Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Determine where you want to construct a concrete patio, how large it will be, and its exact dimensions. Drive stakes into the corners of the patio area. Remove all weeds, grass, roots, and topsoil from the roped off area.

Answer: The size of the patio determines the amount of concrete required and whether you will need a mixer. If the patio is too large in area, it might not be an easy DIY job. The location is also important. You want to choose a mostly even area so you don't have to level the uneven ground before you lay the concrete.  Check local building codes to find out if a permit is required, how far the patio has to be from property and house lines, or any other county or city regulations. Before you dig anywhere in your yard, find out where septic tanks, underground lines, or other utilities are located. Tie string between the stakes and use a line level to determine the slope. The stakes and string will give you a good picture of how the patio will fit in your back yard. Adjust the area if needed.  Cutting the stakes to a pointed end may make them easier to drive into the ground.  If the ground is uneven, you have two choices: build up the low side or dig the high side out. This can be done with a hoe, a shovel, or other common gardening tools.

Answer: Mango, papaya, avocado, tomatoes, kiwi, and apricots are all fruits that provide you with a great dose of vitamin E. Cut up some fresh juicy tomatoes and a half or whole avocado to add to crackers, a salad, or to eat by themselves. Avocado is also wonderful for your skin, in addition to being a source of vitamin B, K, and C. Tomatoes will provide your body with vitamins E, A, C, as well as fiber and lycopene (which is thought to prevent cardiovascular disease and certain types of cancer).  You can eat mango and papaya sliced up in a bowl, or in a delicious smoothie, blended with ice, kale, and any other fruits you enjoy.  Dried apricots are also a great snack for on the go. Nuts and seeds are the perfect snack, as they are healthy, filling, and packed with vitamin E! Try packing one serving of sunflower seeds, almonds, hazelnuts, pine nuts, sunflower seeds, pecans, or pistachios before you head out the door.  Sunflower seeds specifically are known as one of the best sources of vitamin E.  For your overall health, remember that nuts and seeds that are salted, cooked in oil, or covered in chocolate will be less healthy than raw ones. Keep in mind that nuts are high in calories. Be mindful of your portion size. You should limit your nut intake to about 4 servings of unsalted nuts per week. A serving size is usually 1.5 ounces, or a small handful. To get more specific serving size information, check the back of your package of nuts. Both of these delicious spreads (as well as raw peanuts and almonds) are shown to be high in vitamin E. Try them on toast, in sandwiches, on apples, or just on a spoon! Many cereals are fortified with vitamin E. Check the back of your cereal box to see if vitamin E is listed. It may also be written as dl-alpha-tocopherol, which indicates synthetic vitamin E.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Locate the sink trap. Place a bucket underneath the sink trap. Unscrew the slip joint nuts. Remove the sink trap. Rinse the sink trap. Scrub the sink trap with a bottle brush. Reassemble the trap.

Answer: Look under your sink and locate a pipe with a J or P-like curve. This is your sink trap. The sink trap is located in between the tail pipe and the waste pipe. The tail pipe is the pipe that connects directly to your sink, and the waste pipe is the pipe that connects to the wall. You can use a regular gallon bucket, or any type of water collecting device like a dishpan. The bucket will be used to catch any water, dirt, and grime that comes out as you remove the sink trap. Begin by loosening the slip joint nuts on each end of the sink trap (on each end of the J or P). You can do this either manually, using your hands, or you can use a wrench. Once the joint nuts are loose, continue to untighten them with your hands. If your sink trap has a decorative or metal finish, then use a strap wrench to loosen the slip joints to prevent scratching. You can also place duct tape on the parts of the wrench that come into contact with your pipes to prevent scratching. As you remove the sink trap, make sure to locate the O-rings. There should be two; one on each side of the J. Place them somewhere safe. The O-rings are used to seal the connection between the sink trap and the tail and waste pipes.  Take a picture of the trap before you remove it to help you reassemble the sink trap correctly. Clog the waste pipe with a cloth or rag to prevent sewer gases from entering your home. Take the sink trap to a separate sink or outside to rinse. Rinse the trap thoroughly until all the loose dirt and grime are removed. You can also use a dishwashing detergent to remove any dirt and grime as you scrub the sink trap. Scrub the sink trap until all the dirt and grime are removed. At this point, you can use the bottle brush to scrub and remove any dirt and grime from the end of the tail pipe as well. Place the slip joint nuts onto the tail and waste pipes first. Slip the O-rings back onto the tail and waste pipes. Then place the sink trap between the tail and waste pipes. Use your hands to tighten the slip joint nuts over the ends of the sink trap.  Use your wrench to finish tightening the slip joint nuts. Only tighten the slip joints nuts a quarter turn more. Try not to tighten them too tight. This can cause your pipes to crack and break, especially plastic ones. If there’s rust on the P trap, replace it before it has a chance to leak.
