RE: [BlindHandyMan] electric fence
Hi Hank, I have two different electric fence controllers. Which kind of controller do you have? I will copy below 7 common sins of fence controller installations listed off the web and a link to same page with very good instructions for troubleshooting. There are of course different kinds of fence controllers and installations. Sounds that you tested the controller's terminals and it has output there but along the fence there is no electrical charge that you can detect? Is this true? Here is the web info, good success. THE SEVEN SINS OF FENCE CONTROLLER INSTALLATIONS 1. An insufficient ground system for the fence controller. (Refer to Step 2 of the installation instructions.) 2. Stray voltage may occur when the fence controller ground system is located within 50 ft. of a utility ground, buried water pipe, or buried telephone wire. (Refer to Step 2 of the installation instructions and Radio Interference Section.) 3. Inadequately insulated lead-out wire and jumper wires (wire must be insulated to 20,000V minimum). (Refer to Step 1 of the installation instructions.) 4. The ground wire is not adequately insulated and is located 20 ft. or more from fence controller. (Refer to Step 2 of the installation instructions.) 5. Inferior connections and splices of the fence wire, ground wire, lead-out wire, and jumper wires. (Refer to Step 3 of the installation instructions.) 6. Substandard fence wire insulation: cracked insulators, poor quality insulators, water hose, plastic tubing, or the use of wood posts without insulators. (Refer to Step 3 of the installation instructions.) 7. The fence controller is underpowered for the condition of the fence being energized (i.e., rain, snow, ice, vegetation, rusty wire, and length of fence).

[BlindHandyMan] All bungged up!
Hi, Looking for suggestions. I have a roller which you fill with water or sand for adding weight to roll out things like the lawn. I released the bung and tried to wiggle it out so I could get the water out of it in an effort to preserve it's round shape for next year. The rubber bung is a round rubber plug with a washer on each side and a bolt which runs through the middle and a wingnut so, when you tighten the wingnut it pulls the two washers together which thickens the rubber and it fits water tightly in the hole in the side of the drum. Well it wouldn't come out! I wiggled and jiggled and all it wanted to do was go in which, if it does, I will never again retrieve. This would not worry me all that much if a replacement was easily available but in the past, every time I go to my hardware store they inform me they are right out of stock as if they had just sold the last one minutes before my arrival. Not only that but they are expecting more on the next truck on Tuesday but without fail, some other needy bungger seems to get there before me but I digress. So, I put a small prybar on the wingnut musing as I tried wiggling the little beggar that pulling on the nut was pulling on the bolt which would be pulling on the washer inside the drum which would be expanding the stopper but I did it anyway. I was mistaken though, the wingnut was one of those pressed metal things and it decided to slide off of the threads instead, a consequence I had not anticipated. The wingnut now reposes probably in my neighbours yard somewhere over my shed where he will doubtless find it in the spring and wonder which of his devices it had been liberated from. I did grab the bolt with a small pair of channel locks so, in some way I still have hold of the rubber stopper and bolt and at least the inner washer and I have tried, with this hold to jiggle the rubber out of that hole including smearing Vaseline over it but, the fit seems to remain too tight. The hole appears to be maybe an inch and the bolt only a little longer than required but I am thinking I won't get it out of there unless I just melt it or burn it with a torch which really isn't useful, might as well leave it to rattle about inside there. Anyway, I thought I would put it out there on the list in case someone has; Either an idea to try or a source for bungs.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] electric fence
In spite of having a well constructed electric fence which follows, in most part, all the rules, I do have my periodic battles with it. I was very interested to read here that using plastic hose pipe as an insulating barrier may not be the best idea in the world. There are a few places throughout my fence line where the use of plastic hose was the only thing I could think of to separate the hot wire from metal standards, such as when the wire was actually passing through the groove on the top of a steel Waratah. There is an insulator especially made for situations such as this which is a plastic tube containing a metal strip which one can thread onto the wire, but, if the wire has any sort of a kink in it, they will get caught and stuck as they are a very tight fit, even on a completely straight wire. A short will often develop after a gale when stray bits of flying detritus become entangled around the hot and cold wires, but I can't say that the plastic hose pipe has had any detrimental affect on the operation of the fence. Incidentally, I heard part of a news item the other night that spoke of the invention by of course, an innovative Kiwi farmer, of an unshortable electric fence, but, unfortunately, I did not catch the details.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] All bungged up!
Dale, For some reason a cork screw comes to mind.. I used one last weekend that had a couple of arms that stayed up until the screw was all the way in than were pried down against the neck of the bottle which reuslted in the cork being raised. The bung rim may not be right for this style, but maymaybe the old bolt could be pushed in and a regular corkscrew screwedd into the rubber and hopefully result on the pull being distrbuted throughout the cork or plug So it could be just pulled out. Of course next time a new bolt would be nedded and maybe not shove the thing in as far..

