Re: [BlindHandyMan] pouring cement stairs.
Since we're on the subject of pouring concrete I have a project that could use an informed tip. The sidewalk section that butts up to the bottom of my concrete steps into the house is badly shifted and I want to replace it with a newly poured section. The shifted section is 36 by 24 and of course there are two adjacent sections of sidewalk as well as the steps. I was hoping I could just put a board where the naked side of this sidewalk section is and pour new concrete, but I'm not sure what I should do about the neighboring concrete; the two pre-existing sidewalk sections and the bottom of the steps. Can I pour the new concrete so it's in contact with the three older items or do I need to put some type of separating material between them? If I need to put some type of separating material between the new concrete and the old what would be best to use and how thick would it need to be? I would imagine that if I need some type of separator the thinner the better (to a point of course)?

[BlindHandyMan] Precast Modular Cement Steps - Was: pouring cement stairs.
Art, My late wife's parents have a precast modular concrete stoop for their home and it seems to be just fine. They got it almost twenty years ago and I've never noticed shifting or break down of any kind. Of course, like anything, they bought this product from a well reputed individual who also did a great job installing it -- installation was part of the cost.

[BlindHandyMan] Digging Safely, What's Under Your Grass?
Hi All Yard Work Season is Here - What's Underneath Your Grass? Don't put yourself at risk. Use new 811 Diggers Hotline this Memorial Day weekend. Madison, Wis. (Vocus/PRWEB ) May 17, 2007 -- Doing some simple landscaping or yard work can be a relatively enjoyable time when the weather is nice. Underneath that sod and soil in your yard are more than just roots, dirt, and insects. There are cables and high-voltage wires that could cause serious injury or even death if they are pierced by a shovel or backhoe. Fortunately there's a new tool you can use to make sure this Memorial Day's yard work projects go on without a hitch. According to the Common Ground Alliance (CGA), there are nearly 700,000 unintentional digging related accidents each year in the United States. An 8-1-1 number has been created this year to help simplify contacting appropriate utilities who dispatch workers to the requested site to mark the approximate location of underground lines. We can't stress enough the importance of calling 8-1-1 and what it means to you and your family's safety, said Kevin Hess, senior vice-president of Government and Regulatory Affairs for TDS Telecom. Take the time to find out where major utility lines are on your property. Hess said using the new 8-1-1 Diggers Hotline can even save you money. Simple digging jobs such as planting trees or shrubs can damage utility lines, disrupt vital services to entire neighborhoods, and result in expensive fines and repair costs. According to a CGA study, 46-percent of Americans are active diggers who have done or plan to do a digging project at home; yet only 33-percent of do-it-yourselfers plan on calling before they dig. Which means a lot of people are taking an enormous risk each time they put a shovel into the ground, said Hess. Nationwide, dangerous assumptions about the location of underground utility lines, which are buried at various depths below the ground, lead to more than one accidental hit per minute. More information can be found by logging on to the 8-1-1 Call Before You Dig Web site at www.Call811.com.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] pouring cement stairs.
Hi Bill, Examine the spacing between the other sections, you will want to get similar spacing for the sake of appearance. Usually the spacing will be a three quarters thick board, commonly a strip of plywood or a length of so-called 1 by 4. These may be left behind often because they are about impossible to remove, if they are removed they will be often replaced with some sort of tar or packed in a little sand. The purpose of the spacers is to allow movement without breaking up the entire walkway. The sides can be modest where the walk is depressed into the surrounding ground so long as you can get them tightly and securely placed by packing them around the outside. The cement will keep them firmly against the sides of the excavation. The new cement will be obvious for a couple of years partly by texture and partly by colour but on the other hand it shows that someone is taking care of maintenance. Hope this helps.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] Monkey wrench
Lee: It's a corruption of the inventor's name. Enjoy. Wrenches By Mary Bellis Crescent wrench A wrench is a tool - the English call it a spanner - that is usually operated by hand, and is made for tightening or loosening bolts, nuts or anything that needs to turn. Solymon Merrick patented the first wrench in 1835. The physics of a wrench are that the tool works as lever. There are notches at the mouth for gripping. The wrench is pulled at a right angle to the axes of the lever-action and the bolt or nut. Some wrenches have mouths that can be tightened to better fit various objects that need turning. Monkey Wrench Charles Moncky invented the monkey wrench around 1858. Ratchet Wrench Robert Owen, Jr (1881 - 1956) invented the ratchet wrench. Owen received a patent on September 9, 1913. U. S. Patent number 1,072,980. Pipe Wrench On September 13, 1870, a patent was granted to Daniel C. Stillson, a steamboat fireman, for a wrench. Stillson invented the pipe wrench - sometimes called the Stillson pipe wrench. Stillson, suggested to the heating and piping firm Walworth manufacture a design for a wrench that could be used for screwing pipes together. Previously, serrated blacksmith tongs had been used for that purpose. The owner, James Walworth told Stillson to make a prototype and either twist off the pipe or break the wrench. Stillson's prototype twisted the pipe successfully. His design was then patented and Walworth manufactured the wrench. Stillson was paid about $80,000 in royalties during his lifetime.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] safely digging holes, was How To Install a Basket Ball Hoop
The utility lines are usually right along your property boundary. When you call the toll free number before excavating, all utility companies are notified and will come out and mark their lines so you know where not to dig. In cases where one of their lines is on or through your property, They will also mark it. When digging for your garden, you shouldn't have any problems unless you or the previous property owner installed your own underground lines,such as electrical service to an out building, water lines, etc. - Original Message - From: Jennifer Jackson To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, May 24, 2007 00:25 Subject: [BlindHandyMan] safely digging holes, was How To Install a Basket Ball Hoop So what is the best way to know where it is safe to dig holes in the yard?

