Problem: Article: Use a ruler to measure the height of your cat’s stomach from the ground. Mark this measurement on the door with a horizontal line using a pencil. Use a spirit level to make sure that the horizontal line is straight.  The measurement for most cats is approximately 4.7 in (12 cm). If you have multiple cats, use the shortest belly height as taller cats are able to crouch.  Having the cat flap installed at the right height means that your cat will be able to easily get in and out. Use a measuring tape to measure how wide the door is. Divide this measurement by 2 to find where the center point is. Mark this point along the horizontal line that you drew using an “X” symbol.  Measure twice to find the center so that you can be confident that the measurement is accurate. This marking is where the center of the cat flap will be. Follow the instructions that came with the cat flap to fit the template. Line the template up along the horizontal line so that the cat flap will be the correct height. Make sure that you secure the template so that the middle is at the center of the door.  Use the spirit level again to ensure that the template is sitting straight. If your cat flap kit doesn't include a template, photocopy the cat flap to create your own template. The cat flap template will indicate where you need to drill the holes. Make sure that the holes are slightly larger than the jigsaw blade width. A 3/8 in (10 mm) flat bit is an ideal size to use for drilling the corner holes. For square or rectangular cat flaps, you will need to drill 4 holes. However, for circular cat flaps, drilling only 1 hole at the top of the template is usually all that’s necessary. Peel the masking tape off to remove the template. Use a pencil and a ruler to create a square or rectangle that joins the holes together. This will serve as a guide for the opening that you are about to cut. Place the blade of the jigsaw into a corner hole. Drill from 1 hole to the next to cut out the shape from the door. Follow the line as closely as possible and guide the blade around the shape. Don’t push the jigsaw to make it go faster. Let it work at its own speed as this will result in the best and most accurate cut. Rub along the edges of the cut out using sandpaper to tidy up the shape. Be careful not to sand too much to prevent the size from changing. Hold the cat flap up against the cutout on the door. Push the cat flap open and let it close on its own to make sure that it works properly and doesn’t catch on the door. If the cat flap catches on anything, take note of which part of the cut out isn’t right and use a rasp or a file to adjust the size.
Summary: Mark the height of your cat’s stomach on your door. Find the center of the width of your door. Stick the cat flap template to your door using masking tape. Drill 1 hole in each corner of the template. Remove the template and draw a line to connect the holes. Cut out the cat flap shape using a jigsaw. Smooth the edges of the hole using a piece of fine-grit sandpaper. Check that the cat flap opens properly.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You can't address dents in the carpet if the furniture is still there. Move the furniture to expose the dent and either rearrange the room to find a new home for the piece or take it out of the room while you work.  When the carpet is exposed, check the label to determine what kind of material it is. Synthetic fibers can be fixed using the cold ice cube method. Common synthetic carpet fibers include nylon, olefin, and polyester. This is important if you're removing dents from a rug or area carpet where there's a wood or other finished flor underneath. To protect the floor, place a towel, rag, or other absorbent material under the carpet where the dent is that you'll be treating. Use as many ice cubes as you need to fill the dent completely. As the ice cubes melt, the compressed carpet fibers will slowly absorb the water. The more water the fibers absorb, the fuller and more swollen they’ll become, and this will reduce the indentation. If you're removing multiple dents from the carpet, try out the method first on a dent that’s in an inconspicuous area to test the carpet for colorfastness. Let the ice cubes melt and leave the carpet to absorb the water from the ice overnight, or for at least four hours. This will give the fibers plenty of time to swell and start regaining their original shape and plumpness. When the carpet has had several hours to absorb the water, use a clean towel to blot the wet area and absorb any excess. The carpet doesn’t have to be completely dry, but it shouldn’t be any wetter than slightly damp. Switch to a dry area of the towel as necessary to keep absorbing more water. When you’ve absorbed as much water as you can, remove the towel that’s protecting the floor underneath. Now that the fibers have regained their original plumpness, you can fluff them back into shape to remove all traces of the dent. Use your finger, a small coin, or a spoon to brush and fluff the carpet fibers in multiple directions so they stand up tall and straight like the rest of the fibers. You can also use a carpet brush or carpet rake to fluff the fibers and remove the dent.

SUMMARY: Remove the furniture. Protect the floor underneath. Fill the dent with ice cubes. Leave the dent overnight. Blot the area dry. Fluff the fibers.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Protect your surfaces from the paint or it may stain them. Make sure to cover a large area. You will be splattering the paint onto your jeans and it is likely to splatter all around your jeans as well. Lay out your tarp or newspapers to cover the area you will be working on.

Keep splattering your jeans with paint until you are satisfied with the design. You can change colors after you splatter an entire side of your jeans, or after splattering part of one side. Make sure to put on a clean disposable glove before dipping your fingers into a new color of paint. When you are happy with the paint design on one side of your jeans, leave the jeans to dry for one hour or more. If you turn the jeans while the paint is still wet, the paint may smudge. When you are confident that the paint is dry, turn the jeans over. Then, repeat the painting process. The paint on your jeans will need to dry completely before you can wear them. Leave them to dry overnight and then set the paint by tossing your jeans into the dryer or by using a blow dryer on them. After setting the paint, you can wear, wash, and dry your jeans as usual. Enjoy your new pair of splatter painted jeans, and all of the admiring looks and compliments you get while you are wearing them!
Summary:
Cover your work area. Put on your gloves. Fill your containers with paint. Dip your gloved fingers into the paint and splatter your jeans. Change colors as desired. Wait for the paint to dry before flipping your jeans over. Let the paint dry completely before wearing the jeans.
