		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IT&#039;S A LAZY MORNIN&#039;.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i haven&#039;t done anything today yet, other than get dressed and go buy some cigarettes just down the road. yea i smoke. i didn&#039;t 8 months ago. now i do. arghh. now i can&#039;t put them down. started when ron and i split up. now wish i hadn&#039;t picked &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.door.me&quot;&gt;security doors&lt;/a&gt; them up again. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;billy&#039;s coming home early to go to the eye doctor today. he&#039;s gotta have some glasses before getting his license renewed. saturday&#039;s his b&#039;day. he&#039;ll be 48. march is mine. i&#039;ll be 47. can&#039;t believe i&#039;m knocking on the door of 50 so soon. i remember wishing to be 16, then 18, then 20. I still wish that. lol. only i&#039;m looking back at it instead of forward. lol. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;am trying to figure out how to tell billy i need some space &amp;amp; time to think things through. don&#039;t wanna do it on his b&#039;day, but have gotta pick a time to say something about how i&#039;m feeling. i have a counseling appointment in the morning. maybe she&#039;ll shed some light on the subject. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i may try to ride this afternoon sometime to get away for a while. need an escape of some kind. wish i could just run away and hide from this mess i&#039;ve gotten myself into. j&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I told the race horse guy...jerry...that i wouldn&#039;t be there this morning, that i won&#039;t work his yearlings while they&#039;re in the barn. it&#039;s just too dangerous for me. if they rear up or kick there&#039;s nowhere for me to go. he tried to change my mind, but i&#039;m adamant about my safety. i&#039;d rather he bring them here for training, but he won&#039;t do that. and i&#039;m not too keen on driving 30 min. every day to his place either. so guess that situation is a wash. *sigh* mama told me when in doubt don&#039;t. so i&#039;m not. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well that&#039;s it for now. take care. chow for now all. ...........................&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MANIC......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;been manic today. i hate being bipolar and having a bad day. i get weepy. i hate that. can&#039;t concentrate. thinking is like looking through muddy water. the brain just doesn&#039;t work the way i need it to. i&#039;ve been to town twice, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.doors-china.com&quot;&gt;wooden doors&lt;/a&gt; and both times have not accomplished what i&#039;ve set out to do. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i hate bein bipolar. it&#039;s hard when the mind won&#039;t cooperate, and you KNOW it&#039;s not working right but there&#039;s nothing you can do about it. it&#039;s very difficult to function in a normal capacity. therefore i cry. i&#039;ve tried to get out and function, and i guess considering what little i&#039;ve done, it&#039;s gone alright. I managed to pick up my meds, go to the bank &amp;amp; get my taxes filled out. that&#039;s saying a lot when my brain is gone on vacation. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;billy keeps talking marriage and i keep putting him off. yes i&#039;ve got cold feet. don&#039;t know what to do about that either. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;someone asked me todaay if i miss ronnie. of course i do. i spent 18 yrs with him. how can i not miss him? I wish he&#039;d call and want to come back, but that&#039;s never going to happen. he&#039;s moved on with sharon. *sigh* all i can do is try to do my best with life as it is now. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well, thats about all for now. have slowed down on the cigs. may be able to quit afterall. TTFN folks. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>

		<description>How To Install Interior Door Trim In Your Home In order to provide the finishing touch to the installed door, installation of interior door trim around the door is necessary. If you want to install interior trim for your doors, it is not a difficult job to do, if you have right tools with you. To perform this job successfully, you need a whole host of tools including Miter Saw, Nail Gun, level, square, tape measure, pencil, shims, wood or caulk fillers, center punch, 4 penny and 6 penny nails, rag and some paint or stain. If you need to fix extension jambs, you may also need table saw or skill saw with fence in addition. This guide sheds light on trimming out both interior and exterior doors &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.doors-china.com/&quot;&gt;Wood doors&lt;/a&gt; consisting of door jambs previously extended out flush with the completed sheet-rocked wall.

Here, two 8 Installation of the vertical colonial case molding trim pieces On each side of the door frame, the right, left and top extension jambs, you make a couple of small cross hair marks. These marks will help you to identify the height of the inside edges of the trim pieces.

