How to Split Firewood By Hand or Machine | Ask This Old House
Ask This Old House general contractor Tom Silva and landscape contractor Jenn Nawada split firewood using a variety of techniques #ThisOldHouse #AskTOH SUBSCRIBE to This Old House: http://bit.ly/SubscribeThisOldHouse Cost: $10-$550, depending on the technique used Skill Level: Beginner Tools: Electric log splitter [https://bit.ly/2zUrItP] Axe [https://amzn.to/3e4FXLo] Splitting maul [https://amzn.to/3g7nmAc] Splitting axe [https://amzn.to/36kKo22] Steps for splitting firewood: 1. Jenn demonstrates how to use an electric log splitter. While it’s an easy and helpful tool to use, it is also extremely dangerous and needs to be operated carefully: a. Turn on the power for the splitter. b. Carefully place the log on the track against the wedge. Be sure to grip the log on its sides. Never place your hand near the wedge. c. Stand on the side of the splitter. Pull the safety bar towards you. d. Push the bar for roughly two seconds. It will activate a piston to push the log against the wedge, splitting it in two. e. Power off the splitter when finished. 2. Tom demonstrates a variety of tools that can be used to split wood by hand: a. axe: axes have thin heads that are designed for cutting, rather than splitting. They’re really meant for cutting down trees or doing other lumber cuts against the grain. b. Maul: Mauls are designed for splitting firewood. Their heads are heavy—about 8 pounds—and they’re designed with a wide wedge that can get in between the grain and split it apart. c. Sledgehammer and wedge: Another tool that’s similar to a maul is the combination of a sledgehammer and wedge. The wedge has a sharp point that can be pushed into the log, and the sledgehammer and drive the wedge further down, effectively splitting the wood. It’s about as heavy as the maul. d. Splitting axe: Tom recommends trying to split wood with a splitting axe. It has the wedge of a maul but the weight of an axe, making it easier to swing. 3. Tom then shows Jenn the proper axe-swinging technique: a. Place the splitting axe towards the closest edge of the log. Adjust your feet accordingly so you’re standing the correct distance from the log. b. Lift the splitting axe and swing it around your head with one hand. This will build up your internal centrifugal force. c. When the axe is above your head, grip the bottom of the handle with both hands and drive the axe down on the targeted area. Resources: Jenn demonstrated the Pilot K10 Rapidfire Flywheel Log Splitter [https://bit.ly/2zUrItP], which is manufactured by DR Power Equipment (https://ift.tt/2SikEdT).

How to Make Group Work Go Smoothly | 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/2XcGeGg For me, what makes my group work go the smoothest is to teach the students physical group behavior before I actually give them anything to do in the group. So I like to concentrate initially just on the physical movement of bodies and desks. So, for example, I might teach a procedure - a three-step procedure - that works like this: "Students, we're going to learn how to get into groups today. This is a three-step procedure. Step one: Two rows are going to turn to face each other to create pairs, so these two rows, and these two rows, and these two rows. Then two sets of pairs are going to smoosh together, corners of their desks touching, to create a group of four. Then you're going to go back into rows." And then we practice. "All right, students. When I say the word 'go,' let's please get into groups of four in silence, corners of the desks touching, and see how long it takes us. Ready and go." And I time them. They get into groups. We debrief. "That was pretty good. We're all in groups. But you guys over here, corners of your desks aren't touching, and over here, there was some talking. This is a silent activity. Let's see if we can do it in silence, and let's go back into rows." And on the floor I will mark where the first chair in each row has to go, so that they know where to put their chair, and then everybody in their row can line up after them. I always get a question when I'm doing this activity with my students. Somebody will always ask me, "Mrs. Dearborn, why do the corners of the desks have to touch?" And then I do something I do all the time in the classroom. I quote research that doesn't exist. "Students, the reason the corners of your desks have to touch is because studies show when the corners of students' desks touch, they are more focused and they learn more." Fifteen years in the classroom and nobody has ever questioned that research, so I keep on quoting it. And we go back into rows. And then we do it again, and we debrief again. And then we do it again, and we debrief again. And then I get this question every year: "Mrs. Dearborn, what are we doing today?" to which I always respond, "We are learning how to get in and out of groups of four, so let's try it again." Now when they can get into groups of four in 30 seconds or less, in silence, corners of all the desks touching, then I will lightly season that particular procedure with some content. I'll give them something to do inside of their groups of four. But I always start with just the physical movement of chairs and desks, because that's how you make group work run smoothly in the classroom.

