How to Retrofit a Home for an Earthquake
Ask This Old House host Kevin O’Connor travels to Portland, Oregon to learn how to protect homes from earthquakes. Click here to SUBSCRIBE to the official This Old House YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=thisoldhouse Time: 1-2 days Cost: $2000 and up Skill Level: Expert – for licensed professionals only Tools List for Earthquake Protection: Palm nailer Drill driver Masonry drill Pipe wrench Shopping List: Metal L brackets Foundation plates 10 penny nails Wood screws Screw anchors Automatic gas shut off valve Pipe dope Gas nipples Museum putty Zip ties Water heater straps Steps: 1. The work involved with a seismic retrofit often requires a consultation with an engineer, and any work involving gas must be done by a licensed professional. Consulting with a person who is licensed to do seismic retrofits can help identify key areas to work with in order to minimize damage. 2. The house can be secured to the foundation by securing metal L brackets into the rim joist and the sill plate at locations determined by the engineer with a palm nailer and 10 penny nails. 3. To connect the sill plate to the foundation, drill screw anchors into the anchor plates and the foundation, and wood screws through the anchor plates to the sill plate. Predrill the sill plate to prevent it from splitting. 4. To prevent gas from leaking into the house during an earthquake, an automatic gas shut off valve can be installed by a licensed gas fitter. 5. Shut off the gas to the meter. 6. Disconnect the gas pipes starting from the meter until you reach a level gas pipe. 7. Thread the gas shut off valve into the pipes using pipe dope and nipples. 8. Reconnect the remaining gas pipes to the meter and turn the gas back on. Check for any leaks in the new gas work. 9. Secure any valuables and nick knacks to the wall, shelves, and floor using museum putty and zip ties. 10. Secure the water heater to the surrounding walls using straps. Resources: While the specialty hardware that was used to secure the house to the foundation can be found at most home centers, determining the proper location for that hardware may require a consultation with an engineer. The seismic gas shutoff valve installed was a Northridge Valve, which is manufactured by Seismic Safety Products (http://bit.ly/1QWirRy). Gas work is extremely dangerous and should always be left to licensed professionals. The museum putty used to secure valuables to the shelves is manufactured by QuakeHOLD (http://bit.ly/2dWBUpv). Expert assistance with this project was provided by NW Seismic (http://bit.ly/2FVkx6p) and Christopher Higgins.

How to Read the World Card | Tarot Cards

I'm Ellen Goldberg and I welcome you on behalf of The School of Oracles to this moment of taro. In this segment, we're going to look at the Whirl card. The final card in the entire Major Arcana. How wonderful it is to see the world answer here. She seems to have no reason other than pure being as she dances lighter than air. So it's a surprise to find out that she is ruled by the planet Saturn, the heaviest earthy planet of Karma. This is to be interpreted that spirit is everywhere and even the heaviest, most dense material existence is filled with spirit. Her Hebrew letter is Tav, which means 'Mark of God'. This is the Divine, the divine as the heavenly Androdrine. With this card, this being, is both masculine and feminine equally. You do not see her male sexual organs because they are covered by the scarf. Now we already know that the taro is not shy, we have seen completely naked men in the lover's card, in elsewhere in the taro. Why are they covered here and we only see her feminine nature? For two reasons, one is that the actual creative arget, the very heart of creation is mystery. The other is that the universe is slightly predominantly feminine. And within ourselves, in both men and women, it is the feminine aspect, the receptive side that is most open to the true self. She is lighter than air, one foot is down and it shows the connection to earth, the other foot is up which shows the souls release. We have seen the great Hindy god, Shiva, who is also called 'The Dancer' who dances in the Heart Cave in this very same pose in ancient statues. You'll notice that the heavenly androgine is dancing within a reef, this reef is called a Mandorla. And if we had two circles that intercept it, they would form that oval in their intersection so it is a symbol of the union of opposites and it's also a doorway, like a womb because the heavenly androgine is going to be reborn as the full, as a new cycle is about to start. In the four corners of the cards just as we've seen in the end of the wheel of fortune, we see the four fixed signs of the zodiac except here often the bull in many, uh, versions of this card looks down towards Earth in manifestation. The two rods in her hands are not necessarily magic wands, they are the rods of involution and evolution which are constantly taking place. This is called their Hebrew letter is Tav, the 'Mark of God', and it is the administrative intelligence. When we come to this card, we are dropping the personality and become a helper, a part of the cosmic government so that we take care of our world, our universe. When this card appears for you in its higher polarity, you're taking part in helping the world to go forward. You have achieved cosmic consciousness, this is the final stage of spiritual involvement, Nirvana, cosmic consciousness. All feelings of separateness are going forever. When you receive this card on the higher polarity, whatever you are doing is crowned with succcess and you are living in the here and now just as she does. When it is in the lower polarity, you are making the same mistakes over and over, there is an older list of heathen term for it called the 'Endless Round' and that's probably what you're experiencing or the weight of the world. She's lighter than air and dancing on air for a world as a denser particles on the higher polarity but it's dense and heavy and probably that influence of Saturn is weighing heavy on your shoulders.

