Article: Carefully position the tub in the alcove so that the drain rests over the drain opening in the floor. Place a level on each side of the tub. If any spots are uneven, position hardwood shims underneath the tub and glue them in place. Some manufacturers may advise you to spread mortar on the floor and set your tub on the mortar to secure it in place. There will be a small flange, or vertical lip, around the outside of the tub. Follow the manufacturer’s directions to secure the flange to the studs in the wall. In most cases, you can use a hammer to drive roofing nails through the flange to secure it to each stud in the wall. The surround is made up of the panels that protect the wall around your tub from moisture and mildew. First, dry-fit the surround and mark the location of the accessories, including the faucet and water handles. Ensure that the faucet will line up with the water lines in the wall. Then, cut out the accessory openings with a jigsaw.  Make sure you measure the location for accessories multiple times before cutting into the surround! A one-piece surround is the easiest type to install. Place a bead of silicone caulk around the entire perimeter of the tub on the ledge next to the flange. Then, carefully set the surround on top of the silicone caulk. Next, use a drill to screw the surround into each wall stud. Aim to use a screw every 6 inches (15 cm) up the length of the surround. Be sure to choose silicone caulk meant for use in bathrooms. Screw the faucet into the coupling for the water lines through the hole in the surround. Then, screw the strainer cover over the drain opening in the floor of the tub. Add any other accessories you need, such as handles if they are separate from your faucet. Thread the drain chute into the P-trap under the tub. You may need to use PVC pipe to connect the drain chute to the P-trap if they don’t align perfectly. If that’s the case, dry-fit the pieces first and secure the PVC pipe to the chute and P-trap with ABS cement to prevent it from coming loose. Run a bead of silicone caulk along the outside edge of the tub where it meets the floor. Make sure it meets both outside corners to prevent water from getting in between the tub and floor. Smooth out the bead with your finger or a damp rag. To give the caulk and other adhesives time to dry, wait at least a full day. Then, you can turn on the water and check for leaks. If you find any problems, contact a certified plumber.

Article: These products can protect you when you go outside. You can spray on the insecticide or use products that make the area around them undesirable to the insects, such as candles. The best product for combating no-see-ums is DEET, but other products, such as citronella, can help.  Make sure that you follow all of the instructions when using these products. Insecticides can be dangerous when used incorrectly. Use insecticides only when you are going outside. Reapply them as directed on the product label. Keep the insects off your skin so that they can’t bite you. Cover your exposed skin with long sleeves, pants, socks, shoes, and a hat. You may even want to wear a hat with a fine mesh netting attached so that the bugs can't bite your face! Lighter-colored clothing will deter bugs better than darker clothes. These pesky insects will come into your home and bite you. No-see-ums are small enough to fly through a window screen, so the window must be fully closed to keep them out. Their most active time is the morning and evening, so it’s especially important to keep windows and doors shut during this time. Install mesh door and window screens to help keep the bugs out. Turning on a fan makes it harder for the insects to fly in the area. Any kind of fan will help, but an oscillating fan will protect the largest area. Use your fan safely! Don’t place it near a pool or other body of water, as it could fall in and create a shock hazard. Make sure that all extension cords are plugged in safely and do not pose trip hazards. No-see-ums lay their eggs in moist soil, which you’ll often find around ponds, rivers, and other waterways. Their most active season is mid- to late- summer, so you’ll encounter more of them around this time.  When camping during summer, choose a site that isn’t near a waterway. Since coastal areas can be a prime habitat, consult local maps before visiting or purchasing property in coastal areas.

Use an insecticide like DEET to kill the flies. Wear protective clothing. Keep your windows and doors closed in mid- to late-summer. Discourage the insects with a fan. Avoid moist soil, such as around waterways, during peak season.
Article: Place the ab rocker on the floor with the headrest behind you. Lie down on your back inside the rocker so that your head is resting on the headrest and the upper roll bar is positioned above your chest. Make sure your head, neck, and back are straight, and that your back is resting flat on the floor. Once you're in position, bend your knees and put your feet together, with the soles flat on the floor. Raise your arms and lightly grip the upper roll bar above your chest. If you're a beginner, place your hands next to each other on the roll bar, directly above the middle of your chest. For more difficult crunches, place your hands shoulder-width apart. Slowly exhale through your mouth as you use the ab rocker to help you rock forward, lifting your head and upper body off the floor toward your knees. Make sure your abs are tight as you perform this action.  Take care not to push too hard with your hands as you perform the crunch. You still want your abs to be doing most of the work. Use slow, controlled movements and make sure your head does not slip off the headrest. Once you've performed the crunch, hold it for 1-2 seconds before returning to your starting position. Inhale as you slowly lower yourself back down to the floor. When you're starting out, you may wish to do 3 sets of 7-8 crunches. You can gradually increase your number of reps as you get better at doing crunches.
