Re: [BlindHandyMan] Using Gas Grill!
with the grids made of cast iron, aren't they going to rust? sorry for the odd question.

Sometimes just as a backing to hold burgers while I slide a spatula under, helps keep the big thick burgers I make from falling apart when flipping. It is also useful to turn an entire row of wieners or those good hot sausages in a single motion. I never concern myself with flare-up, I rather like the singe flavour and am glad to see the fat burning off. We like good thick cut pork chops, sirloin or t-bone steak. I haven't done kabobs for a very long time now but often think of it. Mine has a warming rack about 5 inches above the main grill surface, I like to toast buns on it or to make garlicky or cheese bread to go with what ever else is cooking. Often we wrap potatoes in foil and roast them too, starting them before the meet. You can't hardly get it wrong, the potatoes will take a lot of cooking and still taste fine. I generally start my barbecue with the lid closed but I don't leave the gas run long if it doesn't start nearly immediately. I shut the gas off, wait a moment and start again. Even a slight breeze can keep the gas from igniting. Although this grill continues to start readily it is usually the starter which fails first. My last one quit working within a year. I kept loosing those little igniter lighters so for seven or ten years I started it with my plumbers torch. Drove Janet crazy! There isn't really any difference between a barbecue and a gas range. Keeping the propane bottles full is a pain, you might consider direct connection to natural gas if you have gas to your home. I have two gas bottles and keep one spare full all of the time because it isn't always convenient to get a ride to a filling station. This time I also bought a barbecue with a side burner. Don't use it often but occasionally the electricity fails here and Janet is a lot easier to get along with if she gets her tea in the morning. She is not confident with gas or maybe she just likes me to think that so she isn't expected to use it. She certainly did use it in England and that was a primitive range.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] home owner insurance
I also have to add to this Jennifer and it is an unpleasant topic. Aside from what Dale has mentioned, you need to find out why your spouse is not motivated to address the issues and he needs to understand that without insurance, the entire family is at risk. If you have a mortgage on the property, it is likely one of the requirements is that appropriate homeowners insurance be maintained. If you cannot get him to understand these issues, you may need to seek outside assistance such as a counselor etc. He needs to understand that this is a team effort and his participation is necessary and desired for success of obtaining insurance. I wish you luck, you do have some issues ahead of you. I agree with Dale however, that you do need to determine what is the cause of these problems with the house as well.
Re: [BlindHandyMan] home owner insurance
Hi Jen, Another question I have is if you own or rent the house you currently live in. If you own, is it paid off, and if so, what's the likelihood that you can obtain a renovation loan, or possibly go through HUD, Fanny May or Freddy Mac to see if you qualify for a disbursement. From what Claudia has told me, it seems that HUD has quite a line up for such benefits, so you may have to go without insurance for a few months while the process gets approved, but usually that isn't a problem unless you go more than a few years without insurance. The other question I have is why was there a claim for flooding twice in the last year? Were these two problems related, or were they dealing with two separate issues that may have been foreseen? Not accusing or anything, I'm just curious is all. If we can be of any other help, don't hesitate to ask. Victor

Jennifer, Is money a motivator for your husband? I believe you have a mortgage on your home. Mortgage companies won't allow you to go without insurance. Thus, if you can't get your own insurance, the mortgage company will sell you insurance and you won't be happy with how much they will charge you either. So, you are either going to have to spend some money on repairs, or you are going to spend money on very expensive insurance. Sorry to be a downer. -- Blue skies.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] home owner insurance
yeah, that claim is going to cost you more in the long run now. if you don't want to spend the money to fix the house, find an insurance broker, they might be able to find a company to insure you, the way it is, but your not going to like the price. If you show your current insurance company your working on the house, and give them a schedule of when the work will be done, they might consider doing a month to month thing.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Cooking with Gloves - Was: Using Gas Grill!
Their not cheap at 20 bucks each and that's not for a set either. Consumer Reports they do what they say they do but it could give some folks a false sense of security. The amount of time they can protect you is limited and variable depending on the conditions. I use mine for taking things out of the oven or toaster oven or microwave. On the grill, if it's to hot for me to put my hands over it, I just turn off the burners. Once the source is quelled, you can use your fingers to touch the meat and see what's going on.. Example: last night I had 5 really nice pork chops on the grill. Two of them were almost twice as thick as the remaining three. I suppose that's because they came from two separate packages. I store them in Ziploc freezer bags. My wife insists I cook to close to the forward edge. I do but that way I don't have to put my hands directly over the heat. She was going to turn the chops over for me as I was doing something else and put the two larger chops over the burners. When I went to check to see if they were finished, I didn't know she had moved the two chops and got a surprise when I touched the cast-iron cooking surface. I did it real quick and did not get burned. She said oh sorry! I forgot to tell you I moved the two chops. I picked up my double spatchula and flipped them over to check things out. They all were done and I took them off the grill with the double spatchula. It's just a matter of what your use to using.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] home owner insurance
You've got a tough nut to crack. It's not like it use to be when all it took was a phone call and a check in the mail. Your policy came back ready to go. Just sign it and return it in the pre paid envelope. Those days are long gone. The insurance industry took a heavy pounding with some pretty nasty hurricanes in Texas and in Orleans. That was the catalyst to change the industry forever. Today they come out and inspect the pre covered status of the home to protect themselves from home owners who then later on say they had their roof leaking like a waterfall in this last storm and want the home owner's insurance to cover it. To many people tried it and got dropped. I doubt you'll get insurance or if you do, it'll be conditional. They'll give you a list of what you need to fix prior to insurance approval. You'll then pay higher premiums and can be asked to put a security deposit down with the company. Once they see that the cause of the disrepair is neglect, they won't be to quick to jump to help you believing your a scammer or a deadbeat who won't keep up the payments. The other thing you need to be concerned with is, if the county you live in decides your place is a public nucence, they can court order you to fix it or they will and you'll get the bill. Trust me, you don't want that to happen. If your husband is unwilling to take care of a house, then perhaps your best option is to sell the house and move into an apartment. Of course, if your house isn't paid for yet, that may be the preventing factor. In other words, your husband will have make the repairs or pay somebody to do it for him. If the bank still owns your house, they too can fix the house and give you the bill. You'll pay it back plus interest. Home owners insurance is the least of your problems. If you live in a community with a home owners association, they can fine you until the job gets done and those fines can get pretty stiff. They could even take the house away if they have to force you to fix it. In short, you're in a world of the brown stuff. I know what I'm talking about because I am the president of our home owners association and have to had dealt with stuff like that in the past.