Open House | Changing Locks on a New Home
Ask This Old House general contractor Tom Silva explains why and how to change the locks in a new home. Click here to SUBSCRIBE to the official This Old House YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=thisoldhouse Time: 30 minutes Cost: $40 and up Skill Level: Beginner Steps: 1. When you move into a new home, you should change the locks on your house. You have no idea how many copies of the house keys are floating out there from the previous homeowners, so changing the locks will keep you new house more secure. 2. Take an inventory of all the doors with locks in the house. 3. Purchase new door knob lock sets at a home center. Look for knobs that are labeled “keyed alike” or have a matching code so that you can use the same key on all the doors. Most home centers can also rekey the lock sets when you buy them. 4. To change the locks, unscrew the door knob from the inside and pull the knobs apart. 5. Insert the new knobs into the door opening. 6. Screw the new knobs into the door. Resources: Tom recommends changing the locks whenever a new home is purchased. The door knob and dead bolt lock set Tom demonstrated with was a Plymouth Single Cylinder Knob Combo pack with a bright brass finished. It is manufactured by Schlage (http://bit.ly/2MBDkUS) and can be found at most home centers.

How to Vent a Clothes Dryer
Ask This Old House plumbing and heating expert Richard Trethewey travels to Cleveland to reroute a lengthy dryer vent. Click here to SUBSCRIBE to the official This Old House YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=thisoldhouse Time: 1-2 hours Cost: $30 Skill Level: Beginner Tools List for Venting a Clothes Dryer: Measuring tape Drill Driver Hole saw slightly larger than size of vent pipes Metal cutting scissors or shears Shopping List: Rigid dryer pipes Dryer vent elbows Dryer vent cover Critter cover Foil duct tape Vent clamp Steps: 1. Measure and mark the correct location for the rigid pipe to vent to the outside. 2. Drill a pilot hole through the marked location to determine where to drill from outside. 3. When drilling through vinyl siding, set the drill into reverse and lightly score the hole based on the center of the pilot hole using the hole saw. 4. Set the drill into the correct direction and drill the hole. Don’t cut all the way through to the other side. 5. Go back inside and drill the rest of the hole from the inside. This will ensure the cut appears clean on both sides of the hole. 6. Measure and cut the rigid vent pipes to size. Seal the seams of the vent pipes with the duct tape. 7. Insert the pipe into the dryer vent cover. Seal the seam with more duct tape. 8. From the outside, insert the pipe into the hole. Secure the vent cover to the exterior wall with screws. You can add an additional critter cover over the dryer vent cover to prevent pests from coming up. 9. Insert the other end of the pipe into a dryer vent elbow and seal it with duct tape. 10. Push the dryer back into position. Connect the dryer vent to the elbow and secure it using a clamp and a screwdriver. 11. Plug the dryer back in. Resources: Richard recommends keeping the dryer vents as short as possible to prevent lint from accumulating and clogging the vent. All of the pieces Richard used to install the vent, including the duct tape, the rigid pipe, elbows, and the duct cover are all available at home centers.

