RE: [BlindHandyMan] Is my house up to code?
Pardon my ignorance but If one hires an inspecter just to satisfy their curiosity, and the inspecter finds things that are out of code even if they are not a safety hazard but simply a change in code, would you not run the risk of then having the code enforced at your own expense, even if you are not selling? -Original Message- From: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Dale Leavens Sent: Thursday, May 17, 2007 7:56 AM To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Is my house up to code?

Hi, I am a not so handy house owner and have been an occasional member of this list for quite some time. I think it is so cool all the stuff you guys are able to do! A neighbor was just telling us that she is trying to sell her home and discovered that it is out of code. Apparently a recent federal housing code standard was passed and now fanny may and freddy mac won't approve loans for buyers to purchase her home. Since our homes are both A-Frames brought in as a trailer and put up on blocks I fear that my home is in the same jeopardy. Where do I have to go to to learn about housing codes and whether our house passes or fails? I suppose I could hire an inspector but we just want to be informed we aren't looking to sell right now so would like to save the money. Thanks for any and all suggestions.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] outdoor water faucet
One more thought on this topic. Most of the time there is a valve in the basement that is designated just for the out door fossett. If this is the case and they are usually up by the sealing you could turn off the valve until you need it. Up here in Minnesota you need that valve so you can shut off the water to the out door fosett to avoid problems when it freezes. -Original Message- From: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of martin webster Sent: Sunday, May 13, 2007 8:49 AM To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [BlindHandyMan] outdoor water faucet Hi Jennifer, You can fit an isolater valve, but this would depend on whether the tap is on the outside wall of your house. if so, and you can get at the pipe work just before it goes through the outside wall you can fit an isolater of the type that can only be turned with a screw driver, from with in your house.

[BlindHandyMan] revving engine.
My friend has a 1991 Plymouth acclaim with a 2.5 and when she starts it up from cold it will some times rev up on its own and she has to kick it down. With out hooking it up to a OBD or some thing is there any thing I could try to do or look for to try to solve this? I was thinking there may be a vacuum leak some where, I checked out the vacuum lines that I could find and they seem to be ok. I also shot the linckage with some WD 40 and shot some carb cleaner down the throat of the throttle body. Any thing else I can try for her before she takes it to the shop. I think a car crusher would be the proper tool in this case but it is not my car so that is not my call. Really though it has been a good car for her all in all. Ists just that it has over 170,000 miles on it and for that particular car that is really getting up there. Yes I know some one on this list no doubt is going to come back and tell me about a Plymouth acclaim with over 250,000 miles on it but that would in my opinion be the acception rather than the rule.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] revving engine.
Larry after re reading your post. I have a couple more questions / comments. First what is a V O M Is that a vehicle onboard monitor? Also I am not so sure if how the system interprets the temp. has much to do with it. because even with very cold conditions the engine should not rev so high that one would think it is at risk of blowing up. Which is how she describes it. And after she gives the throttle a quick thump it will settle down and behave. One more thing I just thought about as I am typing. The odometer and the speedometer do not work and I think she has crues control she does not use the crues but could it be sending a signal? And if so can you just unplug them? I admit that I am kind of grasping at straws with that last one but I thought it might be worth a mention.

It will not ajetate with the lid open, this is a safety feature. In order to tell if it is ajetating, there is always a safety switch. They are located in one of two places. Either in the middle of the door at the back. If this is the case you can wedge a key or some other small pointed object between the door and the switch and then turn on the ajetater. You do not need to put your hand down inside of the machine where you could get your hand caught in the ajetater. Just put your hand on top of it and see if it is turning back and forth. The other location for the switch could be under the lid in front, off to one side or the other. You will find a small slot that has a switch in it that a pin on the door depresses when the lid is put down, again push down on the switch with a key or screw driver or some thing like that. One other thing to try is to unplug the washer and feel under nieth to see if the belt is warn or broken. Good luck Let us know how it turns out.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] outdoor water faucet
Depending on the type of handle you should be able to take the screw out of the middle of the handle and pull it off. It does not have to be held on with a screw to use it . Just hide the handle and when you need to use the water your self just take the handle out with you and slide it on the fossett and away you go. I don't think I have ever seen one that you can't do this with. Hope that helps. -Original Message- From: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Jennifer Jackson Sent: Saturday, May 12, 2007 4:32 PM To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Subject: [BlindHandyMan] outdoor water faucet Ok, guys, it is my kids again.

Is there some kind of lock or something I can put on it? I would settle for something to keep the preschooler from turning it on. In case you are worried about my kids safety, my back yard is very tiny and there is only this one little strip around the corner to the locked gate that puts them out of earshot from my kitchen. Unfortunately the faucet is over their. I usually notice right off when it is on, but I want to stop it before it starts.

Moving the 400 pound cast iron pig RE: [BlindHandyMan]

Strap the dolly on the back of the radiator with the wheels on the left side and the handle on the right. Or vise versa what ever the dcase may be. Then with some help, tip the dolly on its back. At this point the radiator will be laying on top of the dolly then stand the dolly up and it will be sitting on the dolly the way that a fridge would sit on the dolly. Then you should be able to wheel it down stairs. I hope this makes sence. Two final thoughts. Be damd careful and get some strong help. Two strong backs and week minds would be good.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] Re: Question about soaking the air cleaner oil foam in my new lawn mower
To add to what Larry said about not over filling the engine with oil. I lent a lawn mower to a friend and I told him to make sure to add some oil because I knew that it was low. I should have changed the oil and put in fresh oil before I lent it out any way, So I will take the responsibility for that my self. This mower is about 20 years old and never failed to start and always ran perfect. Well he called me about 2 hours later and said that he added some oil and ran it for about 5 minutes and it was throwing oil all over the place. I am sure that he over filled it. I am not upset as well I could be. I say all this to re enforce the fackt that too much oil will blow out your seals. Not a pretty sight. Now I have a question myself. If I can find the parts and it is not too expensive I will restore this motor. Question I have is this. This same guy sent me home with a mower last year that is even older than the one I lent to him I would gues upwards of 30 years and it is a wards. I am usually not big on using stop leak products but on that old wards mower do you think there is much hope that it will stop the oil leak It looks to me that it is the main crank baring on the out put side. There is no oil on the deck only under nieth. If so then what product am I looking for and how do I use it? -Original Message- From: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Larry Stansifer Sent: Friday, May 04, 2007 4:39 PM To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [BlindHandyMan] Re: Question about soaking the air cleaner oil foam in my new lawn mower Vicky, You probably don't want to use last year's fuel in your new mower. Secondly, check the engine oil level. I've seen them ship both ways either with or without any oil in the crank case. Typically this is done in one of two ways there will be either a sight glass with a maximum and minimum level line on it. The most common method is a small dip-stick secured to the base of the oil filler plug. Please whatever you do!!! don't over fill the crank case as this can result in blown engine seals.

