How to Use a Paint Sprayer

Ask This Old House painter Mauro Henrique gives a tutorial on how to set up and work with a paint sprayer 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 Using a Paint Sprayer: Paint Sprayer [https://amzn.to/2HPLXco] Bucket [https://amzn.to/2W0hpi0] Shopping List: Drop cloths [https://amzn.to/2X2gwSv] Painter’s tape [https://amzn.to/2VZj33w] Steps: 1. Using a paint sprayer can help give a smooth finish in a short amount of time, but it can be messier than a regular paint job. Start by covering the entire work area with plastic drop cloths and painter’s tape. 2. Before spraying with paint, prime the sprayer. a. Turn the valve to “prime” on the side of the sprayer. b. Set the painting tube into the can of paint. c. Set the clear priming tube into the empty bucket. d. Turn the sprayer on and wait until there are no more bubbles coming out in the bucket. 3. Set the spray hose and turn the valve to “paint” on the side of the sprayer. 4. Spray the paint into the priming bucket until there is no more water or bubbles coming out. 5. Attach the spray guard on top of the nozzle and begin painting. 6. While spraying, keep the gun parallel and the same distance away from the surface that’s being painted. 7. Apply the paint in long, broad strokes for an even finish. Overlap each stroke by about 50%. 8. After the paint job is finished, replace the paint can with a clean bucket of water and reverse the priming process to clean out the sprayer and the tube. Resources: To demonstrate paint spraying techniques, Mauro used a Titan Impact 640 Skid Airless Paint Sprayer (https://amzn.to/2HzK58J).

How to Patch a Hole in a Brick Wall

Ask This Old House mason Mark McCullough travels to Denver to patch a hole in a brick wall Click here to SUBSCRIBE to the official This Old House YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=thisoldhouse Time: 4-6 hours Cost: $150 Skill Level: Moderate to Difficult Tools List for Patching a Brick Wall: Safety glasses [https://amzn.to/2QhziTi] Angle grinder [https://amzn.to/2HAh0dn] HEPA vacuum [https://amzn.to/2ErI5NS] Hammer [https://amzn.to/30EKJcE] Masonry brush [https://amzn.to/2VKE4tq] Bucket [https://amzn.to/2W0hpi0] Trowel [https://amzn.to/2VVYrsG] Tuck pointer [https://amzn.to/2QlUXtr] Concave jointer [https://amzn.to/2VNbOXo] Shopping List: Replacement bricks Dust mask [https://amzn.to/2X4C5BM] Type N mortar [https://amzn.to/2Et2IJj] Steps: 1. Start by identifying any bricks that have been cut for the hole. Any bricks that are no longer full sized should be removed. 2. To remove the smaller bricks, cut along the mortar lines closest to the brick that’s being removed using an angle grinder. To keep the dust down, use a grinder with a vacuum attachment and connect it to a HEPA vacuum. These tools can be rented from the home center if you don’t have them. 3. Once the mortar lines have been cut, carefully hit the bricks out of place with a hammer. Watch the mortar lines near bricks that aren’t being cut out. If there’s resistance, it’s possible those bricks will end up damaged and will need to get cut out as well. 4. Once the bricks and the mortar have been removed, wipe away any excess dust with a masonry brush. 5. Wet the masonry brush and do a second pass on the wall. 6. Now it’s time to put the bricks into place. Start by mixing up the mortar in the bucket with water until it’s at roughly an oatmeal consistency. 7. Scoop some of the mortar onto the trowel and then lay it onto the brick wall. 8. Add some mortar to one side of the replacement brick. Then, place it on top of the bed joint just laid in the previous step. Wiggle it into place and gently tap it using the back side of the trowel until it lines up with the other bricks in its row. 9. Continue this process with the rest of the replacement bricks until the hole is filled. 10. Use the tuck pointer to fill in all the joints as deep as possible. 11. Slick down all the new joints using the concave jointer. 12. Wipe off any excess mortar on the face of the bricks using the masonry brush. 13. Once all the excess mortar is off, do a final slick with the concave jointer. Resources: For such a small repair, it may be a challenge to get a mason to fix the brick wall, so Mark suggests renting a few tools and tackling a project of this size on your own. To find matching brick, take a picture, identify a nearby brick yard, and show someone there the picture. It’s likely they will recognize the brick and be able to give you a few that you need for little money. In this case, Mark went to Summit Brick Company (http://bit.ly/30W1hNt) and they were able to find what he needed. Depending on the hole in the wall, it’s likely that surrounding bricks or mortar may need to be carefully removed. An angle grinder with a vacuum attachment can be rented from most home centers and should help keep the dust down. Mark used a 5” angle grinder [https://amzn.to/2VKfFnW] with tuck pointing guard and a 9 gallon dust extractor [https://amzn.to/2X9Pysl] with automatic cleaning, both manufactured by Bosch Tools. For mortar, Mark used a Type N premixed mortar bag [https://amzn.to/2JDjhXp], which is manufactured by Quikrete. All the other tools required for this project, including the trowel, masonry brush, and jointers, can all be found at home centers.

