor. Regardless of the configuration, these filters generally require just a twist to unlock them from the mounting. You will find that most of these filters will have a handle that you can grab to remove or install it and I have even seen one where you remove the filter, pull a cap off the bottom, which is actually a part of the fridge and matches the kick plate, and you put on the new filter, before installation. I hope this helps and there may be other configurations I am not aware of that others can share. On Jul 22, 2010, at 11:14 PM, Claudia wrote: hi, Our fridge has a water dispenser.

Officials scrambling to destroy the plant that can also cause burns and permanent scarring. Ciara Byrne Globe and Mail, Jul. 09, 2010 5:26PM EDT Toronto - The Canadian Press - A weed that can grow six metres tall, sprout massive leaves and produce toxic, blindness inducing sap is creeping into Ontario and parts of British Columbia. Giant hogweed is easily identified by its teetering height. The leaves on the weed fan out as much as 1.5 metres in diameter. It is also identified by its tell-tale purple splotching on the stem and its umbrella-like cluster of white flowers. The plant, which was spotted around the coast in British Columbia in late June, and is known to flourish in the Lower Mainland, Fraser Valley, Gulf Islands, and central to southern Vancouver Island, was discovered in the Renfrew County area in eastern Ontario on Thursday. Jeff Muzzi, a manager of forestry services for Renfrew County, said officials have destroyed the toxic vegetation, but he said the indomitable weed has become a problem for other places in the province, including southwestern Ontario. It's giant. It's not a misnomer, said Mr. Muzzi as he explained the wondrous plant that seems to sprout in waste land areas, like ditches and vacant lots. David Galbraith, head of science at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Hamilton said he was intrigued by the enormous plant - which is part of the carrot family - when he saw a huge patch growing behind a gas station north of the Goderich, Ont. years ago. I thought it was the most amazing thing I'd ever seen, a great, big, huge spectacular plant, said Mr. Galbraith as he explained its allure. While it may look bewildering - almost begging to be examined by an amateur botanist or a green thumb - the consequences of touching the weed could scar a person for life. The sap gets activated by sunlight, so once you get out on the sun it reacts and can cause really bad burns, blistering and scars, said Mr. Muzzi. It has also been known to cause temporary blindness or, in extreme cases, permanent loss of eyesight, said Mr. Muzzi. Within 24 to 48 hours after a person comes in contact with the sap, the symptoms will begin to appear, he added. The challenge is trying to uproot and remove the invasive weed, a careful task Mr. Muzzi tackled on Thursday. In the 35 degree heat I was snipping the flower heads off and I was wearing a Tyvex suit and eye protection, said Mr. Muzzi. It may seem extreme, but it's exactly what the Invasive Plants Council of British Columbia recommends an expert wear when they're removing the worrisome weed. The council recommends waterproof gloves, a rubber raincoat and pants and eye protection. Gail Wallin, the executive director of the council, said the weed has become dense and has recently spread on Vancouver Island. It's the one plant that in the last month I've received scads of calls, said Ms. Wallin. Its large roots make it difficult to dig up, and after it's removed some experts suggest mowing the patch it was nestled on for several years to eliminate seeds in the soil.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Dryer Problem
A dryer I once owned had two little spring catches one on each side that had to be pushed back or forward, I forget which way. If you didn't release them prying would just break something. Also there was a small plate about 5 x 5 inches on the back that was held on by two screws. When it was removed it gave access to the drum bearing. A C ring had to be removed and then the drum would slide forward and out, that is if the front had been removed first. But you couldn't get at the screws that held on the front until the top had been lifted. Regards. Max. K 4 O D S.

It is a slide in filter that lasts between 2 to 4 years with out a change. Itstarts at 10 microns and quickly gets to 1 micron, and filters finer as it gets older. The filter costs $40 per change, I do not know what the cost of having the unit installed on your duct, but it needs to be installed where the air enters the furnace at the intake, normally at the bottom of the unit. We also have a ozonator. It produces the good kind of ozone. The process of making ozone also makes negitive ions. The unit includes a positive ion generator. This causes the very fine particles in the air to become negitive or positive. Negitive and positive attract, causing the fine particles to clump together. When the particles become too big, they fall where they can be vaccuumed. The ozone kills dust mites and mold. it will nutralize many harmful chemicals in the home. Our unit cost about $400.