Along that line, I have old gas from last year in my gas can. Should I use it?, and if not what is a safe way to dispose of it? Thanks guys.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] Metal roofing verses shingles
Ralph I as a blind person have not put down shingles, so I don't know what technique if any would work. However if you go with shingles, don't feel like you won't be able to make use of your own labor. What I used to do when I helped my brother, was to set the shingles. I would brake the bundles and set them in place then he would line them up and nail them down. That saves a lot of time for the guy nailing down the shingle not to have to chase shingles. -Original Message- From: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Ralph Supernaw Sent: Wednesday, May 02, 2007 12:20 PM To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Metal roofing verses shingles Hi, It's come to that time when we need to cover our roof with another layer of something. I'm leaning toward metal roofing rather than another layer of asphalt shingles (we only have one layer so do not need to remove it before adding another). Even though metal roofing is far more expensive I'm thinking we can make up most, if not all, of the difference by doing it ourselves instead of hiring it done. I would like to ask some questions before going much further. First, I don't see how a person with basically no vision can be accurate enough to get the shingles on evenly. When I am dealing with woodworking I can live with imperfections. After all, I can try again or live with it. However, the roof is very public and will be looked at by any future buyers when it comes time to sell. One thing I don't want is a roofing job that is really good for a blind person. Have any of you done a professional grade job with shingles? If so, how did you do it? One of the attractions of metal roofing is the variety of colors. Are there colors that tend to fade over time and so should be avoided? It seems I remember red used to be a problem color for cars. Any thoughts and suggestions are appreciated.

[BlindHandyMan] Steaks for marking your spot
Folks I know this is not a garden list but the question I have really has more to do with types of material to use so I figure I have come to the right place. Hear it is. I am getting ready to start my garden and I want to mark each of about 300 potato plants so I can dig them up in the fall. Question is, what type of sticks, pipes, poles, rods sticks or what ever the case may be, is the most economical yet durable and practicalfor this application. There is a lot out there to choose from and I know that there is problbly not one write answer. Some one on the garden list suggested rebar. Only trouble is I would probably need to go buy some type of special hand held power tool to cut this crap. Hmmm actually now that I think about that option it would give me a good excuse to justify buying a new tool. But really what do you all think.

The saw guide I referred to in an earlier post is an EZ Smart guide from EurekaZone It is simply a plastic shoe that you have to attach to the shoe of your circ saw. You have to drill four holes in the shoe of your saw and then bolt this plastic shoe on. The plastic shoe has a groove in it that matches up with a raised rail on a metal track. The track is four feet long and about 5 inches wide. The rail runs down the center of it. There is a flexible plastic strip that runs along the lower edge of the track. The first time you use it, you just run the saw along it to trim the plastic edge and now you can just line up the edge of that plastic strip and that is exactly where your saw will cut. It actually comes with two four foot long tracks so you can connect them together to make longer cuts. There are two clamps that slide in t shaped grooves on the bottom of the track so if you want, you just throw the track on what you are going to cut, slide the clamps into place and tighten them down.

Also they are great for any one that wears glasses. And as well as a utility knife, it may be good to have an exacto knife or if you can get some surgical scalpels they are great too for those very delicate cutting jobs. One last thing.

Hi All Let's make up a Tool Kit for Your Wife or Girlfriend so they can help with those many jobs around the home. Here are some suggestions with some left out essentials. What would you, like to have added in for a general purpose complete Tool Kit. A Tool Kit Assembled Especially for your special person. Something practical, yet not insulting -- a tool kit for your wife or girlfriend. . Not all tool kits are created equal. Women and Men really differ when it come to tools. Men generally believe the more you have and the bigger they are, the more capable you are. The biggest difference is that when it comes to Women's tool kit, less is more-in many ways. Women's like simplicity. Nothing would please a Women more than having one all-purpose tool. While that may be a bit ambitious, there are definitely certain basics that no Women should be without in her tool kit. Simplicity aside, weight, size, balance and comfort are especially important to women. * Hammer: It's the foundation of most tool kits. Most women want one that is not too heavy, but tough enough to get the job done. Hammers are sold by weight in ounces. A 13- to 16-ounce hammer with a comfortable rubber grip will suit most moms just fine. Be sure the hammer has a smooth face to avoid dings; claws for pulling nails; and consider a magnetized nail groove to pick up and hold nails in place. About $15. * Screwdriver: We recommend an all-in-one, multi-bit screwdriver with a single handle and shaft, and an assortment of bits that will work with 90 percent of the screws on Earth. As with the hammer, a comfortable padded rubber ergonomic grip will make all the difference in power and safety. Give mom one with a reversible ratchet driver and she'll be in home-improvement heaven. About $12. * Measuring tape: A good-quality 12-foot to 16-foot tape measure is lightweight and will fit nicely in women's hand. An oval housing and a rubber boot add comfort. About $10. * Level: A small torpedo bubble level (about 8 to 10 inches long) has always been a favourite for women everywhere-especially for those who love to hang pictures and art. Though still popular, the torpedo level is rapidly being replaced by the laser level, which projects a straight line (vertical or horizontal) onto any surface for use when hanging pictures, chair rail, wallpaper-you name it. Torpedo level: about $8; laser level: about $30. * Pliers: There are three styles of pliers that no women's tool kit should be without. A standard pliers for general use; a long-nose pliers, super for bending and cutting wire or for holding small finish nails for hammering; and an adjustable wide-mouth, tongue-and-groove pliers, great for small household plumbing repairs. Look for padded rubber handles for added comfort and a better grip. About $10. * Wrench: A small (6-inch) adjustable wrench (also known as a Crescent wrench) is a must for assembling furniture, tightening loose nuts and changing a bicycle tire. About $15. * Putty Knife: A small (2-inch-wide blade) flexible metal putty knife is great for patching holes in walls and for scraping a rough surface. Plastic and wooden handles are out; oval padded soft-grip ergonomically designed handles are the rage. About $5. * Utility knife: A utility knife with a soft rubber grip for opening the boxes from all those new shoe deliveries. About $5. * Mini hacksaw: An all-purpose hacksaw for cutting tubing, pipe, dowels and other small items. Saves the kitchen knives big time! About $10. * Tool box: A kitchen drawer serves as a great home for women's tool kit, but lugging that drawer around can be a pain. A soft-sided cloth tool bag is the latest and greatest in tool storage for women. Size and compartments will dictate price. About $20. Other small items to complete women's tool kit include: * Sandpaper: An assortment of coarse, medium, fine and extra-fine, for touching up dings and dents in furniture. * Rubber jar-opening pad: For getting a grip on things, including jar tops. * String: To tie things and make a straight line. * Glue: A small bottle of white glue to repair a damaged picture frame or kitchen chair; a tube of crazy glue for everything else. * Dark-brown