How to Help a Homesick Camper | 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/2W1mxgS I'm here to talk about how to help a homesick camper. I think we always think that camp is supposed to be fun and terrific and you send your kids off as if they're going to have the time of their life but we all know that some kids don't adjust as easily as others. There are those kids that jump feet first or head first into the water then there are those other kids that really do tiptoe in and then once they get in the water is fine. I think the trick about a homesick camper is to figure out if your child is going to dive in, tiptoe in and gradually adjust or if they're just never going to get there. You have to do something else. The one key you want to think about in terms of homesick campers is first you. You don't want to be a child sick parent. So, is some of the homesickness about your difficulty letting go of your child and putting them in the care of someone else to have a good time for the summer? You want to think about that first whenever something comes up about your child having a hard time. With kids that are at camp, especially for the first time but sometimes it's a second or third time and it's a new camp. You want to first listen to what they're saying and not jump to any conclusions, especially if it’s in the first couple of days that they're there because it may just be the new situation jitters that they have to adjust to. Listen to it, think about it. Maybe consult with the camp about it because you want to know is this a child that is just having an adjustment problem or is this a very bad fit for your child and the camp or is there something worrisome going on? Is there a bully situation or is there a bad camp style for your child. After you've listened and if it still goes on, I think you want to do a little more investigating. One thing is use your eyes and your ears. Your eyes, what happens is sometimes camps now have the pictures that they post of kids online during the day. Your child may be saying it's awful, I'm sitting around and nobody is playing with me and then you see pictures of them at the soccer game or at a campfire. You want to match what it is that they're saying to you and what it is that they are actually displaying. That's one great way to do a reality check with everyone. You do want to check with the camp itself. They're trained in how to help kids. It's in their best interest to have kids happy and to have parents happy. They do what they can to make sure it's a good fit and good situation. You want to talk to them about what is really going on and talk about what kind of strategies they have for helping your child feel better or feel more accepted and involved. Maybe it’s a change in the schedule that they have. Maybe it is a change in the cabin and maybe it's just give it a couple of more days, we've seen this before. Then, at the end of the day, if you really do feel that it's a bad situation for whatever reason, then you do have to think seriously about there's no value in helping a homesick camper that is really a child that is very stressed and it's a bad situation for your child as a camper. Then, see what you can do about possibility bring that child home not as a failure to your child but just as, it's a great think that we try this, we learned a lot, what could we do differently for another situation at another camp? First and foremost notice that homesick campers means yes, they're not at home and things aren't going to be the same. Is the sickness really I'm just missing some of my regular things and I'm really happy with some of these new things.

How to Diagnose and Repair a Humid Air Conditioner

Ask This Old House plumbing and heating expert Richard Trethewey travels to Orlando to diagnose and repair an HVAC system that is creating way too much humidity Click here to SUBSCRIBE to the official This Old House YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=thisoldhouse Time: 3-4 hours Skill Level: Expert Steps: 1. When diagnosing a humid air conditioning system, Richard usually follows a series of steps based on the most common issue and works his way to more specific issues. 2. First, Richard checks the sizing of the equipment. Square footage alone isn’t enough to determine the appropriate size of a unit, since insulation, building materials, window openings, etc., can all also impact how much work a unit will need to do. He’s often found that units are oversized with the thought that “bigger is better”, but when that happens, the unit won’t stay on long enough to eliminate humidity. If the unit is the wrong size, it will need to be replaced. 3. The next thing Richard normally checks is thermostat setbacks. If the setback temperatures are too far apart during the day, the air conditioning system will have to work too hard to eliminate heat and humidity in the building, which would explain why the house feels humid. Keep setback temperatures to around 5 degrees difference to prevent the system from overworking. 4. If neither of these issues is causing the problem, it’s time to start digging into the specifics of the system. In this case, Richard found that a UV light was requiring a fan to be on all day. That fan was pushing the moisture collecting on the cold coil of the AC unit back into the building, causing the humidity. 5. To solve this issue, Richard removed the UV light and adjusted the fan so that it only turns on while the unit is in cooling mode. Resources: Richard installed the Healthy Climate Solutions MERV 16 air filter [https://amzn.to/2wfqX9k], manufactured by Lennox (https://www.lennox.com/).

How to Manage Renovation Expectations

Ask This Old House general contractor Tom Silva discusses the conversations a homeowner and a contractor should have before starting a renovation project Click here to SUBSCRIBE to the official This Old House YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=thisoldhouse Steps: 1. Tom and Kevin agree that a house renovation can be a very disruptive process for the everyday lives of homeowners. For that reason, Tom finds it helpful to discuss with homeowners up front all the ways they can expect their lives to be disrupted so they can prepare themselves for it. a. Start time – most contractors prefer to start around 7am, which is often when homeowners are trying to get up and get ready for the day. If you’re not able to get up earlier, you’ll need to negotiate a different start time with the contractor, though starting later each day could delay the project. b. Disturbing the neighbors – be mindful that, depending on the scope of the work, large, loud trucks that need to find parking and spaces to work are going to disrupt your neighbors as well. It makes the process go smoother and keeps everyone happier if you can give them a courtesy heads up before work begins to happen. c. Bathroom use – even though it’s your home, it’s now a workplace for any contractor who comes to do work. Be prepared for the contractors to need to use your bathroom, and if muddy landscaping work is happening for an extended period of time, it might make sense to rent a port-o-potty. 2. Overall, Tom feels that having an open dialogue between homeowners and contractors before work begins will help head off any potential misunderstandings and problems before the project begins so that there are no issues that come up mid project that could slow the project down.