How to Use the Alphabet List Technique | Memory Techniques
Forget Something? Beef up your memory with these products: Unlimited Memory: How to Use Learning Strategies to Learn Faster: http://amzn.to/1ZhQd79 The Memory Book: The Guide to Improving Your Memory at Work: http://amzn.to/1GyJ4DK Moonwalking with Einstein: The Art and Science of Remembering: http://amzn.to/1R1vC0U The Memory Jogger 2: Tools for Continuous Improvement: http://amzn.to/1Oo5pMt Memory Improvement: How To Improve Your Memory In Just 30 Days: http://amzn.to/1Oo5pMt Watch more How to Improve Your Memory videos: http://bit.ly/2HxUSSQ My name is Barry Reitman. I'm the author of "Secrets, Tips and Tricks of a Powerful Memory" and I'm going to discuss how to use the alphabet for remembering a list of things that you want to remember. Essentially we're just going to use A-B-C-D-E and so on, instead of the numbers one, two, three, four and the rest, but we're going to make them picturable. I usually try to use animals. For number one, A, ape, and I picture a large ape. The number two, bear, and I picture a bear. Later on, I'll connect it to whatever I want to remember. Number three can be chimpanzee, a smaller ape. Number four can be a deer. Number five can be an elephant, E, elephant, and so on. So now I take the list of things that I want to remember, be it a shopping list or notes for a speech that I'm going to make, or things I'm studying that I want to remember in order and I just make a silly picture of the animal with the item that's in that place on the list. So if the first thing I want to get at the supermarket is tomatoes, I'm not going to picture an ape eating a tomato. That's almost natural, an ape eating a piece of fruit or vegetable. I'll take a tomato and I'll throw it at the ape. Maybe have him duck a couple of times, and I'll hit him, and I'll see that tomato splatter all over that ape's face. That's a silly picture. It's a stupid picture. It's kind of a violent picture. That will make that picture stick in my mind. If the next item on my list is a loaf of bread and I want to use a bear, a grizzly bear, again might almost be natural, the bear breaks into the campsite and gets a loaf of bread. So what I'm going to do is have a bear sandwich. No, I'm not even going to slice it. I'm going to take a whole bear, shrink it down, and put it between two pieces of bread. The next number on my list is C, chimpanzee, and perhaps the next item that I want to get from the store is shoe polish. Well, that might work. I'm going to take shoe polish and picture myself polishing that chimpanzee's feet. And he's kind of in to it. It's something unusual. I can deal with that. As long as I see that picture, I'm good, and I'll go through the alphabet. Again instead of one, two, three, four, I'll go A-B-C-D as these animal pictures. Now when it comes time to go to the store and see my list in order, ape. I know that ape is number one in my animal system, and I know that I saw that ape ducking those tomatoes I was throwing him. I saw that picture. How can I not know it? Tomatoes is the first thing I have to get. The second number is bear, B, number two, and the second item... What was the second item on my list? Well, I know, I shrunk down a bear and I had a bear sandwich, I have to get some bread. And on, and on, and on, as long as that vocabulary of animals for alphabet is a part of you. As long as you know that vocabulary, you don't have to ask yourself, "What is number two on the list?" All you have to ask yourself is, "What silly picture did I see with the bear?" And that's how it works, and it works.

How to Replace a Concrete Walkway
Ask This Old House mason Mark McCullough replaces a concrete walkway with brick pavers. Click here to SUBSCRIBE to the official This Old House YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=thisoldhouse Time: 4-5 hours Cost: $500 and up Skill Level: Moderate Tools List for Replacing a Concrete Walkway: Pickax Sledgehammer Work gloves Safety glasses Rake Tamper Trowel Rubber mallet Level Push broom Shopping List: Disposable dumpster Brick pavers Gravel Stone dust 2x4” lumber Plastic edging Steps: 1. Look for a weak point in the concrete, such as the control joints or a crack in the walkway, and try to pry up the concrete pad using the pickax as leverage. If there are no weak points, hit the pad with a sledgehammer until a crack forms. 2. With the concrete pad loose, smash it with the sledgehammer until it breaks into manageable pieces. 3. Remove the concrete pieces and dispose of them in the disposable dumpster. 4. Clean out the base of the walkway with a rake and then compact it with a hand tamper. 5. Pour a layer of gravel on top of the walkway and spread it out with the rake. 6. Compact the gravel with the hand tamper. 7. Pour a layer of stone dust on top of the gravel and spread that with the rake as well. 8. Screed the stone dust level with a scrap piece of lumber. Use a trowel and additional stone dust to fill in low spots as you screed. 9. To make the screed process easier, here’s a trick: take the lumber and notch out on each end the thickness of one of the bricks. Then, place the two notched edges on the edges of the walkway. This will ensure the level of the stone dust if the perfect height to receive the bricks. 10. Compact the screeded stone dust with the tamper. 11. Place the bricks on the walkway in the desired pattern. In the video, Mark installs the walkway in a running bond pattern. 12. Once the bricks are in the correct position, hammer them down with a rubber mallet. Use a level to ensure the bricks line up and the walkway stays flat. 13. Install some plastic edging on both sides of the walkway to ensure the bricks stay in place. 14. Add a final layer of stone dust over the walkway and brush it into the joints with a push brush. 15. Wash off the walkway. Mark prefers to wait for a rainstorm to more naturally wash in the stone dust joints. 16. Add additional layers of stone dust as necessary and wash off the walkway until the joints in the bricks are completely filled and packed down with stone dust. Resources: Depending on the size of the walkway, Mark suggests that it’s easier to break apart the concrete using a pickax and a sledgehammer. For larger walkways, it’s possible to also rent a jackhammer from most home centers. To dispose of the broken up concrete, Mark used Bagster (http://bit.ly/1UJj82Z). These can be purchased at home centers, and then the pickups are scheduled online at their website. The website also includes guidelines for what can be thrown away in the dumpster and where it needs to be placed in order for pickup. The clay bricks Mark installed on the walkway are City Hall Pavers, which can be found, alongside the other masonry materials used to install the walkway, at most brick yards. The rest of the tools used for the installation, including the level, mallet, and plastic edging, can all be found at home centers.

