Build It | Reclaimed Wine Rack

Ask This Old House general contractor Tom Silva and host Kevin O’Connor build a wine rack out of a reclaimed beam. Click here to SUBSCRIBE to the official This Old House YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=thisoldhouse Cost: $500 Skill Level: Moderate Tools List for Building a Wine Rack: Miter saw Surface planer Clamps Table saw Metal detector Router Palm sander Drill Pocket hole jig Mortising drill Air compressor Brad nailer Block plane Shopping List: Preferred lumber for base, top, and rails Wood glue 150 grit sandpaper Wood screws Floating tenons Brad nails Steps: 1. If using old wood, start by checking the pieces for old nails using a metal detector and pull them out before they damage any of the tools for the project. 2. Start by cutting pieces for the top of the wine rack to size with the miter saw. 3. Fasten the top of the wine rack together using wood glue and clamps. While the glue dries, work on the rest of the rack. 4. Rip the legs down to 2”x2” using the table saw. Then, run all the legs through the surface planer as well. Turn each leg to ensure all four sides are smooth, but also stay square. 5. Use the router to cut stop dados in the legs to accept the wood for the back and sides. 6. Cut 1” stiles for the sides and back of the wine rack. Make dado cuts with the router to accept the lumber for the rails. 7. Cut the lumber being used for the rails to size using the table saw. Make rabbet cuts in the lumber using the router. 8. Give all the pieces a light sanding using the palm sander and 150 grit sandpaper. 9. Drill out pocket holes in the rails and then assemble the legs, stiles, and rails together using the dado slots. Secure all the pieces together with the pocket screws. 10. Cut the pieces for the racks down to 1x1”. Measure and mark the front and back pieces of the rack so that the dividers in the middle are evenly spaced across the rack. 11. Cut mortises for the floating tenons in the marked locations on the front and back pieces, and on the ends of the dividers. 12. Assemble the racks using wood glue and the floating tenons. 13. Secure the racks to one side using the brad nailer. Then, slide the back panel into the legs and secure those with pocket screws. 14. Add the other side to the wine rack and secure the racks to that side with the brad nailer as well. 15. To make the glass holders, cut a few pieces of wood roughly the size of the racks. Turn the angle of the table saw blade out 15 degrees and cut the wood so it has a V shape on one side. Keep the other side straight. Ease over the curved edges with a block plane. 16. Cut more pieces of wood to the same size but keep them flat on all sides. Glue those pieces to the V pieces so they become an upside down T shape. 17. Cut some support pieces the width of the wine rack. Line up all the upside down T glass holders evenly along the support pieces. Then, nail the upside down Ts to the support pieces with the brad nailer. 18. Slide the wine glass holder rack into the wine rack and secure it with more brad nails. 19. Once the top has dried, screw it onto the rest of the rack using wood screws. 20. Apply a desired finish and allow the finish to dry. Resources: The wood glue Tom used to assemble the top and some of the other pieces of the rack are manufactured by Gorilla Glue (https://ift.tt/2F2mNnD).

And while you might not have been the source of them feeling unsafe, you've inherited that feeling and when they don't trust adults to come through for them to be safe and structured and consistent, to hold them accountable for their behavior and their progress, but without beating up on them, or humiliating them, or being confrontational with them, when they don't trust us to do that for them, they act out in class. There might be a lot of things behind that that we can't do anything about. Their home situation might be awful and there's really nothing we can do about that, but there are things that we can do for them in our classroom. And where we wanna start is by thinking about how we can be safe, structured and consistent. The number one thing I would say related to that is don't yell at kids. Don't be sarcastic with kids. Yelling and sarcasm, these things only make students feel less safe and less like we're on their side when they're already clearly struggling with issues outside of school, or they wouldn't be acting that way in school. So, assume the best about your students. They wanna do better, they don't wanna be acting out, they don't wanna be misbehaving and they need our help to figure out how they can work with us without having to display those behaviors in order to get our attention or do well in our classes.

TOH: Trade School- Exclusive Preview of Human Centered Design, Demolition!