How to Plant Hardier Foundation Plantings

Ask This Old House landscape designer Jenn Nawada helps a homeowner replace and improve foundation plantings that have been crushed from snow piles. Click here to SUBSCRIBE to the official This Old House YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=thisoldhouse Time: 3-4 hours Cost: $200 Skill Level: Beginner Tools List for Foundation Plantings: Bypass pruners [https://amzn.to/2Webc1m] Shovel [https://amzn.to/2w3KUzU] Tarp [https://amzn.to/2w3QCSo] Shopping List: Grasses [https://amzn.to/2VKpmYz] Perennials [https://amzn.to/2Q8XdnL] Mulch [https://amzn.to/2LN0ESL] Steps: 1. Start by identifying plants that have died or could use some pruning. Remove the dead plants and clean up the plants to make it easier to see what kind of palette you’re working with. Place the dead plants and cutoffs on the tarp to be easily dragged away later. 2. Choose and stage plants that will be able to tolerate snow piles in the winter. In this case, Jenn chose a dwarf fountain grass for its height and to anchor the rest of the foundation plantings. Underneath, she chose a variety of perennials with varying seasons, colors, and heights for visual impact. The grass can be cut back in the winter and shouldn’t be damaged in the snow, and the perennials will go dormant underground during the winter until next Spring. 3. Dig holes for the plants using the shovel that are twice as wide as their containers and almost as deep. 4. Pull the plants out of their containers and gently tease the roots. 5. Place the plants into the holes and backfill. Let the plants sit a little higher than the hole to allow for mulch. 6. Add a thin layer of mulch over all the plants. 7. Give all the plants a good watering and keep them watered as they get established. Resources: Jenn noticed that a lot of the foundation plantings the homeowner had around her walkway could easily be smothered by the snow when she shovels in the winter, which probably explains why they weren’t faring well. To alleviate this issue, Jenn picked plants that go dormant in the winter for the areas most vulnerable to snow piles. Jenn planted a variety of plants, including dwarf fountain grass, lady’s mantle, stonecrop, coneflower (echinacea), Blue Hill Salvia, Rose Marvel Salvia, and windflower. These can all be found at nurseries and home centers. The other tools and materials Jenn used to plant the foundation plantings, including the wheelbarrow [https://amzn.to/2HlIx1Y], shovels, and mulch, can all be found at home centers.

Helping a Child Who's Afraid of School | 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/2HCNBPO I'm going to talk to you about how to help a child who's afraid of school. Now, the first thing to do is understand what's normal, and maybe when is the child having problems. We know a preschooler going to school for the first time may show some separation anxiety, and that's completely normal and even expected, and those teachers know how to handle that. There's certainly a time when some school kids, when they're a little older, first or second grade, show anxiety, because they're much more aware and able to understand that things may be different or they have other kinds of worries on their mind. What's important to understand is if it's interfering with what's going on. If it's interfering with their ability to attend school, and also if it's going on too long and it's not getting better. The way to help a child who's anxious about school is plan and predict with them. Talk about what the experience is going to be like. Give them strategy for what to do if they're feeling a little unsure or unsafe in school. Who do they go to? What should they do? How to help themselves. Go through the day and help them understand and plan ahead for when you will be there. Certainly young children may enjoy having something of you with them, or some kind of comfort object to have with them to make them feel better as a reminder about that safety that is back at home. You also want to enlist the help of the people at the school. They can sometimes be that buffer and that link between you and the child so that that transition time between the hand off and going from you to school can be easier. And that they have ways to integrate that child, take that child and be the comforting object and presence that can make that transition easier for them into school. The things you don't want to do is minimize your child's anxiety. You always want to accept how they feel and understand how they feel. You don't want to just pat them on the back and say, "Don't worry, everything will be okay." It doesn't necessarily empower them with any strategies. You also don't want to just rush in and fix it for your child. It's about helping them learning how to manage and cope with their own anxiety. You also want to make sure that you don't indulge that child, because once a child stops going to school it can be that much harder to get them back, because then they start to avoid and become afraid to go back. And that's much harder to help them with. If you start to worry that it's going on too long or you're worried that it's too intense, then you want to make sure to get some professional help for you and your child. When a child is anxious about school and displaying anxiety, you want to be very careful about monitoring your own anxiety, because kids can smell that fear in you, and if you act as if there's something to be worried about, the child will believe and think that there's something to be worried about. And they may want to stay with you because they're worried about themselves or they're worried about you. So you need to model appropriate and positive, confident behavior for your child. When you have a child that's anxious about going to school you always want to make sure, as well, that there isn't some situation at school that's making them anxious, and make sure to address that as soon as possible.

Pro2Pro Live: How to Properly Install a Window

During a recent shoot at our Westerly project, Tom Silva taught two of our apprentices how to properly install a window. First, he covered his method for prepping the rough opening. Then he showed them how to hang the window so that it is level, plumb, and square. Once the window was hung, he illustrated how to flash it properly to create a watertight seal. On Friday, May 24th at 11am EST, we’ll premiere this 30-minute video with Tom Silva and a Marvin installation technician answering your questions, live!

