Lenny,
Notice carefully if JAWS talks only out of one chanel or the other. I'd bet
it talks only through either right or left sides and that the music is
either a real stereo file or comes through both chanels.
if this is the case, then the problem is that one connection on either the

Hi Jewel,
I actually think the plastic jar may be more durable than glass as it won't
shatter from that car going over the bricks. If it's burried then the UV

But I do worry about water getting in the jar, I'd use some silicon
Hi all,
A drip has developed at a place where two gutters on my roof come together
at a right angle. The water drips onto a sidewalk and freezes when the
weather gets cold enough. This presents a real hazard to people walking
down the sidewalk. My problem is that the weather has been

Ed,
You can get a can of wet dry sealer like they use on roofs. I think it will go
on down to 40 degrees. Just like its name says it can go on wet or dry. Just
use a putty knife to spread it out.
It's been a long time since I had to check on cold weather sealers so you may
do well to ask

Hey guys,
The wet bar is in and working. I am having a problem with the last layer of
glaze I put in. It is sticky and I don't know what to do to get rid of the
stickyness. Would mineral spirits or some hting like that help get rid of the
stickyness? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What is the solvent? If it is petroleum based then mineral spirits will make
the problem worse. The solvent needs to evaporate, perhaps you got it on a
little too thick. Old product will often do this too.

That probably is what I mean. :) I asked someone else how to spell it and he
probably assumed I meant the instrument, not the fireplace part. I just
assumed that was what it was really called. I always thought people were
saying something more like flu. Communication can fail so easily. :)
It is a clear glaze that hardens as it dries. If I am not mistaken it becomes
like an epoxy.

The part that opens and closes is actually the damper. The flue, and I was
spelling it wrong too, but the flue is the liner to the chimney.
Probably more information than anyone wanted to know but I specialize in

I've never seen a key for one either but then too, I haven't done much work on

That is the flu damper spelled f l u. It is to let the smoke out. Often it is a

operate. This is assuming a wood burning fireplace. All it usually does is
raise and lower a sort of trap door.

Is it a two part, that is, are you supposed to add a hardener before you apply

OK!
That is probably an epoxy. You probably need a little more hardener than you
put in, it probably wants more heat. These cure by chemical reaction rather
than dry. The optimal temperature is about 70F but you can make them cure
cooler by adding a little more hardener. In really warm weather
I Like useless trivia. :-)
So, I guess the thing I am talking about is used to move the damper. There
is an opening for it on the outside of the fireplace and something that

Hi William.
You could fill an entire library with books written about antennas. What
you describe is known as a loop antenna. However the length you had would
have been very good for frequencies from 10 to 50 kHz, and the efficiency
would fall off at higher frequencies. Also the orientation
