Re: [BlindHandyMan] old refrigerator

[Brice Mijares]

It's good to keep in mind when shopping for new appliances to ask if they 
carry off the old one if you buy from them.  Here in California, I don't 
thing you can take used appliances  to a land fill.  Also, I believe people 
run adds that they'll pick up for free. 

[BlindHandyMan] leaf blowers

[Brice Mijares]

After reading about the recent post on compasses, it reminded me how one of 
these may help when using a leaf blower.  I know in the past I'd get all 
turned around when operating a leaf blower.  Well, now I'm in the market for 
a new blower.  Do they make them any quieter?  I'd like one that you can 
carry on your back. 

[BlindHandyMan] front porch light

[Brice Mijares]

Okay, Last weekend we went to OSH to buy a replacement bulb for the porch 
light. I got help from one of the service employees.  My wife pointed out a 
light fixture that was similar to ours so we got the correct light bulb. The 
light is suppose to turn  on at dust and turn off at dawn VIA a sensor. Well 
we have a problem, the light is not turning off. We have to turn it on at 
night and turn it off in the morning.  So I need some trouble shooting hints 
to try out. Thanks

[BlindHandyMan] front porch light

[Brice Mijares]

Yesterday we pick up the correct light bulb for the front porch.  I believe 
it was 40 watts as was suggested by the service a tenant.  Came home and 
swamp them out.  Turned the switch on and the light came on.  This puzzled 
me as the censor should have known it was light out so the light shouldn't 
have came on.  So we turned the switch off and turned it back on when it got 
dark.  When my wife gets up it will be light and I'll have her check it to 
see if the light went off on it's own as it should have. I hope the censor 
didn't go bad.  I can't see both the bulb and the censor going bad at the 
same time. So I'm perplexed at the moment. 

Re: [BlindHandyMan] porch light

[Brice Mijares]

No problems with sub degree coldness here, I live in Central California. 
Hardly ever falls below 32 and the front porch is covered. Now, I have to 
figure out how to change the light bulb. It is  shaped like an octagon with 
vertical strips of glass about inch and a half wide and about 6 inches high 
with sheet metal between each strip of glass..  If it's like the one we had 
at our last home, it's a pain in the ass to change light bulbs as it damn 
near falls apart during the process. 

Re: [BlindHandyMan] porch light

[Brice Mijares]

Thanks all.

[BlindHandyMan] porch light

[Brice Mijares]

The light bulb on our front porch went out.  Question; being that it has 
some kind of censor that turns the light on once it gets dark and turns off 
in the morning when it gets light, is it a special light bulb?  My wife 
thinks so, but I don't think so.  I think it'll takes any light bulb 
providing it fits in the fixture. 

Re: [BlindHandyMan] changing settings

[Brice Mijares]

Personally I go to my yahoo groups, scroll down past all the groups, and 
there is some check boxes where you can  set all active groups to no mail 
which takes affect quite quickly.  I do this every time I'm going to be away 
from the computer more than a couple of days.  Then when you are ready to 
resume receiving mail, go back to the same check boxes and make the 
necessary changes and save the settings.

We're not talking about flammable gloves.  A person using cloth gloves is 
taking a risk.  Leather gloves will not burn unless you leave it on the

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Using Gas Grill!

[Brice Mijares]

One more item I forgot to mention.  Have a pair of glove with at least 
leather finger tips  on them if you plan to cook anything in foil. this way 
you can use your hands to turn what ever in the foil. 

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Using Gas Grill!

[Brice Mijares]

No problem, I have a gas grill, a Weber, and a smoker.   I use them all with 
no problems.  You can even buy wire baskets with handles to flip your meats. 
For thicker meats you may want to have a talking thermostat on hand. 
Personally I use my gas grill for steak, hamburgers, and hot links.  Gas 
grills tend to burn to damn hot to cook your thicker meats, this is where a 
Weber  is handy .  Next weekend I plan to slow cook a nice size brisket. 
I'll start it off in my Weber to get the wood smoke into the meat for a few 
hours, then I'll finish of in my gas smoker for another 7 hours or so.  Good 
luck.

