How Much Will My Laminate Countertop Cost?

So you've decided to install a new laminate countertop in your kitchen. Whether your home improvement project is to increase the value of your home or to create the dream look you've always dreamed of, price is always a consideration. By choosing laminate for your countertop you're choosing durability, ease of maintenance and customized look and feel at an affordable cost.

Power Sander

Laminate sheets can range in price from to 0 per linear foot based upon color, texture, manufacturer, design and location. First you must determine what type of laminate sheet you will choose for your countertop. You can then determine the material costs associated with your countertop.

Power Sander

Next determine the area of your countertop you will cover, one key point to this is to understand the difference between linear foot and a square foot. Countertop manufacturers build sheets that are customized to a depth of 24 inches the average depth of countertops. The average countertop is between 28-30 feet which means 28-30 linear feet if you measured by square foot your countertop would cover a 56-60 square feet. So measure the linear square feet of your countertop.

Now that you have your price per linear foot and total linear feet to be covered you can now determine your material costs.

[Price per linear foot * Total linear feet = Material Costs]

With your materials costs now known you must now make a decision, will you install the laminate countertop yourself or will you contract out the installation.

Improve Football Speed Immediately with Four Simple Drills

What is the best way to increase speed for football?

Power Sander

Improve acceleration!

Power Sander

This means getting to full speed in as little time as possible. Football requires short intense bursts of speed, and the most successful are those that can get to top speed quickly. Remember Barry Sanders? Not the fastest guy on the field but nobody accelerated better which is why he was so hard to bring down.

Teaching acceleration however can be tricky. It requires the athlete to apply more force into the ground during push-off to achieve a longer stride and cover more ground. Explaining this concept to any athlete, especially the younger ones, just gets them thinking too much. This is where simple hurdle drills can make it infinitely easier by making technique improvements more automatic.

The hurdles used for these drills are only 6 and 12 inches in height but spaced properly will force a greater stride length. Athletes should be instructed to push-off harder versus reaching to get over the hurdles. Proper spacing will also force the athlete to stay lower and get more forward lean to put the hips and legs at a greater mechanical advantage to push. It also forces a more powerful arm swing.

By adding a plyometric component to these drills, athletes will also learn how to land correctly. Just by timing them through the drills, they learn quickly how to land properly with good body control because it significantly improves their times. Landing hard with stiff legs will slow them down, versus a soft, quiet landing that results in greater acceleration and decreased times.

Here are four drills guaranteed to improve acceleration:

1) Hurdle Starts - these are ten yard sprints using 1 to 3 hurdles (6" height). Space the hurdles far enough apart that the athlete has push hard to get over each one. Use one hurdle initially to improve the first step and eliminate stutter stepping, then progress to three. Start from a standing position or from a three point.

2) 12" Hurdle Jump to Sprint over 2 hurdles - jump off two feet over a 12" hurdle, land on two and then accelerate over the next two hurdles for a total of 10 yards. Again, hurdles should be spaced progressively further apart to force more push off.

3) 12" Hurdle Jump to Sprint Laterally over 2 hurdles - same idea as #2, but move the hurdles to the side to force a cut then sprint. Start with the hurdles at a 45 degree angle to the 12" hurdles, progress to a 90 degree cut.

4) Single Leg Hurdle Hops to Sprint - set up three six inch hurdles equal distance apart. Hop over each hurdle using the same leg, then sprint 10 yards. Start by having the athlete stick the landing in a single leg squat position between the first two hurdles to force good landing technique. As they land over the third hurdle, immediately push off the landing leg into the sprint portion of the drill. Progress by speeding up the hops between the hurdles.