You're teaching a child a new skill. She needs to learn that this is a good thing for her to do. So, in order for her to continue to do this behavior, she needs to get a reward and she also needs to get verbal praise. Once you stop the rewards or the verbal praise, it's possible that your child will regress and stop using the potty. So it's important to use verbal praise and the reward system until your child is having very infrequent accidents. It's important to be behavior specific so that your child knows exactly why she's getting praised. Instead of just saying, "Good job," say, "Great job. You went pee in the potty," so that she knows exactly why you're giving her praise and she will do it again in the future. And that's why it's important to use praise for potty training.

How to Work with Gas Pipes
Ask This Old House plumbing and heating expert Richard Trethewey explains how gas piping is installed in a home. Click here to SUBSCRIBE to the official This Old House YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=thisoldhouse Skill Level: Expert – for licensed professionals only Steps: 1. In general, residential houses start with 1” gas pipes at the gas meter and then branch out to smaller diameter pipes using T fittings as they reach their appliance destinations. 2. To connect gas appliances to the main branch, there are gas pipes that come in a variety of lengths that you can piece together to reach each appliance. They are secured with pipe dope and gas fittings. Because of the way the threads work, piping always has to start at the source and work its way outward towards each appliance. 3. It’s also possible to thread your own gas pipes at the exact length you need if you have a pipe threading tool. 4. Before turning the gas back on, any professional will test for leaks by connecting a manometer to the pipes, locking in the air pressure, and waiting overnight to see if the pressure drops. 5. If the new gas work passes the manometer, a soap test should also be done as the gas is turned back on. If the soap solution bubbles over any of the new work, that means there is a leak. Resources: Richard emphasizes that only a licensed professional should work with gas. The materials they use for gas pipe fittings, including the pipes, nipples, and pipe dope, can be found at home centers and plumbing supply houses.

How to Talk to Children about Divorce | Child Anxiety
No child should suffer depression and anxiety without help, seek professional help for you and your child and here’s some resources for educating yourself along the way: Freeing Your Child from Negative Thinking: http://amzn.to/1jOAGeu How To Get Unstuck From The Negative Muck: http://amzn.to/1Pj1b7O Depression and Your Child: A Guide for Parents and Caregivers: http://amzn.to/1LiG97G What to Do When You're Scared and Worried: A Guide for Kids: http://amzn.to/1jOAOuH What to Do When You Worry Too Much: A Kid's Guide to Overcoming Anxiety: http://amzn.to/1JThS2M Watch more How to Deal with Child Anxiety & Depression videos: http://bit.ly/2Mm96oG I'm here to help you with how to talk to your children about divorce. It's always an incredibly painful topic and time, and so of course it's not something that parents usually want to talk to their children about. But the first thing to think about and realize is that you need to talk to them and involve them. Avoiding it just makes it worse, and children are very perceptive. They sense when there is tension or problems with their parents because they look up to their parents for everything. So it's important to make sure you address it with them. Now there's a few things to keep in mind to help you when you are talking to your kids about it. One is think about their age. A 3 or 4 or 5-year-old is really not going to understand it in quite the same way that a 12 or a 16-year-old does, but they will need to hear the words from you. So you want to use the real words especially because kids are listening to conversations all the time and you have to assume that they are hearing some of these words. You also want to make sure you talk to them when you have some kind of information, and details, and a plan. You may not know everything so you don't want to wait certainly until it's all wrapped up and dates and locations and things are all figured out. At some point when there is going to be a change in the family because of a separation or a divorce, you want to make sure that they are part of that conversation. When you are talking to them in addition to making sure you give them the real information in an age appropriate way. So one thing to say that mom and dad are not going to be living together anymore, but the thing is we will always be taking care of you together. So again what you want to focus on is the information but also then the feeling. Children in particular will always think of few things. They typically think it's their fault. They think, "If I'd only been better behaved, if I only had done my homework more, if I only had cleaned up my room, maybe this wouldn't have happened. They wouldn't have been mad," or, "They wouldn't have been fighting." Whatever it is, kids need to know that it is not their fault. You can probably never reassure them enough about that. They also need to know what's going to change and what's going to stay the same. So they want some reassurance about their life and their environment, and that people are going to take care of them. Because again they think about it in terms of them and you should be thinking about it in terms of them and their world as much as possible. Then depending on the age of the child, you can have them be more or less involved in some of the decision making. Even very young children may have some say and know if you are going to be packing and going back and forth between mom and dad, maybe they pick which toys they bring. Whereas older children may be much more involved in some type of arrangement in terms of custody or living situations, but again respecting their views, their feelings, expecting some of the negative feelings, and being able to talk about it and walk them through as a family as much as possible together will be helpful. Probably the thing that's the hardest sometimes is to make sure that it's the "friendly divorce." And that means that parents as individuals and as partners didn't get along, but as parents for their children, they should do whatever it takes to get along and parent those children together as one unit, even though they don't live together as a unit.