When I was on the road, there was another band either just leaving or coming in after we left. Their name was the Side Show. Their thing was they were a very good band but they also did circus tricks. The drummer would juggle drum sticks and start tossing them to the girl singer and the guitar player or at least one of them, did magic tricks. They were all very nice people and we would say something like if you liked our music our name is bla-bla-bla. If you didn't, it's the side show! Of course, they did the same thing. You get to know all the people in the area. When I needed a night off when I was doing singles, there were other organists I could have sit in for me and we helped each other out even as we cut their throat. It's just business not personal. They did it to you as well. If your the sensitive type, you have no business in entertainment. So some times, old habits die very hard. For me, it's the quick joke or smart remark.

The BS engines were forever being replaced, and were twice as loud as the Koehlers were. The Wisconsins we had had a spring magneto in them, and if memory serves, some of the mechanics cursed them mightily. The Koehlers though, were quiet, and the guys that worked for me really enjoyed working on them.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] outlet timers
The timers I remember have a mechanical dial that turns once around in 24 hours. There little flat pins that you slide into slots that make the switch turn on or off. Each time a pin passes the switch it changes states. If off it is turned on, if on it is turned off. Now there is a clock face printed on the dial but that is for the sighted. If you want to turn a light on at 6 P M and off at 6 A M all you need to do is insert pins on opposite sides of the wheel and set it so a pin passes the switch at the two sixes. It won't make any difference if the clock face says 1 A M when it's really 9 P M. If the switch changes at the right time it is right. Regards. Max. K 4 O D S.

Over the weekend, I finally ripped down the basement stairs as part of the basement finishing project. I will build new steps once I finish the floor. I knew that the stairs were pretty badly compromised by termite damage, it was visibly obvious. However, when I ripped down the stairs it was pretty horrifying to see just how bad the damage was. Firstly, the stringers for the steps had been put in place before the cement floor was poured, so that is how the termites got access. The stringers went right through to the dirt. I expected to have to dig out some old wood from these holes before patching with cement. Well, the termites had taken care of that for me. I literally just vacuumed out the dust, there were no pieces of wood at all. Several of the treads I was able to just lift off since the wood around the nails had been completely eaten away. A couple of the treads broke in half as I pried them off. The treads had been seriously compromised as well. After I had removed about four or five treads, the lower part of the one stringer just fell off the wall. The wood of that stringer was just layers of paper and dust. What I mean is that the termites ate parts of the wood, but not others, so it made this weird layering effect. You could actually flick through the 2 by 12 like it was a deck of cards or the pages of a book. Absolutely amazing to see the extent of the damage these little insects can cause. Not termite related, but the upper end of the outer stringer was also pretty scary to see. It only overlapped the surrounding joists by about half or three quarters of an inch. There were several nails driven in at crazy angles, some of them barely catching wood in both connecting pieces. Anyway, I cemented in the holes in the floor. laid down the last two joists, but since I need to cut the larger sheets outside, and it was raining, I didn't get any further than that. Hopefully, the floor will be done next weekend and I can start on the stairs. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Diagnosing a doorbell
I respectfully disagree. The voltage to a doorbell is either 16 or 24 volts always AC. The transformer has two terminals as noted. The bell has three terminals, One is common. The second is the two chime sounder and the third one is the one chime sounder. One connection on the transformer goes to the common on the bell. The other terminal on the transformer goes to both buttons. The return from each button goes to the remaining two terminals on the bell. Usually the front door goes to the two chime sounder and the back door goes to the one chime sounder. You may have to experiment to figure out which is the common. You will need assistance to push the buttons anyway so if that help is sighted you might as well have her read the labels on the bell box. Regards. Max. K 4 O D S.

The front door you hear two tones and the side door there is one tone. I assume each door's button should have two wires coming from it. The doorbell box has four wires in two pairs of two wires. There are three terminals in the doorbell box, the center terminal has two wires one from each set. What is the center terminal, negative or positive? What might be the voltage required to activate one of the doorbells? There is what I assume is an AC to DC transformer included in the system. This little box only has two terminals on it, is this a typically a steady DC voltage supply? What might be the correct way to connect the wires for such a system?

That is more-space-on, not moron, studs. When I build the wall between the finished room and the shop area, if you remember, I am off-setting the studs so that the two wall surfaces are not tied together except at the header and footer. I was just wondering if there is any reason why I shouldn't turn the studs 90 degrees. That would give a wider surface to mount the wall cladding to, and I would think that the structural rigidity will mainly come from the footer and header connection, not so much from the studs. This would also make it easier to install insulation because the interlaced studs wouldn't overlap as much. Just checking sanity here. Thanks. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] more snow!
A warm concrete floor in a house probably had hot water pipes in the concrete. Possibly electric coils though. Anyway this would not be much different from any other way of heating a house.