This Old House | Energy Saving Installations (S40 E12) | FULL EPISODE
Kevin learns about induction cooking. Richard watches as the solar panels go on the barn roof. Outside, Jeff installs a unique lattice designed by Don. Richard demonstrates how an ERV works. Jenn finds the landscaping and hardscaping is well underway. #ThisOldHouse #AskTOH SUBSCRIBE to This Old House: http://bit.ly/SubscribeThisOldHouse Kevin walks through the first floor, which is full of activity with finishing touches. The new cabinets, counters and appliances have been installed in the kitchen. Dana is with Chef Will Gilson who has come to teach her how to operate her new induction stove. He shows which types of pots to use and demonstrates the quick amount of time it takes to heat up and control cooking temperatures. He makes a brunch pasta dish that he serves to the family for their first meal in their new kitchen. Outside the solar panels are getting mounted to the barn roof. The lead installer shows Richard how the panels get prepped, installed and wired together. Richard does a quick solar demo using a small panel to power a fan. Jeff has been working on a new lattice to go under the house porches. Instead of using stock square or diagonal lattice, homeowner Don sketched a design that Jeff took to a shop to be transferred onto a CNC machine. Today Jeff and Kevin install a finished panel. Richard demonstrates how an energy recovery ventilator works using red and blue smoke to illustrate the flow of indoor air and outdoor air through the core of the machine. Jenn meets landscape contractor Jon who gives her a tour of the busy yard: stone walkways are being laid, the arbor and picket fence are being installed, perennials and trees are being planted, and the microclover sod is getting rolled out and watered with the new sprinkler system. The project will be done in just one week!

How to Install a Quartz Countertop | Ask This Old House
Ask This Old House host Kevin O’Connor learns how quartz countertops are manufactured and then helps install one in a homeowner’s kitchen. #ThisOldHouse #AskTOH SUBSCRIBE to This Old House: http://bit.ly/SubscribeThisOldHouse Time: 1-2 weeks Cost: $1500 and up Skill Level: Expert Steps for installing quartz countertop: 1. Kevin starts by explaining how quartz countertops are manufactured: a. Quartz is a mineral, which is mined out of the ground and crushed into different sizes. b. The quartz is then mixed with a binder and poured into a form. c. The form is compacted, vibrated, and baked at 200 degrees for 30-60 minutes, which turns it into a hard, stone slab. 2. To have a quartz countertop installed, the existing cabinets need to be templated by a stone fabricator. 3. Once the cabinets have been templated, the fabricator can cut the quartz to the proper dimensions, including cutting out a hole for sink, using a variety of specialty cutting tools. 4. When the quartz is ready to be installed, the old countertop will need to be removed. a. Start by shutting off the water to the kitchen sink and disconnect the supply hoses with a wrench. b. Loosen and disconnect the drainpipe. c. Pry the sink away from the countertop. Oftentimes, the sink is clipped to the countertop and those can easily be pried off. d. Pry the countertop off using a pry bar. 5. The quartz slab can then be installed on the cabinet using silicone and clips. Quartz is heavy, so it will take multiple people to install it. Resources: Kevin toured the manufacturing facility for Cambria Stone (https://ift.tt/2kZOYJy). The slab that was installed at Jenny’s house was also Cambria quartz in the color “Windermere [https://bit.ly/2LMfgid].” The tools required for installing the quartz, including the hammers and pry bars for removing the old counter, and the silicone to secure the new countertop, can all be found at home centers.

This Old House | Roger’s Nod to Sod (S40 E11) | FULL EPISODE
Roger visits a nearby sod farm with Jenn and Kevin. Richard inspects the HVAC installation. A gas fireplace goes in the living room. Tom and Jeff attach screens on the side porch. Outside, a new well is dug to provide water for the landscaping. #ThisOldHouse #AskTOH SUBSCRIBE to This Old House: http://bit.ly/SubscribeThisOldHouse The show opens with Kevin at the busy Jamestown job site where the yard has been ripped up from the heavy machinery. In just a couple short weeks the grass will go in but luckily Roger has a good solution. Roger joins Jenn and Kevin at a nearby sod farm where hundreds of acres of environmentally friendly grass is grown. Back at the house, the new HVAC equipment is on site. Behind the barn Richard shows the outdoor heat recovery unit, which can simultaneously heat and cool the home. Upstairs in the living room, Jeff and his fireplace installer move a direct vent high efficiency fireplace into the framed chase. A television will eventually be mounted above the fireplace, so there’s a heat release system that will vent inside of the chase to keep the hot air away from the TV. The wood framed porch gets screened in the old fashion way. Tommy works with Jeff to staple black fiberglass screens to a wooden piece that slides into an opening created by the framing. Back outside, Richard watches as high- pressured water is pumped into the newly dug well to create a better water flow. Since water usage is often restricted in Jamestown, the water that’s accessible by this well will be pumped to a tank to be used in the summer for irrigation.