While making the marks, you should make sure that there is 0.125 With the help of Miter Saw, you first make a 45 After cutting your pieces, you should touch up the ends with paint or stain, and then place it in proper position. You should line up the bottom edge point to the cross hair mark. If you find it properly lined up, you should nail into position with the help of a trim nailer on the outside edge of the trim. Otherwise, you may need to re-trim it. In addition to this, you may need to make sure that you position the nails more or less 1 Installation of the top colonial case molding trim piece To begin this process, you first measure the distance between the central corners of both of the vertical colonial case molding trim board.

		<title>How To Install A New Doorbell Yourself</title>
		<category>1</category>
		<pubDate>2008-07-22T13:57:47Z</pubDate>
		<description>How To Install A New Doorbell Yourself&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its embarrassing to say the least, when you have guests who ring a doorbell that doesn&#039;t ring. You could easily save yourself this embarrassment, with fixing the doorbell yourself. A doorbell is one of the easiest do-it-yourself electrical projects you might undertake! With just a few easy to do steps, you could re-install the bell as well as salvage your reputation among friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;New Installation&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can take it from me that this DIY project is for the complete and total non-DIYer too. An easy way of installing a doorbell when your existing one does not work is to buy a wireless model. Thats a foolproof enough plan!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In technical terminology, a wireless doorbell is actually a transmitter. On pushing the doorbell button, a coded signal is sent to the receiver attached to the bell, this makes doorbell chime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Few advantages of the wireless doorbells are:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In case you find it difficult hearing the doorbell (even when its working that is), purchase more than one chime unit and tune all of them to the same button. By doing this, you can place chimes all around the house so that you hear the bell ringing wherever you are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This involves no wires and no more electricity charge than that for a small battery. In the button unit there is a battery. But you can plug most indoor chime units into an electrical outlet, which rules out charging many sets of batteries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Though replacing a wired doorbell is easy for most DIY-ers, this one is even faster. At the most you need time to decide between the brass and gold finish, otherwise this project is a blink your eye, finish project!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Replacement Installation&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those of you, really pressed for time or not interested in dealing with wires, just change your wired doorbell with one of the wireless models. You could remove your previous doorbell switch with a flat screwdriver; tie up the wires with an electrical tape, while putting them again into the hole of the doorbell. Then the new switch is fixed to the door frame, ensuring that the hole is covered. In the interiors, plug in the chime unit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Putting a new wired doorbell in place of an older model should not take you more than a half-hour. What you will need is a new switch and a flat screwdriver. If you want to have things turn out easier or maybe flaunt your superlative toolkit, think of having wire strippers ready.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those of you, who want to purchase a new &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.doors-china.com&quot;&gt;Wood doors&lt;/a&gt; chime unit as well, find and change the old chime unit in the same way. Remember which wire goes into which terminal, however, since here they actually have to be connected to the correct terminals on the new chime unit.&lt;br /&gt;</description>

Most of which will begin with some small alterations to your door, and can be down without a large amount of money being put into it.

And you are able to achieve this even on a low budget. In order to increase the strength of your existing door lock you will need to take out the original short mounting screws and replacing them with one&#039;s that are much longer, such as with 3 inch screws. The short mounting screws are going to be on the door jamb not on the door itself. The reason why this is going to increase the security of the door is because the 3 inch screws that you are putting in are going to get screwed into the stud of the door, and make it much more difficult to break under the force of somebody kicking in the door.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are the best ways to improve the security of your door.

		<description>What You Need To Know When Choosing An Exterior Door&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Exterior doors for your home come in a variety of materials, colors, and designs. New materials, such as vinyl have provided manufacturers with the ability to create exterior doors that need little maintenance, provide security, energy efficiency and add value to your home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The front door of a home greats your guests and its styling says a lot about the home owner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wood&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wood exterior doors are desirable for their natural beauty and structural strength. They are widely available in a number of different woods ranging from pine, oak, cedar, mahogany, and walnut. They do however require significant protection from the elements as well as regular maintenance. Manufacturers are required to treat wood with a preservative to help prevent rotting but ongoing maintenance is the only way to ensure that your wood exterior door lasts and performs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Steel&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Steel exterior doors are actually made from a combination of materials. The interior structural components (rails and stiles) are often wood, the inner core is filed with insulating foam and the outer skin is made of galvanized steel. The inner wood structure gives it stability and strength. The foam core provides good insulation and the steel skins are durable, resistant to warping or rotting and require little maintenance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Steel exterior doors can be painted any number of colors. They are also available with pre-finished PVC coatings that simulate a wood-grain finish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fiberglass&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fiberglass exterior doors are relatively new and are constructed in the same fashion as steel exterior doors with wood stiles and rails and an inner core of injected foam. The outer skin is fiberglass. Fiberglass is very strong, durable and energy efficient. In addition to a flat painted surface, fiberglass can also be embossed to give it the texture and appearance of wood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vinyl&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vinyl exterior doors are also relatively new. They employ a multi-chambered vinyl structure for both the frames and panels (sashes) utilizing a steel, aluminum, or wood re-enforcement to add strength and prevent distortion. Vinyl doors are good thermal insulators because of their multi-chambered designs and offer good thermal performance ratings. Vinyl is a very durable material and is resistant to extreme weather conditions. It is also very resistant to breakage and provides good protection against forced entry through the door. Vinyl doors will not rust, dent or scratch, and require no special maintenance.&lt;br /&gt;</description>