How to Prevent Fasting Constipation | Fasting & Cleanses

Whether you’re trying to lose weight, improve your health or get more energy, here’s some resources for your Detox: Optimum Colon: 14 Days Quick Cleanse to Support Detox: http://amzn.to/1Rue0vj Nature's Secret 5-Day Fast and Cleanse Kit : http://amzn.to/1FXo12E 10-Day Green Smoothie Cleanse: http://amzn.to/1L723aA Weight loss with Intermittent Fasting: Detox and Clean Your Body: http://amzn.to/1j9dWWb The Reboot with Joe Juice Diet: Lose Weight, Get Healthy: http://amzn.to/1jdGfTQ Watch more How to Detox videos: http://bit.ly/2HS2xYW Hi, I'm Natalia Rose and today, we're going to talk about how to prevent fasting constipation. So there are five different tools to keep in your arsenal to prevent fasting constipation. The first is the most golden tool which is the colonics and enemas because that's going to keep the waste moving out. The second tool I recommend is what I call stool for your stool. You're going to bring in a little stool or a waste bin works perfectly. The waste bin you have in your bathroom right now, if you flip it over it's going to be exactly the right height, about 18 inches high. And you're going to put your feet up on that and when you go to put your feet on the stool, the stool for your stool, is going to put you in a position that's more like squatting and that's actually how indigenous people used to move their bowels. And it makes for a much more seamless pathway for the bowels to flow. So you'll find that if you're finding it difficult to move sitting on the toilet regularly, when you elevate your feet everything will flow much more smoothly. Another thing we can use is a castor oil pack. Rub castor oil on your belly. Get a hot water bottle and between the hot water bottle and the caster oil on your belly, if you place a flannel cloth and then place the water bottle on top of the flannel cloth and just let that sit for a while, the caster oil will penetrate the skin and start to help move things along in the large intestine. That's a really great tool. Also self massage. Literally massaging your intestine in a clockwise motion from the lower right side up to the upper right side, across to the left side, and then down the left side. So literally the clockwise motion. This will also help encourage the movement of the bowels. Another way to alleviate constipation when you're fasting, would be to take aloe vera. There's a great brand called Herbal Answer. It's a whole leaf, raw aloe vera product and taking two to four ounces of this product each day will really help to move things along. And finally, another great technique is moving the body in twist. Literally going from side to side, twisting the upper body, crosswise. Twist will also really help to promote the movement of a stagnant bowel.

How to Remove a Burn Mark from a Hardwood Floor

Ask This Old House carpenter Nathan Gilbert travels to Portland, Oregon to repair an original wood floor that was burned from a face down hot iron. Click here to SUBSCRIBE to the official This Old House YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=thisoldhouse Time: 4-6 hours Cost: $100 Skill Level: Moderate Tools List for Removing a Burn Mark from a Wood Floor: Random orbital sander [https://amzn.to/2EethC5] Sanding block [https://amzn.to/2HogVJz] Paint bucket [https://amzn.to/2VtuA5V] Paintbrush [https://amzn.to/30onByF] Shopping List: 150, 180, 220 grit sandpaper [https://amzn.to/2HkTD7g] Tack cloth [https://amzn.to/2HzCzcv] Water-based polyurethane [https://amzn.to/2W8Ivmc] Steps: 1. Start by sanding down the area around the burn mark in the direction of the grain using 150 grit sandpaper until bare wood is visible again and the burn mark disappears. Sand a decent area around the burn mark to ensure that the floor doesn’t end up being too deep in the one area just around the mark. 2. Switch to 180 grit sandpaper and repeat the process. 3. Grab the sanding block and fine tune the area sanded with a piece of 220 grit sandpaper. 4. Clean the area with a tack cloth until it’s completely dust free. 5. Pour the polyurethane into a paint bucket. Gently apply the polyurethane to the floor using a paintbrush. Start in the middle and feather it out as your work towards the edges of the sanded floor. 6. Let the polyurethane dry for an hour and give the floor another light sanding with the 220 grit sandpaper. 7. Wipe the additional dust down with the tack cloth and then apply the second coat of polyurethane. 8. Repeat this process for the third coat. Resources: To repair a burn mark in the floor, Nathan recommends sanding down the floor past the burn mark and then refinishing the floor. If the floor has any stain on it, it may be difficult to match to the original. In this case, Nathan was able to sand down the floors using a Rotex 90 random orbital sander, manufactured by Festool [https://amzn.to/2EethC5]. He did a few, wide passes using 150, 180, and 220 grit sandpaper. Between passes, Nathan used tack cloth to remove any sawdust that wasn’t picked up by the vacuum. These can be found at home centers. For the finish, Nathan used a Varathane clear water-based polyurethane in a semi-gloss finish, which is manufactured by Rust-Oleum [https://amzn.to/2W8Ivmc] The other materials Nathan used for the project, including the paintbrush and the paint bucket, can be found at home centers.

There has been some interesting research that has made this a very interesting topic, where a study was done, and a child with autism, who had a pet dog or a cat for example, had increase in empathy and ability to share. Now what is interesting is that this was in children who actually connected with that particular pet, and it's not children who had pets in their home from when they were born, but actually taken into their home when they were five years of age. So there was actually an interest that the child had in the pet, and that correlates with the degree to which there's benefit from it. This awareness of the animal, of the other, it sort of helps them break through this being more in their own world. And it was wonderful to see children being able to actually feed the dog, have a sense of wanting to take care of the dog, and actually have increase in empathy. So this is a small study, but there was a lot of excitement around it, because there was positive data showing. There's correlation. It doesn't mean that everybody with a child with autism should go get a pet. Look at the allergies, if you have any of those. But there's definitely a lot of interesting data with keeping a pet and helping a child who is depressed, getting them out of yourself, so it only makes sense that a child with autism as well would have this kind of positive response. Pet therapy is used in hospitals and it's, you know, the loyalty of the dog or this unconditional love, the sense of connection is something that we don't quite understand, but we know it exists. Children with autism are also swimming with dolphins and having horse therapy, and it's the interaction with the other living form that helps increase the empathy and connectedness and the ability to share. These are the two areas that are really beneficial for children who have this particular kind of condition.