Tom and Roger are underway with site work so that our doorways can eventually be level with the ground, requiring no steps. Inside, demolition is underway, and on the second floor, it has revealed bizarre and unsafe framing from a previous renovation that will need to be fixed. At the small kitchen bump out, excavation is complete, and the footings are in progress. Architect Sally DeGan shows Kevin that in her practice, accessible homes don't have to be institutional, they just need a short list of key considerations—one-floor living, room to get around, good lighting, no thresholds, and barrier-free showers. Back in Essex, a few weeks later, the foundation for the addition is complete, as well as the first floor platform and gable end of the kitchen. Before work can progress, Norm, Tom, and Kevin need to remove the bad shed dormer. They make quick work of it with careful demo and a 60-foot boom lift. Meanwhile, Roger shows the progress on the retaining walls that will support the new patio. Then, Norm, Tom, and Kevin frame up the steeply pitched roof of the kitchen addition starting with the ridge beam and then all of the rafters, one by one.

How to Deal w/ an Out-of-Control Class | Classroom Management

Need more resources for molding young minds? THE Classroom Management Book: http://amzn.to/1FXoDpb Setting Limits in the Classroom: http://amzn.to/1Pj0iMN Classroom Management: Real-World, Time-Tested Techniques: http://amzn.to/1Q8s4JV The Social--Emotional Learning Approach Children Deserve: http://amzn.to/1L0l6p3 Classroom Management for Elementary Teachers: http://amzn.to/1FTGdKQ Watch more Classroom Management Strategies videos: https://ift.tt/2FwDCJy How to deal with an out-of-control class? When it feels like your whole class is out of control, there's probably a lot of different things going on, but a place to start is to think about whether the couple of key procedures you could be teaching and reinforcing that would take care of the biggest problem you're having inside of that out of control. For example, you might need to re-teach, or re-introduce, or re-practice a getting quiet signal. How do you get students back focused on you? There's a lot of different ways to do that. You can use a sound signal like a chime that indicates, "Everybody quiet down and eyes on me." You can do a call-and-response thing, a common one at elementary school is where the teacher says, "One, two, three. Eyes on me." And the students say, "One, two. Eyes on you." And then their eyes are on you. There's a school I'm working with where the whole school has used the same quiet signal so that the teacher says, "Eyes," and the students clap once. And the teacher says, "Ears," and the students clap twice. And then they're supposed to be quiet and eyes on. Whether you're using a call-and-response, or you're using a sound signal, or you're using a physical activity, it doesn't matter. It's not that any one of those is more or less effective than the other one. It's all in the way you introduce it, you re-enforce it, and then you practice it with your students. If they're not getting quiet when you play the chime, or they're repeating, "One, two. Eyes on you," when you say, "One, two, three. Eyes on me," then you need to practice that procedure, and that procedure itself needs to become the lesson, needs to become the content. Kids who are not getting quiet the way I need it to happen, so we're going to practice the way it's supposed to happen. You re-introduce it, they practice it. let's practice. Everybody turn to the person next to you. Take 49 seconds to talk about trees. Right? And then you do the signal and they quiet down and you debrief. It's a lesson in and of itself. Once you can get your students quiet and focused on you the way you want and when you want, a lot of that classroom chaos can be taken care of inside of that. The other thing I would recommend is starting with your beginning routine. How does the students come into your room, sit down and get started on something at the very beginning of the day, if you're elementary, or of the period, if you're secondary? Once you have that particular procedure down smoothly, a lot of other things will tend to go more smoothly throughout the day. So, again, you want to this procedure as if it is the content. "Students, what I want from you when you come into the room is I want you to come in, sit down in your chairs. I want you to take out your homework, I want you to take out your silent reading book, or I want you to take out your journal. I want you to start up the warm-up activity. I want you sitting on the carpet." Whatever it is that you want from them. Tell them what it is. Show them what it looks like. Yourself modeling it. Have a couple of kids go outside, come back in, and model it for the entire class, and then have the entire class practice it. "All right, class. Stand up. Go to the edge of the room. Pretend like class has just begun. Come in. Sit down. Open your journals and begin the warm-up prompt in silence. Let's try it. Go." Okay, and see what comes of that. Debrief with them. Try it again. When you get that first thing, the first warm-up activity or the way you want your class to begin down the way you want it, with the kids doing it the way you want it, the rest of your day will go more smoothly and you will have the confidence from seeing how that works out to bring that kind of enthusiasm to the teaching of other procedures that can help you control that classroom chaos.