How to Hang the American Flag | Ask This Old House
Ask This Old House carpenter and U.S. Navy veteran Nathan Gilbert explains the proper way to hang and display a U.S. flag. #ThisOldHouse #AskTOH SUBSCRIBE to This Old House: http://bit.ly/SubscribeThisOldHouse Time: 10 minutes Cost: $20 Skill Level: Beginner Tools: Drill driver [https://amzn.to/2Xhzjub] Shopping List: U.S. flag [https://amzn.to/2zWvDpK] Flag mounting bracket [https://amzn.to/2TmENTB] Steps for hanging a U.S. flag: 1. The U.S. Flag Code is a set of regulations for displaying the American flag. Citizens are not required by law to follow these regulations, but Kevin and Nathan agree that following them is a great way to show pride for the flag. 2. Nathan shares a few rules that are relevant to homeowners: a. The flag should not be flown during bad weather, unless an all-weather flag is used. b. The flag should not be displayed at night, unless it is properly lit. c. The flag should be hung in a way that the union (the blue section with the 50 stars) is always in the top left corner of the flag. d. If the flag is torn or damaged in a way that’s beyond repair, it should be destroyed “with dignity.” Most recommend burning it, starting from the Union. If you’re not comfortable doing this, most local Boy Scout troops or American Legion groups will do it for you. 3. Nathan then explains how to mount the flag: a. Screw a flag bracket against the wall using a drill driver and some weather rated screws. Nathan prefers to use an adjustable flag bracket, which makes it easier to display the flag at the exact right angle for the building. b. If the flag needs to be mounted to siding, they sell a mounting plate with a cleat that can be screwed through the plate, through the siding, and into the sheathing of the building. Then, the flag bracket can be mounted to the plate. c. Insert the flag pole into the flag bracket and hand tighten the bracket. Resources: The mounting block [https://amzn.to/2XfVReR] Nathan demonstrated that works well for vinyl siding is a surface mounting block, which is manufactured by Ply Gem (https://www.plygem.com/) and can be found at most home centers. The flag kit and various other mounting brackets Nathan demonstrated in the segment can all also be found at home centers. If you are looking to retire a U.S. flag and don’t feel comfortable burning it yourself, Nathan suggests contacting your local American Legion post (https://www.legion.org/) or Boy Scouts of America troop (https://ift.tt/2BLJuw9) to do it for you.

A few pointers. One is to make sure that no matter what you eat, you properly combine your food. So no mixing starches with fleshes, no having fruit for dessert. Keep your meals really cleanly combined such as vegetables with fish, vegetables with a high quality grain if you're gonna have grain. Another thing to remember is that you can take your enema kit with you. It's very easy to travel with. Air travel is very drying, internally drying. So it's really a good time to make sure you have your enema kit with you. Another thing you can do is you can travel with frozen green juices. So take your favorite green vegetable juices, freeze them the night before, and then wrap them up well in a cooler case and put them in to your suitcase and open them up when you get to your destination. One thing I always do is make sure that there's a refrigerator in my room and if there're things in the refrigerator like a cooler bar, I usually take those things out and put my favorite things in. So my green juices ... I'll usually call ahead and find out where I can get good organic produce where ever I'm going and know where I can stop along the way to pick up my organic carrots and greens and anything else that I would want to enjoy on my trip. Going on a vacation or going on a business trip does not mean you have put the breaks on your detox. Not at all, as long as you can keep your bowel moving and you can keep good hydrating food going in and you can properly combine your food and have lots of high quality green leafy vegetables, you'll be able to continue to detoxify no matter where you go.

How to Build a Fire Pit from a Kit | Ask This Old House
Ask This Old House mason Mark McCullough installs a fire pit that comes in a kit #ThisOldHouse #AskTOH SUBSCRIBE to This Old House: http://bit.ly/SubscribeThisOldHouse Time: 2-3 hours Cost: $600 Skill Level: Moderate Tools: Shovel [https://amzn.to/2zi2B3X] Wheelbarrow [https://amzn.to/2ADYsHV] Tarp [https://amzn.to/2WOs0v3] Hand tamper [https://amzn.to/2TiTG9p] Level [https://amzn.to/2LGsGwm] Mallet [https://amzn.to/2TnQcT3] Caulking gun [https://amzn.to/2Xjb3b8] Shopping List: Firepit kit [https://amzn.to/3dVQ3y2] Crushed stone [https://thd.co/2zfsfXa] Stone dust [https://thd.co/3g9AV1J] Construction adhesive [https://amzn.to/3cQ8KmH] Steps for building a fire pit from a kit: 1. Determine a good location for a fire pit. Be sure there are no trees overhead or any other structures that could catch fire from floating embers. 2. Use the center ring of the kit and the first course of blocks to determine how wide the hole needs to be. 3. Cut a circle a few inches around the outside of the course of blocks with the shovel. Using the shovel, pull up the top layer of grass and set it aside on a tarp so it can be reused to backfill the hole later. 4. Once the outside circle is outlined, remove the center ring and the course of blocks and dig a hole about 8” deep. 5. Compact the ground using a hand tamper until the base is perfectly solid. 6. Pour a layer of crushed stone into the hole. Compact it using the hand tamper. 7. Repeat this process with the crushed stone until the hole is almost completely filled. 8. Mix a little of the crushed stone with the stone dust. Pour that over the base and rake it smooth. 9. Place the center ring back in the center of the base to use as a template for the first course. 10. Place the first block in the correct location. Use a level and adjust the block with a rubber mallet to ensure it’s perfectly level. Take some time to get it perfectly positioned, as that block will serve as a guide for all the other blocks. 11. Place the rest of the blocks in the first course around the center of the firepit. Check each one for level, using that first block as a reference. 12. Dry fit the next row of blocks on top of the first course. Once the fit is just right, individually pull up each block, add a bead of construction adhesive underneath, and place the block back down. Doing it this way will ensure that all the blocks fit correctly and there isn’t an uneven gap at the end of the circle. 13. Repeat this process for the third course. 14. The kit comes with lava rock for the bottom of the firepit. Pour this into the center hole and spread it out evenly. 15. Take the grass for the tarp and use it to patch any leftover holes around the outside of the firepit. Resources: Mark installed a Necessories Grand 48-inch Firepit Kit [https://amzn.to/3dVQ3y2], which can be found at most home centers and landscape supply stores. For the base, Mark used crushed stone and pack, which can be found at landscape supply stores. To secure the stones in the kit together, Mark used Gorilla Construction Adhesive [https://amzn.to/3cQ8KmH] made by Gorilla Glue (www.gorillatough.com). The other tools Mark used to install the fire pit, including the shovel, level, and rubber mallet, can all be found at home centers.

