RE: [BlindHandyMan] Cooking with Gloves - Was: Using Gas Grill!

Hello All, There is a product available through LSS and maybe other sources - it is called a cool touch oven rack guard and it prevents burns to the forearms specially when the gloves don’t cover the forearms. The product is made of a heat resistant fabric called Nomex and it is safe up to

[BlindHandyMan] Foaming drain cleaner

Aloha all, Our bathtub is running slow and my husband brought home a product made by drano. It's a foaming product. The bottle looks very strange. It is split into two parts but the mouth of the bottle is open to both halves of the bottle so that when pouring it, the liquid will mix together.

[BlindHandyMan] Reliable Compass

Hi all, I realize this topic has been discussed before and I did look in the archives before sending this message but found the number of messages on the topic to be a bit daunting. I'd simply like to know if anyone is using a Braille compass that works reliably for them. I tried the

[BlindHandyMan] Pipe cleaners

I found out that most household cleaners cause more problems at times than the cure. See if the tub trap has a plug or cap to clean out the trap. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Reliable Compass

I have used a talking compass, a braille compass, as well as a Trekker/maestro. The talking compass was accurate as long as the battery was charged and the temperature outside was relatively warm. The braille compass I liked better because no matter what the temperature was outside, it was

RE: [BlindHandyMan] Reliable Compass

Ed: My take on this is that a compass is something you use when you'are perhaps having a problem, like say being lost in bad weather. So, simple is good. Yes, a GPS unit can give you a direction of travel, but moving around when you're already lost or unfamiliar with the environment is not such

[BlindHandyMan] old refrigerator

Well, the old refrigerator that I am recycling through the ppl program almost totally let me down. They are picking it up tomorrow morning. There was a message on my answering machine that it must be plugged in and running. It was running when it was moved outside so I plugged it in tonight and

Re: [BlindHandyMan] old refrigerator

I have no idea. Hope to be able to ask tomorrow. Most recycle places that I know of strip down the product and salvage everything that they can. It does not make sense why it must be in working order. -- From: Betsy Whitney, Dolphin Press

[BlindHandyMan] advice putting up a fence

Hi all, Ok, sorry to change horses mid stream, but, I decided to go with a chain link fence. Lots more expensive, but, I feel it will help the property value stay up. Got it all sussed out, except for one thing. Part of the fence will be going up an incline. I read something on the lowes url