Build It | Rustic Dining Table with Jimmy DiResta
Ask This Old House host Kevin O’Connor returns to Upstate New York to build a farmhouse table with maker Jimmy DiResta. Click here to SUBSCRIBE to the official This Old House YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=thisoldhouse Time: 4-5 hours Cost: $200 Skill Level: Moderate Tools List for Building a Rustic Dining Table: Circular saw Table saw Surface planer Framing square Tenon joiner Rubber mallet Clamps Paintbrush Palm sander Drill Shopping List: Maple slabs Table legs kit Floating tenons Wood glue Stain/paint Sandpaper Rags Wax finish Wood glue Steps: 1. Use the circular saw to cut all the wood slabs to a rough, workable length. 2. Pass the boards through the table saw to straighten the edges. To do this, pass the board through the table saw multiple times and flip the board each time it’s passed through. Do this multiple times until the board is straight along the fence of the saw. 3. Plane all the boards using the surface planer until they are a uniformed, desired thickness. 4. Arrange the boards on a workbench and experiment with each board to see how they best fit and look together. 5. Using the framing square, mark on each board where the floating tenons will join each board together. 6. Use the tenon joiner to cut out holes on each side of the boards on the mark. Some machines have options to make the hole the exact size of the tenon and also slightly larger than the tenon. To ensure and easy but tight fit, cut holes the exact size of the tenon on the left sides of all the boards and cut holes slightly larger than the tenons on the right sides of the boards. 7. Add wood glue into the holes in all the left sides of the boards. Then, hammer in all the floating tenons into those holes with the rubber mallet. 8. Add wood glue to all left sides of the boards and the other side of the hammered in tenons. Spread it out and ensure wood glue covers the entire surface being secured together. 9. Connect the boards together using the floating tenons and the rubber mallet. As each board gets flipped, exposing the right side of the boards, add more wood glue to that side before securing the left side of the next board. 10. Clamp the tabletop together until the glue dries, or about two hours. Once it’s dried, square up the ends with the circular saw and give everything a good sanding. 11. Assemble the legs from the preordered kit. 12. Finish the legs with stain, a finish coat, or paint, based on preference. 13. Apply a finish to the tabletop. In the video, Jimmy applies a wax finish with some rags. 14. Secure the tabletop to the legs and apron using a drill and wood screws. Resources: Jimmy found the spalted maple slabs at Vermont Wildwoods (http://bit.ly/2UaDDZp). The table legs were ordered from TableLegs.com (http://bit.ly/2qPmCsl). To fasten the table together, Jimmy and Kevin used wood glue and floating tenons. The glue is manufactured by Gorilla Glue (www.gorillatough.com ) and the floating tenons are Dominos, which are manufactured by Festool (http://bit.ly/2tQPgLS).

In my opinion, it is highly recommended that you have a colonic or enema while you're detoxing. Remember that a detox isn't a detox, a cleanse is not a cleanse unless the waste actually leaves the body. So by incorporating colonics and enemas, while you're doing a detoxifying diet, will ensure that you have a thorough detoxification result.