How to Raise Optimistic Children | 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: https://ift.tt/2LQXlHl I'm going to talk to you about how to raise optimistic children. I think, sometimes we wonder, are they born or made? And actually it's a combination of things. Optimism, in terms of your attitude and your approach and style, is often a mixture of your disposition, your temperament, and how you just were born and some people are more cautious, and some people are more go getters. And then it's also the environment that you're raised in, as well as, your experiences. So there's a lot that you can do to help your children do to be optimistic. One thing is, you can't protect your children from everything. So, you have to make sure that they have the skills necessary to be optimistic. And it doesn't mean just sitting around and telling your kids, "Don't worry. Be happy." Or be a Pollyanna about it. It's actually giving them skills to have the right perspective about their life. And sometimes that means understanding that this is tough but I can get through it. And is having the right attitude about what you can do. It's also having skills though, to match that attitude, so problem solving skills. You're optimistic because you know what I've been through this or I've been through something similar. Or just because it's tough, I know I can get through it or I know how to get help. I know how to think about this. I know people I can go to, to help me figure this out. So again, it's not just an attitude but it's the action, and then the problem solving that matches that attitude. And then the other thing that you can always do, and it's key, is to model an optimistic attitude and behavior, so your kids will see how you problem solve. How you weather storms. How you manage difficult situations. And it's not, just again, putting on a smiling face, which can always help, but it's how did you get there, so you can feel it's going to be okay. I think parents, sometimes, worry or think that the way to have an optimistic child is make sure nothing bad ever happens to them. So then, they're going to think life is terrific. But the reality is, sometimes, you have to let your kids fail or experience difficulty or make mistakes. Doesn't mean you want to set up situations where they make mistakes. It means that if they have a mistake, or make a mistake, or something goes wrong, you don't want to necessarily rush in to fix it. You want to help walk through, talk through with them, how to change it. How to think about it. How they feel about it. And then what they can do about it. So now, they have been empowered to change what happens next, and that will make them feel optimistic about their future. Rather than thinking, you're always going to fix what happens and change their future.

This Old House | Powering Net-Zero (S40 E10) | FULL EPISODE
Tom discusses the differences between hanging blue board and hanging drywall. Richard learns about the process to size a solar array. Jeff and Tommy install a wood ceiling. The electrician puts in a generator at the Idea House. Richard visits a Newport boat building school. #ThisOldHouse #AskTOH SUBSCRIBE to This Old House: http://bit.ly/SubscribeThisOldHouse Kevin tours the outside of the 1920s Jamestown bungalow, which will become a net zero home, and the new barn, which will soon hold the solar panels to bring the house to net zero. Inside he meets up with Tommy as plastering is underway. Solar panels are an important part of the net zero plan at this project. Expert Mark Trout tells Richard how he determines the amount and location of panels that are needed. In the dining room, Jeff shows Tommy how he’s going to treat the ceiling –with tongue and groove poplar boards. Together with Jeff’s carpenters, they cut and nail the boards up with no joints. At the Idea House, Kevin meets electrician Ben who is installing a new back-up generator. It’s an emergency load generator that uses natural gas and can run a large percentage of the house in a black out. Richard goes to Newport, RI where the US Navy was created and is still home to a naval training school. Also in Newport is the IYRS School of Technology and Trades which teaches boat building to the next generation. President Terry Nathan takes Richard through the program where students are working on restoring wooden boats and also learning to use digital technology and machines to make new boat parts. Richard goes down to the dock to board the Weatherly sail boat—the 1962 America’s Cup winner. Owner George takes him for a sail in the harbor along with Kevin and Jeff.

