INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Unplug your machine and allow it to cool down completely. Check the output nozzle (where the fog steam comes out of) for any deposits or debris. If you see something, use your fingernail or another firm object to scrape the opening of the nozzle. Additionally, you can try using a pin (or small needle) to clean out any remaining dirt.  Move it in and out of the nozzle hold a few times to remove excess build up. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the exterior of the fog machine. Be sure to get in all the nooks and crannies of the machine to clean off any dust or residue that may have built up over time. Performing this kind of regular maintenance should prevent the machine from needing aggressive cleaning as often. It will also help prolong the life of your fog machine. Once you have finished cleaning the fog machine, you can put some more fogger fluid in it to make sure it is working properly again. Let the machine run and produce fog for at least several minutes before you decide that it’s working the way you want it to. Never store (or stop using) a freshly cleaned fog machine without first running another batch of fogging liquid to make sure it works. There are quite a few products available online for purchase that are intended for use in cleaning fog machines. Simply purchase the cleaning fluid and run it through your fog machine. Make sure to do the procedure outdoors so you don’t stink up the place with a chemically smell. Remember to always clean your fog machine before you store it.

SUMMARY: Scrape out the nozzle. Wipe down the exterior. Test the fogger fluid. Purchase fog machine cleaner.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Use either a shovel or an excavator to make a hole in the spot where you want your tank. Keep digging until the hole is 4 feet (1.2 m) wide, 26 feet (7.9 m) long, and 3 feet (0.91 m) deep. You can usually rent excavators for digging from a heavy machinery supply store. Check for equipment rentals online. Make sure the drum is level when you set it down. Check that the top of the drum is at least 4 inches (10 cm) below the surface. Make your hole the same diameter as the drum you’re placing in it so it has a tight fit and doesn’t move around. Dry-fit the 90-degree bend between the 2 drums to see if the holes line up well. Dig the hole slightly deeper if you need to make the pipe line up better. Cut the ABS pipe pieces, or nipples, with a hacksaw. Fit the pieces into the bend and use PVC glue to secure them in place. Fit the end of the 2 1⁄2 in (6.4 cm) nipple into the side hole on the first drum. Make sure the nipple on the other end lines up with the hole on top of the second drum. Use PVC glue to secure the bend in place. Don’t worry about the connection to the first drum yet since you’ll connect it later. Use your PVC glue to secure a nipple to the end of the Y-bend. Align the angled pipe on the Y-bend so it meets the incoming waste line, and glue it into the toilet flange. Point the ends of the 45-degree bends so they’re perpendicular to the bottom of the trench.

SUMMARY: Dig a trench that’s 4 × 26 × 3 ft (1.22 × 7.92 × 0.91 m). Place the drum with 1 side hole at the end of the trench. Dig a hole 1 ft (30 cm) deeper for the placement of the second drum in front of the first. Level the hole with gravel until the 90-degree bend fits from the hole in the side of the top drum to the toilet flange of the lower drum. Cut 3 1⁄2 and 2 1⁄2 in (8.9 and 6.4 cm) pieces of 4 in (10 cm) ABS pipe and glue them onto the bend. Test the fit for alignment between the two drums. Glue the end of the 3 1⁄2 in (8.9 cm) nipple into the toilet flange on the second tank. Glue a Y-bend to a 3 1⁄2 in (8.9 cm) nipple and add a 45-degree bend to the angled portion of it. Cut and glue 2 1⁄2 in (6.4 cm) nipples to one end of the 45-degree bends at and insert them in the side of the lower drum.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Start by cutting the tomato into quarters. Start from the top, slicing down towards the bottom. You'll end up with two haves. Slice each half into two pieces. Now you have quarters of the tomato that you can easily remove the seeds from. The seeds are held on to the top of the tomato by a bit of flesh. You can slice through it, going down towards the bottom. It only takes a little cut to get through it, but be careful of your fingers when cutting it. Use a tiny knife or spoon for this purpose. Now that the flesh is cut, you can simply remove the seeds. Run a knife under them, or use a spoon to scoop them out. You can place them in a strainer over a bowl, so that you can retain the juices for another part of the recipe.

SUMMARY: Cut the tomato up. Cut the bit of flesh at the top of each tomato. Slice or scoop the seeds away.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: In the event of blisters, your best option is allow them to heal on their own. Trying to cure blisters via removal can cause scarring and, in rare cases, infection.  Keep the blister clean and protected throughout the day. Gently wash the blister in the morning with a mild, antibacterial soap. Then apply a band-aid to the blistered area.  Blisters need to breathe to heel, so when possible take your shoes and socks off and remove any bandages. You may have to wait until you're home from work or school to do so. Toe nails sometimes get stained with dirt and debris. It's fairly easy to remove a toenail stain using household items.  Toothpaste, whitening strips, and hydrogen peroxide are all effective means of un-staining toenails. Hydrogen peroxide is the best option. Stain a q-tip or cotton ball with hydrogen peroxide and gently dab on the stained area. Wait 3 to 5 minutes before washing the peroxide off.  If you do not have hydrogen peroxide, you can try the same process using whitening strips or toothpaste. Keep in mind this may be less effective.

SUMMARY:
Allow blisters to heal. Remove stains from toenails.