How to Use a Table Saw

Ask This Old House general contractor Tom Silva gives a general overview of a table saw and the best techniques to use it safely and effectively. 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 to Advanced Steps: 1. Modern table saws come with a variety of safety features to ensure safe use. a. Table saw guards – plastic shields that help keep the dust down and act as an additional barrier between you and the blade. b. Riving knife – two blades on both sides of table saw blade. Their teeth point in the opposite direction so that if the piece of wood kicks back, the teeth will bite down and prevent them from shooting out of the table saw. 2. There are a handful of cuts that can be made with a table saw. a. Rip cut – cuts made with the grain of the wood. i. Before making any cuts, ensure the rip fence on the side is perfectly lined up with the blade. Do this by measuring the distance between the rip fence and one tooth on the blade on one end of the rip fence, then turn that same tooth towards the other side of the table and measure again. If you get the same number, the rip fence is perfectly lined up. ii. Set the height of the saw blade using the crank to a height just slightly above the thickness of whatever wood is being cut. iii. When making a rip cut, watch the rip fence on the side instead of the blade to ensure you’re making a straight cut. b. Cross cut – cuts made against the grain of the wood. i. Do not use the rip fence when making cross cuts. It can cause kickback, and if it does, your hand is likely to get dragged across the blade based on the way you hold the board for cross cuts. ii. Insert the cross cutting guide into the groove on the table saw and use that as a guide to make a cross cut. iii. To make multiple cross cuts the same length, attach a scrap piece of wood to the rip fence and set the distance between the scrap and the blade to the desired length. That way, you can use the rip fence as a measuring guide without having the board against the rip fence. Resources: Tom demonstrated some best practices and techniques on the M18 Fuel Table Saw w/One Key [https://amzn.to/2Q61zw4], which is manufactured by Milwaukee Tools [https://amzn.to/2HoNLKt].

How to Maximize Comfort with a Thermostat

Ask This Old House plumbing and heating expert Richard Trethewey and home technology expert Ross Trethewey discuss improvements to thermostats and how they contribute to comfort in a home. Click here to SUBSCRIBE to the official This Old House YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=thisoldhouse Cost: $200 and up Shopping List: Smart thermostat [https://amzn.to/2PRfl5w] Steps: 1. Richard and Ross emphasize that the thermostat temperature is just one measurement in the category of comfort. In their field, they work to ensure that the environment is comfortable based on the following data points: a. Temperature – is the space warm or cool enough b. Humidity – is there too much (or not enough) moisture in the air c. Air Speed – is the general air flow of the house causing the occupants to feel colder than they should? d. Mean radiant temperature – are there surfaces in the room (like windows, floor tiles, etc.) that are different from the occupants’ body temperatures that are making them feel warmer or colder? 2. Modern thermostats, when combined with smarter furnaces or boilers, can account for more of these factors to make the home more comfortable. Resources: While Richard and Ross emphasize that temperature is just one measure of comfort in a home, they also point out that innovations in new thermostats are allowing room temperatures to be more precise and more effective than in the past. To demonstrate this, they referenced a variety of different thermostats, including the Nest Learning Thermostat (https://amzn.to/2H6bSNQ) and the Ecobee 4 Smart Thermostat (https://amzn.to/2JoDTBN), which can be found at most home centers.

Number one, only unhappily married or unhappy people cheat. The truth is as many people who are otherwise consider themselves happily married or engaged in a happy relationship do succumb to infidelity. We're human beings and often we simply make mistakes. We succumb to temptation. So just because your partner cheated doesn't mean that he or she is not in love with you or that she's not happy in this relationship. Somebody could be very happy in their relationship and still make a mistake, engage in a one stand or have an affair. So that would be the number one myth. The number two myth is that the person you partner is having an affair with or engaging in infidelity with is better looking than you are younger, better looking richer or in some ways better than you are. The truth is, most partners that your partner is cheating with are not better looking in many ways. Sometimes they're simply different from you in some ways. Something different, unusual, or what I've heard one patient say, it was simply creating strange. That was the expression he used. Creating something entirely different from his spouse. Something novel, some sort of a variety. Do not assume that the lover of your partner is somehow better than you are or better looking. Do not personalize this. This is not about you at all. And the third most common myth is that most relationships won't survive an affair. The truth is, 50% of relationships or more survive an affair and thrive afterwards. The number one reason why people break up is actually not infidelity. It is miscommunication or distancing. Feeling misunderstood, feeling inability to communicate with your partner. As awful as an affair could be, it can also be a catalyst in many relationships. It may make people realize that they need to start dating again, that they need to make more of an effort to pay attention to their partner to not take them for granted. So an affair is not always a horrible thing. It can also be a positive thing in the long run as painful as it feels in the moment. What are other myths about cheating or infidelity? Another myth is that affairs or infidelity is all about sex. For many people it is not only about sex and sometimes not about sex at all. It is about being affirmed, being understood, being paid attention to. A number of variables, communication, trust, sometimes it could be revenge on your partner. So affairs are motivated by a number of variables and sex is not always a central variable there. And a final most common myth is that the cheating partner is 100% to blame for an affair. When it comes to an affair it is important to look at it as not blame but contribution. What was contribution to your partners affair? Perhaps your contribution was only 1% and he's 99% to blame or maybe your contribution was 10%. That's when you look at variables such as, was I paying attention to your partner, was I denying him or her sex, was I mean or abusive or taking this person for granted. All sorts of variables can contribute to a relationship and when you're looking at relationship survival it is important to also look at your own contribution. How could my behavior have contributed to this person looking for an affair?