RE: [BlindHandyMan] 2002 Buick Century TRAC OFF light?
I had a problem with my 89 s10 and my mechanic was going to use some type of gaget that he had to clear the fault code. He said oh ya thatÂ’s write with this old of a truck I just need to unplug the battery for a couple of minutes. I assume from that experience that the newer cars that you may have to have it hooked up to some equipment at a garage for them to clear the code. I would ask a reputable mechanic if this is the case. robert -Original Message- From: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of NLG Sent: Thursday, April 19, 2007 9:33 PM To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Subject: [BlindHandyMan] 2002 Buick Century TRAC OFF light? Today I changed the front left hub assembly I.E. wheel bearing on a 2002 Buick Century. I wasn't sure which wheel bearing was bad so I jacked up the front of the car and blocked it so that both wheels were off the garage floor. I then had someone start the car and put it in drive, and accelerate to around 50 MPH . The left wheel was noisier than the right one, so I removed the old left side hub assembly containing the wheel bearing and replaced it with a new one. This did fix the wheel bearing noise, it is gone. However, now the TRAC OFF light on the dash is lit and stays on while the key is on and when the car is being driven down the road. How do I turn the light out? I double checked the wheel sensor and it is plugged in. I hooked up an OBD II scanner but for some reason it wouldn't communicate with the ECM so I couldn't pull any codes. I disconnected the positive cable from the battery for 10 minutes and reattached it. The light was out when I turned the key to the on position and stayed out when the car was started but came back on in 500 feet of travel down the street. The only thing I can think of to do is to try pulling the codes again. This OBD II code reader is fairly new to me. I only used it once before and that was on a 2000 F150 4x4. The truck had a miss. I plugged the scan tool into the port beneath the dash, turned the key to the on possession without starting the truck and then turned the scan tool on. The scan tool gave me a P0301 code. I changed the coil on plug and the miss was gone. When I plugged the scan tool into the Buick, I used the same procedure as for the F150 but for some reason, I got a message that the scanner could not communicate. Does anyone know if the procedure for pulling codes is different for a Ford verses a GM vehicle? Any and all ideas will be appreciated :) Thanks :) [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] To listen to the show archives go to link http://acbradio.org/handyman.html or ftp://ftp.acbradio.org/acbradio-archives/handyman/ The Pod Cast address for the Blind Handy Man Show is. http://www.acbradio.org/news/xml/podcast.php?pgm=saturday The Pod Cast address for the Cooking In The Dark Show is. http://www.gcast.com/u/cookingindark/main.xml Visit The Blind Handy Man Files Page To Review Contributions From Various List Members At The Following address: http://www.jaws-users.com/handyman/ Visit the new archives page at the following address http://www.mail-archive.com/blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com/ For a complete list of email commands pertaining to the Blind Handy Man list just send a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo!

RE: [BlindHandyMan] I d mates.
Well as far as the topic of this product being on topic for the blind handy man. Hear are a couple of ideas. This could be used to mark things in the shop such as paints, varnish, stains, and other fluids that come in containers that may look similar but have different contants. Some times I can't tell the difference between motor oil and tranny fluid. Another use could be for marking wires such as plug wires or if you are working on a wire harness that has several wires that you need to keep track of and you can't see the colors, you could mark them with tags that the unit could read back to you once you have them marked.

[BlindHandyMan] saving parts from a Dodge Caravan.
My friend has a Dodge Caravan at my place and he is going to scrap it. It is about a 1990 or 91. I offered to take off a few parts that he could put up in his garage for future use since he has other vans that are about the same year and model. Any thoughts on what I could save for him? I am not going to go as far as pulling the motor or the tranny or the wire harness. What I am thinking is parts like the starter, alternater, and maybe the power stearing pump. How about the coil pack I want to salvage what I can for him but again I don't intend on this being a major project. Any thoughts are welkcome.

[BlindHandyMan] RESump pumps
I am fermiliar with sump pumps and basically how they work but I don't know any thing about the out put side, do they usually just run a pipe out the wall? As I was reading Scott's post about this I had a thought. Why couldn't a line be run from the sump basket up the wall and out and then hook up a spout that has threads on it so you could just hook up a garden hose and run it where ever you want. For example you could run it into a naybors basement. OK well maybe not some one elses basement but seriously you could run it to a low spot in the yard or into a storm system or what ever works best in your case. Is this method already used? If not Why don't they do this? -Original Message- From: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Scott Howell Sent: Sunday, April 15, 2007 5:59 AM To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] cracked foundation You know what amazes me is that with all the technological advancements that have been made in construction, why hasn't someone come up with a basement that doesn't leak. Something that could be placed in the hole before the basement is poored. Something like a type of plastic liner perhaps or along those lines. I guess its less expensive to use block when poor concrete over it, but again, is that to save money or does it offer some advantages a totally poored concrete basement or is there such a thing? Well its been raining like hell for the last 8 or so hours. So, if this puppy is gonna leak, its gonna be over the next couple of days. We're to get 1 to 3 inches of rain. Btw, here's another aside from all this cracked foundation bit. Why in the hell do builders install sump-pumps and just bring the outlet about six inches from the house. Doesn't it make sense that this dumps water right back at the point where it will drain back in? I surely don't understand the logic.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] Board stretcher.
Dan On a more serious note. Would it be practicle to cut your Too short board in half and then cut a ? inch piece off of a scrap piece and after you have all three pieces together and nailed to the wall, use some type of wood filler and apply the finnesh. Question then would be, Are you going to paint this trim or put on some other type of finnish. If you plan to paint I think this would work but if you are wanting to keep the wood grain then I don't know weather it would work or not. -Original Message- From: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Dan Rossi Sent: Monday, April 16, 2007 1:24 PM To: BlindHandyman@yahoogroups.com Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Board stretcher.

[BlindHandyMan] accessible auto manuals.
Hi I went to www.Cootersautomanuals.com to try to find out where I could find either on disc or as a down load, Auto manuals either service and repair or owners manuals. I had some trouble navigating the site. It could be not JAWS friendly or it could just have been me., not sure which. In any case I wrote the following note and here is the response I got back. I am hoping I have found an ally. I will let you all know what turns up. My note and their response ar as follows. My Wife and I have a 1996 Pontiac GRAND AM. We have the owners manual. However I am Blind and so the print manual is of no value to me. What I need to know is if the manuals are available in electronic format. I use a screen readerwhich just meamns I have a talking computer. so If the owners manual is available for down load or can be orderd on a CD for the computer, That would be useful. Hope you can help. Thanks Robert Robert, There are a few people selling electronic manuals on ebay, but I didn't see any Pontiac. It never occurred to me they could be used that way. I'll check more into it. Jim I wrote himn back and let him know about the blind handy man list and told him there are quite a number of us out hear that could benefit from this .

RE: [BlindHandyMan] Owners manual for a car
Larry I some how have lost that email that you sent with the contact info about owners manuals for a 1996 Pontiac Grand AM. Would you be so kind as to post them again? Thanks. All is not lost for building a real sleeper. I still have that old s10 and I can get an old 350 crate motor with a Rochestr carb and it is a good motor. I have it in an old 77 panel truck that I used for a work truck at one point. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Larry Stansifer Sent: Wednesday, April 11, 2007 8:52 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [BlindHandyMan] Owners manual for a car Robert, The three sources I sent you are shop manuals and extremely comprehensive in nature.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] Owners manual for a car
It may be helpful at some point to have a service and repair manual like the chiltons or some other and I will check out getting one but what I was really looking for is a way to access the little owners manual that you would find in the glove box. I think for preventative maintainance and care of the machine, as to put off un nesesary repairs down the road as much as possible I would think the little owners manual should be of some help.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] Owners manual for a car
Larry Thank you for all your input. The one important thing I am looking for at this time since the car has no mechanical problems that I know of is the maintenance schedule. In regards to fluid changes and so on. The car has the new anti freeze and I don't know what else might be different from the old relics that I am used to maintaining. I sure don't want to dump in dexron if it calls for mercron or what ever the case is and I want to know this stuff for my self even if I have some one else do some of the service. Thanks again for all your input. BTW Great job on the BHM show I made me a CD so I can give it to some one to listen to if I wish. Regards.