Tips for Success

Hurdles must be properly spaced to force the athlete to push harder. If too far apart they will try to reach to get over them. The difference between pushing and reaching is obvious to see for both the coach and the athlete. Do these drills by position or with kids of similar ability. Skill players tend to be faster off the line and can handle more spacing between the hurdles. The larger athletes tend to need less spacing, too much will cause stutter steps. Be creative. There are a number of ways to alter these drills to make them more challenging. Incorporate different jumps or change up the direction of the sprints. Have your lineman pull over them, throw to the receivers during the jump and then accelerate over the hurdles, etc. Just so you know it works, time the 10 yard dash without the hurdles. Add 3 hurdles properly spaced and run again. Times will drop immediately in most cases. Some kids will need a few reps to learn but all my athletes improve within three trials.

Floor Paint

Many of us have a garage floor that we want to paint or even a concrete basement floor. Is there an actual way to paint these floors and have the paint actually stay on without peeling off? Absolutely there is.

Power Sander

What most people don't realize is that when you paint a concrete floor, you don't buy the same kind of paint you would use on a wall. Concrete floor painting is more of just a coating using an epoxy base coat.

Power Sander

There are four main steps to painting your concrete floor. First prepare the floor surface by using an acid wash agent to pull up any stains or spills. Next apply the base coat epoxy solvent with a push broom. Then add color ships on to the floor to give it a nice speckled look. Lastly apply the topcoat which will look milky white, but will dry clear.

Painting wood floors can be as simple or as complex as you want it to be. If you don't want a shiny finish, but just want the floor painted follow these steps.

Sanding - Rent a power sander and sand down your wood floors very quickly. If you have small painting areas, just use a hand sander.

Dust Removal - Use a dry cloth to wipe away most of the dust. After doing this, mop your wood floor at least twice to make sure all dust is removed.

Paint - Exterior paint is the best type of paint to use as it is durable and easy to mop. Use a roller and put primer down first before you roll on the paint.

Common Power Tools For Common Household Repairs

Think that your trusty hand-powered screwdriver and some duct tape is all you need to keep your home in working order? Think again. Many common household repairs cannot be performed without the assistance of power tools.

Power Sander

Not only do they speed up the process, but they perform a better job that will last longer. You waste much less time and money as well as save yourself frustration if you fix it right the first time.

Power Sander

One common household chore that necessitates these tools is a putting together certain Swedish furniture that we love to hate. In fact, it isn't only furniture companies that are on the do-it-yourself for cheaper kick.

Things like bicycles and sports equipment often need to be self-assembled as well. While the instructions often claim you can perform the task with just the use of hand apparatus, the reality is that sloppy assembly will result in damage to the product or can even present a safety hazard.

Using these tools, such as simple and inexpensive cordless battery drills and electric screwdrivers will not only dramatically cut down on the time it takes to build the product, but will ensure a tight and safe seal.

Along the lines of putting furniture together, if you have ever moved or are planning to in the near future, you'll have to take it apart again. Taking down furniture safely and without damage can be tricky. You can hire expensive movers to do the deed for you, but that can result in harming the finish.

A reversing power drill is generally sufficient enough to help you deconstruct all of your pieces. You can quickly remove screws without scratching or chipping the finish, as well as save your wrist from some difficult twisting.

Planning on sprucing up your home with a bit of paint? There is nothing wrong with good old fashioned elbow grease, but these gears can give you the professional finish in much less time. First you'll want some power sanders to help you buff and smooth plaster used to repair wall damage.

If your intentions are to paint the outside of your home, the only way to go is with an airless sprayer. It produces a fine mist of paint that quickly and evenly coats your house in a fraction of the time.

An electric multi-tool (which often resembles a sort of futuristic Swiss army knife) is essential for the most basic and common household repairs. It's a dozen different power tools in one and usually comes with small sander, polishing, cutting, drilling, and engraving accessories.

It can reach small areas to help smooth out splinters, cut tangled cords, and polish up small surface scratches. It can help you fix your dishwasher or just open that extra tough blister case. Most people won't need a large arsenal of power tools at their disposal. Tool rental will save you money and time on home repairs.

