Re: [BlindHandyMan] electric heaters
Funny this topic has come up. I saw a parabolic heater that I swear when you stood right in front of it, you felt like you were standing outside on a very Sunny day. These things are apparently incredibly efficient. I haven't purchased one, but I have been rather tempted. Has anyone tried a parabolic heater? The one I saw at Costco was made by Presto.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Radiant floor heating.
Hi Lee, These days they usually use PEX. PEX is a form of cross linked polyethylene pipe which can be laid down in long loops and being somewhat flexible can be bent without requiring joints.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] electric heaters
Scott, I had one of these 50 years ago. Because of the shape it can reflect the heat quite a distance forward in the direction it is pointed. The only draw back was anything close to it in line got really hot and nothing could be close in front of it. On the other hand if you wanted to make something hot fast, they did the trick. bob
[BlindHandyMan] Renovating my kitchen.
Hello there. I'm considering, with permission from my landlord renovating the kitchen counters and cubbords. One thing that I want to do is put an oak trim along the counter edge instead of the same material that is on the counter already. The cubbords are made of MDF and I like that for the shelves but wish to put oak or an Oak finish so it looks like oak but really isn't to the untrained eye. I would keep the shelves the same but put oak in the doors and the frame would be oak. thought about having an oak trim and then putting oak plywood in the middle and using a router to shape it so it had a little decorative look to it. I also want to extend the counter to the stove, it's in a corner is where I would want to put the extention so that I could put coffee pots or microwave there and have more room on top of the counter where the microwave is now for food prep. I know that I would have to have a angled cut but trying to figure out how I would attach it to the counter already there? There also is a plug beneath where the counter is right now where I'm considering putting this extra counter. I would have to have a space by the wall to drop the chords, or I could get the landlord, who is an electrission to raise the plug so that I could put the extention right up to the wall. I was looking at using two-by-twos to attach to the counter already and against the back wall. I also would like to take the bathroom counters and fix the drawer so that it roles out instead of pulling out and also doing the same with the oak, I think I would completely redue the cabinets keeping the counter top the same but putting an oak trim on the edge and doing the cabbinets in oak. Let me know what you all think. Any suggestions would be great. Blaine [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
Re: [BlindHandyMan] electric heaters
Hi Bob, thanks for the info. I am considering this just to take the chill out of the basement. Generally I dont' mind at all, but there are those days where it does seem a bit cooler than is comfortable while working. Apparently some use these instead of their central heat. Well okay, they turn the heat way down and use these in whatever room they are in. I have read they use about as much electricity as a nightlight and that does seem a little hard to believe.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] electric heaters
Thanks Bill. I know when I passed this thing at Costco, I could not believe how much heat was pouring out of it. Of course it is directional and so would take some time to really warm an area up unless you are directly in front of it. An interesting idea for sure. It was interesting that the backside of the dish was not that hot and I could actually put my hand almost on the cage in the front without it burning me. grin Quite an interesting heater.

[BlindHandyMan] Changing rollers in glass sliding door
Hi All Well I changed the rollers in the bottom of our glass sliding door yesterday and it turned out to be more difficult than I thought. The problem was not getting them out but because the hold down screw hole in the new roller brackets had No screw thread in it this is what holds the bracket to the frame of the door and without it there is nothing to hold it in , apparently that is how they are now. We fisted two large hardware stores and these rollers are all the same in design. So I drilled out this hole and used a larger screw and a square nut which fitted inside the bracket to hold these rollers to the bottom of the door. Then I lowered the rollers up inside the frame with the adjusting screw so I could lit the door back into the track, then tilted the door slightly so I could adjust the rollers down so the dor could slide. By adjusting these rollers you can square up the door and after all this the door now works like it should. Can anyone explain how these brackets can be held under the door without using these unscrewed holes, for when you buy these rollers there is no additional screws or clips of any kind which come in the packet.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] electric snowblower

Now if I could find a wind director. This morning there was several feet of snow on our sidewalk, None on the car and a few houses up the street had no snow.

I'm not telling you this so you can come up here and buy one from them, I'm telling you this because their website is completely accessible, and, they have a good comment and feedback section on each of their products that are equal and unbiased. It' a rating system, and people rate their products and comment on them. One of the comments I saw in regards to electric snow blowers is that you shouldn't get anything under 12 amps, otherwise you risk not having enough power to clear what you want. I can't readily remember where it is you live, but judging from the snow fall you all have gotten down there in the last couple of months, a 6 amp blower won't do you at all. Either way, I would suggest you check out the site below, and check out the comment section for the blowers you're looking for, in addition to the specs for the products, and look for the one most similar to the one you're looking to buy, and see what others say about it. I mean, who would know more about clearing snow than Canadians, right? Smile. In any case, the website is below, and have fun looking. http://www.canadiantire.ca Hope this helps.