I'm the author of "Secrets, Tips, and Tricks of a Powerful Memory" and I'd like to address the question, "What is the mnemonic system?" And in truth, the mnemonic system is any artificial system to help your natural memory. Natural memory is that which you retain without trying. You're walking by something. You see it, and it's there without your having tried. You meet someone and that someone is perhaps important to you, and you don't think to try to remember their name but you may remember it anyway. That's your natural memory. It's hit or miss. So what we do is apply various techniques. Many of them are within this video series. There's the body part technique. And the loci technique. And the rhyming technique. And many many more. Those mechanical devices to help you picture things, focus and picture things. Those represent all, collectively, mnemonics.

How to Use the Body Part System | Memory Techniques

And I'd like to tell about a very easy system for remembering things from one to ten by the numbers. and you'll be able to use this anytime, anyplace. And the hints, the clues, the things that you will look for to remember are with you all the time. It's your body parts. I'm going to be very specific about it because it can lead to more advanced systems, if you want to try them as well. What I'm going to do is start at the very bottom and go up my body, starting with my big toe. Number one is toe. Kind of looks like a number one, a fat number one, if you will. Number one is toe. Number two is knee. Toe, knee. Number three is midsection. Number four, ribs or ribcage. Number five, larynx. So going back down is larynx, ribs, midsection, knee, and toe. And now, I'll go on, but I think you'll agree that it won't take you any time at all to have those with you forever. And now we'll do the upper group of five. Chin and jaw is number six. Cornea is number seven. Forehead is number eight. Brain or pate. . .Pate is an old-fashioned word, but it's very valid for the top of the head. . .is number nine. And then an interesting thing happens. For number ten, we're going to go down to the toes. We're going to add an s to toe, the way we add a zero to one to make ten. So again, now going down, we start with toes number ten, brain and pate number nine, forehead number eight, cornea number seven, chin and jaw number six, larynx number five, ribcage number four, midsection number three, knee number two, and toe number one. Now, how can this help us? Well, let's say we wanted to learn and remember the basics of the Bill of Rights of the United States Constitution for a class or just because it's good to know. I'm going to pick out a simple picture for each of those things and tie it to my new body part number. The first item, the first amendment in the Bill of Rights, is the the freedom of speech and assembly and religion. And if I want to tie that to my toe, I know what I'll do because everything that we do is based on silly pictures, outrageous pictures, wacky pictures. I'm going to picture my toe walking into a house of worship, going up to the front, and delivering a sermon. My toe, my six-foot-tall toe, is delivering a sermon from the front of this house of worship. Well, it's not really a sermon. It's reading it from a newspaper to the people who are assembled there. So when I want to know the first amendment, well, number is toe. What was my toe doing? Well, if I've seen that picture. . .And I've just said those words. But if I've seen that picture of my toe in a house of worship, freedom of religion; giving a speech, freedom of speech; reading it from a newspaper, freedom of the press; to the assembled people, freedom of assembly, I've got the basics of the first amendment. Number two on my body part list is knee. The second amendment to the Constitution, as most of us know, is the right to bear arms. Yes, it's being debated regularly, and I'm not here to say if it is or isn't interpreted correctly. But I am here to say to remember what number two is. I'm going to take something regarding weaponry, and I'm going to do something with my knee, number two. As a matter of fact, I'm going to take a rifle butt and crack open a knee. That's violent. A violent picture will help you remember. You passed 500 cars on your way to work today. The one that you remember is the one that was racked up on a telephone pole. Violence helps us remember. Silly things, funny things, incongruous things help us remember. So number two, that was my knee cracked open by a rifle butt. The third amendment to the United States Constitution prohibits the government from quartering soldiers in your home. This doesn't sound like something that could be really important, but bear in mind that in the 1770s, when we were worried about the British in America and their soldiers taking over the homes of the colonists, it was very important. So an amendment was built in that said the United States government could not take over your home and quarter soldiers. How a

