Movies are long, so you’ll want to make sure that your guests have a comfortable place to sit throughout. Folding camping chairs or bean-bags work great for this.Image:Create an Outdoor Movie Theater Step 22.jpg  If you don’t have any chairs on hand, you can lay blankets and pillows on the ground. If it’s going to get chilly later in the evening, remind your guests to bring along sweaters. Adding snacks to your backyard movie night will only enhance it! Popcorn and candy are easy go-tos, but healthier snacks are always a smart idea as well.  Some healthy snack suggestions are celery sticks, pretzels, fruit salad, carrot sticks, or crackers and cheese. Purchasing some paper popcorn bags can make it feel just like you’re at the movie theater! If you live in an area where mosquitos and other pests tend to congregate, you can keep them away by placing citronella candles around your theater. Just make sure that none of them are close to any flammable objects. Alternatively, you can use traditional bug sprays or creams. Bug sprays often have an ingredient called DEET in them. It’s a powerful insect repellent, but it can irritate your skin, so avoid spraying it directly on your skin if possible. If you live in a suburban area, you might want to ask for your neighbors’ permission or let them know that you will be doing a backyard movie night beforehand. Or (even better) invite them to join the party! This will give them a heads-up about what you’re doing, and also make them feel welcome in your home. Some areas have noise restrictions imposed by the local government, so be mindful of these.

Summary: Place cushions, blankets, and comfortable chairs around your screen. Have snacks and refreshments available. Ward off bugs with citronella candles and bug spray. Do your best to not disturb your neighbors with noise.

On inkjet printers, the printer rollers are typically located on the underneath side. You can usually find them if you remove the paper tray and look right above where the paper tray used to be. The rollers should rotate manually when you apply pressure to them. If not, you will need to use the “feed paper” option on your printer to rotate them. Either way, you shouldn’t need to remove them entirely for the cleaning process. Pour some distilled water into a cup and dip your lint-free cloth into it. You want the cloth to be damp, but not soaking wet. Wipe the damp cloth across the surface of the rollers to remove any dirt or grime that has built up over time. Be sure to fully rotate the rollers so that you can clean each part of the surface area. Make sure you dry off the rollers completely before using your printer again. In order to help the rubber printer rollers regain some of their original slickness and glide, you should use a rubber rejuvenating product. Simply moisten the end of a Q-tip or foam swab with the product and rub it lightly over the surface of the printer rollers. You should be able to purchase a rubber rejuvenating product at any computer or office supply or store.

Summary: Locate the printer rollers. Clean rollers with a lint-free cloth and water. Use a rubber rejuvenating product.