You might want to check your seal and also check

Re: [BlindHandyMan] airconditioners

Dan, you are correct.  Here in California, usually if you have a heat pump, 
it runs both heater and air.  Gas is cheaper to run than electric. 

Re: [BlindHandyMan] airconditioners

What I know about these other alternative is that they use a heat pump, and 
depending where in the states your located, they may not be cost efficient.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Testing for Mold?

[Brice Mijares]

Before I paid anyone to come out, I'd have a friend come over and look for 
visible signs.  You can see mole growing on the walls.  It's under the house 
where you can't see it unless someone goes under and takes a look.  Good 
luck.

I noticed that too. The agent would be the first change I'd make.  He's 
probably the agent representing the sellers. So he wouldn't be looking out

Re: [BlindHandyMan] warranty

You Bet!  The ice makers are around A buck 50 each, and I was told the new

[BlindHandyMan] warranty

[Brice Mijares]

Thank God for warranties.  About 4 years ago I bought a G E side by side 
refrigerator.  About 6 to 9 months after the purchase my ice maker went on 
the blink. So the technician came to the house and fixed it, and while he 
was here He suggested that I buy the 5 year extended warranty which I did. 
Bounce forward about 3 years, which was a couple months ago, Ice maker went 
on the blink again, so they replaced it.  Last week, I open the freezer to 
get something out and noticed it wasn't as frozen as it should be, didn't 
think much of it at the time thinking my wife must have left the door open a 
bit.  Later, tried to dispense some water from the refrigerator and that 
wouldn't work. Push the button for Ice, that worked, so I was perplexed. 
Right then, I say to me self, time to call G E again.  So G E was scheduled 
to come out  the next morning.  Got up the next morning and the refrigerator 
was working fine. When the tech got here I explained to him what had 
occurred over the past day.  He pulled the refrigerator out from the wall, 
unscrewed a panel, went to the service truck, came back with a PC board, put 
it in  and everything is working fine again.   So, 2 Ice makers later, and a 
new computer board, I'd say it was worth paying for the extended warranty.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Roots In Water Line

[Brice Mijares]

Water lines and sewage are two different animals.  Pouring salt down the 
drain goes out the sewage pipe.  If roots worked it way in the the main 
water  line coming into the house there would be evidence where the roots 
are entering the line due to the constant water  pressure.

[BlindHandyMan] gloves

[Brice Mijares]

harbor freight, OSH, or any hardware store will have a good selection of 
gloves.  Personally I go to Harbor Freight due to there low prices. They 
have gardening gloves, leather gloves, cotton gloves, and you can even  buy 
surgical gloves for a lack of a better term.  I like to keep a pair of 
flexible leather gloves around for barbecuing.  Make it easy when flipping 
stuff rapped in foil.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Freakin termites.

[Brice Mijares]

Dan, what would be fun if you had sight, would be to use a carbon arc set up 
to cut the puppy up! But it can be dangerous and  a fire hazard.  You use a 
carbon arc lead and stick a carbon rod in holder and where it holds the 
carbon rod there is a series of holes, maybe 4 or 5, I can't remember. 
Anyhow, a compress air line
is hooked up to the lead and once you are ready, you press this button and 
air comes out of the tip in the direction of the carbon rod.  Once that 
carbon rod hits metal the compress air stream blows the metal away. It 
sounds like a jet engine it's so loud. When I was a Iron Worker. We'd call 
it scarfing metal.

Well there will be no way a tree branch would set it off.  My mobile home

plus I have a tough shed at the end of the car port that's half under the 
awning.  This is where I'd like to set up some kind of security system. 
This way I'd get full security of the car, the patio and anyone trying to

Re: [BlindHandyMan] security light with motion detector

[Brice Mijares]

Hello Betsy, I thought of putting one of those alarms that have a pull pin 
but decided against it.  Once I'm in bed, I wouldn't want to get up and turn 
it off.  With a 300 watt light being  turned on by a motion detector or heat 
sensor and lighting that area like it was day time I think it would scare 
the hell out of a thief.  It would also be nice to get the person on camera.

