Burglary Proofing Windows - Polycarbonate?
Comments (37)all excellent comments, I have a 1873 house close to a road intersection,, the house has casement windows. A alternative to Poly Carbonate is DR acrylic, damage resistant, acrylic Polycarbonate mix. A tough plastic, especially in 6mm (1/4inch) sheeting, it goes milky in excessive heat but good in shady conditions. To cut plastic simply use a tungsten tip saw, sharp with a clamped guide rail for the saw, (always have max revs before approaching the material, do not twist the saw slow forward and follow through,,,easy!, (or clamp between two pieces of wood, cut all three) a sharp carbon blade electric plane finely set to finish to size, if wooden frames glue and screw to rebated frame. If your window size is small, a glazier can supply toughened glass or laminated bullet proof glass at a reasonable price, but a UV PC pane (scratched pane) can easily be replaced. Remember ('a bit of Ossy', in this ever increasing 'shit world' God helps those who help themselves, love can be contagious!) the aim is to slow down would be intruders. If the windows are key locked internally a circular saw could only make the window look like Swiss cheese, from memory PC burns with high heat with black smoke, a don't think it would be a burglars option. have a nice day,,,Glenn Old Junction Hotel Neergabby Western Australia....See MoreWhat I hate most about my kitchen
Comments (58)#1: The total lack of water pressure at the sink, and that it has to run for several minutes before you can get any hot water. The lack of a sprayer -- but that would also require better water pressure. #2: The chipped, stained, enameled cast iron, 46-year-old double sink. Impossible to clean completely, not big enough to wash the roasting pan or the stove burners (enameled cast iron that would come clean if I could soak them, impossible otherwise). #3: The inadequate lighting. #4: The beat-up lower cabinets, whose veneer has delaminated from the plywood along the bottom. #5: A wall oven in the corner with wall cabinets nearby that prevent anyone from standing in front of the oven. We've been removing hot, heavy casseroles and roasts from the side for 46 years now. Think it's too soon to change? The good news is we can work on problems 1-3 without a huge, extensive remodel, and will be doing so this summer. The beat-up cabs will be easier to live with when sink work goes faster......See MoreApril Fools Joke at work
Comments (68)"To the person who works for the State of California, I hope your [sic] not using the states [sic] time to make personal phone calls, making doctors appointments, talking to a mechanic or just plain chit chatting with your co-workers while your [sic] on the clock." I'm much too busy each day to waste my or the state's time. The state has had a hiring freeze for quite some time -- when we lose employees (whether the employee dies, or leaves the agency), we cannot fill the position. As I've stated previously, I work in Information Technology. Our division has 40% fewer employees than it did 18 months ago. We have just as much work to do as we did before, but fewer people to do it. Therefore, each remaining employee has had to take on additional duties. Additionally, our former Governor signed Executive Orders and had his cronies put through some new laws mandating the statewide consolidation of servers and e-mail services. (You may think this will save the state money, but it won't. It will end up being more expensive because each agency is going to have to pay "big bucks" to the Technology Agency (the State CIO's agency) for them to "administer" everything.) So, the agencies have the looming deadlines to change their individual Active Directory forests to meet the new state standards. I'm entitled to a one-hour lunch each day, but I eat my lunch at my desk while I'm working. And, no, I don't take the time to go get food - I bring my lunch every day. So that's one hour of work for which I don't get paid; and I don't leave work until at least 30 minutes after my workday is over. It's more important to me to get the work done so the end users (the agency's employees) can do what they need to do. (I am a Domain Admin and Active Directory Administrator.) debbie_ab said, "I would feel sorry for you, but my pay before taxes is LESS than the amount of money you lost during that time each month. Minus the taxes and it's way less. And we manage." I never said, or implied, that my husband and I "didn't manage" during the pay reduction. I also didn't say that the $2,500 was net pay. It was gross pay. Even with the pay reduction, our combined gross monthly salaries were more than the gross annual salary for many folks. But people buy things - homes, vehicles, etc. - and arrange vacations, travel, etc., according to what they can afford based on their income. When you have bills due and things planned based upon that income, and then suddenly get hit with a not-insignificant income reduction, it forces you to change your lifestyle....See MoreEarthquake-proofing open shelves?
Comments (32)Oh, how interesting. Check this out, from dictionary.com: gallery GALLERY: 1500, from M.Fr. galerie "a long portico," from M.L. galeria, of uncertain origin, perhaps alteration of galilea "church porch," which is probably from L. Galilaea "Galilee," the northernmost region of Palestine; church porches sometimes were so called from being at the far end of the church. Sense of "building to house art" first recorded 1591; that of "people who occupy a (theater) gallery" (contrasted with "gentlemen of the pit") first by Lovelace, 1649, hence to play to the gallery (1872). GALLEY: c.1300, from O.Fr. galie, from M.L. galea, from Late Gk. galea, of unknown origin. The word has made its way into most Western European languages. Originally "low flat-built seagoing vessel of one deck," once common in the Mediterranean; meaning "cooking range on a ship" dates from 1750. The printing sense is from 1652, from Fr. gal�e in the same sense, in reference to the shape of the oblong tray that holds the type. As a short form of galley-proof it is attested from 1890. To knock something or someone galleywest is Amer.Eng. slang (1875, originally in Mark Twain), a corruption of western England dialectal collyweston, name of a village in Northamptonshire that somehow came to signify "askew, not right." I used to work in publishing and I had forgotten all about galley proofs. So in the sense that aliris's kitchen may be prone to movement like that on a ship, galley may be the more appropriate term after all! Aliris: Who's the rampant high-profile danger you had in mind? We have lots of those. And I think that the cherry dowels might be a very nice solution if you can't make the brass thing work....See Moreklem1