I don't believe that for a moment. If it is below freezing it is going to take a lot of heat just to raise the temperature of the surface above freezing. A cement walkway has a lot of mass to bring up to temperature. Then there is the latent heat. it takes something like 40 calories of energy to change the state of water from solid to liquid alone without actually raising the temperature. finally, you need to heat enough area to keep the snow and ice liquid distant enough for it to run away and not just freeze again. In locations where one only gets occasional snow and ice and the ambient temperature does not drop much below freezing then electric may be effective. Other locations like small areas, steps which are sheltered for example may be cost effective. Even the hot water systems aren't widely used except under a loading area like for example an ambulance entrance and that usually under a roof and behind a wall. The ambient atmosphere will draw huge amounts of heat off a surface very effectively.

First, let me explain that my home has a 10 square foot addition in front that comprises the dining room. This addition sits on a concrete foundation that comes up about 1 foot and the addition itself extends out in front of the rest of the house 11 feet or so and is likewise about 11 feet wide. The sidewalk parallels the southern-most outside wall about 5 feet away; this is where I'd like to put the brick planter. In short, I have about an 11' by 5' area between the house and sidewalk that I would like to cover with a brick planter. Here are my questions: 1) The foundation rises about 1 foot above ground and I'd like to build a planter at least 2 feet high; what should I be aware of/concerned about where the back wall of the planter would be against or near this foundation and siding? 2) If I build the planter right next to the house, what do I need to think about so far as maintaining the integrity of the wood siding on that wall? I guess what I want to know is how would I be able to paint that lower tier of siding from time to time? 3) Would I need to line the inside of the planter with some type of water proof material? 4) What about drainage from the planter? 5) What type of foundation do I need to think about for the planter? 6) Is it practical or even aesthetically attractive to build a planter right out to the sidewalk? I should say that I'd like this planter to serve as a guide for snowblowing that part of the sidewalk during the winter so having the planter foundation right against the sidewalk is one of my design intentions. I like to place 4 × 4 treated lumber along my sidewalk edges (at least one side) to serve as a boundary for the snowblower; it makes for a much neater, straighter resulting path through the snow as well as eliminating drift onto the lawn.

I have a switch just inside the exterior door, which is in the center of the hallway, with switches at either end, which allows a person coming in to the hallway from the kitchen end or the bedroom end to turn the lights on or off. A 3 way switch is used in tandem so that the user can turn the light on or off from two locations. As you know, one can series several lights so that one switch controls all of them, such as in my hallway, where we have three recessed lights.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] thinking ahead; cleaning AC coils
My mother's house in Florida had one which was mounted overhead in the garage. Picture a big window AC with none of the decorative stuff on it. The hot air side was ducted out through the side of the garage, intake and outlet, and the cold side went to the ducts in the house, warm air return and outlet. I have also seen one sitting next to a house in which the crawl space access hatch was too small to get the unit through. If we ever have to have our central unit replaced it's going to take one of those. The furnace, evaporator coil, and plenum were put down and the house built over them. Regards. Max. K 4 O D S.

Hey Max: I believe the bearings are so posed to be in contact with the blade. This keeps the blade from flexing from side to side. There is a bearing behind the blade that keeps the blade from sliding backwards when a cut is being made. I have my saw set where there is just about .02 between the back of the blade and the back bearing. To set your guides, move all of them away from the blade. You don't want anything to be touching the blade. Tension the blade and spin the saw a few times. This will let the blade settle on the tires exactly where it will track. Adjust the side bearings from front to back such that the blade teeth extend past the bearing. Slide the side bearings in until they touch the blade. Be careful not to deflect the blade from right to left. Move the back bearings forward until they are almost touching the back of the blade. That's it. It is very important to use the correct blade on the band saw for the given task. If you are ripping or re sawing, you need a re saw blade. If you are cutting circles, you need a thinner blade. One thing to keep in mind about a band saw is the fence should not be set square to the miter slot on the table. Every saw tracks different. One must set the fence accordingly. I use the woodslicer re saw blade. It is very quiet and does a very good job. My resaw edges are square and pretty smooth. A quick pass over a sander is all that is required to finish up the edge.