When you have a child diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder, I always want you to remember yourself as the primary caretaker. You need to look after yourself to be able to look after your child. And parents often forget that. It is such an issue to do everything. Your heart is out there with your child and you want to do everything possible. But doing it on a gradient and remembering that this is a marathon not a sprint. You have to take breaks. You have to pace yourself. You have to build up stamina. You have to get yourself supports and you have to take a break. There's a lot of stress in the marriage and you nobody else will care for your child the way the two of you do. You have to support each other. Often there becomes so much pain that you end up taking it out at times on the person closest to you and it's important to be aware of that. That there is going to be denial, sadness, anger, and a lot of frustration that comes along, but also a lot of joy as you come together and work with helping your child. But in doing so, remember to help each other and yourselves. Whether it's going for a massage, or helping the other one go off and run track if that's what he wants to do or if she wants to go and be with girlfriends, remember to give each other space and support each other’s interests. Not get into the guilt, shame, blame game. Another very important thing is to take time out for yourselves and for your marriage because often that gets put on the back burner. This is so strained that much that it can bond parents together because this is so crucial to you and you have this bond together with your child. You have the joys together but also the anguishes together. You need to get out, see a movie, get some childcare, get extended family, develop babysitting and get a parents support group. I think that's very important to help other parents but also get support from other parents because you have something to give and you also have something to learn and to share. And I think this is very crucial because you have to heal the healer in the sense because the parent is the 24-hour healer. You are there all the time with your child. And so you have a very primal, pivotal role and you have to been in good shape because your depression, your exhaustion will affect your child. So you need to do it almost like a prescription. It's like in the airplane, you first give oxygen to yourself and then to your child. If you can't look after yourself, you’re not going to be able to look after your child as well. So remember that and give yourself a breather and give yourself a break and a pat on the back sometimes for all that you have done and are doing and a hug to each other.

Effective Consequences for Misbehavior | Classroom Management

Well, I guess those that work are the most effective. There is no one consequence that is more or less effective than other consequences. There's no magic bullet. There's no one thing. It's a lot more complex than that. But what I can say about choosing consequences is try to choose a lot of different things that you might be able to pick from so that you can have maximum flexibility when you're trying to implement those consequences with your students. You want to have a series, a tier of mild things like proximity or saying the students name or giving them the teacher look or touching they're desk lightly or giving them a quiet reminder. Lots of things on that first mild tier of consequences that you can use to redirect student off-task behaviors. Then you want to have a tier of moderate things: change of seat, call home, time out in the back of the room, more moderate things that lets the student know that things have escalated a little bit and that they are moving up a hierarchy. But still, I want to have some choice about what things I put on my hierarchy at each level and I want to have some flexibility in what I choose for each student, because every student is different. If you're looking for things to put on your hierarchy and you're at a loss of what to choose, I encourage you to check out our book "Conscious Classroom Management," because in the chapter on consequences, we have four pages that just lists consequences. They're not in hierarchy form. They're just a long list of consequences. So if you're having trouble picking out new things or thinking about what else could be mild, what else could be moderate, that's a great resource for finding some new or different ideas. That's how you choose the most effective consequences.

How to Install Solar Panels with Microinverters

Ask This Old House home technology expert Ross Trethewey shows host Kevin O’Connor how to install solar panels on the AskTOH workshop roof. Click here to SUBSCRIBE to the official This Old House YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=thisoldhouse Time: 1 day Cost: $10,000 and Up Skill Level: Professional Only Steps: 1. Before considering solar panels, a contractor can analyze if a rooftop is a good fit. The ideal roof is pitched 30-40 degrees, faces south, and is free of shading obstructions like trees. If all of these aren’t met, solar may still be an option, but production may be limited. 2. Lag and flash roof stanchions into the roof structure. 3. Attach the aluminum racking to the stanchions. 4. Solar panels create DC power, but houses require AC power, so an inverter of some kind must be installed. Microinverters allow each panel to create individual power, and the array will still work if a panel is shaded or malfunctions. 5. Microinverters attach to the aluminum racking and then get wired to a trunk cable. 6. The panels get wired to the microinverters, then mounted to the racking system. Resources: A rooftop solar array should be installed by a professional contractor. The microinverters that connect to a web interface for energy monitoring are manufactured by Enphase Energy (https://ift.tt/1gao2EH).

