all the reasons having a son can be challenging!!!!!!!!!!!
1.) A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq. ft.
house 4 inches deep.
2.) If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with
roller blades, they can ignite.
3.) A 3-year old Boy’s voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded
restaurant.
4.) If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not
strong enough to rotate a 42 lb. boy wearing Batman underwear and a Superman
cape. It is strong enough, however, if tied to a paint can, to spread paint
on all four walls of a 20×20 ft. room.
5.) You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on.
When using a ceiling fan as a bat, you have to throw the ball up a few times
before you get a hit. A ceiling fan can hit a baseball a long way.
6.) The glass in windows (even double-pane) doesn’t stop a baseball
hit by a ceiling fan.
7)When you hear the toilet flush and the words “uh oh”, it’s
already too late.
8.) Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and lots of it. 9.) A six-year old Boy can start a fire with a flint rock even
though a 36-year old Man says they can only do it in the movies.
10.) Certain Lego’s will pass through the digestive tract of a
4-year old Boy. 11.) Play dough and microwave should not be used in the same
sentence.
12.) Super glue is forever.
13.) No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool you still
can’t walk on water.
14.) Pool filters do not like Jell-O. 15.) VCR’s do not eject “PB & J” sandwiches even though TV
commercials show they do.
16.) Garbage bags do not make good parachutes. 17.) Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving. 18.) You probably DO NOT want to know what that odor is.
19.) Always look in the oven before you turn it on; plastic toys do
not like ovens. 20.) The fire department in Austin, TX has a 5-minute response time.
21.) The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms
dizzy.
22.) It will, however, make cats dizzy.
23.) Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.
24.) 80% of Women will pass this on to almost all of their friends,
with or without kids.
25.) 80% of Men who read this will try mixing the Clorox and brake
fluid.

Can see mail listing and can view messages in lower pane, but double-clicking does not open them to a full window display. Can click on a link in the message in the pane and it works. Windows 2000. Explorer 6.

My sons decided to see how far they could throw rocks over the house, needless to say one didn’t make it and know we have a broken window pane. My question is would I have to replace the whole window or just the outer pane? The window is doubled paned and didn’t bust through the inner pane.

Rob asked:


I have a poster that is 31 in. X 63 in. that I would like to frame. I have a salvaged patio door window that is 33 X 75. It’s bigger than I’d like but it’ll work and the price was right. However one pane is scratched and ideally I’d like only one pane for the picture frame. The glass is already out of the door frame and all that remains is a thin aluminum channel and a rubber outer gasket along the edges between the two panes. How would I separate the panes? Would I merely have to remove the gasket and aluminum channel or will there be unforeseen (to me) consequences if I try? Thank you!

Theweewomanagain asked:


How do i go about restoring a really old wooden window?
Got a really old bathroom window in my new (but ancient) house ( 6 panes and complete with original black Iron fittings and handle) But It’s in a bit of a sorry state and i would prefer to have a go at restoring it rather than replacing it with a modern double glazed window. The panes are still good and the frames are still solid enough but the paint is all crumbling away, the wood looks old and grey but otherwise still solid. What’s the best way to go about restoring it to it’s former glory? Do i need to use some sort of special primer after sanding or what?

ev500cburke asked:


I live in the northeast (Western New York), in a well-developed suburban village. My gas and electric bills exceed $550.00 monthly, and I’m sick of it. It’s a big house, but it’s well insulated, and has 30 brand new double-pane argon-filled replacement windows. The house is about 3,500 square feet, and has a baseboard hot water heating system.

Strictly because of my absurd and ever-increasing utility bills, I want to create an energy independent home, if it’s possible. Wind, solar, hiring trolls to peddle bikes in the backyard… whatever the answer, I’d love to hear from knowledgeable people as to whether this is possible, and if so, how it can be achieved.

Thank you in advance.