I would say the honest answer is no because people cheat for so many different reasons; however, certain things do help in maintaining a healthy relationship and insulate your relationship from the possibility of an affair. One of them is, of course, good communication strategies and the other one is what I call the three A's: attention, affection, appreciation. If you express regular attention to your partner, lots of appreciation for all the little things he or she does for you and lots of affection, hand-holding, hugs, there's little reason why your partner would want to cheat on you. Of course, there are people who have personality disorders such as narcissistic personality disorder or have other issues with attachment, intimacy or security that may cheat for their own individual reasons so I never want to tell people that the cheating was their problem or something they caused by their behavior. I don't want anybody to personalize the affair because there's so many different reasons why someone would seek emotional or sexual intimacy outside of the relationship.

Dana and Don show Kevin interior design choices at their architecture studio. Richard demonstrates how a heat pump works. Mark watches as stone veneer is applied at the Idea House. The plumber installs a wall hung toilet tank inside the wall. Don builds his powder room vanity with Tom. #ThisOldHouse #AskTOH SUBSCRIBE to This Old House: http://bit.ly/SubscribeThisOldHouse Kevin opens the show in Providence, RI to meet the homeowners at their architecture office. Donald and Dana drew the plans for their renovation and they also worked out the design decisions, as they often do with their clients. Back at the house, Richard meets up with the plumber who is about to install a toilet tank. Wall hung toilets, which are commonly found in Europe, are the new trend. At the Idea House in Narragansett, Mark McCullough watches as a stone veneer goes around the fireplace in the living room. Using a cyclical mock up, Richard explains how heat pumps work. Compression makes the air hotter and expansion makes the air colder. Back in Rhode Island, Tommy works with Donald to build a sink console for the powder room. They meet in Jeff’s shop where Donald shows Tommy the steel frame he designed and had welded. For the top, they cut reclaimed oak and form an arc where the sink will sit. They cut out the holes for the sink drain and faucet and place the fixtures in to see how it all comes together.

How to Install Bypass Pantry Doors | Ask This Old House
Ask This Old House carpenter Nathan Gilbert travels to Missouri to install a set of bypass doors for a pantry. #ThisOldHouse #AskTOH SUBSCRIBE to This Old House: http://bit.ly/SubscribeThisOldHouse Time: 3-4 hours Cost: $150 Skill Level: Moderate Tools: Drill driver [https://amzn.to/35X3hYs] Forstner bit [https://amzn.to/2LpDxKP] Level [https://amzn.to/2WqNcXQ] Measuring tape [https://amzn.to/2WSIS2H] Track saw [https://amzn.to/2zwrcC6] Brad nailer [https://amzn.to/2WRJoOu] Shopping List: Primed trim piece [https://thd.co/2WrCW1u] Interior doors [https://thd.co/2SYElKU] Bypass door hardware kit [https://amzn.to/2LrnRqs] Shims [https://amzn.to/2WRjt9D] Steps for installing bypass doors: 1. Start by prepping the opening of the doors. In some cases, it might be necessary to pad the opening with some primed 2x stock material to ensure the opening is the exact width as the width of the doors. If the width of the opening is the correct dimension, notch out the opening to accept the trim piece, which will be added later to hide the track once its installed. 2. Hold the track up to the top of the opening and mark the holes for the screws. 3. Remove the track and drill pilot holes on the marks. 4. Secure the track to the top of the opening using screws that come with the kit. 5. Check the track for level. If it’s out of level, the top of the opening can be padded out with a few shims. 6. Hang the roller hardware into the track. Measure from the bottom of the floor to the hardware. Subtract ½” to allow for some clearance for the door. 7. Transfer that measurement to each door and cut the door to size using the track saw. Be sure to cut off material from the bottom of each door. 8. Mount the roller hardware to the door about 1” in on both sides with the drill driver and provided screws. 9. Hang the doors on the track. 10. Place the floor guide on the floor and place the doors in each slot. Once the floor guide is in a good location, secure it to the floor with screws. 11. Drill a hole in each door using a Forstner bit to accept a finger pull that comes with the kit. This will allow the doors to be easily opened and closed. 12. Attach the trim piece in the two notches that were cut in the opening to hide the track. Secure them with a brad nailer. Resources: Nathan installed two JELD-WEN Colonist Primed wood interior doors [https://thd.co/2SYElKU] that most closely matched the dimensions of the opening. Nathan recommends ensuring the door has not been pre-hung and does not have bore holes in it for a standard knob. These doors can be found at home centers. To make the doors bypass, Nathan mounted a Bypass Door Hardware kit [https://amzn.to/2LrnRqs], which is manufactured by Johnson Hardware (https://ift.tt/2WMhGUF). The kit comes with all the hardware required to mount the doors. All the other tools and materials required to install these doors can be found at home centers.

By switching it to continuous shoot rather than thinking about every image, you can hold down your shutter and take multiple exposures. Doing this sometimes allows us to create a bit of a story in our photos. You've all seen it, just that moment when someone slips over, someone falls over, something happens. By staying on continuous shoot, you're actually getting more photos that you can actually work in to be one complete story. If we have a look at this event here, this was taken in Brazil two years ago at Carnivale. I happened to be walking by just as the float threw a bucket of water onto these two young ladies. I caught the water just hitting. You can see the actual water droplets just as they're starting to connect with the girls, followed by the shriek when they decided that, yeah, it was a bit cold. Now let's try and turn away from the water. And finally the, "Hey, we're still in Brazil, and we're still pretty," photograph at the end of the series. By using continuous mode, that can happen with your son scoring a goal in a soccer game, or your daughter executing a ballet move in the school concert. Creating that series and having that continuous shoot mode is going to give you a lot more memories to remember forever.