[BlindHandyMan] all bunged up
Dear Dale: You might try heating up the metal around the whole, which in turn will heat the rubber and hopefully, you will get a softer rubber plug which will yield to your pressure to remove it. I have a couple of rubber plugs which are around one inch in diameter, which were used in boats which I owned in the past. Those plugs should work well for this application, if I understand how it is set up. Yours Truly, Clifford Wilson [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[BlindHandyMan] Scratched Glass repair
Aloha all, My friend has one of those lamps with a large round magnifying glass in the center with a tube-like light that goes around the outside of the glass. Somehow she has managed to scratch the magnifying glass. Any ideas about smoothing out the scratch? Thanks... Betsy

I can't tell if you need a laxitiv or some kaopectate sorry I couldn't resist I think I ate too much turkey the last few dayssorry again blind humor - Original Message - From: Dale Leavens To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, November 26, 2006 3:43 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] All bungged up! Hi, Looking for suggestions. I have a roller which you fill with water or sand for adding weight to roll out things like the lawn. I released the bung and tried to wiggle it out so I could get the water out of it in an effort to preserve it's round shape for next year. The rubber bung is a round rubber plug with a washer on each side and a bolt which runs through the middle and a wingnut so, when you tighten the wingnut it pulls the two washers together which thickens the rubber and it fits water tightly in the hole in the side of the drum. Well it wouldn't come out! I wiggled and jiggled and all it wanted to do was go in which, if it does, I will never again retrieve. This would not worry me all that much if a replacement was easily available but in the past, every time I go to my hardware store they inform me they are right out of stock as if they had just sold the last one minutes before my arrival. Not only that but they are expecting more on the next truck on Tuesday but without fail, some other needy bungger seems to get there before me but I digress. So, I put a small prybar on the wingnut musing as I tried wiggling the little beggar that pulling on the nut was pulling on the bolt which would be pulling on the washer inside the drum which would be expanding the stopper but I did it anyway. I was mistaken though, the wingnut was one of those pressed metal things and it decided to slide off of the threads instead, a consequence I had not anticipated. The wingnut now reposes probably in my neighbours yard somewhere over my shed where he will doubtless find it in the spring and wonder which of his devices it had been liberated from. I did grab the bolt with a small pair of channel locks so, in some way I still have hold of the rubber stopper and bolt and at least the inner washer and I have tried, with this hold to jiggle the rubber out of that hole including smearing Vaseline over it but, the fit seems to remain too tight. The hole appears to be maybe an inch and the bolt only a little longer than required but I am thinking I won't get it out of there unless I just melt it or burn it with a torch which really isn't useful, might as well leave it to rattle about inside there. Anyway, I thought I would put it out there on the list in case someone has; Either an idea to try or a source for bungs.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Scratched Glass repair
Hi Betsy ANSWER: It depends on how deep the scratches are. If you can catch your fingernail on the scratch in the glass, it is probably too deep to remove. Hairline or very light scratches can be removed or lightened using an abrasive compound. Start by using an automotive-polishing compound or a whitening-type toothpaste. Hand rub in a circular motion. It may take awhile to make any progress. There are also special glass-polishing compounds available from a glass company you can use, or you can use iron oxide (also called jeweler's rouge or polishing rouge) which is a very fine, dark red powder available at hobby shops or jewelry supply stores. Mix 1 ounce of iron oxide into a paste with 1 ounce glycerin and 1 ounce water. Put a small amount on a cloth and rub the scratches. Wash it off with clear water from time to time to check your progress. It may take awhile to see results. Be careful not to apply too much pressure or you could shatter the glass. If you use a glass-polishing compound, you can use a power buffer. This requires a lot of pressure, and is recommended only for mirrors or glass that can be removed and laid flat and supported from underneath. Another option is to contact a glass company and have your glass professionally buffed. However, if the scratches are too deep, they will be permanently etched into the glass and will be permanent. In that case your only option is to replace the glass.

Dear Dale: One more note, the two plugs I have are different in that one has a handle that screws in to expand the plug but it also flips ninety degrees to suddenly lock it tight.