Unlike the old days, you really won't find any hard service data in that book. I guess I am not certain what you are looking for specifically.

[BlindHandyMan] RE: Trans am, Grand am, Whatever.
Larry Sorry did not mean to pile on. I had not read Rich's response regarding the car being a grand am not a trans am before I sent my reply. -- About that motor and it being a bitch to service and the plugs being hard to get to. I will probably have most of the work done by my mechanic friend down the street. I am sure I will try to tackle some of it myself. Good news about the plugs is that they were just changed this winter. He went with the double platinum plugs. I don't know that I would have gone that rout. Not saying that they are nessasaraly the wrong plug because I really don't know. I just have heard from some people that they are over rated. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong. I don't know a lot about plugs but I have successfully installed quite a few sets in my day. but I think since they are in there and it is running quite nice, I will leave them right where they are. -Original Message- From: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Robert J.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] Air Purifiers
Spiro I am no authority on the subject of ionization. Seems to me that from what I have read here, the verdict is still out. You would have to do your own research and decide for your self. From what little I have learned, If you only run these units when you are not in the room I can't see what harm they would be. I think o3 is not very stable so any bad affects would dissipate quickly. Again what I say is just based on what little I have heard over the years. Just some things to consider when doing your own research. All the units I have seen are more than I am willing to pay so I have not bothered to do any heavy research for myself.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] Automotive Maintenance Show
Hay Larry So very glad to hear you are going to be a guest. I was hoping they would be able to rope you into it some day. I am going to put this one on a CD to keep. You mentioned fluids bumper to bumper. Hope you can put some emphasis on the coolant system. Next to oil I believe that a low, or clogged coolant system can destroy a perfectly good engine as quick as any thing. Just my unprofessional 2 cents worth. As many of you that have read my posts know I spent all last summer chasing down leaks in the coolant system on my little s10. It is a good thing that I was keeping a close watch on it because now I have a problem with the temp gage. The up side is that I now have a perfectly sealed system. I no longer am loosing a drop. and given the age and condition of the truck I have decided to just continue to moniter the coolant and drive the weels off of it.and not put any more money into it accept for ruitine maintenance like oil changes and brake pads and tires as needed. When she pukes she pukes. I havbe had a great run with this truck. For $750 I have gotten almost 2 years and 15,000 miles without ever being left stranded once. Big reason I am going to pull most of the life support is that the body is finally starting to take a nose dive. Best regards.

I was hoping they would be able to rope you into it some day. I am going to put this one on a CD to keep. You mentioned fluids bumper to bumper. Hope you can put some emphasis on the coolant system. Next to oil I believe that a low, or clogged coolant system can destroy a perfectly good engine as quick as any thing. Just my unprofessional 2 cents worth. As many of you that have read my posts know I spent all last summer chasing down leaks in the coolant system on my little s10. It is a good thing that I was keeping a close watch on it because now I have a problem with the temp gage. The up side is that I now have a perfectly sealed system. I no longer am loosing a drop. and given the age and condition of the truck I have decided to just continue to moniter the coolant and drive the weels off of it.and not put any more money into it accept for ruitine maintenance like oil changes and brake pads and tires as needed. When she pukes she pukes. I havbe had a great run with this truck. For $750 I have gotten almost 2 years and 15,000 miles without ever being left stranded once. Big reason I am going to pull most of the life support is that the body is finally starting to take a nose dive. Best regards.

[BlindHandyMan] speakers are installed.
I installed the back speakers in my pick up today and it all turned out good. To differenciate between the 2 wires I held the clip with the cutout part away from me and cut the left wire then I tied that wire in a loop and did the same on the other side and when I attached the wires I put the wire with the larger tab on the wire that I had looped And put the other wire with the wire that I had not looped. After I had cut the other wire off of the clip of cource. Hope this makes sence. I did not have a wire stripper so I had to use a wire cutter and very carefully cut through the casing without cutting the wire itself. That can be a challenge. By the way, what should I look for when shopping for a wire stripper?

RE: [BlindHandyMan] My Favourite Wire Stripper
Victor I have also used a knife for this task and yes it does work pretty well until you are following a speaker wire on a home system and some how end up with the hot cord of your wifes favorite lamp in your hands and end up cutting that instead. -Original Message- From: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Victor Gouveia Sent: Thursday, March 22, 2007 7:47 PM To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Subject: [BlindHandyMan] My Favourite Wire Stripper And before everyone goes thinking I'm going to talk about a buxom blonde or fiery redhead, don't go there. Seriously though, My father and I have always used a utility knife to strip wire. We would lay the wire to be stripped across our thumb in a cross pattern, then put the knife of the blade parallel to our thumb. This would allow for a more proper gauge of how much housing we were cutting off the wire and how deep we needed to go. I know, it wasn't the most safest way of stripping wire, but it was fast and pretty accurate and does what you need in a pinch. I've never cut myself, and the biggest problem I've ever had was with telephone wire and it's minute housing. I had to do those with my teeth, but the utility knife worked out with every other wire I ever had to strip.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] tyres
What is Brookstone and do they have a web site? As for tire tread depth, I donÂ’t have a salution for measuring the exact depth. However if you feel between the treads every 6 inches or so you will feel a raised line that goes from the inside of the tire to the out side. Once the tread is worn down to those lines the tire is at its leagle limit. I have heard them refered to as Nader bumps because Ralph Nader was instrumental in making it mandatory for all tire manufacturers to incorporate them in to all tires. Hope this helps. -Original Message- From: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Ron or Susan Denis Sent: Tuesday, March 13, 2007 3:53 PM To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] tyres I have a talking tire gauge someone saw and bought for me from brookstone. It differs from my visual tire gauge by 3 PSI but the difference is consistent throughout the range we keep our tires and I honestly don't know which of the two is correct. This pressure gauge is simple, holds the measure after you take it so you can press a button and hear it repeated. As it was sold at Brookstone, it is not made specifically for the blind, but it works fine. I have nothing that gives audible feedback on tread wear, however.

[BlindHandyMan] How are your projects going?
Hi Group I post the folloing thoughts onDavid Ferrin's authority. Many people ask for advice on a wide range of fixit issues and a lot of good feed back is given. Some times the advice is born out of solid knowledge and experience and some times out of a hunch of what might work. This is all very good but what I think would be nice to see in addition to all this is people to share how there projects turn out and what worked and what did not. We all like to hear success stories. I remember some one keeping us posted about there shop that they had delivered to them and the prep work that went in to getting the spot ready for the building. And there have been others I think we could all learn a lot from these experiences. Even if your attempt was a dismal failure It might help some one else avoid the same pitfall that you suffered.