Once your child is using the potty consistently for urine, if he's not pooping in the potty, then you can do a separate bowel training. First of all you want to determine the pattern. When does he typically have a bowel movement? Is it related to a time, a place, a person present, an activity or recent food or drink? You want to make note of all this bowel movements for two weeks. Once you determine a pattern, using that data, then you know when you can train him. For instance, if your child typically poops around 8 a.m., then you want to get him settled on the potty about ten minutes before his typical bowel movement. And want him stay on the potty until he has the bowel movement. You also want to make sure that you've got plenty of rewards, so that when he does finally have a bowel movement in the potty you can give him a reward. And you also want to make sure you have plenty of things for him to do while he's sitting on the potty. Because it could take ten minutes or it could take two hours. It really depends upon the child. It's really important that you give him something to do, so he doesn't get bored and start refusing to sit on the potty. Some kids refuse to poop in the potty and become constipated. If that's the issue, then you need to figure out why they don't want to use the potty to go poop. Is there a fear of the potty? Is it uncomfortable? Do they not have a reason to go poop in the potty? You want to figure out the fear, and then you want to fix the problem. So those are some strategies for getting your child fully bowel trained. [Music]

When Can I Sit Down after Butt Lift? | Plastic Surgery

Considering Plastic Surgery? Check out these resources: The Smart Woman's Guide to Plastic Surgery: http://amzn.to/1GwD0vI Plastic Surgery Without the Surgery: The Miracle of Makeup: http://amzn.to/1JTbHf2 Navigate Your Beauty: Smart and Safe Plastic Surgery Solutions: http://amzn.to/1Om2u5n Essentials of Plastic Surgery: http://amzn.to/1RubNA2 Watch more Plastic Surgery Guide videos: https://ift.tt/2SPBPDL We are discussing butt lift procedures and specifically fat grafting to the butt. When I perform fat grafting to a patients buttock, I am commonly asked how long a patient has to go without sitting down and the answer to that question is based on both the anatomy of sitting and the anatomy of where the fat is placed. So, when a human being sits, the majority of the pressure that is placed on the buttock is placed in an area where we do not place fat during buttock augmentation. Therefore, based on the way that I perform this procedure and what I tell my patients is that usually they can sit on their buttock for limited periods of time as soon as the procedure is complete. This is because, again, the location of the fat is not really the location of the greatest amount of pressure when sitting. In addition to the fact that when we inject fat into the buttock, we inject it in very small, thin tunnels and the fat that we inject is surrounded by the normal tissue that exists in the buttock. So, since we have the small, fine lines of grafted fat within the buttock, a small amount of pressure is not going to significantly displace the fat. There are multiple tunnels and multiple linear grafts of fat that should really not be effected when sitting. So, based on the way that I perform this procedure, I generally tell my patients that for a limited amount of time, they can sit almost immediately after surgery.

Detroit | Plumbing Road Trip: 3821

It can be the crowd, it can be the street int he situation of this streetcar, unfortunately no named to desire in New Orleans. I took that photo screaming "Stella!" at the top of my voice, just kidding. It's one of the easiest things to do in photography, but one of the hardest things to get right and that's that sense of panning. It's really important to have a relatively medium shutter speed, 1/6 of a second, 1/8 of a second, 1/10 of a second, or thereabouts, and track your subject perfectly. As you're tracking your subject, and if you're steady, and keeping it straight, and working at the same speed, your subject will remain in focus, and the street will disappear. It's a lot easier with things like sports, where perhaps your subject is not moving as quick, but when you can get it right with something like a streetcar, or a car, or a plane, even better. So, blurring in sports and action, really easy to do, but it takes a little bit of practice to get there. In sports however, you might want that action frozen, and that's really going to come down to a very fast shutter speed. The faster the shutter speed, the faster you can freeze absolutely any moment in time. You'll notice here on this photograph that we've made it so fast, that the ball is just visible, frozen in all it's glory, and keep in mind, in those pictures, they throw that ball pretty fast, 90 miles an hour, definitely, you don't want to get caught driving that fast. So, it's very easy to create life in a photograph, through panning, and freeze motion, and avoid blur, by having that really nice shutter speed.

