The leaves of pineapples can be pretty sharp. Similarly, the rind of the pineapple can also be rough on hands. Try wearing a pair of gardening gloves to provide protection. Hold on to the top of the pineapple with your non-dominant hand. You can grab the actual fruit or grasp the top of the pineapple between the leaves. You want to keep the pineapple still while you cut it off. One way to cut the pineapple off is to simply grab a pair of gardening shears. Cut the pineapple stem just below the pineapple, and catch the fruit as it comes off the plant.  Make sure to leave some stem behind so that the plant can regrow. If you need to, you can use both hands to operate the shears. Just try to catch the pineapple before it falls, as you don't want to bruise it. A sharp knife will work about as well as gardening shears. Saw into the stem just below the pineapple until the pineapple comes free. Be careful not to damage other leaves as you are cutting off the pineapple.

Start with the official annual salary of the employee. Don't worry about taxes for now; they are deducted at the end of this section. This is the amount of money the employee earns in one week. Use the annual salary before taxes and other deductions.  For an employee that works the entire year, there are 52 work weeks. For example, an employee that makes $30,000 a year earns 30,000 ÷ 52 = $576.92 per week. This is the daily salary, or amount of money earned by the employee each workday. Continuing our example, the employee with a weekly salary of 576.92 works 5 days a week. Her daily salary is 576.92 ÷ 5 = $115.38 per day. Count the number of days the employee worked during the pay period you are prorating. Multiply this by the daily salary you calculated above. If our example employee worked 3 days during the prorated period, she should receive 115.38 x 3 = $346.14. Don't forget that prorated salary payments count as normal, taxable wages. This means that you'll need to deduct a percentage of the earnings for income and payroll taxes, just as you would an ordinary paycheck. If the employee has a retirement account (401k, etc.) or another special deduction set up, include this deduction as well. If you are in the United States, see our article on withholding federal tax for more information. Additional state taxes may also apply. If the employee is leaving the company with accrued vacation days or sick days, the employer is usually required by law to pay the employee for this time. Use the same method to calculate how much to pay per day:   If the same employee from above has accumulated 6 days of vacation time, she should be paid an additional 115.38 (her daily wage) for each day, or a total of 115.38 x 6 = $692.28. Deduct taxes from this amount as well.

You will want to fix your safe between studs to allow it to be recessed inside your wall and thus less noticeable. Use a stud finder to locate the studs behind the wall by running the stud finder across your wall. The tool will have an indicator to show when it has found a stud.  Stud finders can be purchased from your local hardware store. If you don’t have a stud finder you can knock on the wall and listen for a hollow or solid sound. If the sound is hollow then the location is probably between studs; if it sounds solid then there is likely a stud in this location. Knock a nail into the wall. As you hammer you will be able to feel if you hit a stud by the way the nail goes into the wall. These holes will be covered once you have installed your wall safe. Use a pencil to mark the locations of the studs on the wall. This will help orient your lines when you cut out the section of the wall. After you’ve found a good safe and a place to install it between studs, you are ready to cut into your wall. Cut out a small square of space big enough for your hand to fit through. If you find wires you need to be extra careful to go around them or reroute them. If you find plumbing in the way you may need to find a new location. If the wall is clear, you are ready to cut out a space for your safe. If something is in the way and you are not confident in your ability to safely move or go around it, the best option is to find a new section of wall. Mark the four corners of your square hole using a pencil. Use a level to make level lines between the four corners. It is essential that the top and bottom are parallel with the ground while the sides are parallel with your studs.  The hole should be close enough to a stud so that you can attach it to your safe later. Make sure to measure and level correctly so that you don’t end up with an uneven or wrongly sized hole. Use your drywall saw to cut along the marked lines. Start with the bottom edge of the opening and then cut the sides. You should cut the top line last to make sure the piece does not fall out beforehand, creating an uneven line. Put your safe into the hole, remembering to keep it help up with your hand. The door is the heaviest part of the safe due to the locking mechanism so be careful to hold up the corner so that it doesn’t fall out on you. Drill holes into the sides that match with the holes on the interior of your safe. Drill in each screw and then tighten them firmly. This is an important step that prevents burglars from simply cutting your safe out of the wall and walking away with the whole thing. Place the shelves inside the safe in their desired locations, making sure you line them up correctly. Some shelves will have cutouts to make space for the door locking mechanism and door hinges; make sure these cutouts are in the correct locations.