Christmas Sales Black & Decker DS321 Dragster 7 Amp 3-Inch by 21-Inch Belt Sander with Cloth Dust Bag Overview

Go ahead and say it: It looks like a race car. That's what we said, too, and were ready to dismiss it as a gimmick. But then we tried it, and we stopped smirking. The smaller front roller changes everything you know about using a belt sander, making the belt's route more of a triangle than an oval. And because of that, you can get the grit to spaces you couldn't with a standard belt sander—for example, you can actually scoot right up to the baseboard when sanding a floor. There's more contact area with this design, and while that may be a moot point, we think it's still worth mentioning. We really like the three-position handle; it adjusts easily and lets you have the grip you need to be in control of an aggressive tool like this one. The dust collector works as well as any on a belt sander (meaning you're still going to have a mess to clean up). Belt changes are pretty straightforward and easy, thanks to the simple belt release lever. Because it's not a high-end tool, don't expect impeccable belt tracking here; still, the adjustment knob does a good job of tracking. This is one of those why-didn't-someone-think-of-this-sooner tools. Such a simple design change offers so much more utility in a well-priced staple of the workshop.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

3 Must Have Woodworking Power Tools - My Top 3

With all woodworking projects you will need to get your timber roughly to the right size first, then fine-tune it to the exact dimensions, and finally smooth it to the finish that you want. So you will start by sawing the wood, the plan it down and finally sand it to get the finished product.

Power Sander

Now it will come as no surprise to you that there is a power tool available to make each of these tasks faster and easier to complete. So here are the ones that would be my first choice, if I was limited to just three.

Power Sander

1. Band Saw

For sawing your lumber a band saw is a must. You can choose between a horizontal or vertical band saw. The vertical is my weapon of choice, but I know plenty of people that swear by the horizontal. Ultimately it is down to personal choice as they both will do the job. A bandsaw will probably be one of the most versatile tools in your workshop as it can be used for re-sawing, cutting veneers and with practise can be used to shape joints also for curved and angled cuts.

2. Power Planer

A power planer works in the same way as a hand plane, only a hundred times quicker. Instead of using a single blade, the power planer has multiple blades on a cylinder that spins at high speed and planes to the set depth. Once you have experienced one you will wonder why you ever used the same type of hand plane that your grandfather used and probably his grandfather before him too.

3. Orbital Sander

Having got the timber to the right size, you will want to smooth it down to its final finish. To do this you can use a sander, my personal favourite is a Palm Orbital Sander. As the name suggests, it is small and hand held and allows you to get into all those nooks and crannies that a larger orbital or belt sander would not reach.

Another power tool I would suggest would be a router, but would make 4 tools so I will stop there for now.

Can Astigmatism Be Corrected With Contact Lenses?

Several years ago those inflicted with astigmatism had to rely on eye glasses for their vision correction. Today that limitation is merely a memory of the past thanks to several advancements in contact lens technology. Since astigmatism is the result of an irregular shaped lens or cornea, a contact lens must designed to fit the atypical shape of the eye closely and comfortably in order to provide clear, crisp vision.

Power Sander

A contact lens that is designed to fit an irregular shape and correct astigmatism is called a toric lens. The unique curvature of eyes with astigmatism require that contacts meet the wearer's specific vision correction needs since a slight variation can result in an ill-fitting lens. The difference between a toric lens and a spherical one is that the toric has two different powers - one power corrects the astigmatism while the other corrects the nearsightedness or farsightedness. While toric lenses are very similar to spherical contacts the addition of the second power makes their design more complex.

Power Sander

Because of their complex design, new features, materials and other developments in contact lens technology are usually applied to torics after they have been applied to spherical lens for a given period of time. When disposable lenses were initially introduced to the market, those with astigmatism had to wait in line while the technology was applied to torics. The same thing happened when colored contacts first became popular amongst contact lens wearers.

Currently patients seeking to correct astigmatism have as a wide selection of contact lenses to choose from for their vision correction needs as those who wear spherical lenses. Toric lenses can be made from the same materials used to make spherical lenses that correct nearsightedness or farsightedness; they just have a different shape or curvature.

Contacts to correct astigmatism are available in soft, rigid gas permeable or silicone hydrogel lenses. Today toric lens wearers can choose between disposable or frequent replacement, colored or non-colored lenses and even bifocals or multifocals.