[BlindHandyMan] Checking anti freeze level
Of cource never attempt to open the radiator cap until the engine has cooled down. Getting a little antifreeze on my hands does not bother me all that much but if it can be avoided that is all the better. What I have found works is to open the cap and with it loose lift it up and down in the neck of the radiator. This will only tell you one thing. If it is full to the top you will hear the cap hit the antifreezein that case tighten the cap and you are good to go. If you don't detect any fluid then of cource you would need to stick your finger in the radiator to see how low it is. The other option which is probably even better is to put a straw in the radiator and blow on it as you lower it to see how low it is. This methoud of blowing into the straw as you lower it also works very well with the over flow. To get a sence of what to listen to or feel, try doing this with a radiator that you have already determined is fully topped off. Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Something is new at Yahoo! Groups.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] Sliding screen door rollers
Are the rollers on the top and the bottom rides in a track with no rollers? If this is the case you may have a bent track at the top. If the rollers at the top are bad you may need to lift up on the door to pull the bottom out of the track and when you lift up on the door the rollers should clear the track this may expose the screws to remove or adjust the rollers. If the track at the top is bent you can try to reform it with a pair of plyers. I have done this before with some success but you should take care not to make too big of adjustments at a time. IF you cause a bend or creese in the track you could have a mess on your hands. -Original Message- From: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Betsy Whitney, Dolphin Press Sent: Tuesday, March 06, 2007 11:27 AM To: blindhandyman-yahoogroups.com Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Sliding screen door rollers Aloha all, Well, I guess it's time to do something about the screen on our sliding door.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] Duck tape.
Interesting. I did not know that. -Original Message- From: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Dan Rossi Sent: Tuesday, March 06, 2007 1:01 PM To: BlindHandyman@yahoogroups.com Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Duck tape. One of the more interesting things about duct tape, is that, in fact, it was actually called duck d u c k tape. It was originally developed as an all-purpose, somewhat water resistant, adhesive for the military. It was named for the cotton duck fabric backing. After WW II HVAC guys started using it to seal duct work and it then became known as duct d u c t tape. so those people who mispronounce it as duck tape are actually calling it by it's original name. -- Blue skies.

However, there will be some sort of feelable difference concerning the connector. It will either have opposite connectors for each wire (female, male). Or, it could have the plastic connector keyed in some way. Sometimes there is a slot over one of the terminals, or one side of the plastic has a raised area, or something. You can use this to determine the same wires on each wire connector. Simply figure this out and mark the same wire on each connector in reference to this key with a piece of tape. We should be talking about only 2 wires, after all. You might be able to determine the type of terminals used in the factory connector and add these terminals to your new wires and just plug them in without cutting the wires. Some stereo installers have wiring adapter kits for this purpose. Crutchfield used to be a source for these. Good Luck. - Original Message - From: Robert J.

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.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] Whiney 2000 Chevy s10
Patric What engine is this you have? First thing to do is to take off the serpentine belt and start the engine. DonÂ’t run it very long. This will point you in one of 2 directions. If it still whines then you can pretty much eliminate every thing belt driven including the belt itself being the cause. And start looking at vacuumed, and even possible exhaust. If the whining quits then you are looking at things like the Barings on either the water pump, air-conditioning compressor, power steering, fan clutch, idler pulley, tentioner pulley Find some one with a mechanics stethoscope. One more thing to try and I admit I am grasping at straws with this last one but you may want to try and pull the vaccume line off the PCV valve and see what that does. If that stopps the noise then I donÂ’t know what you would do about that but it would point your mechanic in the write direction. Let us know how this turns out I amn diing to know.

I have a Chevy s10 that likes to whine. It all started after I had re-installed my stock air filter back on the truck. The next day it made a loud bang noise in the engine compartment and ever since then it has been whining. A co-worker said that it sounds almost like the Jetson's Car sound. Thats the best i can describe it. It definitely changes with the speed of the vehicle and whine im idling it sounds like a chirping and whining noise mixed. When i shut off the car and the engine stops it lets like a whiney sigh. I took it to a local mechanic and they couldnt figure it out but said that they could change the valve cover gasket to see if that fixes the problem. I havent had them do anything yet but i wanted to get another opinion before i have them try and then that not be it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Patrick in Sacramento.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] cars and towing
couple more things to consider is some thing like an s10 blazer or a GMC Gymmy or if you like some other brand That way you would have the lugsury and room of a car and better milage than your big suberbin. Also you would have a full truck frame and rear weel drive which I think is much better for towing. I don't know about other models but I believe some if not all Dodge caravans have a uni body construction which I don't think will stand up as well over the long haul. So what I might look for is some thing with a full frame, 5plus passenger interior, preferably a 4 door, and rear wheel drive. From there you can check out gas milage. What I am really saying is there are much smaller versions of what you now have and you won't need much cargo space since you can pull a pop up or just a utility trailer for your stuff. -Original Message- From: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of carl Sent: Tuesday, February 27, 2007 5:26 AM To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] cars and towing you need a to bar fitted and then if you have the power you can toe anything - Original Message - From: Jennifer Jackson To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, February 27, 2007 5:15 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] cars and towing Hey Guys, I am having a car dilemma that I sure hope you guys can help me out with.