How to Restore a Historic Fireplace

Ask This Old House mason Mark McCullough delicately restores a damaged, historic fireplace that is built with custom, nearly irreplaceable bricks. Click here to SUBSCRIBE to the official This Old House YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=thisoldhouse Time: 6-8 hours Cost: $100 and up Skill Level: Expert Tools List for Restoring a Fireplace: Margin trowel [https://amzn.to/2J6KCAU] Flat jointer [https://amzn.to/2PUbkNN] Mixing bucket [https://amzn.to/2LsQ5nG] Shopping List: Masonite [https://amzn.to/2JonBZK] 2x4” boards [https://amzn.to/2WwmWJo] Type N mortar mix [https://amzn.to/2DUNLj4] Restoration sand Red dye for mortar [https://amzn.to/2LuRQkd] Steps: 1. Start by adding support to the arch of the fireplace with a piece of Masonite and a few pieces of 2x4”, cut to size. Hammer them into place until the Masonite feels fully supported. 2. Identify the bricks that have fallen out of place or settled and plan to remove only the ones that need readjustment. 3. Carefully remove the old mortar holding the bricks. High quality, older masonry jobs used significantly thinner joints, so if a chisel doesn’t fit, try a margin trowel or a flat jointer. 4. Using the back of the trowel, gently tap the brick to see if it will break the bond of the other bed joint surrounding the brick. Slide the trowel through that joint and remove the mortar there as well. 5. With all the mortar removed around the brick, carefully pull that brick out of the fireplace. 6. Repeat this process with all the bricks that have settled. 7. Mix a new batch of mortar to match the old stuff. For thinner joints, a custom mix with a thin aggregate may need to be used. The proportion should be one scoop of mortar to three scoops of sand. Add dye to the mix to match the original color. Add water until the mortar is roughly an oatmeal consistency. 8. Back and side butter the bricks with the mortar and slide them back into place. 9. Once the bricks are in the correct position, fill in the joints the way you normally would when repointing. 10. If the joints don’t match well enough, consider removing all the mortar and repointing the entire fireplace. Resources: For a job as complicated like this, only a select handful of masons might be willing to tackle the job. Be prepared to get the job turned down by a few before you find someone who is willing to do it. To hold the arch in place while Mark extracted select bricks, Mark used a piece of masonite and scrap 2x4”s, which can be found at any home center. To extract the brick from the ultra thin masonry joints, Mark used a margin trowel and a tuck pointer to try and slip between the two bricks. These can also be found at any home center on masonry supply store. When Mark repointed the brick, he needed to use a special mix to match the original fireplace and also ensure that the aggregate with thin enough to slide through the small joints. To do so, he used a premixed Evolution N mortar with just Portland cement and lime in it, which is manufactured by Ciment Quebec (http://bit.ly/2VnP3ZX). For the aggregate, he mixed in a Number 70 Silica Sand, which is a thin restoration sand manufactured by Taggart Sand of Pawtucket, Rhode Island. To match the color of the original mortar, he also added a Series H Concentrated Mortar Color, which is manufactured by Solomon Colors, Inc. (http://bit.ly/30qcANg).

A.B.A. is the common lingo. That's what you are to hear more often, and that's what it stands for. There are versions of A.B.A., and the one developed, or commonly used is called discrete trial. It was developed by, Dr. Lovaas from U.C.L.A. What is interesting is it is based on the theory of rewarding certain behaviors. That is what was done by little trials. You can retrain a child. For example, if you wanted adequate eye contact, or tapping on the table, and you have the child, you ask them to do so. You re-enforce them every time positively, or when they were able to do so by giving either a raisin, or something they like to eat, or preferably something they like to do because I think food is another issue, but traditionally, they have been food items that have been used to re-enforce behavior. This can be done consistently with supporting them, or giving a no when it's the negative behavior. One of the modifications that have taken place is that everything gets a positive, and if you're not getting the kind of response you want you use prompting. So, there's success with every attempt. That takes some of the negative out of it. Variations have been done of the A.B.A. There's also now a program called Applied Verbal Analysis where they use a lot more language than just behavior. This is getting more popular because it encourages children to, actually, you see the benefit of language to get their needs met. A.B.A. as I'm going to use that term is provided by a lot of the programs through early intervention. Also, in special preschools, and can be provided both in school, as well as, at home. Early intervention programs often apply the A.B.A. at home. The study that was done by, Dr. Lovaas was, actually 40 hours of A.B.A. Now, probably that was used for higher functioning kids. There're some mixed responses to his data, but a lot of those kids, actually, got normalized with a lot of their behaviors. That is exciting. A lot A.B.A. programs now are covered between 20 to 30 hours. Parents get the best they can through the school system, or through early intervention, otherwise, go privately, and avail of it.

