Just curious, you don't mean those little square adaptors? How to tell
between an adaptor and a transformer?
What changes to signal should I expect?

Good morning,
I need to replace the door knob set on our door that is between our garage
and family room. However, there is a part on it that is unlike other doors
in my house and I'd like to know if there is a particular name for this
prior to calling around and seeing where I can obtain it. Most
Nancy,
I don't remember if you got an answer to your porch swing question.
I think you were explaining that you would have two uprights attached to
the end of your porch. It sounded like the porch may be raised and you
were thinking that the lower end of the uprights would be attached below

I would absolutely not have anything to do with taking the tak apart
in an enclosed space. It undoubtedly has old oil and/or vapors in it
and either a torch or a saw could set it off very easilly. Wrong way to get rid
of it as remainder of home could be endangered as it
left too quickly.

If it has an F connector and two screws like for twin lead, or some hav an
actual chunk of twin lead comming out with lugs, then it's what you need.
It could readilly be called an adaptor. The transformerness is burried and
you can't identify anything that looks like a transformer.

That's referred to as a drive in bolt. Every new doorknob set I have ever
seen is arranged for both. You can install the bolt with two screws or
remove the plate and drive it in with a mallet.

Hi Tom,
I do have one of these. But I thought there was more of a *transformer
type thing to obtain.
So you say the transformer is not apparant? It's about 3/4 the size of
the old zZippo lighters. that's why I didn't think of it as one.
I can't say I know much about transformers. Thanks for the
Spiro
When most of us think of Transformers, we imagine
huge iron cored monsters with heavy wires.
Since this beastie works at very high frequencies, it needs no iron core.
Probably the actual transformer in the thing you have looks
like a tiny doughnut with very fine wires wrapped round it.

About a week ago, I borrowed a cement mixer from Breeze, another Blind

the one I rented in the past. However, it was much cheaper, only cost me

I didn't think of the frequency, makes sense. Thanks Tom, really.

Tom,
There are several reasons for the wooden steps. Firstly, even though I
have hauled insane amounts of cement, gravel, blocks and such up the
stairs, I'd rather not haul more than is necessary. Two steps, 42 inches
wide,, 10 inches deep, and 8 inches high, if I just poured them as a

Thanks for the thorough reply, I assume you've some way of protecting the
risers for the stepps from water going by to the drain.
Yeah the triangular spikes sound like the deal.
Of course you'll get more quality use time from the house fixed up
than from memories of yet another crazy trip!
Dan, a buddy indeed. Anybody who'll loan you a diamond blade is somebody whose
friendship you should cherish. BTW, how are you keeping water flowing while
you're cutting. Also, I assume you have a worm gear driven circ saw, is that
right?

Dan,
After all this with cement and blocks, why wooden steps, I assume they'll be
out doors, why not cement ones. Can't be that hard to form those up after
all the huge labors you've done.
Seems like the 4x4 boxes should have had J bolts on them

Wow, that's really surprising, maybe there have been improvements in how those
blades are made since I was involved with them.
When we rented those, we'd actually measure them with a sort of micrometer, and
then remeasure when the blade was returned and charge accordingly.

Bill,
Nope, I do not have a worm drive saw, and my buddy assured me I didn't
need water on the blade. I was surprised by that but it is his blade. I
debated just having Teresa hold a light spray from the hose on the blade
while I cut, but the blade didn't seem to get very hot going through a
Don't give it a second thought. You will never pull that out of the cement.

I have been using a diamond blade in an old circ saw (not a worm drive) much of
the summer. The blade cost 28 bucks it is probably available cheaper. It does
kick up the dust and certainly a water spitting sliding concrete saw is
preferable but these blades work well. A mask is probably advised