Aloha Brice,
How about putting some sort of an alarm on it so
if the can is moved it will squeal. Now that
aluminum cans are worth money, I suspect that
people wander around looking for them.

[BlindHandyMan] security light with motion detector

[Brice Mijares]

Can you believe this.  We move into a  senior citizen mobile home park in 
December. I had a regular trash can that I saved our aluminum cans that I 
always smash.  Well last week, I went outside to dump  some and couldn't 
fine the trash can. Some lousy sum bitch stole the trash can and all. Now I 
need some ideas. I want something like a motion detector that will not only 
light up the area, but also start a cam recorder or the likes.  It had to be 
someone from outside the park that did this as I found out others had there 
cans stolen.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] tapcon screws

[Brice Mijares]

Okay, this may be a knew one on me. What are tapping screws?  Are we talking 
about something like an anchor bolt?  At first, I thought maybe you guys 
were talking about self tapping screws, but when I read cement and brick, 
that was out of the question.

I don't think it's all that easy as walking in to any hardware store and 
having a key made.  I believe there is a chip in the key that will allow the 
motor to start and won't start without this chip.  That's why I was hopeful 
I could get it straighthen.

Dan, a few years back, you remove something from your basement.  Was it a

rid of it?  Another words, how did you get it down to the street level? 
Pprobably to late now, but if I was in your perdictument, I'd have some kind

Just hearing of you  tuning up your car got my ribs a hurting. We use to 
have a 73 blazer that I tuned up a couple of times.  About 90 percent of the 
time your feet were in mid air with all your weight balanced on you ribs. 
I'd gets the plugs in, the points in, then call my neighbor over to help me 
set the gap on the points.  Glad those days are over. Now we just take the 
car in. what, maybe 70 thousand miles or so?  My wife was always getting mad 
at me for doing things she think I couldn't do. Now, she just leaves me 
alone and comes to my aid if I need her sight for something. Have a good 
one.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] washing machines cycles

[Brice Mijares]

Thank You Betsy, I believe you are correct.  The web site stated the newer 
models had double to triple cycles.  Don't think they're energy efficient 
though.  They use allot of water.  Oh well, when my wife gets back IN Town 
I'll have her get the users manual out and give me the model number so I can 
read the owners manual.  She can read it to me, but I can comprehend it 
better if I read it myself.

Aloha Brice,
I have a Whirlpool conbo washr/dryer unit. There
is a setting for heavy-duty wash which does
something similar. I suggest that you try to find
out how to set it for a permapress load if you're not sure what it is set 
on.

Perhaps if you could find out the model of the
washer, you could download a manual or you could
contact Whirlpool tech support at:
whirlpool_customerexperie...@whirlpool.com

BTW, when I recently contacted them to get a
braille overlay for my new dishwasher, they told
me they no longer provide that service.

[BlindHandyMan] washing machines cycles

[Brice Mijares]

Back in December we bought this mobile home.  There is a wash room that had 
both a washing machine and dryer that the previous owner left. Both are in 
excellent condition..  Both units are made by World pool.  I've never owned 
a world pool, just Kenmore's.  With the Kenmore, a normal load took no more 
than 40 minutes to finish.  With this World pool, it seems as if it takes a 
hour an a half. The tub fills up, then it does it's adjatating cycle, 
drains, spins, tub fills again for a   cycle and starts adjatating again, 
drain again, then starts  spinning where you hear some water being injected 
into the tub as it spins. Then the water injection stops and it spins for 
about 5 minutes.  In the pas with the Kenmore, the load would be finished, 
but with this woorldpool after what you'd think was the final cycle, you 
hear a buzz alerting that the load is done. But Wrong! The whole cycle 
starts over again.  Is there a setting that allows this second cycleto be 
shut off?  I'm wasting both water and power with this unnecessary secon 
cycle.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Garbage disposal

[Brice Mijares]

Blane, do you mine me asking where your from?  In my adult life, I've only 
live in one place where there was no garbage disposal, and that was in an 
apartment.  Someone on the list made a comet yesterday that garbage 
disposals were becoming a thing of the past.. I beg to differ. Tell a woman 
your taking her garbage disposal away.  It's to damn convenient for all. 
Peeling potatoes and the  likes into the sink and washing them down the 
disposal is to easy.  Beats peeling them over the indoors garbage container. 
Besides that, cuts down the odor  where you store your trash cans. And if 
one decides to start a comp pile, beware of the rank odor they make.