How to Build Saw Horses with Scrap Lumber
Ask This Old House carpenter Nathan Gilbert demonstrates how to build saw horses using leftover materials from the jobsite. Click here to SUBSCRIBE to the official This Old House YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=thisoldhouse Time: 1 hour Cost: $0 and up Skill Level: Beginner Tools List for Building a Saw Horse: Measuring tape Miter saw Drill driver Combination square Shopping List: Scrap lumber (or pressure treated wood) Screws Door hinges 550 cord Steps: 1. Measure and mark scrap lumber to cut to length. To keep it easy, pick one measurement and cut all the lumber the same dimensions. 2. Cut the scrap lumber to length using the miter saw. 3. Screw a board perpendicular across two other boards with the drill driver to make the bottom piece of one of the legs. Do the same for the top part of the legs. Keep the top board flush with the top of the legs. 4. Repeat this process for the other set of legs. 5. Screw the hinges to the top board of the legs. Keep the hinge part below the top by about 1/8” so that it won’t interfere with anything you work on while using the saw horses. To keep the measurement consistent, you can use a combination square and drag a pencil across it. 6. Screw the hinges to the other set of legs using the same method. 7. Drill a small hole in the center of the bottom braces of both of the legs. 8. Tie the 550 cord through both of the legs to prevent the legs from bottoming out. Resources: The materials Nathan used to build the saw horses can be pulled from leftover materials from the job site or found at home centers. The tools he used to build them, including the drill driver, chop saw, speed square, and measuring tape, can all be found at home centers. Nathan also used 550 cord to tie the legs together, which can be found at any military surplus store. Expert assistance with this project was provided by Nathan Gilbert Carpentry.

And the brain likes a lot of different things. For example, the brain likes talking. So the more we can build in legal talk time for our students in the class, the better it is for learning. Just noticing how long we've been talking and stopping before we've been talking ten minutes, and saying all right I'm going to pause there students. Turn to the person next to you and talk about what I was just talking about or think of a question about what I was just talking about. Write that down. Now share that with a partner. So the students are talking so that they're brains are getting fed in that way. Another thing the brain likes is movement. The brain likes oxygen and glucose, and the way to get those things in the brain is to increase the circulation in the body. That comes through movement. There's lots of different ways you can incorporate movement into your teaching. You can have the students, instead of turn and talk, stand up turn and talk and sit back down. You can have them stand up and do a couple of jumping jacks or do a lap around the classroom, or bunny hop to turn in their work and then bunny hop back to their desks. There's lots of fun and entertaining ways, but it doesn't have to be that. It can be as simple as stand up, talk and sit back down. But the more movement we incorporate, the better it is for the brain and the better it is for learning. So those are two ideas about increasing your brain compatible instruction in your classroom.

How to Build a Swing Set
Ask This Old House general contractor Tom Silva travels to Colorado to help a couple build a DIY swing set for their young son. Click here to SUBSCRIBE to the official This Old House YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=thisoldhouse Time: 4-5 hours Cost: $1000 and up Skill Level: Moderate Tools List for Building a Swing Set: Measuring tape Speed square Drill driver Hammer Flathead screwdriver Wrench set Shopping List: DIY Play Set kit Play set kit accessories Lumber for swing set frame 4” screws Steps: 1. Measure and mark the locations of the holes for all the swing set accessories across the top beam of swing set. 2. Drill holes all the way through the beam on the marks. It’s important to keep the holes straight, so use a speed square to guide the drill bit. 3. Flip the beam over and insert the T-nuts that come with the play set kit with a hammer. 4. Insert the washers over the brackets for the swings and thread those through the holes into the T-nuts. These also come with the kit. Eventually, you won’t be able to hand tighten anymore, but you can use a screwdriver in the hole of the bracket as leverage to get it the rest of the way down. Be sure to keep the orientation of the hole perpendicular to the beam. 5. Drill the washers into the beam using the drill driver and the provided screws. 6. Assemble the A-frames of the playset using 4x4 lumber. Secure the frame together with 4” screws. 7. Once the frames are assembled, screw the provided brackets to the tops of the A-frames to hold the top beam. 8. Measure, cut, and assemble a platform for the slide. Leave gaps between the boards to allow for rainwater to slide through. 9. Screw the slide platform into two of the A-frames using the four inch screws. 10. Attach the A-frames to the top beam using carriage bolts and nuts that come with the kit. 11. Once the frame is completely assembled, carefully tilt it right-side-up into position. 12. Screw some additional 2x4s to the A-frame on the inside of the slide platform to act as railings. 13. Screw the slide to the platform. To keep the slide from pushing forward, you can add some additional stakes into the ground underneath the bottom of the slide and secure the slide to those stakes. 14.