		<title>Internal vs External Doors</title>

		<description>Internal vs External Doors&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you are considering doors, you realize that they are either passageways from one room to another or from the building to the outside. These are internal vs. external doors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many people view a door as a door and do not see much difference between &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.doors-china.com&quot;&gt;Pvc Doors&lt;/a&gt; internal vs. external doors. In the case of door construction, this basic function difference is all important. The external door is more than just a passageway from one place to another. It is a barrier to intrusion and against the elements. The internal door does little more than provide privacy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This functional difference dictates the material and construction method of the doors. An external door needs to be made of a sturdy and solid material that can resist the exposure to the outside and also is not easily broken down to provide security. The materials used in the construction of the external door must address all of these concerns and like external windows must all consider insulation and sealing as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The external door must not only be of heavier construction, but must also be mounted in a more secure manner. It would not provide much security if it could easily be kicked in or knocked off its hinges. So, not only the materials, but also the mounting must be selected with the function of security in mind. Since the internal door is mostly used for privacy purposes, these factors are not as important. Internal doors are usually of hollowed wooden construction and are mounted on simple door frames.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are some cases, such as in certain commercial buildings, where an internal door will require external door standards. This is because the function of security is important despite the location of the door. Although the terms external and internal door refer to location, they could also refer to function in this case. The external door is sturdy and solid and provides security. The internal door is light and provides only privacy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;External doors can take many forms from the stately double doors of a large home entry way to the sliding glass doors leading from a downstairs room to the back patio. Despite the form that they take, the main functions of protection, insulation, and a barrier to the outside elements should never be forgotten in the selection process. It is in the internal door that imagination and style can be used. The internal door can become a part of the decorative motif of the internal design since privacy is its major function.&lt;br /&gt;</description>

		<title>Glass Door Knobs - A Nice Way To Add A Decorative Touch To Your Home</title>

		<description>Glass Door Knobs - A Nice Way To Add A Decorative Touch To Your Home&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are you looking to add a decorative touch to your home, but are not quite sure how to do it? Well, you might think that it would be a hard thing to do, but really, there are many nice simple options to get the job done. One of those options is glass door knobs. They have a beautiful appearance and are a great way to spruce up the look of any dwelling space.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Glass door knobs have a fantastic look to them because of the many lovely ways that they can be cut and shaped along with all the beautiful colors that they come in. For example, you can get one that has a smooth, sleet cut shaped like a round ball that comes in a clear, crystal type color. Or, for something a little more elaborate, you can get one that has an octagon shape that is a bright violet color. If you want something that kind of falls in between those two choices, then another nice option is one that has a rosette shape and is an amber color.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, there are just a lot of choices to choose from, including ones that have reflecting starburst centers, others that have a fluted design, and ones of all types of colors including baby blue, emerald green, and even plain white. Each one of these has a fabulous look to them and would be an ideal choice for the doors in your home. You could go with just one straight design for every door in your home, or you could change things up and go with different ones for the different rooms that they open into. For a great way to see the many glass door knobs that are available, do not head down to your local hardware store, instead just turn on the family computer and browse all of the online stores. It is a fast way to comparison shop and you will be able to find exactly what you are looking for in no time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One thing to keep in mind when purchasing glass door knobs is that they are made to be used inside your home and not outdoors. You see, they are not as durable as other door knob options because they are made out of glass. So, if used outdoors, they will not be able to handle all the elements and might break under the harsh conditions. Also, when used indoors, make sure to take special care of them and buy ones that have a long warranty. Then, if they should happen to break, the cost to replace them will be covered by the manufacturer and not you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you ar</description>