Are you serious, Believe me, I'm in no way trying  to make fun of you not 
knowing what or how a garbage disposal works.  But if your serious, it's a 
device that is mounted under the sink.  Instead of throwing table scraps in 
your garbage can, you rinse the scraps off your plate on the sink side where 
the disposal is located .  Turn the water on and flip the switch and the 
table scraps are ground up and sent down the sewage pipe.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Painting indoor walls.

[Brice Mijares]

The best product that I know to clean the walls before painting is called 
TSP or something like that. It removes all grease and etches the paint.  But 
it sounds like you need to do some sanding first to remove the pealing 
paint.  Who ever painted last didn't prepare the walls correctly.  More than 
likely they painted over dirty greasy walls.

Hi Dale,
It's pealing due to the fact that we used pine sall to wash the wall down a 
couple years ago, and we're figuring it was too rough in that spot. By the 
way, the people who got the home ready before we bought it weren't the 
smartest bunch... ;)

Well, again, you aren't likely to get all of the paint off. The usual thing 
to do where you have pealing paint is to scrape off the loose and maybe 
scrub it down with a wire brush, again maybe a little sanding gently but not 
directly on drywall as this will damage the paper surface then after washing 
down paint over.

Getting all of the paint off of most surfaces isn't usually practical. If 
you don't prepare the surface well though your new paint will begin pealing 
off too.

If there are four coats since 1986 and pealing someone hasn't done a good 
preparation at some point.

  Hi,
  We can guarantee there is no lead paint. This paint was put on in 2006, 
and we had the home inspected before making an offer. We have to strip the 
paint, as it is pealing.
  We are in the process of becoming lisenced as foster parents, and the 
agency has asked us to fix the pealing paint and repaint.
  Sorry for any misunderstanding.

  There usually isn't any good reason to remove paint and if it is very old 
you probably don't want to remove it for fear you liberate old lead paint. 
Generally it is sufficient to wash the paint thoroughly so the new sticks 
well although you may also wish to give a gentle scrub with something like 
80 grit sand paper to take off any nibs or other high points bearing in mind 
the caveat of the possibility of lead paint.

Mine is a Allan wrench, somewhere around 3 eights of a inch.  Can't be sure 
though, don't feel like looking for it.  But we keep it in a rocker like 
drawer in front of the sink just under the counter top.  In the old days,

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). 
Anyway, I am getting conflicting advice as to whether or not to have the 
grout sealed. 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. Others 
say that sealing the grout will help prevent the grout from absorbing food 
spills  and stains (I have a guide dog with a very sensitive stomach), and 
becoming discolored. What is your advice?

Much thanks,
Linda

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Labelling Tips

[Brice Mijares]

Victor, maybe you got a bad role?  I've never had a problem with dyno tape 
working it'sself loose.  I clean the area with soap and water and rinse the 
area with a clean cloth before hand.  Maybe lay the dyno tape in a warm 
place before application to loosen up the sticky surface.

[BlindHandyMan] GFI's

[Brice Mijares]

Back in early December my wife and I bought a triple wide mobile home.  As 
most of you know, that would be in 3 sections joined together.  On one of 
the outside sections, there is two full bathrooms.  After we moved in I had 
a electrician  friend of mine come in and restore power to both bathrooms 
which have GFI's already installed. Once here, he found the problem right 
away.  On that section there is an outlet on the outside for the patio which 
was fried. Also, in the breaker box, the breaker for the 2 bathrooms and the 
patio outlet is GFI as well.  If I lost you, I'm saying that where the 
breaker is tripped, it is also equip with a extra GFI as part of the breaker 
switch. That was fried too and was replaced.  Well last night I plug in my 
digital player to charge in the extra bathroom and there was no juice. I 
reset it and asked my wife if she had any problems in the master bath, and 
she told me she had to reset it every time she used the blow dryer for her 
hair.  Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening?

they are illegal.