Testing Drip Edge Installations on Roofing
Ask This Old House general contractor Tom Silva demonstrates the importance of a properly installed drip edge Click here to SUBSCRIBE to the official This Old House YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=thisoldhouse Skill Level: Moderate Steps: 1. A roof without a drip edge can draw water off the roof into the end grain of the sheathing through surface tension, rotting the sheathing, the fascia, and the structure underneath. 2. A metal drip edge will help protect the sheathing under the roof, but if it’s installed too closely to the fascia board, it can still cause water to be drawn into the fascia. 3. The best installation method is to leave a gap between the drip edge and the fascia board, about the width of a finger. The shingles should also overhang the drip edge 3⁄8 to ½ of an inch.

10 Signs Your Child Is Depressed | Child Anxiety
No child should suffer depression and anxiety without help, seek professional help for you and your child and here’s some resources for educating yourself along the way: Freeing Your Child from Negative Thinking: http://amzn.to/1jOAGeu How To Get Unstuck From The Negative Muck: http://amzn.to/1Pj1b7O Depression and Your Child: A Guide for Parents and Caregivers: http://amzn.to/1LiG97G What to Do When You're Scared and Worried: A Guide for Kids: http://amzn.to/1jOAOuH What to Do When You Worry Too Much: A Kid's Guide to Overcoming Anxiety: http://amzn.to/1JThS2M Watch more How to Deal with Child Anxiety & Depression videos: http://bit.ly/2VLErFy I'm going to talk about the signs that your child is depressed. The reality is that children of all ages actually can be depressed. And sometimes it's tricky for parents to figure out what's just a kid being a kid or difficult behavior, and what's a sign of depression. Parents should always keep in mind that if you have any questions or doubts about if your child is depressed, to really get some help, that you don't have to go through this and figure it out on your own. But in general, children as well as teenagers can become depressed. And, yes, they sometimes can look very sad and withdrawn, and those are the things we often associate with depression. But they also may be irritable or angry, and that's often the way depression in young children shows up. It's not them saying, "I'm so sad and hopeless and helpless." That's more what teenagers might say. So with young children, sometimes it's their behavior that tells you that something might be wrong and that they're feeling depressed. So they might not be sleeping well. The signs of depression may vary depending on the age of the child. So young children may show that they're depressed by being irritable or angry, or certainly by being more tired that we sometimes associate with adults. You know, at any age, kids as well as teenagers may not be as interested in activities. They may not be as happy. They may be more withdrawn. They may not want to be hanging out with their friends. They may have trouble sleeping. And especially, you may want to look at when there's changes in behaviors; changes in eating, changes in sleeping, changes in appetite, changing in performance at school, and changes in activity level. With teenagers, it can be a little trickier sometimes, I think, for parents to figure it out and diagnose their child. Teenagers often don't come out and say that, "I'm depressed." They may act it by being more withdrawn, being in their room more. But they sometimes will make excuses for that behavior, and parents may think it's just a teenager being a teenager. Or just because they're on the computer more, that's just what teenagers do. But what you don't know is, what are they doing on the computer? Are they withdrawing from friends? Are they being more...are they turning inward to themselves? Are they acting out and angry because they're not feeling good about themselves? And sometimes, are they happy on the outside, but really struggling so much on the inside? With teenagers, too, something that can happen is they're acting angry, but with them, they may act out. They may use drugs or alcohol or other kinds of things to try and help themselves with those feelings that they're too worried about or embarrassed about talking about with someone. For parents with children of any age, the things to think about and keep in mind when you're concerned if your child is depressed, has there been a change in their behavior? Has it gone on too long? Is it intense? Is your child acting sad and withdrawn? And especially, are they feeling or talking about being hopeless and helpless, like there isn't going to be a better day? I think parents are often concerned -- parents should be concerned when a child talks about hurting themselves, because you don't know how serious that is. And you need to take it seriously because it may mean that they need help with how they're feeling. And you don't want that feeling to turn into a behavior that is self-destructive. So in general, when you're worried about a child who's withdrawn, who's not enjoying things they used to be doing, who's by themselves, who's not connecting, who's changed their eating and their sleeping behaviors, you want to think about checking it out with a professional. Better to talk through what's going on with a professional, and find the best way to help your child.