Why is This Lawn Patchy?

Ask This Old House landscaper Roger Cook and landscape designer Jenn Nawada share some tips for killing weeds without hurting the lawn. Click here to SUBSCRIBE to the official This Old House YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=thisoldhouse Cost: $20 and up Skill Level: Beginner Shopping List: Weed killer Steps: 1. Roger shares that the homeowner’s yard was patchy because she used a non-selective herbicide to treat for weeds in her lawn. 2. Read labels carefully to ensure the proper weed killer is being used. On a lawn, a selective herbicide should be used. On sidewalks and walkways, a non-selective herbicide can be used. 3. If there is a concern about the harsh nature of these chemicals, there are organic herbicides available that work pretty effectively. Resources: Roger and Jenn warned viewers to read the labeling on weed killers very carefully to make sure the correct product is being purchased, since they look very similar. They discussed both Roundup Weed Killer (https://amzn.to/2VWt5Sc) and Roundup for Lawns (https://amzn.to/2H7iJ9B), which are manufactured by RoundUp. Roger also pointed out that he’s been a fan of using organic weed killers and mentioned Avenger Weed Killer (https://amzn.to/2H3NafG), which kills everything including the grass, and PureDefense Weed Shield, which is a selective herbicide that is manufactured by Purely Organic Products and is available at most home centers.

To say "Merry Christmast," you say, "Wesłego bożego narodzenia." "Wesłego bożego narodzenia." So it's three words, and let's work on those words separately. The fist word, "wesłego," the Ws sounds like Vs, so it's "veso-wego." Ls with a line through them is an accent that turns the L into "wo," so "ve-so-we-go." "Wesołego ." The second word, "bożego," "bo-że-go." A dot on top of the Z, turns it into a "zhe," "bo-zhe-go." And the third word, "narodzenia," "na-ro-dze-nia." "Na-ro-dze-nia." So "Wesłego bożego narodzenia." At full speed, "Wesłego bożego narodzenia." Very good. To ask "What do you want for Christmas?" you say, "Co chcesz na święta?" "Co chcesz na święta?" So let's break this one down. "Co"-- then in the Polish language, a CH, the C is silent, so it's just H. "Hcesh"-- the SZ makes a "sh" sound, "hcesh." "Chcesz na święta" -- an S with a line on top is the accent that turns it to "sh," then the W is the V, and then the E makes an "ehw," so "sh-vyeta." "Sh-vyeta." "Święta." "Tso hcesh na sh-vyeta." At full speed it should sound like this: "Co Chcesz na święta?" Go ahead. Now you ask me. The list is too long, but thanks for asking. That was great. That's how you say "Merry Christmas."

How to Hang a Porch Swing through Vinyl

Ask This Old House general contractor Tom Silva adds structure to a porch in order to safely hang a swing Click here to SUBSCRIBE to the official This Old House YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=thisoldhouse Time: 3-4 hours Cost: $200 Skill Level: Moderate Tools List for Hanging a Porch Swing: Hammer [https://amzn.to/2JmGkEY] Prybar [https://amzn.to/2V9dVnU] Wrench [https://amzn.to/2LvSduP] Drill [https://amzn.to/302tbH0] Shopping List: Porch swing [https://amzn.to/2Yc7LFC] 2x4” boards [https://amzn.to/2WwmWJo] Lag screws [https://amzn.to/2WvBJE6] Wood screws [https://amzn.to/2H3m60f] Thick drill bit [https://amzn.to/2JotRk7] Thin drill bit [https://amzn.to/2VSntYV] Steps: 1. Start by removing the vinyl ceiling using a hammer and a prybar up until the furthest point the swing will hang. 2. If the swing cannot be hung on structure, structure will need to be added. Cut the 2x4” to size and then hammer it into position, preferably over the furring strip (if there is one) to accommodate the additional ¾” depth it creates. Secure the structure with wood screws. 3. Reinstall the vinyl ceiling up until the panels fall just over the added structure. 4. Drill a pilot hole through the vinyl, the furring strip, and the added structure using the drill and a drill bit. To keep the vinyl from cracking, it helps to start with a thicker drill bit just for the vinyl, then switch to the thin drill bit to drill the rest of the hole. 5. Mount the bracket that comes with the swing to the pilot holes. Hand tighten the bracket through the pilot hole using a lag screw and a wrench. 6. Install the vinyl ceiling up until the next location for the other side of the swing and repeat the process. 7. Install the rest of the vinyl ceiling. 8. Hang the swing onto the mounting brackets. Resources: Depending on which direction you’d like to hang the porch swing, additional structure may need to be added to ensure the swing is installed safely. To add structure, Tom took a piece of 2x4” and hammered it into place. He then secured it with wood screws. To secure the brackets from the swing, Tom used lag screws. All of these tools and hardware can be found at home centers. The swing the homeowners had picked out was the Coral Coast Casco Bay Resin Wicker Porch Swing with Optional Cushion, which comes from Hayneedle (https://amzn.to/2Yc7LFC). The swing comes with the green hanging brackets, but does not come with hardware to attach the brackets to the ceiling.