[BlindHandyMan] y-5 was a pain in the arse

[Brice Mijares]

First of all, they sent me the phone modem slash Y-5 about 10 days before 
they activated the phone line coming to my home. Then I had to call tech 
support because there were no real directions to hook it up. Once I found 
out it had to be hard wired, I was told to start internet explore and I had 
to go through a deregistration procedure. Once that was done, getting a 
wireless connection wasn't to hard, but still a pain in the ass to do when 
your sighted assistance is computer illiterate.

Lenny, when you placed your order, did you receive any type of receipt? 
Today I was told it was being shipped by Fed-X and was told initially that 
it was going to be shipped by  UPS.  At this point I could care less if it 
was shipped VIA snail mail.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] ignition key

[Brice Mijares]

The type I was referring to has two button on the key itself.  One to unlock 
the doors, and another that causes the horn to beep as the doors lock. 
Also, one of the buttons will beep on and off to locate your car if you 
can't remember where your parked, or in case your being attack in a parking 
lot.  Also called a panic button.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] help needed

[Brice Mijares]

Thanks Dan, maybe that's my problem.  I just took it for granted that the 
wireless end of the router was on by default.  Yes, when I set up my desktop 
to the router, I change the admin  user name and password.  Well, I'll give 
it a shot again today, and see if I can get my laptop  hooked up.

[BlindHandyMan] help needed

[Brice Mijares]

Has anyone out there been able to hook up a  and receive a wireless 
connection to your laptop with out sight?  I bought a
Linksys WRT160N Ultra Rang... and was able to get it working with my desktop 
because it's hard wired into the router, slipped in the disk and followed 
the directions.  But, when It came to getting my laptop connected wireless, 
I was unsuccessful.  My wife can see, but I didn't ask her for help,because 
she is totally clueless dealing with computers.

Re: Sweating pipes: [WAS] Re: [BlindHandyMan] Interesting grounding issue.

[Brice Mijares]

Not really, especially if you've done it with eye sight.  It's all about 
heating the joint in a fashion where the solder follows the heat source. 
Another words, you'd concentrate the heat on the female part of the joint 
just beyond where the male end enters the joint and apply the solder near 
the joint on the male side of the joint and the solder is going to run 
towards the heat..

Re: [BlindHandyMan] storm door hardware repair

[Brice Mijares]

David, what do you consider a storm door?  Some years back, I hung what I 
call a security door on the door leading to the  side of my yard off the 
garage.  I also hung a glass door with a section of the door that you can 
slide up to let fresh air in.  This door I hung at the front door.  Both 
doors came with a door within a frame that mounted right to the framing  of 
the door entrance with lags that you could screw in, but you couldn't 
unscrew.

[BlindHandyMan] another firewall question

[Brice Mijares]

I have a linksys router, and was wondering if there is some kind of device 
that I can plug into the router that will transmit a wireless signal for a 
laptop I'm in the market for.

[BlindHandyMan] hardware firewall help

[Brice Mijares]

I was doing some cleaning, better yet, I was trying to untangle all the wire 
and cables that the cable company made a mess while hooking up both cable 
modems for both internet and phone.  While doing so, I forgot where I pulled 
out the cables leading in, and out of my linksys router.
Can someone with a linksys router check the layout and let me know where the 
in jack from the cable modem goes into the router?  Let me know if it's the 
jack nearest to the ac power jack, or the furthest away from the ac power 
jack.  I hope this made sense.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] a higher bath room sink

What would be code or a set standard for a bathroom vanity?  Myself, I'm 5 8