Testing Smart Automatic Water Shutoff Valves | Ask This Old House
Ask This Old House plumbing and heating expert Richard Trethewey tests two different styles of smart automatic water shutoff valves #ThisOldHouse #AskTOH SUBSCRIBE to This Old House: http://bit.ly/SubscribeThisOldHouse Cost: $600 and up Shopping List: Point-activated smart water shutoff valve [https://amzn.to/2LpThh1] Valve body-activated smart water shutoff valve [https://amzn.to/2ySW53z] Steps for testing smart automatic water shutoff valves: 1. Kevin and Richard recap that any smart automatic water shutoff valve can both help prevent catastrophic bursts and minimize flood damage. 2. Right now, these devices generally fall under two schools of design: a. Point Sensor Activated: Sensors are placed in “high risk areas,” like around a washing machine, under a water tank, etc. Sensors then connect remotely to a valve that’s installed near the main shutoff. When the sensors detect water, they communicate with the valve and tell it to shut off. i. Pros: Fast response time once it detects a leak, and it can talk to a large number of sensors. ii. Cons: If there are plumbing failures where there isn’t a sensor, it won’t work. b. Valve Body Activated: The valve has components on the inside that allow it to measure the overall health and activity of the waterpipes, which varies from valve to valve. Most of these types of valves measure the flow rate of water, which helps them determine what fixtures are being used in the house. If the valve detects an excessive flow of water, it will shut the valve off. i. Pros: All the smarts are in the shutoff valve itself, making it easier to keep track of than the system of components for point sensor valves, the information the valve collects can help it differentiate and improve water usage in the house, meaning it’s useful even when it’s not detecting plumbing failures, and the valve is not dependent on sensors “finding” the leaks. If there’s a plumbing failure anywhere in the system, it will close the valve. ii. Cons: There’s a slightly slower response time than point sensor valves (because it’s so smart, it needs to “think” about whether this water is being used for something else or if it’s actually a plumbing failure, and it can trigger “false alarms” if a large amount of water is being used and the valve worries that it’s a flood. Resources: Richard explained that most modern automatic water shutoff valves fall under two categories of design: sensor-activated and valve body activated. The sensor-activated valves are usually more economical and have a faster response time, since their primary function is to detect leaks and other plumbing failures. The sensor-activated valve Richard demonstrated was a Floodmaster App-Based Wireless Plumbing Leak Detection & Automatic Water Shut-Off System [https://amzn.to/2ySW53z], which is manufactured by Reliance Detection Technologies (https://ift.tt/2WDafyU). The kit comes with two sensors and additional ones can be purchased and paired. The valve body activated valves have more features to them, including usage reports and running health tests to try and catch plumbing failures ahead of time. The all-in-one smart valve Richard demonstrated was the Phyn Plus Smart Water Assistant + Shutoff [https://amzn.to/2LpThh1], which is manufactured by Phyn (https://www.phyn.com/).

How to Install a USB Outlet | This Old House: Live
Ask This Old House Master Electrician Heath Eastman upgrades a standard receptacle to one that has USB inputs as part of This Old House: Live [https://www.thisoldhouse.com/21191475/this-old-house-live-content-schedule]—an initiative providing daily programming and opportunities to connect with our experts during these challenging times. #ThisOldHouse #AskTOH SUBSCRIBE to This Old House: http://bit.ly/SubscribeThisOldHouse Cost: $20 Time: 30 minutes Difficulty: Moderate Shopping List: USB receptacle [https://thd.co/3fNIL14] Decora cover plate [https://thd.co/2T5ENqP] Tools: Phillips screwdriver [https://amzn.to/35W1d2U] Flathead screwdriver [https://amzn.to/2WVBvaV] Wire strippers [https://amzn.to/2WSFR2j] Voltage tester (optional USB voltage tester) [https://amzn.to/2Wvk3uR] Steps for Upgrading to a USB Outlet: Please note: All electrical projects present a shock hazard. If you’re not comfortable doing the work, please hire a licensed professional. 1. Start by shutting the power off at the main breaker. 2. Use the voltage tester to ensure that power has actually been cut off to the receptacle. 3. Remove the cover plate of the old receptacle using the flathead screwdriver. 4. Unscrew the receptacle from the electrical box. 5. Disconnect the wires from the old receptacle using the Phillips screwdriver. 6. Connect the wires to the new receptacle, ensuring that the ground wire connects to the ground screw, the white wires to the neutral terminal, and the black wires connect to the hot terminal. 7. Secure the new receptacle to the electrical box. 8. Attach the cover plate over the receptacle. 9. Turn the power back on. Please note: In some jurisdictions, replacing a receptacle also requires that the corresponding source in the electrical panel needs to be upgraded to have arc-fault protection. Check with a licensed electrician to see if that code applies to your area and make sure it gets updated. 10. Test the receptacle to ensure it works. A USB voltage tester can test the USB plugs. Resources: All electrical projects present a shock hazard, so Heath suggests only tackling a project like this if you feel comfortable doing it. If not, hire a licensed professional. In his kitchen, Heath installed a Leviton 3.6A USB Dual Type A In-Wall Charger with 15 Amp Tamper-Resistant Outlets [https://thd.co/3fNIL14] in black. Normally, in a kitchen, receptacles need to be GFCIs or at least have GFCI protection. In this case, Heath already has a GFCI receptacle upstream in his wiring, so his new receptacle is still protected, but if yours is not or the receptacle being replaced is a GFCI, be sure the new receptacle is a GFCI as well. The voltage tester Heath uses is an Ideal E-Z Check Outlet Tester [https://thd.co/2YZJkil]. He also mentioned that they now make USB voltage testers, which can be found at any home center. The other tools Heath used for this job, including the Phillips and flathead screwdrivers and the wire strippers can all be found at home centers.