The gas mileage for around town is killing us though. My thought has been to replace it with a car that will hold our family of five, and then getting a trailer to tow with the other stuff when we need it. Can a car do this? Do I need a tow package? What questions am I not thinking to ask? I look forward to your answer and possible suggestions. We are still driving that Suburban with the busted out back window.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] cars and towing
I have to agree with every thing Larry said. And if you go with a full size pick up with a crew cab you would not need a trailer unless you wanted a pop up to camp in. the other two options I see there are use a topper to store your camping supplies and keep them dry. The other option is to get a cab over camper that you could stay in. and when not in use the camper could be taken off the truck. I think the cab over camper will kill your milage when on the truck but I don't think there is a perfect salution here So just go down your list of pros and cons and have fun with it. -Original Message- From: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Larry Stansifer Sent: Tuesday, February 27, 2007 11:56 AM To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [BlindHandyMan] cars and towing Jennifer, Any vehicle equipped with a towing package will clearly define it's towing capacity in either the owners manual or in the case of pick-up trucks and some SUV's it will be on a tag located on the driver side door post. First of all if you plan on doing any towing at all please-please-please stay away from any vehicle with front wheel drive. The added length, width and tongue weight of the towed vehicle will make that thing handle like a drunk Elephant on a mud bank. Back in the days of married we had a 96 dodge ram 1500 extended cab pickup with the factory towing package and a 5.9 leter v8. the truck was rated with a towing capacity of 7500LBS but it was all the poor thing could do to pull our 24-FT 4800LB vacation trailer over donner pass. I did several performance upgrades to the motor and suspension but it still wasn't any fun on a long trip so be very skeptical of towing specifications. Fuel mileage is an extremely difficult call to make. My feeling has always been error on the side of performance and versatility. There is nothing worse than making a $12,000 or $15,000.00 investment only to find out 6 months later it won't do the job for you.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] What Causes Static Electricity
Most of us wont be able to see this but my wife discovered that if you cause a static electricity charge near a flouresant bulb such as the small type that you screw into a standard light socket it will cause the bulb to glow for a split second. -Original Message- From: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Ray Boyce Sent: Wednesday, February 28, 2007 12:28 PM To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Subject: [BlindHandyMan] What Causes Static Electricity Hi Everyone Static electricity is usually caused when certain materials are rubbed against each other, like wool on plastic or the soles of your shoes on the carpet. The process causes electrons to be pulled from the surface of one material and relocated on the surface of the other material. Rubbing a balloon on a wool sweater creates charges on the surfaces The material that loses electrons ends up with an excess of positive (+) charges. The material that gains electrons ends up an excess of negative (-) charges on its surface. Electrons pulled from orbit The gain or loss of electrons can be explained by recalling that atoms consist of a nucleus of neutrons and positively charged protons, surrounded by negatively charged electrons. Normally, there is the same number of electrons as protons in each atom. But if some object pulls away electrons from their orbit or shell around the nucleus, that causes the atom to have a positive charge because it has more protons than electrons. Likewise, the other material will have extra electrons in its shell, giving the atoms a negative charge. Charges on surface Note that the charged atoms are on the surface of the material. Static electricity is different than regular electricity that flows through metal wires. Most of the time the materials involved in static electricity are nonconductors of electricity. If electrical charges build up on the outside of a metal, most of them will dissipate into the metal, similar to an electrical current. Prefers dry air When the air is humid, water molecules can collect on the surface of various materials. This can prevent the buildup of electrical charges. The reason has to do with the shape of the water molecule and its own electrical forces. Thus, static electricity is formed much better when the air is dry or the humidity is low. Force field causes attraction An object that has static electricity charges built up on its surface has an electrical force field coming from the surface. This field will mildly attract neutral objects or those with no charge. The field will strongly attract an object that has an opposite charge on its surface. From this we get the expression: Opposites attract. If two objects have the same charge, the electrical force field will cause those objects to push away from each other or repel. Attraction Rub a balloon on a wool sweater. The balloon collects negative electrical charges on its surface and the wool collects positive charges. You can then stick the balloon to the wall, which does not have an excess of either charge. The balloon will also stick to the wool, although the charges may jump back to the original material in a short time. You can also run a comb through your hair to charge the comb with static electricity. The comb can then be used to attract neutral pieces of tissue. Picking up tissue with a comb Repulsion Comb your hair on a dry day or after using a hair drier. The plastic comb collects negative charges from the hair, causing the hair to have an excess of positive charges. Since like charges repel, the hair strand will tend to push away from each other, causing the flyaway hair effect. Why sparks fly When two objects that have opposite charges get near each other, the electrical field pulls them together. What actually happens is that the negatively charged (-) electrons are attracted to the atoms in the other material that have an excess positive (+) charge. Things are much more stable if all the atoms have an equal number of (+) and (-) charges. Strong forces hold electrons The reason the electrons can't leave their present material is because of strong molecular forces that keep them where they are. If there are enough positive (+) charges attracting them, and the distance is not too great, some of the electrons will break loose and fly across the gap to the (+) side. Once it starts Once a few electrons start to move across the gap, they heat up the air, such that more and more will jump across the gap. This heats the air even more. It all happens very fast, and the air gets so hot that it glows for a short time. That is a spark. The same thing happens with lightning, except on a much larger scale, with higher voltages and current. Ben Franklin Ben Franklin proved that lightning was static electricity by flying a kite in a storm and detecting static electricity by seeing the hairs on the kite string stand on end and creating a spark with a metal key.

Attention to detail goes a long way toward a lawn achieving a great look over a good look. Using an edger to clean up a lawn's perimeter enhances its overall appeal and neatness, resulting in garden edges and footpaths with a crisp and clean appearance. An edger is a different tool than a trimmer, although many modern units do feature interchangeable trimming and edging attachments. Whereas a trimmer's cutting ability relies on a rapidly rotating string positioned at the end of a shaft, edgers typically use a rigid rotating blade to ensure a straight, uniform cut. Although a trimmer can be used for edging applications, the edges tend to look rather scruffy, whereas a dedicated edging blade is designed specifically to achieve a beautiful, immaculate appearance. The first step to edging is thorough inspection of the area to be edged, removing all sticks, stones, wires or other foreign objects. Depending on the edger model, blade height may then need to be adjusted. Operating an edger is very similar to operating a trimmer. Generally speaking, position the edger upright and perpendicular to the ground and, while the engine is running, pull the throttle trigger to activate blade rotation. Allow the edger blades to reach maximum speed before lowering the cutting head into the lawn. This may take a second or two but will help ensure you begin with a clean, smooth cut. With the blade at full speed, ease the cutting head downward. As the cutting action begins, push the unit slowly forward so the blade cuts as you walk forward. If the blade jams or stops in the ground, retract the blade and begin again. If cutting on a concrete edge such as a sidewalk or driveway, rest the guide wheel of the cutting head on the hard edge of the surface you are cutting against. The guide wheel, a common feature of most dedicated edgers, helps guide the edger along the sidewalk, assisting with directional control. As the edger is pushed with a slow walk forward, cut a swath that lines the edge of the sidewalk. If grass growing over the concrete prevents seeing the edge of the sidewalk, tilt the edger slightly sideways so the blade tilts and kisses the concrete edge, acting as a guide. While edging, many models tend to kick back dirt and grass. A great deal of this debris often hits the operator's feet and ankles, so it's advisable to wear some tough work boots while edging. A variety of new edgers on the market offer a slew of new bells and whistles. Some manufacturers offer multiple-use units with the ability to operate as both trimmer and edger, or even other lawn tools. In the past, the drawbacks of some multi-use units have included increased tool weight and problems with balancing the edger perpendicular to the ground during use. If a lot of edging is to be done, it may be wise to invest in a single-use dedicated edger for easier handling. Nevertheless, new edger designs hit the market every year featuring enhanced maneuverability, greater design efficiency and more. From the small end of the equipment spectrum to the heavy-duty end, today's edgers come in many models to meet an array of needs. The YardStick American Gardener's lightweight and compact YardStick cordless electric trimmer/edger offers 24 volts of rechargeable power. The unit comes with a wall-mount charge rack to re-juice between jobs, comfortable grips and an adjustable handle. As a trimmer the YardStick offers surprisingly effective cutting power for an electric tool, efficiently chopping away freestanding grass and weeds. This two-in-one system's edging action comes in the form of a tilted string-trimmer head that doubles as the unit's plastic guide wheel. As an edger, the user twists the motor housing, which positions the cutting head perpendicular to the earth rather than horizontal for trimming. Place the guide wheel, which is constructed into the plastic spindle head of the trimmer, along the edge of a sidewalk and work the cutting string along the edge. For edging, this system's use of a string rather than a rigid blade may not be the most clean-cutting method, but should suffice for small yards and garden needs. Unlike most edgers, the design of the YardStick requires the user to stand to the side of the edging path and move the unit along laterally, making directional control slightly more challenging than using a traditional, dedicated edger.

You can pick up a valve core removing tool at any auto parts store. The tool looks like a small screw driver with a slot in the business end. You put it down around the little thing you were flicking back and forth in side the valve stem which is called a valve stem core. Turn it counter clockwise to remove the core, being careful , if there is any pressure still in the tire, that it doesn't fly out and you loose it. Once you have it out, you can clean it and put it back in or take it to the auto parts store and get one like it and replace it.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] Up Close with table Saws
Hi My table saw has a miter gage that the bar is 90 degrees on either side. What this means is that the miter gage can be lifted straight up So when the part that you hold the stock to is pulled back past the edge of the table it falls down and the bar on the gage comes out of the groove. This limits how far back I can pull the stock. Do some tables have a gage that slides more into a groove type setup so the gage is held down inside the groove while you are moving it. Hope this makes sence. This is my first table saw so I don't know how others are set up. -Original Message- From: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 20, 2007 1:27 PM To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Up Close with table Saws thank you Dale.

