This will tell you how much speaker wire will be required for the job. Longer distances require a thicker wire because of the increased risk of a power failure. For distances between 80 to 200 feet (24.4 to 61 m), you need a 14-gauge wire. Distances greater than 200 feet (61 m) require the thicker 12-gauge wire. 12-gauge wire may be used in any speaker setup, even if the distance between the amplifier and the speakers is not terribly great. Some audiophiles swear by the extra quality and durability you get for the price. It never hurts to grab a little extra. You never know when you might need to extend the wires.
++++++++++
One-sentence summary -- Use a tape measure or string to determine the distance from your amplifier to your speakers. Keep in mind that if your speakers and your amplifier are in the same room, 16-gauge wire is inexpensive and will be sufficient. Purchase the wire that you have determined is correct for your needs.


There are several different types of Connect Four boards, but all come with a grid that hold the checkers and some type of stand that holds the grid. The traditional set-up features two end supports with slots for hooks on each side of the grid to snap into. Once the end supports are attached, place the board on a flat surface, and close the sliding lever at the bottom of the grid so that there are bars to prevent the checkers from falling through.  When attaching the end supports to the the grid, make sure that the notched edge of the end support is facing the grid. Some versions of Connect Four, such as the Pop Out Connect Four and Connect Four On the Run travel game, feature a round game base with slots on each side for tabs on the bottom of the grid to snap into. When you’re ready to play, place the board between you and your opponent so you’re each on one side of it. Connect Four comes with 21 red checkers and 21 black checkers. Before you begin playing, separate the checkers into piles based on their color. Next, you must decide who will play each color. Whatever color you choose, take that pile of checkers. Your opponent takes the other pile. If you and your opponent both can’t agree on who should play which color, you may want to put a checker in each color in a hat, bag, or other container that you can’t see into. Then whatever color you or your opponent pulls out is the checker shade that you’ll play. During the course of play, you and your opponent will alternate turns after making a move with a checker. The player who goes first typically has an advantage in the game, so to be fair, you should take turns going first. If you can’t agree on who goes first, you may want to flip a coin to avoid an argument.

One-sentence summary -- Assemble the board. Sort and choose checker colors. Decide who will go first.


In most cases, the pipe should measure 4 in (10 cm) in diameter. Jot this measurement down for reference when you go to buy the new flange. If you’re able to take the old flange with you to the hardware store, this measurement is largely for backup purposes. However, if the old flange has broken into pieces, you’ll definitely need this measurement. Find a new flange that replicates the size and shape of the old one as closely as possible. This way, you’ll be sure of a solid fit.  If you can’t find a good match or need help in general, ask an employee at the store for help. If you don’t have the old flange, buy a new flange that matches the outflow pipe measurement you took. Some new flange kits come with a wax ring, while others require you to buy the ring separately. In any case, make sure you have a new wax ring to go with your new flange. Instead of wax, some newer rings are rubber gaskets instead. However, you can install a rubber gasket the same way you'd install a wax ring.

One-sentence summary -- Measure the interior diameter of the exposed outflow pipe. Take the old flange to the hardware store and buy a matching one. Purchase a new wax ring that fits your new flange.


You can use nail polish just like you would for a normal nail. There are countless designs you can create, and you don't need to bother with a base coat when you're using tape. Pick your favorite colors and start decorating.  Always wait for one color to dry before you add another color on top of it. A clear polish after everything is dry will make it look glossy. Since you already have tape, why not try a decoration method that uses it? You'll also need a small, plastic straw and a layer of newspaper to work over, since this method is messy. This works best with several colors of nail polish.  Surround the fingers around your nail with more tape to protect them from the polish. Be careful not to overlap the tape with your fake nail, or you could tear it off. Dip a thin straw in nail polish and blow through it while it's just above the nail. This will splatter the polish over the fake nail. Repeat with other colors. Since the tip of the straw has polish on it, you'll want to put the next color on a plastic plate or bit of newspaper, then dip the straw in that instead of directly in the nail polish bottle. When you're done, let it dry, then remove the tape protecting your fingers. If you don't have nail polish, you can decorate the tape with small stickers. You can try writing on it with a permanent marker, but it will most likely smudge unless you very carefully put a second layer of tape over the drawing.

Use nail polish if you have it. Try the splatter nail polish method. Decorate with other methods.