How to Anchor Hardscaping with Plants | This Old House: Live
Ask This Old House landscape contractor Jenn Nawada helps out a friend with some plantings that work well with a winding, brick walkway. This Old House: Live [https://ift.tt/3aSo5Cl] is an initiative providing daily programming and opportunities to connect with our experts during these challenging times. #ThisOldHouse #AskTOH SUBSCRIBE to This Old House: http://bit.ly/SubscribeThisOldHouse Cost: $200 and up, depending on the selected plants Time: 2 hours Difficulty: Moderate Shopping List: Desired plants [https://thd.co/2YGPJim] Mulch [https://ift.tt/2WBy2iC] Tools: Shovel [https://amzn.to/3fs5I9K] Hose [https://amzn.to/35AaWf4] Steps for Anchoring Hardscaping with Plants: 1. Start by selecting the plants for around the hardscape. In general, Jenn considers the following when selecting plants: • Be sure to select plants that will bloom in different seasons, so there’s always some color along the walkway. • Take note of how much sun the area receives and select plants that will thrive in those conditions accordingly. • Consider colors. At Mark’s house, Jenn picked a Japanese maple to bring out the red of the brick walkway, and she also picked a few varieties of evergreens, which is the complementary color of the red walkway. 2. Stage the plants in the bed. Keep taller plants towards the back and shorter plants towards the front. 3. Dig a hole twice as wide and just as deep as each plant. 4. Tease the roots of the plant with your fingers. 5. Place the plant in the hole. 6. Backfill the plant with soil. Jenn recommends adding a little starter fertilizer to help the roots get established. 7. Repeat this process for the rest of the plants. 8. Water the plants with a garden hose. Make sure the water gets to the base of the plants and not just on the tops of the foliage. 9. Add mulch to keep the weeds down and the soil moist. Resources: Jenn selected a variety of plants for Mark’s side yard, including a Japanese maple tree, boxwoods, hostas, and a mascon. These can all be found at nurseries.

How Long Alcohol Remains in the Body | Alcoholism
Alcoholism is disease, here’s some resources to help you fight back: Responsible Drinking: A Moderation Management Approach http://amzn.to/1ZdgP9f I Need to Stop Drinking!: How to get back your self-respect. http://amzn.to/1VEqbeU Why You Drink and How to Stop: A Journey to Freedom: http://amzn.to/1Q8pAv2 Alcoholics Anonymous: The Big Book: http://amzn.to/1N0rttl Alcoholics: Dealing With an Alcoholic Family Member, Friend or Someone You Love: http://amzn.to/1j9cvH4 Watch more How to Understand Alcoholism videos: https://ift.tt/2ZjgyJR People often want to know how long alcohol will remain in their body after they stop drinking. What's interesting about this is that while people absorb alcohol in very different ways and at very different speeds, the excretion of alcohol occurs exactly the same from person to person. If you have a blood alcohol level of .15, which is just about two times the legal alcohol limit, to be considered drunk. It will take 10 hours for you to actually have no alcohol left in your body. So our bodies excrete alcohol in several different ways. About 10% of the alcohol in your body will be excreted through breath and through perspiration. And the rest will be excreted over time through urine. But, again, everyone metabolizes alcohol at the same rate, which is at .015 blood alcohol concentration per hour. So, again, if you have a blood alcohol level of .15, which is a very high alcohol level, it will take 10 hours. If it's half of that, it will take five hours. So it is predictable how long it will take for alcohol to actually leave your body.