The mitre gauge has a long bar which slides in a milled groove in the table top and it's fence can be pivoted around the vertical axis usually through a little more than 45 degrees left or right of right angles to the direction of the guide bar. The rip fence is a long bar which is oriented parallel to the blade and runs on rails one on the leading edge of the saw table the other on the rear edge of the table. It can be slid nearer or further from the blade usually to the right of the blade. It can be slid right off the end of the rails when desired to be removed. There are a variety of additional sleds and jigs and guides which can be applied to either the mitre gauge or the rip fence.I have a rather wonderful tennoning jig which runs in the mitre slot of the table saw and will hold a work piece vertically for cutting the cheek cuts. There are feather boards which can be wedged into the mitre slot for keeping stock held firmly against the rip fence as it is being pushed through. Generally the mitre gauge and the rip fence that comes with a saw are less than perfect but replacing them with higher quality can be very expensive. Recently someone here I just now forget who was looking for a replacement for their saw. I just saw a rather wonderful third party rip fence replacement called the AcuSquare available at the sawshop.com while at the woodworking show in London last week. This fence, in addition to being reliably adjustable to absolutely parallel and keeping that way is made of extruded aluminium with 'T' slots running it's length on the three exposed surfaces onto which jigs and/or hold-downs can either be secured or guided like sleds and onto which sacrificial fencing can easily and securely be attached. This device starts as a mere $260 Canadian I think but can be had with rails out to 50 inches for those with a suitably huge cabinet saw at of course suitably incremental prices. They have them for router tables and band saws too. There are also sliding tables which can be used on a table saw but that is an entirely different device and I don't have any experience with them at all. Hope this is helpful.

[BlindHandyMan] Hi impact nail driver.
When I was helping a friend re moddle his house we ran into some old plaster that we could not drive a nail into because it was just too hard and would just bend the nail. For these types of stubborn materials what we found was a gaget that is toob shaped and in shourt you put the nail in one side and about half way tward the back is a place to put a small charge that looks a bit like a bullet and it is filled with some type of explosive powder, it smells like gun powder so I assume that is what it is. I am really not sure but I would assume that this tool was designed for driving nails into concrete. Now to finish the description. Now that you have the nail in the one end and the charge in place you hit the other end with a hammer and it drives in the nail. This thing makes a hell of a bang. I would say that ear protection is not optional I did not use this tool myself but looking at how it works I would say that this tool very much can be used safely. However I would add that like most tools you can not afford to be careless with it. Because it really packs a punch. Have any of you ever used this tool that I am describing? -Original Message- From: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Boyce, Ray Sent: Tuesday, February 20, 2007 5:27 PM To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Subject: [BlindHandyMan] New Tool Review Hi Everyone GMC Website - http://www.gmcompany.com http://www.gmcompany.com GMC 18v Magnesium Strike Allnailer Review So you have a nail to drive... what are your options? Naturally, the first that probably comes to mind is the trusty old hammer (in its many variations). Next on the list is probably the pneumatic nail gun (and its many variations). But what comes after that? Suddenly the options become extremely limited. Well, Global Machinery Company (GMC) is attempting to add yet another nail driving tool variant to the list of possibilities with their new Magnesium Allnailer tool. It promises to offer all the ease of a power tool but without the restriction of expensive or hard to find nails for pneumatic tools. Plus, it's a world's first in terms of nailer design! Let's see how it works, and whether it does the job it is designed to do well. GMC Magnesium Allnailer When I first saw and heard about the Allnailer, I immediately thought... here we go, another cordless nail gun that is probably not powerful enough to drive anything more than brads into softwoods, like many other cordless nail guns and bradders flooding the market. When one purchases such a tool, they often end up having to buy a pneumatic nail gun and compressor because they discover the cordless nailers are just not up to scratch for most tasks. So what makes the Allnailer different to these other cordless nailers? Well, to begin with, the Allnailer functions a little differently to most nail guns. Instead of a single, rapid burst of air that is used to thrust a driver on conventional pneumatic nailers, the Allnailer uses somewhat of a continuous hammering action, much like you would experience with an air hammer chisel, or a jackhammer. So the nail is driven in with successive blows rather than one single burst of power. This alone offers benefits over other nail gun types which we will see later. But for now, lets take a look at the features of the Allnailer from the outside. Packaging and Contents The Allnailer ships in a plastic molded case. It offers great protection during shipping, and when transporting the tool around. As a result, the tool arrived free of dings, dents or other shipping damage. Inside the case you will find the Allnailer itself, two 18v batteries, and a user manual. Naturally, being a new tool in terms of design, every new owner should read the instruction guides. This nailer works differently to pneumatic nailers, and hence, requires different steps and technique to drive nails. The full color product manual will provide all the instruction you will need to operate the tool correctly and safely. The Power Packs + Charger The Allnailer ships with two 18v Nickel Cadmium (NiCad) cordless batteries. Each has a 1.5Ah capacity, which is probably average for a reasonably good quality power tool. The batteries connect to the bottom of the Allnailer handle via standard battery clips that are secure, but easy to remove when you need to switch a battery or charge one up. The batteries actually slide onto the bottom of the tool and then click in place to secure them. Naturally, a mains charger is included in the kit for restoring battery charge levels. In the marketing blurb it states the charger is a 1-hour rapid charger. I have been skeptical of these claims with other product reviews in the past because the batteries end up taking anywhere between 2 to 4 hours to charge. The 1 hour charger in this kit however does indeed seem to rate to the one hour mark. I timed the first charge cycle of the batteries and it came in at around 1 hour 15 minutes, but it could have

Many dryers don't use them any more but probably some still do. There is nothing more than a bronze sleeve bearing in the middle of a rubber roller around a bolt. For any number of reasons these can wear out so the roller becomes sloppy or it might rub and form a flat surface but either way you will get a clumping noise usually with every revolution of that roller. In my limited experience there are two rollers which support the front of the drum, at about the four thirty position and the 7 thirty position. To see them and repair them you have to remove the front of the dryer. It is a very long time since I have done this but there are a couple of considerations, one is the button which turns off the machine when the door is open. There is something of a frame behind the front panel with the bolts and rollers mounted to it. The front edge of the drum rests on these the rear of the drum has a post which spins through a bearing behind the drum and in the middle of the shield which supports the elements.The one I repaired had a plastic bearing so be careful if you remove the drum, this looked to me like it might be easily damaged. You can buy generic kits which are glides. These are a sort of domed shaped band of fairly thick material probably Teflon over a sort of felt all mounted onto a steel piece. You will have to drill some holes in the frame and mount the glides to support the front of the machine to support the front of the drum and it will run more quietly than it ever did. You may be able to buy the replacement rollers too, when I did it I didn't bother to wait, I was keeping the old thing running to save up for a new one early into my private clinic days.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] dremels?
I was looking at some air tools the other day and I found a tool that kind of reminds me of a dremmle. The air hose hooks to the back, and on the other end is a type of chuck that you might find on a dremmle. It is about 6 inches long or maybe a bit longer and is straight. Is this what you would call a grinder Looks like it could be a handy tool but I don't know the first thing about them.