People need to remember that just because you have a craving, that doesn't mean you're going to drink or have to drink. There's a couple of ways of trying to control cravings. One way is through medication. We have a medication called Naltrexone, which is given to people specifically to target cravings. Naltrexone, for some people, works very, very well at controlling their cravings, and other people report that it doesn't help their cravings at all. But we often also help people get through their cravings. There's a technique that's sometimes called urge surfing, where people have an urge to drink. And what we do is we help people visualize a wave. And what happens with waves? Waves build, they build up just like a craving. They build up and build up, and then they break, and they end, and they abate. Well that's what we help people see. That's what's going to happen with a craving. It's gonna build and build, but we help people have the confidence that that craving will stop. It'll feel bad, but it will ease off. So that's more of a cognitive and behavioral way of helping people get through cravings. So again, one can try medication like Naltrexone to help control cravings, but the other way is to really learn some techniques to get through the craving. And for people to remember, most people will have cravings, and that's okay. You don't have to drink in response to a craving.

TOH: Trade School- Exclusive Preview of A Cottage in The Woods!

The second project of the season finds Norm and Kevin back on Cape Ann, this time in the scenic riverside town of Essex, Massachusetts. Not far from the antique shops and clam shacks downtown is a 1935 English-style cottage in the woods that homeowners John and Julie Corco-ran hope to turn into an accessible in-law residence for Julie's aging parents. Norm finds lots of deferred maintenance, rot, a failing roof and windows, and some strange architectural choices, like the giant shed dormer that is out of sync with the rest of the cottage. Inside, Julie shows Kevin what she loves about the house and how she plans to make it comfortable and accessible for her parents, with all the necessary amenities on the first floor. John shows Roger the large yard and how they'd like to keep the many trees, shrubs and perennials, while getting rid of the ratty vegetable garden and runaway forsythia. Architect Sally DeGan reviews the renovation plan with Tom and Kevin with the help of a highly detailed 3D model. Roger gets to work clearing small junk trees and the forsythia so Tom can begin work on the addition.

TOH: Trade School- Exclusive Preview of The Big Finish!

Norm finds Tom reinstalling a little piece of nostalgia from the old house: an old-school door-bell that the homeowners wanted to keep. Next, Kevin finds Sally and kitchen designer Kathy Marshall settling Sally's stuff into her new kitchen and showing off its functional features: appliances, storage, sink, faucet, chopping block drawer, and even a hideaway step stool. Down-stairs, Kevin finds John with no man cave, but rather great space for the kids, a workshop of his own, and Richard, who's given him high efficiency mechanicals. Richard welcomes back energy auditor Jimmy Seaborg to see how we did on tightening up the building. Norm recaps the work on the 3rd floor roof deck and then meets interior designer Andrew Terrat for a tour of the master suite. The second floor is all about the kids so Sally shows Kevin the highly functional laundry, and how the girls each had a say in the colors and details of their own rooms. The heart of the project is really the first floor. Designer Dee Elms walks Kevin through the entry foyer, hallway/mudroom, powder room, built-in hutch, living room, and dining room. As An-drew shows Kevin the highlights of the kitchen, the crew and homeowners gather for one last hurrah...until the newly installed doorbell rings! Everyone flows out onto the front porch for a last look at the exterior and a farewell cheer with the neighbors.

TOH: Trade School- Exclusive Preview of Secondary Spaces!

Kevin arrives to find Roger finishing up the driveway and the planting. Inside, Norm finds the first floor nearly complete—and very white—except for the small powder room where wallpaper installer Mike Bradshaw is putting up a bold hand-drawn wave pattern made in England. We see his technique for cutting and installing around the new blue vanity. Tom turns his atten-tion to the basement, where he meets homeowner John Stone to help him make a simple DIY workshop with materials from the home center. They make a workbench out of a solid core door and add pegboard for tool storage. Local glass artist Carrie Gustafson invites Norm into her workshop to see how she translates her background in printmaking and her love of natural, organic forms into magical pieces to hold the light, like the fixture she's making for the entry foyer at our project. Downstairs, at the end of the day, automation expert Doug Schmidt shows Kevin how he's provided wireless control for the battery- powered window shades, the first floor lighting and music.