This Old House | Air Tight House (S40 E8) | FULL EPISODE
Richard watches as the home is sealed against air leaks. Jeff reviews his pre-drywall checklist. Kevin sees the landscape plan. Jeff fabricates pieces for porch columns and rails. Tommy puts on shingles as the final layer of the exterior wall system. #ThisOldHouse #AskTOH SUBSCRIBE to This Old House: http://bit.ly/SubscribeThisOldHouse With a net zero house, preventing air leakage is very important. Richard watches a process that finds all cracks in the house and sprays a sealant into them. Jeff reviews the second floor plans with apprentice Kevin to confirm door swings, bathroom fixtures and valve locations. They also mark out stud locations to be seen after the drywall is up. He clearly labels information for the subcontractors in order to save time later. Outside, Kevin meets landscape architect Tom Ryan who reviews his plans. The first order of business is to make sure there is enough sun exposure on the solar panels that will live on the new barn’s south facing roof. Some trees will need to come down and some will need to be trimmed back. The second goal is to create spaces in the yard for the family members to work on projects as well as to relax. At the back of the house, Jeff shows a model of a cutaway he made to illustrate the exterior wall components for a net zero house. The wall is assembled with layers of insulation, OSB sheathing, engineered panels, air and water barrier and cedar fabric, bringing the R-value to almost 30. For the final layer, Tommy shows how to stagger the white cedar shingles using stainless steel staples. He works with Jeff and Kevin to finish off the corner.

Understanding Thirdhand Smoke | Ask This Old House
Ask This Old House home technology expert Ross Trethewey and painter Mauro Henrique discuss how to remove a cigarette smell from a home and why it is important to do so #ThisOldHouse #AskTOH SUBSCRIBE to This Old House: http://bit.ly/SubscribeThisOldHouse Cost: $25,000 and up Skill Level: Professional Steps for understanding thirdhand smoke: 1. Ross explains that the lingering smell left behind by cigarette smokers is actually a form of smoke called thirdhand smoke. 2. Thirdhand smoke is a residue that contains the chemicals from a cigarette and sticks to any porous surface, including carpeting, drywall, furniture, etc. 3. Aside from the nuisance of the smell, thirdhand smoke is also as harmful as secondhand smoke; a recent study indicated that children exposed to thirdhand smoke had equal levels of nicotine in their urine as children exposed to secondhand smoke. 4. To remove the smell and the residue, Mauro suggests that, at a bare minimum, everything needs to be cleaned with a tsp solution. This process includes cleaning the ceilings, the walls, baseboards, floorboards, etc. and then painting over the materials with an alcohol-based paint to seal the building materials. 5. Ross suggests that cleaning the surfaces may not even be enough. If that thirdhand smoke residue has been on the surface for a long time, then the building materials have absorbed it and they need to be completely replaced, which would require a full gut renovation.

How to Deal with Your Child's Fears | 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: https://ift.tt/2Z0K6LO Hi, I'm here to talk about how to deal with your child's fears. The first thing is to realize that fears change based on a child's age. And so infants certainly have stranger anxiety, whereas toddlers will have separation anxiety. We all know the clinging to your leg kind of anxiety for pre-school. And then when you get a little older into the early school years, there may be some fears related to nighttime and bedtime. And then a little older than that, there are some real fears in terms of what's out there and the dangers in the world. Now in addition to that, you have some children that are just born more fearful, or worried, or anxious. So you want to look at the combination of how is your child in terms of what's age appropriate and how is your child in terms of their ability to manage their fears and your ability to help them with it. Now once you realize that your child is having some kind of fears, I think what you'd do depends on a few things. One is their age and certainly separation anxiety with the child going off to school. You don't want to linger and reinforce that fear too much, because what that does it often backfires in terms of the child thinking there is something fearful and that you need to take care of them. Later on, it's that you need to help kids have their own ability to solve their problems and their fears. Now when it's somebody that's school age, sometimes the imagination that's taking over in their fears will help with... You can use their imagination to talk about keeping that Ghostbusters kind of ointment by the bed. And so bad imagination will help their fears. Now you also want to always make sure that you teach your kids calming activities so that they can learn how to feel more relaxed and not anxious, because when you're scared, often your body is feeling worried and scared. In general, when you're helping children with their fears, what you always want to do is make sure you don't dismiss their fears. You want to accept that they do feel afraid and just saying, "Oh, it's no big deal. Don't worry about that," really doesn't make them feel any better, because it's not empowering them or teaching them something to do. So you might want to teach them how to relax, how to confront their fears, how to think about it differently, how to reassure them in terms of maybe checking in the closet that there aren't any monsters there. But in terms of reassuring them, you want to be very careful about setting up a system where they're constantly going to you for reassurance. They sometimes call that reassurance seeking, and then after a while, what it teaches them in terms of managing a fear is going to you to fix it instead of finding those strategies within themselves to fix or feel less afraid. Now when you have a child their worry is getting out of control, let's say they can't stop worrying, they have thoughts constantly in their mind about things that are so rare or they keep rationalizing that something bad will happen or a child that's stopping going to school because they're so afraid to leave you, then you really want to think about getting outside help so you both can figure out what better strategies are. So you both can figure out what are better strategies to manage this fear, so that you both feel safer and calmer.