You will need hardware, and I recommend something more lika a 5inch full range, i a single driver is used. Then the wiring and such will be easy. But the you are building a speaker, not conveniently buying one. Is there only one music store near you? try zzounds.com What city are you?

I don't know enough to know if both wires are similar underneath but have different jacks. One thing I forgot to mention earlier is that we need to control the volume from inside the nursery. That means either buying a speaker with a volume control on it or wiring one in. I'm thinking we want to avoid wiring one in.

Obviously you are not going to listen to high fidelity music or have a very loud sound. Around here most of the malls use 8 genson speakers probably in the $39 bracket. As far as the cable, is it coax, twisted pair or wire that would look like a lamp coard? If the latter I would suggest putting one end in a drill and twist the cable. It will prevent other harmonic problems.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] how do you loosen up a cassette tape?
Randy In the past what I have done if ff and rw does not seem to work. Take a pencile and with the cassette in front of you with the open end facing upward. Put the pencile in the right side hole and gently turn it clockwise.and then putting the pencile in the left hand side rotate the pencile counter clockwise. This may loosin it up unless of course the tape is jambed between the crack of the cassette. In that case I don't know what to tell you unless you have the nerve to loosen the screws just a little bit taking care not to turn them out too far. And then try to carefully un jam the tape. -Original Message- From: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Randy Tijerina Sent: Tuesday, February 13, 2007 3:45 PM To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Subject: [BlindHandyMan] how do you loosen up a cassette tape? hello friends. i am trying to save a cassette from becoming a memory. the tape seems to be very right around the reels and i want to save it. i don't know how to open up a cassette and i don't know what I will be doing for fear of damaging it. any suggestions?

One more thought on this topic. If it is a talking book cassette, put a rubber band around it and put it back in the box and they will take care of it. Doesn't sound like that is what you have but in either case that is what you do with a broken or jambed talking book cassette. -Original Message- From: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Tom Fowle Sent: Tuesday, February 13, 2007 6:42 PM To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] how do you loosen up a cassette tape?

RE: [BlindHandyMan] Race car project
OK that settles it. I was thinking about maybe doing this project but wasn't absolutely set on weather I would do it or not. But looks like the gauntlet has been thrown down. I don't have anywhere inside out of the cold to do this so it will not really get started until. It is comfortable enough to do it out side. Now my first order of business is to find a shell to plant this motor into. I think I will stick to the closest possible match. Since it is coming out of a GMC Jimmy I might settle on either a Chevy s10 or better yet if I can find a GMC s15 pickup. The Chevy s10's are much more abundant up here than the GMC s15. Tomorrow my wife and I are going to look at an s15 for $500.00 It has a 2.5 4 cylinder and I would rather have the 4.3 in it but if that little 2.5 runs good I will leave well enough alone and look for some thing else. I will keep you all posted. The parts of the project that I solicit help on I will not be ashamed to fess up to.

My experience with that particular drive package is extremely limited. The best answer I can give you is check with one of your local dismantlers and have them look it up in there interchange software. My El Camino started it's life with the 2.8 version of that same motor but by the time it came to me there was a huge hole in the side of the block where #3 piston had attempted an escape and the entire assembly including the trans ended up in the scrap trailer. No matter what direction you choose here are some things to consider. 1. Make sure that the motor runs well before you install it. This will save you a lot of grief and time on the back end of your project. 2. Going from truck to SUV or passenger car it may be necessary to change external components such as oil-pans exhaust manifolds, alternator, power steering and air conditioning mount brackets. You may also end up making or modifying motor mounts. 3. We haven't even began to discuss computer controls, linkages or cooling system mods. This list can serve as a pretty good resource. Remember this is where I learned the easy way to cut a 14-inch diameter whole in my hood and got some really good fiber-glass 101 information. Keep me posted on your progress.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] El Camino
Hay Larry You know that is a tough act to follow. The project I am going to under take is going to look like first grade finger painting next to your professional artwork, so to speak. Just had to rib you a bit. Wel we all have to start some where. Actually your post was very inspiring. Now that I have a real mechanics rolling tool box with 17 drawrs and plenty of room for tools I will have to start filling it up and getting to work. Any donations would be appreciated. Ha Ha I have a very good start on basic hand tools and an air impact. So I am off to a good start. Hope to see you in Texas.

He showed up on my doorstep with a whole bunch of beer and a 1980 Chevrolet El Camino. The entire time Stan was here I continually chided him about his car. You know stuff like if I feed it and promise to take care of it can I keep it? At the end of his visit with me he headed out to visit the north rim of the Grand Canyon and the like. Well one evening I was having dinner and I heard this terrible noise in my driveway. Stan walked through my back-door, threw the keys down on my counter and said there is your ing El Camino. It seems that he had blown something serious in the motor on his trip and he was ready to give it up. Long story short, I got him in to a rental car the next day so that he could continue his vacation. That is when the fun started for me. I pulled out the 6-cylinder motor and went to work. To-day the El Camino features a 383-CID stroker motor reworked 4LE80 automatic overdrive trans, 4.11 posit rack rear 4-wheel disk brakes, air ride suspension and a whole bunch more stuff we can talk about on a project by project basis. The outside is done in a poli-chromatic paint that looks jet black in normal sunlight, a deep black cherry under artificial lighting and a deep metallic burgundy under a variety of other lighting conditions. The interior is done in Burgundy Leather with brushed titanium accents on the dash and gage cluster. The subject line says race car project but the poor baby can't make it's mind if it is an outlaw street racer, or a hotrod power tooer car. I would like very much to bring it to the next Blind handy man convention in Texas so you guys can derive some of the fun and excitement from it that I did in building it. We can sit on the tailgate and drink beer or I can get you a 12 second ride down whatever the main street is in front of the hotel. Oh did I mention it is capable of 125-MPH in 12.55 seconds? Damn... I love this stuff.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] Frozen car hood
Otis Here are a couple of things to consider. If this is an older car and you are not too conserned about the finnish of the paint I would go around the front and the sides and just give it a good pop with the side of your fist. This should break up the ice. If you have time you could go out with a hair drier and warm it up. My next question would be do you need to open the hood to jump the car or will it start and you need to check ththe oil? If it will start, just run it until. The hood warms up. Once you get it open I would spray the latch with some thing that is known to repel moisture. Do not use lock deicer or any such thing that has alcohol in it. Maybe some one els has a sugjestion for lubricant. I am thinking some thing like silicon. Or the like. IF all else fails wait until spring and I asure you it will open just fine. -Original Message- From: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Otis Blue Sent: Friday, February 09, 2007 11:43 AM To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Frozen car hood Hi everyone, Well I just ran into a problem with my car.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] Frozen car hood
As I said spray the latch mechanism with some lubricant and also make sure you spray the cable where it comes out of the casing to try to get the lubricant down inside the cable. Yu might want to do this several times over the next few days . once you have sprayed it good,gently work the handle back and forth several times to make sure the spray lubricant gets worked in good to the entire mechanism.