Stop the Streaks When You Use an Airbrush Tanning Solution

Any day, you are able to drive by your local tanning salon and see a line of men and women waiting for a bed to open. Early in the year, these lines are at their longest as individuals want to obtain a jumpstart on their tan before summer rolls around. In the end, who desires to look pasty white in their new cute dresses or sexy shorts? In the fall, the lines are huge again as folks try to hold on to their bronzed skin as long as possible. Beyond these factors, lots of people feel that having tan skin makes them look leaner, more healthy and sexier to people of the opposite sex. This normally goes for women, but many men also sign up for tanning bed sessions, too.

Power Sander

Very few will argue the truth that going to a tanning bed is relaxing. It is nice to pop a person's Music player into their ears and lie down for some minutes. Other people take the chance to take a power nap while tanning, and they feel rejuvenated after getting up and out of the booth. Although these are a few advantages about the tanning salon experience, there are several serious disadvantages that individuals neglect to think about in addition. To begin with, on the not-so-serious side of the equation is always that this activity dries the skin out. Obviously a highly effective moisturizer can replace the moisture to the skin, but extreme dryness is not good. On the worse end of things is the fact that tanning beds, just like natural sunlight, will cause the premature aging of a person's skin- and sometimes skin cancer.

Power Sander

Rather than turning to natural sunlight or artificial sun sources to get a tan, the newest method to get that sun kissed look is to apply airbrush tanning solution. In contrast to the run of the mill sunless tanning lotions and products that one can purchase at their local drug store, airbrush tanning solution is used by professionals. Although airbrush tanning solution applied by a professional means a higher cost, it also removes the chance for streaks and unevenness of color. Regular do it yourself lotions have been known to cause an unnatural looking orange glow to a person's skin. Additionally they have been reputed to cause amusing looking dark spots in the creases of a person's skin and in typically dry areas of the body, particularly on the hands, elbows and knees. Airbrush tanning solution is made to be thin and go on evenly, moisturizing the skin and getting rid of the dark spots.

The truly amazing news about airbrush tanning solution is that men and women who utilize this method of skin darkening do not experience any side effects. Regular customers of this product actually report that their skin is better moisturized afterward. An additional advantage of airbrush tanning solution is that people can choose the level of darkness which they wish.

At home tanners make one look less natural the darker one gets, but airbrush tanning solution is made to be flexible from a slight tan to a dark glow- without obtaining the orange tint at all. Risk-free, effective, and brilliant looking, airbrush tanning solution is the very best buy for one who desires that sexy summer glow throughout the year.

Milwaukee Power Tools

The phrase Milwaukee Power Tools is synonymous with high quality, durable, and reliable professional heavy-duty and portable electric power tools. Their name gains respect from professionals worldwide.

Power Sander

Founding of Milwaukee Power Tools
It all began with the close of the First World War and Henry Ford asking A. H. Pertersen, a young manufacturer, to produce a smaller and lighter, portable ¼" capacity power drill to make the manufacturing of his cars faster and more cost-efficient. Thus was the creation of the first of many innovative Milwaukee Power Tools, the "Hole Shooter".

Power Sander

A.F. Siebert joined Petersen to form the A.H. Petersen Company in 1922. A year later fire and recession closed the doors of that first company. Milwaukee Electric Tool Corporation was then founded in 1924 by A. F. Siebert buying the original A.H. Petersen Company at auction and marketing the "Hole Shooter". This was the first light-weight, portable, one-handed ¼" capacity drill ever manufactured.

Milwaukee Power Tools - Innovators with a Mission
Milwaukee Power Tools were created to fulfill a singular mission; to produce the best heavy-duty electric power tools available for professional use. They continued their mission in 1949 with their innovative and space-efficient Right-Angle Drill, in 1951 with the Sawzall, the registered name for a reciprocating saw that could take care of any job and is the tool most professionals carry today to get the dirtiest job done.

