Summarize the following:
Take measurements of the perimeter and area of your yard. Take measurements of the length and width, then multiply these numbers to find the land's total area. Work slowly to keep the land's measurements as accurate as possible. Grid paper can keep your drawing precise. Assign each grid a certain distance to help you visualize your backyard and plan an accurate layout. You might assign each grid, for example, a distance of 1 square foot (0.093 square meters). Using your yard measurements, map out an approximate layout of your yard. Mark your yard's water source, power source, main plants or garden areas, and areas where you will install the irrigation tubing.  The water source is generally the outdoor faucet, and the power source is the way you'll turn the system on and off. Use a pencil while designing the layout in case you need to make changes or correct mistakes.

summary: Measure your yard's perimeter and area. Purchase grid paper to map out your irrigation system. Draw an approximate layout of the irrigation system.

A spray from a garden hose may be enough to remove any clippings and debris, and a tool designed for scrubbing or scraping will address anything dried-on to the bottom of your mower. Remove the blades on the mower before attempting to clean the underside. Trying to maneuver around the blades during this step is very dangerous. A clean air filter burns gas efficiently. Replacing the filter with a new one before the mower goes into storage is good preparation for future yard work. Remove the filter, clean out the cooling fins carefully with a screwdriver or pipe cleaner, and put in a new one. Using a cloth, remove any plant material lingering on the surface, and clean off any messes made during the previous steps of preparation. Your mower should be as clean as possible before putting it in storage for an extended period. Keeping a breathable cover on your mower will help prevent cosmetic damages and encourage air circulation while in storage. In addition, putting a plastic or cardboard tarp under your mower protects the blades and will catch any fluid drips. For mower covers, one made of canvas is recommended: it's a durable material that won't stifle air underneath it. Condensation is more likely to form in colder weather, and it can cause serious damage to the tanks inside your mower. Wherever you've chosen to store your mower, make certain that the space is free of moisture, and that it will consistently maintain a cooler temperature.

summary: Clean your mower thoroughly. Change out the air filter. Wipe down your mower. Cover your lawn mower. Store your mower somewhere dry.

Place the balloon-covered end over your heart (or someone else's heart), and the other end against your ear. If you used a second funnel, make sure that the funnel is touching your head; if you left the tube as-is, gently stick the end into your ear, like an earbud. If the room is quiet enough, you should be able to hear the heart beating!  If you can't hear the heart, do some jumping jacks for about 1 minute, then try again. If you're listening to someone else's heart, have them do the jumping jacks. A quiet room is important. Because this is a handmade stethoscope, it's not very strong or loud. A noisy room will drown out the heartbeat.
summary: Use the stethoscope in a quiet room.