How to Shorten a Gas Pipe to Fit an Oven

Ask This Old House plumbing and heating expert Richard Trethewey shortens a gas pipe for a homeowner whose new stove does not fit against the wall because it is getting stuck on the pipe. Click here to SUBSCRIBE to the official This Old House YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=thisoldhouse Time: 2-3 hours Cost: $50 Skill Level: Expert – for professionals only Tools List for Shortening a Gas Pipe: Open-ended adjustable wrench [https://amzn.to/2JeiYkV] Pipe wrenches [https://amzn.to/2Lg5PKE] Shopping List: Pipe dope [https://amzn.to/2UTxfW2] Leak detector test [https://amzn.to/2Wh26h5] Steps: 1. Working with gas is dangerous and should be left to a licensed professional. 2. Start by shutting off the gas to the meter using a wrench. 3. Carefully slide the stove out until you can fit behind it to break the connections. 4. Disconnect the flexible gas line from the gas piping using the pipe wrenches. 5. With the pipe wrenches still in hand, loosen the gas piping and the shut off from the pipes below the floor. Since gas pipes usually go in before any finish work happens, there’s a chance that twisting the pipe will damage the wall a little behind it when the shut off begins to twist. 6. Unthread the gas pipe from the shut off valve. 7. Replace the gas pipe with a smaller pipe. Be sure to choose a size that’s long enough to reach all the way through the floor, but short enough to allow for the additional height of the flexible gas line to the stove. To thread the pipe, apply a generous coat of pipe dope to the threads and be sure to tighten it using the pipe wrenches. 8. With the shorter pipe secured to the gas shut off, apply more pipe dope to the thread on the other side of the short pipe. Send it back through the floor and tighten it to the rest of the gas line using the pipe wrenches. Be sure to tighten it until the gas shut off is parallel to the wall so you’re still able to access the shut off as needed. 9. Reconnect the flexible gas line from the stove to the shut off on the pipe. Slide the stove back into place. 10. Turn the gas back on. Test all the new work for leaks by applying a soap solution along all the new connections. If any bubbles form in the solution, it means air is escaping somewhere and the connections aren’t sealed tightly enough. If there are no bubbles, then the gas line is perfectly sealed. Resources: Richard emphasizes that working with gas is extremely dangerous and should be left to a licensed professional. All of the tools and materials Richard used to shorten the gas pipe, including the replacement nipple, pipe dope, pipe wrenches, and the soap test, can all be found at home centers.

How to Choose and Use Pruners

Ask This Old House landscape designer Jenn Nawada shares some tips about pruners. Click here to SUBSCRIBE to the official This Old House YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=thisoldhouse Cost: $15-$30 Skill Level: Beginner Tools: Bypass pruners [https://amzn.to/2Y0uT9M] Anvil pruners [https://amzn.to/2IUU1va] Bucket [https://amzn.to/2PF7d8c] Shopping List: Bleach [https://amzn.to/2GTYMmG] Steps: 1. Pruners get their names by the way they cut. The blades on the bypass pruners slide slightly pass each other, hence bypassing one another. The blades on anvil pruners perfectly line up and crush together when cut, like a hammer to an anvil. 2. Because of their intense cut, anvil pruners are stronger and great for cutting dead wood or bulk material. However, that strong cut can also damage the tissue of live plants, so it shouldn’t be used for delicate pruning. 3. Bypass pruners, on the other hand, can cut in a way that doesn’t damage the tissue of the plant and are perfect for precision cuts. When pruning, Jenn recommends looking for V’s in the plant and making the cuts there until the plant is shaped and healthy looking. 4. After pruning, Jenn recommends cleaning the pruners thoroughly to prevent them for transferring disease from one plant to another. To do this, take a small bucket of three parts water and one part bleach mixed together and swirl the pruners with the blades open in the solution. Then, wipe the blades down dry to prevent rusting. Resources: When it comes to pruning, Jenn prefers to use a pair of bypass pruning shears, which are manufactured by ARS (https://amzn.to/2V6miFH). For cutting back dead wood and bulkier items where a precision cut isn’t needed, anvil pruners will get the job done faster. The pair Jenn demonstrated are a pair of Fiskars anvil pruners (https://amzn.to/2Wdn944). Expert assistance with this segment was provided by Nawada Landscape Design (http://bit.ly/28YHZAi).

What You Need to Know about Scarring | 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: http://bit.ly/2JlnoGo I'm commonly asked by my patients: "Is this going to leave a scar?" The simple answer to the scar question is: anytime an incision is made anywhere on the body, on the skin, there is going to be a scar. Scarring is part of the normal wound-healing process and there is no way for a cut, a laceration, or an incision to be made in the skin and for that skin to heal without a scar. So yes, any time any surgical procedure is performed, a scar is going to result. There are ways in which to make the scar as beautiful as possible. In part this is dependent on the genetic make-up of the patient, but in part it's also dependent on the surgical technique of the surgeon and the aftercare of the scar as it's healing and maturing. ] There are many products that are available that help scar maturation. Silicon products tend to work fairly well for this. They should be placed after a wound is completely healed. In addition, if a scar tends to start to get thick or raised, then there are different things that we can do to help treat the scar. For example, injecting the scar with steroids. Again, in general, any time any incision is made on the skin, it's going to result in a scar. However, as plastic surgeons we're well trained in making the scar as beautiful as possible.
