Re: [BlindHandyMan] skunk spray
Here is the best spray I located. It was, quick to get rid of the smell. The only problem is it may or may not fade cloth. It does a good job of animals, cement and clothes. 1 16 ounce bottle Peroxide 1 small box of baking soda 2 tablespoons of liquid soap. (lemon if you have it) 1 gallon of water. Mix and use immediately. do not cap or save. - Original Message - From: Lenny McHugh To: bhm Sent: Monday, August 30, 2010 7:06 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] skunk spray What is the best way to clean up a skunk spray and can clothing be cleaned? I just got a call from my daughter her husband got sprayed this morning taking out the trash. The skunk was along side of his porch, this is in the middle of town. Anyway he changed his clothes but had to go to work with his new fragrance. He works in a factory that has a very strict point system. If you are late, call off you get some points and ten points in a year you are fired. Anyway my daughter is very upset with the odor in her home. --- Please visit my home page, it is motivational, educational, inspirational with a touch of humor.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] skunk spray
I am one that swears by it. For I use it on my dog guide when we first moved to the country and he got his first and last encounter with a skunk. Plus I use it on my cement pad a couple times. Works very well and quick - Original Message - From: Joy Cyr To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, August 30, 2010 8:19 AM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] skunk spray When my dog got sprayed my vet recommended a mixture of two cups hydrogen peroxide (the regular three percent, not the one used for bleaching), a half cup of baking soda, and two tablespoons of dish soap. Unfortunately I got this invaluable advice the next morning since the little dear had the bad taste to get sprayed in the middle of the night, however, I have spoken with many people who used a version of this since and they swear by it. I don't see why it couldn't be applied to clothing or anything else that was touched by the spray. My reflex was to grab for the baking soda which did take care of the bit that had dripped on the carpet. However, even better I have since discovered Arm Hammer's Washing Soda! It isn't the same as baking soda, and its getting harder to find but is often available in the laundry section of the store. Its a large box of powder and there is absolutely nothing like it for dealing with unpleasant odours. You can use it in many different ways, not just in the washer. It eats protein so can't be used on wool that's the only thing to be aware of when using it. A few vital boxes helped me get through a very bad (long) cat illness a year or so ago when he wasn't able to control his bladder, ... and if you've smelt cat urine then you can appreciate how special Washing Soda really is! Best of luck to your daughter, ... not an ideal way to start the week!

Re: [BlindHandyMan] water filter
Why not get a whole house filter. I have callegan filters. About $25 at Sears. Easy to install, just cut the pipe and use two 3/4 inch adapters. The reason I like the calegan filter is the air and shut off valve on the filter. - Original Message - From: Lenny McHugh To: bhm Sent: Wednesday, September 01, 2010 10:30 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] water filter I am thinking about installing a water filter. Although we are on municipal water it sometimes is not clear and often has a strong chlorine smell. The new refrigerator that will be delivered tomorrow has a water filter installed. I have been thinking about placing one in the basement under the kitchen sink area. then run the lines to the cold water and for the ice maker. Any suggestions on what kind to install. Doing a search there is only about 3 million hits to read. I called some big box stores and they have no real great suggestions. They have sediment filters starting for $35 and on the net I found systems for several thousand dollars. --- Please visit my home page, it is motivational, educational, inspirational with a touch of humor.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] porch light
You're right. - Original Message - From: Brice Mijares To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, September 03, 2010 10:28 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] porch light The light bulb on our front porch went out. Question; being that it has some kind of censor that turns the light on once it gets dark and turns off in the morning when it gets light, is it a special light bulb? My wife thinks so, but I don't think so. I think it'll takes any light bulb providing it fits in the fixture. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
Re: [BlindHandyMan] front porch light
Usually when turning on the light the sensor will kick on and turn off after a few minutes, unless you hit the switch twice quickly, and that will keep the light on until you turn off the switch. RJ - Original Message - From: Brice Mijares To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, September 04, 2010 9:36 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] front porch light Yesterday we pick up the correct light bulb for the front porch. I believe it was 40 watts as was suggested by the service a tenant. Came home and swamp them out. Turned the switch on and the light came on. This puzzled me as the censor should have known it was light out so the light shouldn't have came on. So we turned the switch off and turned it back on when it got dark. When my wife gets up it will be light and I'll have her check it to see if the light went off on it's own as it should have. I hope the censor didn't go bad. I can't see both the bulb and the censor going bad at the same time. So I'm perplexed at the moment. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