If you'd stop smoking you wouldn't need a detector... hahaha The only time your theory with height has a problem is if you heat with propane. Propane is very heavy and thus they recommend 18 inches from the floor. But, that is only if anyone heats with propane. I've seen the recommendations of higher levels for the carbon monoxide detectors too. In fact if you are a landlord in North Carolina, you are now required to provide a detector. The model I bought has a cord that pulls out to plug it in. If there is a cord, have to figure they don't mean for it to sit on the floor. I would have to find the law again but as I remember it says no less then 36 inches from the floor. Most I've talked to that know what they are talking about say to mount detectors close to the height of the thermostat. Smoke detectors are recommended over doors because smoke will roller coaster as it goes from room to room. Sorry I'm lacking on examples and details but that's why your emails are so good... - Original Message - From: Dan Rossi To: Blind Handyman List Sent: Wednesday, January 13, 2010 9:37 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] wireless bad thing detectors. So, I just got some battery operated, wirelessly inter connected, voice announcing, smoke or smoke and Carbon Monoxide detectors. I got one combination smoke and C O detector, and two smoke detectors. The combo unit will go in the basement, and then one smoke detector on the main floor, and one in the hallway on the second floor. You program each one for the location it is in, and then if any one of them go off, all of them go off and tell you what the danger is, and where it is. IE, if the unit in the basement activates because of a carbon monoxide issue,, and it is late at night and we are snug in our beds on the second floor, all of the units, will alarm, then say, EVACUATE! CARBON MONOXIDE IN THE BASEMENT! Since these are battery operated, and wireless, there are no wires to run. Makes it quite easy to install. Just hang them on the ceiling and you are good to go. Before anyone starts raising your hand and saying that Carbon Monoxide is heavier than air and thus the detectors should be near the floor, you are mistaken. I've done a lot of research on this. There are many web sites that make this invalid claim. But the real science is more convincing. Air is made of Nitrogen, N2, with an molecular mass of 28. And Oxygen, O2, with an molecular mass of 32. Carbon Monoxide is made of a Carbon atom, atomic mass 12, and one Oxygen, atomic mass 16, giving it an molecular mass of 28, equal to N2, and lighter than Oxygen. Add to that, the fact that C O is going to be a product of combustion, IE, it will be warm and thus convect upward, and you get quite a good mix of the air and C O. Some manufacturers say to put the Co detector on the wall at eye level, but that is more for the fact that many CO detectors have visual displays showing the Parts Per Million of CO in the air, and thus it makes more sense to put it somewhere where it is more easily seen on a regular basis. I thought these were worth mentioning. They're not that cheap, the combo unit was 70 bucks, and the two pack of smoke detectors was 90 I think. I got the combo direct from amazon, but the smoke detector twin pack came from EAccess via amazon. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] water question
If you run a glass of hot water it will look cloudy because of very tiny bubbles resulting from dissolved air in the water. As the glass stands undisturbed the cloudiness will begin to clear from the bottom as the bubbles rise to the top and burst. After a couple of minutes the water will be as clear as the cold water. If this does happen there is nothing you can do about it. It's determined by the laws of physics. On the other hand, if it doesn't clear as described then you have a problem. Air dissolves more easily in hot water and also in water under pressure. Combine the two and you can get a lot of dissolved air. After the pressure is relieved and the water cools a little the dissolved air comes out of solution in the form of tiny bubbles. Here's a Carnac for you. Answer Don Hoe. Contents of envelope.

There is special sealing tape, it is a lot like the wide packing tape you are probably familiar with, when I bought it it was red I don't know if that is significant. The point is to insulate but also to keep warm air, particularly when you have paid to heat it inside. Now this stuff can be flammable and is best covered if there is any significant risk of exposure to open flame. It can also be helpful for holding it into place. You can run screws through something like particle board and the foam into structure beyond it. I have used wide washers, a couple of inches to hold the heads of screws to hold it into place. A little glue like liquid nails or even some calking on the structure then press the foam into it should also work well in your application. Hope this helps.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] question about wood filler
In my admittedly limited experience you can't drill and put screws into filler. I once repaired the leg of a swivel chair. I mean the part where the caster shaft goes in. The wood had broken away around the hole. The previous owner had tried to glue the original pieces back and that lasted about 5 seconds. I bought it off him for 5 dollars.I completely cut away the damaged wood making straight smooth cuts. Then I got a block of the same kind of wood and glued it in place. Then I planed and sanded it down to be smooth and drilled a new hole for the caster shaft. I sold it several years ago for 25 dollars and as far as I know it is still holding together. I didn't take the final step of finishing the added piece to match but it could be done and with care it should be invisible. Your situation is very different than mine because your break is in a highly visible area and on something that must be made to look as good as new. Regards. Max. K 4 O D S.

