Alan,

Unless you are using materials that are guaranteed by the manufacturer for
"X" number of years (dry rot treatments etc), then one year is a sufficient
warranty period against faulty materials and defective workmanship (and
that's all you need to cover) - although as a 'selling point' you could
offer up to six years as a latent defect period (as used under SoGA) if you
are confident of your abilities and materials.

  Where is the IR receiver in RCA rear projection TV?         


Author: eganders
Date: May 13, 2008 13:34

I have an RF remote with an IR retransmitter. This retransmitter has
little flasher uints that you stick on the component you want to
control. I have an eight year old 60 inch RCA rear projection TV,
chassis number of PTK195AC (model P60812BL) that does not work well
with these if I put them on the front of the screen. I am going to
have to find the actual IR receiver and stick one on it if I want to
use these with this TV.

Does anyone know where the receiver unit is on the chassis? What does
it look like. I have been all over that chassis, but I don't even see
any discussion about the IR receiver in the service manual. I know it
is there someplace, but it will take a good long while to find it and
I thought i would ask you folks, since you have helped so much in the
past.

  Sticking an alarm door contact magnet to a UPVC door         


Author: ARWadworth
Date: May 13, 2008 12:43

My parents have had a front door changed along with some other work. This
now means the surface mount alarm door contact will not clear the gap above
the door. I removed the magnet from the plastic case and stuck it to the top
of the door with Sticks Like S*** to make it fit. It did not stick.

Can someone suggest a better adhesive for sticking metal to UPVC please? I
do not want to be left with globs of old glue on the door from failed
attempts! The Sticks Like S*** came off the door easily.

Adam

PS It is the magnet out of one of these
<http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/TS012.html> and the reed switch was
sunk back, skimmed over and is not visible.

I am renovating a property which at the moment is unoccupied.
I would like to have building insurance but am having difficulty obtaining
this as it is unoccupied.
I am there every day working.

So I'm looking for insurance companies that would take this on.

  garden swing         


Author: Philipj.cosson
Date: May 13, 2008 11:36

Hi,

I want to build a garden swing for my kids - but my son is a 6 foot 2
tall 14 year old.

I have seen an adult garden swing for sale which is suitable, but it
is too big, as it is a triple swing and it's base is 6.5m wide ans
3.5m deep.

I have the old readers digest plans for a garden swing that is for
children which looks really attractive, but i'm not sure it will
scale.

The readers digest plans don't use an A frame. They use 9ft 6 x 2
timbers sunk into the ground 2ft and concreted.

I would need to scale this up I think, which is where the questions
start

a) do you think that a swing like this can work? it seems that A
frames are all the rage.
b) anybody know a way of calculating how high the upright has to be to
give an adult sized kid a proper swing experience?
c) what size uprights, how deep, would the group think I should try?