Re: [BlindHandyMan] safely digging holes, was How To Install a Basket Ball Hoop
Hi all, when I bought my first home in 1975 we found a metal 6 by 6 pole. maybe 4 feet tall sticking up in our back yard. the markings on it were by New York Telephone which is now Verizon. Like Jennifer we wanted to put in a garden but I must say unless you have a sighted person to read off the information such as the 8800 numbers to call you are screwed. I called that number and within 3 days they were there. the equipment the man had felt like a bathroom scale with a handle. I heard the beeping as the man located the underground phone cable. He also told me the average depth of their lines was three feet but depending on digging it could be as shallow as six inches. lucky for us the line ran from that pole across to and then under a neighbors chain link fence. . You do Not have to be blind to dig up some of these cables or gas lines. sighted professionals on the seat of a back hoe do it all the time. Lee -- Ducks? What ducks??

[BlindHandyMan] Removing Stains Tips and Techniques
Hi All Beer Stain Removal Hints Beer stains are fairly easy to remove. If the stain is still wet, blot up as much as you can with a clean white cloth or paper towels. Never rub a stain. Mix a teaspoon of a good dishwashing detergent, such as Dawn, with a cup of warm water. Spoon some of this detergent mixture onto the stain, and allow to stand for 5 minutes. Rinse the stain with a little warm water, and carefully blot dry. If the stain is stubborn, mix one part of white vinegar to two parts water, and repeat the previous steps. If the stain is on clothing, always rinse the stain in cool running water from the back of the stain, and treat the stain as you would carpet. Vinegar will bleach clothing, so be sure to rinse right away, and wash according to care label instructions. Remember, the dark beers such as Guinness Lager will cause the worst stain due to its dark coloring. 1. Mix one teaspoon of a mild ph balanced detergent (a mild non alkaline non bleaching detergent) with a cup of lukewarm water 2. Blot 3. Mix one third cup of white household vinegar with two thirds cup of water 4. Blot 5. Sponge with clean water 6. Blot Note: Always test an inconspicuous area for colorfastness, etc. before treating the exposed area. Also note that certain stains are permanent. How To Clean Juice Stains Removing juice stains can be accomplished by quickly rinsing with cool water. Don't use detergent on the stain - it will set it and make it impossible to remove. Instead, use white vinegar and blot to remove. Clear fruit juices, such as grapefruit, orange, or apple can be removed by blotting out as much of the juice as you can, and then rinsing with cool water. If needed, use a sponge and white vinegar to clean the spot, and then use a stain pretreater, such as Shout, and launder per the care label instructions. On dry clean only items, sponge on a little white vinegar, and rinse with cool water. If the stain persists, use a digestant enzyme paste on the stain, and let stand for 30 minutes. Rinse. Don't apply a digestant enzyme cleaner to silk or wool. These are best handled by a dry cleaning professional. 1. Blot up liquid 2.

[BlindHandyMan] Well, I did it.
Against the advice of many of you I went ahead and bought the shop smith. It looked like the best deal for me and after all I'm the one who will be using it. I just got the new building on Tuesday and the shop smith put together on Wednesday. Now I'm learning how to use it. I made my first cross cut today using the miter gauge. It has a built in clamp. Just clamp the wood and push it through.Although I spent a lot of time in my youth hanging around my uncles wood shop I really don't know how to do many things. More accurately I don't know how to do them safely. The saw with its blade guard looks a lot safer than my uncle's saw with a totally unprotected blade. Wish me luck, I've got a lot to learn. If anyone with a little sight is interested, I'll post some pictures of the shop smith and the new building. Regards. Max. K 4 O D S.