I know touch up penceles work on real wood but what about on wood fillers? I am about to run out. I have a ride coming, so, if you can respond quickly I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] power drain cleaning story
The last time we had to call a plumber was when our kitchen sink was plugged up. He snaked out the line and installed a Y connector just past the trap. He explained that the next time I could take the plug out of the end of the Y connector and run the snake down it bypassing the trap. He said I could also run water down the drain while snaking. I did it last month and it worked exactly the way he said it would. As soon as the end of the snake cleared the clog the water drained away. The snake I have is very simple. One end chucks up in the drill and the other end has that spring on the end. No gears. The middle part is covered with some kind of rubbery plastic. Regards. Max. K 4 O D S.

Some of this involved rearranging washrooms and of course old drains which were not draining. Some highly respected expert was brought in with his rotorouter and all stood around in fascination as he snaked down the old toilet hole describing as he went how he could feel the snake turn left out of the building then left again toward the street then meeting some resistance .. . . About three or four minutes into the process there was a shattering sound behind the wall and a thrashing. Turns out there was a toilet on the other side of the partition feeding into the same common drain. His snake went down one hole and right back up the other largely destroying the washroom in the facility at the rear of the building. thankfully the unit was nothing more than a store house for a contractor in the next building and no one was sitting on the throne at the time.

He has a power drainer that he will only rent the root cutting one to a licensed plumber. One guy came in and insisted upon renting that unit. He told Frank that he worked with a plumber for ten years and has used the machine in the past. Frank made him sign a paper stating that the shop is not responsable for any damage caused by the machine. The unit came with 25 feet of cable. Shortly after the guy came back for more cable for the machine. He was given another 50 feet. about an hour later he came back for more cable. After he had about 200 feet he brought the machine back. He told Frank that when he was out about 180 feet the neighbor called him asking what is that thing flying around in my yard. He actually cut through his drain line about 3 feet from where he fed in the cleaner. Frank drove past the guy's home the next day and there was a back hoe in the front yard.

As usual, the instructions were set aside when opening the packages of flooring, and were consulted only briefly so that we figured out that the foam padding was to be placed on the down side. Our din and kitchen are one room separated by a set of cabinets with a bar on the bottom, so my first wife insists that we remove not only the lovely carpet in the din, but also the vinyl in the kitchen, which involved three layers. We decided to leave the bottom layer, as it may have a bit of asbestos, and simply covered it. I am quite sure that installing this flooring is fairly simple in a new home, where the base board and door trim have not been installed, but in our case we had to remove the baseboard, and cut off the bottom of the door trim, which was difficult at best. When we got to the last pieces, where one has to raise the piece in order to lock it and at the same time get it to slide under the trim, it became evident that the door trim had to come off. Our trim was installed in 1977 by my father, who built houses to last, and he had no reason to think that any sensible person would ever remove any of the fine handiwork he put in to the house. That means simply that most of the trim was destroyed in the process of removal, as it was firmly nailed in place. The job is nearing completion, just as soon as the new trim is finished and in place. The nice warm carpet is now being parceled out to dog houses etc, as the temperatures have dropped in to the low teens here in East Tennessee. It is my hope that my first wife, Sue, is pleased and that she will be smiling when my toes are frost bitten on this cold laminate flooring. I will agree that it goes down much easier than the old hardwood flooring that replaced our carpet in the living-room and dining room several years ago. Next up, buying an area rug!!!

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Happy Holidays!
I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be doing any resawing. I'll be using it to cut special shapes. I picked out a small table top one. If I find that I have outgrown it in the future I can always get a bigger one. If I were to start big it would be hard to justify going small. SWMBO needs reasons for buying a new machine. Regards.

If you touch the teeth of the saw on plastic, the plastic will come apart. A much safer way would be to find out what the offset, the distance from the edge of the saw to the blade, and add that to the final figure. You can follow something with the edge of the frame and the saw blade will never touch it. For that matter, you can clamp something on the board like a straight edge, longer level or something along those lines and follow that with the saw as well.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Music in my shed
Impedance mismatches cause power loss. That matters if you are running 100,000 watts or even 25 watts but all I expect to be putting out is a couple of hundred milliwatts. Even if I use a 1/4 wave whip which has a nominal impedance of 50 ohms and the TV booster has an output impedance of 75 ohms the small mismatch and low power won't cause any trouble. The C Crain transmitter has nothing but a short whip. I would have to open up the back, something I'm not afraid to do, and find the ground so I can take off a coaxial line to the booster. Regards.

What I do like about it over others I have used is the sound quality, it doesn't seem to lose the highs or lows say like my satellite car transmitter or the one I have from Radio Shack, brand unknown. It transmits more reliably than the RCA cordless headphones I have too. There is one corner though where it doesn't seem to reach no matter how I alter the antenna.
