INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Go through all of the baby clothes before packing them away, and dispose of any that are overly worn or stained. You should only store clothes that are well-preserved. Storing clothes that have not been thoroughly cleaned is almost guaranteeing disaster of one kind or another The dirty baby clothes, especially ones that have food on them, could attract a variety of bugs that might eat the material, nest in it, or leave droppings all over it.  Mice, rats, and other larger vermin might come to eat the bugs or the food on the clothes if they are stored in a garage, storage unit, or attic where people do not go often. Additionally, any type of dirt on the clothes can cause stains to develop over time. All baby clothes should be washed and dried according to the instructions on the tag of the clothes.  If there is no longer a tag, then it is probably safe to just wash and dry the article of clothing along with others that are made of the same type of material. Ironing clothes before storage is optional, because the clothes are likely to become wrinkled over time anyway (even if they are hung in a garment bag). There are also some vermin that might be attracted to the scent of sprayed starch if it is used on the baby clothes during ironing. Over time metal buttons can corrode and leave stains on clothing. Therefore you should remove them and store them in a separate box. Keep this box in a safe place, so you can re-attach the buttons in future. It's a good idea to sort the baby clothes into different categories so you can easily find what you're looking for in future. You can sort the baby clothes by size (0-6 months, 6-12 months, etc) or by season (summer clothes and winter clothes).

SUMMARY: Decide which clothes are fit for storage. Make sure to clean all clothes before storing. Wash the clothes according to the instructions on the tag. Decide whether or not you want to iron the clothes before storing. Remove any metal buttons from the clothes. Sort the baby clothes into separate bags/boxes.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: This will prevent any infection, especially if you have open wounds or cuts on your finger. Keeping your finger elevated will also help to keep your finger in position and let it heal properly. Use your non-injured hand for daily things like eating, bathing, and picking up objects. It's important you give your finger time to heal without any movement or disturbance of the splint.  Your follow-up appointment with a doctor or hand specialist should be one week after your initial treatment. At the follow-up appointment, the physician will check that the bone fragments are still aligned and healing properly.  For most fractures, your finger will take up to six weeks of rest before you can return to sporting activity or work. As soon as your doctor confirms your finger has healed and it is out of the splint, it's important to move it around. If you keep it splinted for too long, or immobile after it is out of the splint, the joint will stiffen and your finger will become harder to move and use. The physiotherapist can give you advice on how to regain normal movement in your finger. She may also give you gentle hand exercises you can do to keep your finger moving and to ensure it regains its mobility.
Summary: Keep the splint clean, dry, and elevated. Do not use your finger or hand until your follow-up appointment. Start moving your finger once it is out of the splint. See a physiotherapist if your injury is severe.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Before you can actually build the enclosure, you'll need to measure its components. It's important to be as precise as possible with your measurements since a gap in the enclosure could make it easy for your snake to escape.  Smaller snakes can be kept in a 10- or 20-gallon tank. This measures out to either 20 inches by 10 inches by 12 inches (51 by 25 by 30.5 centimeters), or up to 24 inches by 12 inches by 16 inches (61 by 30.5 by 40.5 centimeters)  Medium-to-large sized snakes typically need between 30- and 55-gallon tanks. This measures out to 36 inches by 12 inches by 16 inches (91.5 by 30.5 by 40.5 centimeters) or up to 48 inches by 13 inches by 20 inches (122 by 33 by 51 centimeters). The glass or plastic panel you use as a window for the front of the enclosure should measure a few tenths of an inch (less than a centimeter) shorter than the back wooden panel. This will allow a more precise fit in the grooves that you'll dig out. Over time, the wood in your enclosure may begin to rot. It will also get dirty and may be difficult to clean if you do not stain the wood first. Staining will help protect the wood to ensure a longer life for your enclosure. Once you've assessed the size needs of your snake and determined the final dimensions, you'll be ready to cut your wood. It can be helpful to mark the sizes in chalk or pencil before cutting so that you have precise measurements and straight lines to cut along.  Make sure you wear personal protective equipment (PPE) while working with wood. This includes safety glasses, gloves, earplugs, a respirator, and a padded kickback apron.  Cut each piece as a solid rectangle. You only need to cut the sides, back, top, and bottom. The front face will be a glass or plastic panel held in place by the top, bottom, and sides. Before you can complete the enclosure's assembly, you'll need to make room for the glass or plastic panel and insert it into place. This will be done using a router to gouge out the wood.  Dig the groove 0.5 inches (1.25 centimeters) from the face of what will be the outside wall of the enclosure. You'll need to cut grooves in the front face of the top and bottom pieces as well as down the sides. Slide the glass or plastic panel into each groove to ensure that it fits snugly in place. Use a power drill to bore holes in the sides, back, and bottom of the enclosure, then screw them into place. If your cage will open from the side, attach the back, bottom, top, and one side of the panel, leaving the opening side unattached.  Make sure the grooves for the glass or plastic panel line up evenly. Before you attach the top, slide the glass or plastic panel into place so that your enclosure is complete. If you are making a side-opening enclosure, wait before attaching your chosen side's panel. Make sure there are no gaps around the glass or plastic panel. Use an adhesive that's approved for use around pets to seal up any gaps where the panel fits into your wooden frame. You can find these products at your local hardware store or through an online retailer. If you're building an enclosure that opens from the top, then you'll be attaching the top panel with hinges. If your enclosure opens from the side, then your chosen side's panel will be the opening that you affix with hinges.  Measure where you will need to attach the hinges onto the opening panel (either the top or one side). Then measure where the hinges will attach to the back panel. Use a power drill to bore holes for the hinges, then screw the hinges into place. Attach hook-and-eye latches to each corner of the opening panel. It's typically a good idea to use multiple latches instead of just one since some snakes are strong enough to break through weak doors. Drill several small holes for ventilation in the opening panel (either the top or the side of your enclosure).

SUMMARY:
Measure your building materials. Apply lacquer to the wood. Cut the wood to size. Dig out a groove for the glass. Assemble the enclosure. Attach the opening panel.