It will not help me to get advice that does not take in the full picture. My home owner's insurance is about to be canceled. Essentially this is based on our not keeping our home in good repair. My husband is in total denial about it being our fault, but he is wrong. So my two questions are how do I get insurance on a house when I have had two water damage claims in the last year, and wat are the main things to try and get looking decent before the inspection. I do mean essential too. My yard is over grown and I have holes in my walls and ceilings. I do not know how to make my husband care enough about where we live to be better about this. My hope is that now that the kids are all in school I will be able to do some of these things myself. It has just become urgent because I have got to get someone in here to inspect and approve us for new insurance. I am sorry I am not sounding to optimistic here, but I just had another big fight with my husband about the roof and other needed repairs. I am feeling a little to drained to sound positive.

I prefer to keep the heat even so don't like to turn off or down the gas and that isn't really an option over charcoal.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] Cooking with Gloves - Was: Using Gas Grill!
Hi Dale, I agree with you on the spatula. I have not found a double spatula which I thought was handy to use so I just use my old trusty commercial spatula I have had for about 40 years. (LOL) I think I will look into the Grill Glove as they (it) seems to be what I want. The Ov Glove is really nice - so long as whatever you are touching is *NOT* wet. I have a couple of sets of those long gloves and some are better than others. I threw away one set because, while they covered my forearms, they were so thin that picking up anything hot and heavy would go right through them before you could get to the top of the stove to set it down. I agree that using a towel is not a real good idea. I am always afraid that the blamed thing will get caught on something and I will drop the hot pan and probably break the glass oven door. That would be a real problem when the Boss found out I'll tell you.

Even with a glove I generally probe first with the spatula or fork out of habit I suppose. Each to his own of course. - Original Message - From: Alan Paganelli To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, August 31, 2010 10:30 AM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Cooking with Gloves - Was: Using Gas Grill! Their not cheap at 20 bucks each and that's not for a set either. Consumer Reports they do what they say they do but it could give some folks a false sense of security. The amount of time they can protect you is limited and variable depending on the conditions. I use mine for taking things out of the oven or toaster oven or microwave. On the grill, if it's to hot for me to put my hands over it, I just turn off the burners. Once the source is quelled, you can use your fingers to touch the meat and see what's going on.. Example: last night I had 5 really nice pork chops on the grill. Two of them were almost twice as thick as the remaining three. I suppose that's because they came from two separate packages. I store them in Ziploc freezer bags. My wife insists I cook to close to the forward edge. I do but that way I don't have to put my hands directly over the heat. She was going to turn the chops over for me as I was doing something else and put the two larger chops over the burners. When I went to check to see if they were finished, I didn't know she had moved the two chops and got a surprise when I touched the cast-iron cooking surface. I did it real quick and did not get burned. She said oh sorry! I forgot to tell you I moved the two chops. I picked up my double spatchula and flipped them over to check things out. They all were done and I took them off the grill with the double spatchula. It's just a matter of what your use to using.

I do this every time I'm going to be away from the computer more than a couple of days. Then when you are ready to resume receiving mail, go back to the same check boxes and make the necessary changes and save the settings. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Re: [BlindHandyMan] home owner insurance
especially if he signed the contract with the insurance company. There will be stipulations in the contract. They expect folks to follow them as folks expect the insurance company to follow them. And for those who say well, the insurance company doesn't always I say and they have bigger lawyers than we do also. If you think it is at all possible that you are being *done *wrong your state should have an insurance commissioner who addresses these things. On Tue, 31 Aug 2010, Scott Howell wrote: I also have to add to this Jennifer and it is an unpleasant topic. Aside from what Dale has mentioned, you need to find out why your spouse is not motivated to address the issues and he needs to understand that without insurance, the entire family is at risk. If you have a mortgage on the property, it is likely one of the requirements is that appropriate homeowners insurance be maintained. If you cannot get him to understand these issues, you may need to seek outside assistance such as a counselor etc. He needs to understand that this is a team effort and his participation is necessary and desired for success of obtaining insurance. I wish you luck, you do have some issues ahead of you. I agree with Dale however, that you do need to determine what is the cause of these problems with the house as well.
[BlindHandyMan] Belt driven bicycles
Aloha all, Some friends of ours are overseas and wrote that they bought a bicycle with a rubber belt instead of a chain. Another person responded that these kind of belts have been used in motorcycles for awhile, but are also appearing in the bicycle world. This may be old news to some of you, but it seem cool to me that they won't rust or need lubrication. Betsy Teamwork: Together we achieve the extraordinary.