Milwaukee Power Tools - Creating Industry Standards
The next revolutionary innovation of Milwaukee Power Tools came in 1970 with the Hole-Hawg, the registered name for a high-torque drill. And the next in the line of Milwaukee Power Tools that have become industry standards for professional electronic power hand tools was the Super Sawzall, the registered name for the newly engineered reciprocating saw that carried 10 amps and 0-32-SPM, the only one of its kind.

Milwaukee Power Tools - Built with a Purpose
With their mission in mind and power tools in hand, Milwaukee Power Tools pays rigorous attention to the needs of the professional user by confirming user research. By setting industry standards and benchmarking all the innovative designs of Milwaukee Power Tools, they offer "best in class" and top product ranking by the industry. They also set demanding laboratory and in-field user testing to assure the best product to job match.

At Milwaukee Power Tools the engineers don't just design a tool . . . they design a tool to do the job better.

Home Wind Power Kits - How to Find the Best One

If you are reading this article, you most likely have an interest in home wind power kits. Wind power is becoming extremely popular due to the fact that it saves a ton of money, is easy to obtain, and it is not harmful to the environment.

Power Sander

In this article, I want to tell you about a few things you should look for when looking through home wind power kits.

Power Sander

The first thing that you should look for is a reasonable price. I believe that around is perfect. Don't pay hundreds of dollars for a home windmill plan when you can get a product that is just as good for much less.

The next thing you want to look for is some sort of quote about what the cost of building your windmill will be. The amount that is the most realistic that I believe is most accurate is a price around 0 or less. This price will include everything including all supplies.

Also, another thing that is good in home wind power kits is added bonuses. Look for bonuses such as a section on how to build homemade solar power, and also a section on how to save on oil.

Home wind power kits are something that need to be reviewed carefully before you purchase. Make sure that others have used the kit and seen good results. Good testimonials are a great sign that the program works.

I have dedicated many, many hours researching home wind power products and have created a website to review them. My website is linked to below. I review the top 3 home energy kits.

To follow these safety tips are essential to ensure your safety as P.E can harm you in one or another.

Power Sander

Importance of Safety

Power Sander

It is estimated by CPSC that about 10 percent of electrocutions occur due to improper usage of P.E at home. But this can be avoided easily by having an appropriate knowledge about the usage and precautions of P.E. Safety is prior to all things.

Protective Clothing

To ensure safety, it is important to use protective or safety clothing. Always use goggles to protect your eyes. But it largely depends on power equipment you are operating. You may have to use full face goggle in some cases.

Always use gloves and wear closed toe shoes if possible. This will protect you from any unwanted situation or injury.

Is is usually have some sort of motor working in them and those are very capable to catch any loose clothing. So make sure that you have tucked in shirts or you have worn dress which doesn't have any loose endings.

Operator's Manual

Operator's manual plays a very important role in your safety. Mostly people do not read the manual properly and do not follow the instructions given in it, eventually sustain serious injuries. It is important to read the manual thoroughly and follow the instructions firmly.

Clear the Debris

Another way to ensure safety is to clear all the loose and junky stuff from the cleaning area. Power equipment has the tendency to pull the stuff and throw it at you with force. This will sometimes cause serious damages and injuries to you.

Inspect Equipment

Before working on any power equipment it is necessary to examine it carefully. Examine all the cords, blades or other parts to make sure that everything is in proper working condition. Using this with damage parts can be dangerous.

Power Cords and Blade Changing

To ensure safety always use the recommended electrical sources for your power equipment. You can take help from operator's manual to get the right information about your power equipment. Try not to cross over power cords while working with power equipment. Never plug in or unplug the cords from the outlets while P.E is on.

If you want to change the blades make sure that the equipment is off and unplugged. Be very careful while changing the blades as blades usually have sharp edges.

Hold the Equipment Securely

While operating it hold it tightly with both the hands. Take special care while operating trimmers, cutters and mowers and try to walk behind these equipments. To avoid any damage or injuries, do not let the equipment operate without any supervision.
