How to Cat Proof Your Computer

post from How to of the Day on 29 March 2011 10:34:07 PM. © How to of the Day

Many cats seem to be fascinated with computers. Maybe it's the warm place on top of the monitor, maybe it's that enticing clicking sound, or maybe it's because this thing is stealing all the attention and occupying the fingers that should be scratching behind their ears. Whatever the reason, neither the fur nor the lounging is doing your computer much good and kitty risks harming herself if she gets entangled.

344 Nebraskans = Barn Moving

post from Toolmonger: The Week In Tools on 29 March 2011 10:34:07 PM. © Toolmonger: The Week In Tools

video details and more

We hadn’t felt the burning need to watch 344 Nebraskans in trucker hats pick up and carry a big-ass barn uphill — until we heard about this clip showing just that; it then became a moral imperative. This news video from what is obviously the early 80′s, bad tracking and all, is actually pretty cool once you get past the porn-star stash the reporter’s sporting.

Sure, it’s fun to watch, and the folks were good sports about it by turning it into a community event. The story we want to know is, who welded up all that steel into hand rails to lift the damn thing and then decided where/how to attach the supports? Then, after the news van and camera crew leaves, after all the good-hearted folks return home and all the magic of the moment is but a memory fading in the Nebraskan summer air, some poor bastard has to cut all those supports off and fill the holes in the side of the barn.

To this man, we say: Fine work, sir. You are unappreciated in your time.

no I can’t… yes WE can… [YouTube]

That's a wrap - coffee table

Materials: Lack coffee table, Mod Podge, gift wrap, 1-2" foam brush, high density foam roller, polyurethane

Description: The finish on this coffee table had a way of collecting and showing off dust, fingerprints, and crumbs like you wouldn't believe. It was driving me nuts so I decided to decoupage the top to add color, texture, and dimension to an otherwise boring table.

1. Use heavy-weight gift wrap,the non-shiny kind you buy by the sheet works really best for this project. Measure and cut to cover the surface of the table.

2. Gather your mod podge supplies. You will need a foam brush, a high-density, ultra smooth roller, a container to pour your mod podge into, and a damp cloth for wiping away extra glue.

3. Carefully roll on a thick coat of mod podge with the roller. Working quickly, start at one corner and line up your paper with the edge of the coffee table and carefully unroll it on to the layer of glue. Using your hands, smooth away any wrinkles or bubbles that appear on the surface. If you notice your glue is drying before your paper goes down, try working in smaller sections using the foam brush to get between the paper and the table as you unroll it and press it down.

4. Wipe away any excess glue and let dry for 30 min. Add 2 more coats of mod podge letting it dry completely between coats.

5. Finish off the table with a coat or two of polyurethane using another high density foam roller and you're done!
