a blind trick i learned about laying out a line with a string is not to
start the string at the corner of your house but to run the string
starting from a point along the wall as far back as you can.

are there talking multi meters to be had?

i bought one a few months ago.
not exactly blind friendly, but you can memorize the key strokes to do
what you need in the menus,
but i hardly change the factory settings.
no automatic recording levels so you have to be careful not to over
modulate.
sound quality is super excellent.

i've got some chairs with a simple round seat.

if the old is peeling, even a little strip it like i said and use the mat
or if you want a real nice job then put a layer of 1/4 inch underlayment
plywood right over the old.

too bad to rip up oldgood condition flooring, but it is usually best.
there is a
underlayment matting you can use if the exposed flooring is messed up.
take the extra time to remove the toilet and vanity.

hey thanks for all the general advice.
everyone should take care when using any tools.
i think machines such as this are designed to minimize whipping out
chuncks of debris but i have never seen one, that is why i wanted to know
if anyone has used one.
i find it very sad that even on this list
first determine if it is a hardware or software modem. hardware
modems have jumpers which can be set to specific interupts and
com port settings. software modems are set by system cmos and
windows.
you will need a sighted reader or an opticon and go to the pnp
section of the system cmos. see if
a draw knife is a really handy old fashioned hand tool that is really
inexpensive and could do this job very well. it looks like a letter u,
with handles on the uprights and a blade along the trough.
you pull the handles towards you. i think noah used it to make the ark.
remember to knock out
it is so cheap, easy and blind friendly to change a socket or even the
entire light fixture, that if it is curroded, just get another one.

i bought a fiberglass door about a year ago. installed it myself and am
