RE: [BlindHandyMan] new tile floor- should I seal?
Definitely seal it. It won't wear off since it is absorbed into the grout. All the reasons you stated are reasons you should seal it. It's inexpensive and you or someone sighted should have no trouble applying it, by following the directions on the bottle. You can buy it at Lowes or Home Depot. Hope this helps.

Hello everyone, I am new to this list and I have a question for the group. Hubby and I are blind and we are having our home remodeled with new tile floors put in our kitchen, dining room, sunroom, and utility room. The grout color will be a medium shade of bone with the grout lines 1/16 inch wide (the tiles themselves are large-- sorry I can't remember their exact dimensions).

Some say sealing it is a waste because the grout line is so thin, the sealant will wear off, and you need to reseal every year.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] new tile floor- should I seal?
You do not need to scrub and clean new grout before applying the sealant. Also, you do not need to re apply ever. It is not going to disappear after a while. They just want you to buy more, so, don't fall for that one.

Hi, Well I just asked my wife who is sighted and worked with many a grout. My wife said the following: If you seal the grout, you need to do it every six months.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Copper vs. PVC Pipe - Was: Shark Bite Inline Valves
I believe I am correct in saying many major cities do not allow any kind of plastic in side structures, p Mostly multi dwellings/ apartment houses and multi level buildings due to the gas the plastic emits at high temps during a fire? I would like to hear other comments on this. thanks.Lee On Mon, Mar 08, 2010 at 01:37:10PM -0600, Dave Andrus wrote: Hi, I wish I could agree with you completely. An earth quake will get either pipe, and in fact the more ridgid it is as with copper, the more likely it is to break. I hate to say it but the main reason cities and their codes do not want plastic is because of the unions. Most people can do plastic. Most can not do copper, thus giving union pipe fitters a job. This is real evident in chicago with their electrical codes. All electrical wire must be in conduet. They say conduet prevents a person putting a nial through the wire.

At least, none of the metropolitan areas where I've lived allow PVC supply lines. The reason for this is that in case of a fire, earthquake, tornado or some other disaster that could rupture those lines the municipality doesn't want water supplies compromised. Of course, an earthquake might very well rupture a main line, but that's much easier to correct than a number of private homes leaking kilo gallons of water during an emergency.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Shark Bite Inline Valves
Dan,I hafve found the curb shut off two times here over the years and the town refuses to install a new one. I have put a tomato paste can over the end. the town had put in a shut off valve which stuck up a little. that round piece about maybe 3inches across? well two times I hit it with the lawnmowers . no more lawnmowing as it cost to much to replace the mowers and the town has this idea if I am blind then get a kid or a animal to mow the grass.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Recall: Gerber Legendary Blades: Machetes Due to Laceration Hazard
Hi Guys, This isn't so far fetched. One must consider what the machete is primarily used for, that being the cutting and chopping up of vegetation and plant life that is undoubtedly going to get moist and soaked with dew, rain and other sap and gunk that would make your hands very slippery, and if a person who's been doing this all day, or even for an hour or two was to encounter a large enough limb to cut, the obvious way to cut that limb is with a sawing motion. Now, if the blade is sharp enough, one should have no trouble slicing into it, however, if the blade is just the slightest bit dull, or serrated, then the blade could very well catch, and, with no guard where the blade meets the hilt, a hand could very well slide forward, and if the edge of the blade is flush with the handle and hilt, there would be nothing to stop the hand from sliding forward, and, like Dale said, cut fingers, tendons, and other sinewy flesh that would cause you to lose your fingers, and/or function in your fingers/hands.