Why Making a Calendar is so Hard | HTME Minisode

The calendar is a tool that tracks cycles more than it tracks time. It tracks the cycles of the earth spinning on its axis, the earth spinning around the sun, and the moon spinning around the earth. Early calendars that tracked the cycles of the moon (crescent moon to full moon) were called Lunar Calendars. Early calendars that track the cycle of the earth traveling around the sun is called a Solar Calendar. The calendar that we use today is called the Gregorian Calendar, and is a "Luna Solar Calendar", meaning it has combined elements of both calendars...but, in a nutshell, that is why some creative math is required to make the two cycles synchronize. || In This Video || Our Camera Gear: - GH4: https://goo.gl/Kpgf9D - FS5: https://goo.gl/aPd428 - Dracast Light Panels: https://goo.gl/agbBSU - GoPro Hero 5: https://goo.gl/nDbjBk - Karma Drone: https://goo.gl/F16GWj || SUBSCRIBE || YouTube Channel: http://bit.ly/1OmesgS || SUPPORT || Patreon - http://bit.ly/1RzRaSL Spreadshirt - http://bit.ly/1OX2KHI Special Thanks to our Patrons at $15 per month or higher: Stian Andreassen, Daniel Laux, Liz Roth, Antonio Rios-Ochoa, Jenny Wolf-Matte, Quintin, Tim Reiche, Mats Nydesjö, Dylan Rich, Jason Lewis, Susan M.

Common Water Heater Myths Answered
Ask This Old House plumbing and heating expert Richard Trethewey shares some advice on maintaining water heaters Click here to SUBSCRIBE to the official This Old House YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=thisoldhouse Cost: $10 and up Skill Level: Beginner Shopping List: Anode rod Steps: 1. Look for a rating plate on the water heater that will tell when the tank was manufactured and the warranty life. Tanks that have reached the end of their warranty period are more likely to fail. 2. If you’re planning to change to a different style water heater, like going from a tank-style to a tankless, its better to change proactively. 3. Water heaters placement will also help determine when it should be replaced. A water heater in the living area or a finished basement could do more damage if it floods than one in an unfinished basement. 4. By proactively changing the anode rod in a tank style water heater every few years, a tank can be kept in service for many years. If the anode rod isn’t changed in the first few years of the water heater’s life, it may be impossible to remove later. 5. Periodically drain the water heater by attaching a hose to the draw off at the bottom of the tank, turn the water supply off, and then turn the water supply off and on a few times quickly. 6. If you notice a leak on the floor, turn off the water supply, attach a hose to the draw off, and drain the tank below the level of the leak. Call a plumber to replace the water heater. Resources: Richard explains that most tank type water heaters last for about 8-12 years. However, by changing the anode rod every 2 years, you can make the hot water tank last for as long as 30 years. They can be found at home centers. All types of water heaters can be found at home centers and plumbing supply houses.

How Can I Be Effective without Anger? | Anger Management
Want to get a grip on your Anger? Check out these resources: Beyond Anger: How to Free Yourself from the Grip of Anger: http://amzn.to/1VFo0CA The Anger Workbook: http://amzn.to/1FXmxpi Anger Management For Dummies: http://amzn.to/1VFokRC The Cow in the Parking Lot: A Zen Approach to Overcoming Anger: http://amzn.to/1QZTMcb Anger Management for Everyone: Seven Proven Ways to Control Anger: http://amzn.to/1Om49ro Watch more Anger Management videos: http://bit.ly/2D1Dul5 So another frequently asked question is, "If I give up anger, how can I be effective without it?" This is in fact a very good question because one of the most difficult issues at trying to get people to let go of anger and anger-related behaviors is that they are very effective. One thing that we know is that in the short-term, anger can be quite reinforcing when we're talking about the behaviors. One, even though it's a negative emotion, interestingly the only emotion that people want to control less is joy. So let's think about that for a minute. It's a negative emotion, but people are less likely to want to change it than anything else except joy. So that makes it pretty difficult for people to let go of. One reason may be that there is some degree of sort of righteousness associated with it. If I'm really angry, I might believe that I am justified, and I'm right, and there may be even some moral superiority involved. The second piece though is it's seems to work in terms of if I engage in the behaviors that my anger is sort of telling me to do which might be yelling and that kind of thing, I often times do get compliance in the short-term. That might be true for subordinates at work. It also might be true in my family. It could even be if I'm threatening someone on the streets. If I'm getting an effective compliance or coercive strategy to work by doing that, I might believe if I give it up, I'm not going to be able to get my children in fact to mind me. And so when clients ask that question, what we have to do is we have to teach them alternative skills and so that requires learning better parenting strategies or more effective management styles at work, because what we know is even though and they're right anger might be working for them in the short run, one they're putting their physical health at risk, two even though these people are complying when they are present, they're likely not complying when they aren't present and they might be building resentments and the very people that they ultimately want to respect them and to follow the rules when they're not around. This concept is an important one that we get anger management clients in fact to give up, but in order to do that, we have to show them their alternative ways to communicate and alternative ways to sort of shape behaviors of other people other than using sort of intimidating behavioral tactics that are related to anger.
