Problem: Article: When building a coop, elevation can help protect your chicken from potential predators. This can prevent rodents from nesting near your chicken coop, as they will be more exposed. Ideally, have your coop elevated about a foot off the ground. Unless you're very familiar with building yourself, it's best to have professionals build your chicken coop. If your coop is already in place, it may be hard to elevate it. However, you can actually insert fences under the ground. This can help protect your chickens from animals that burrow, such as rats. You should bury about six inches of fencing wire under the ground to protect your chickens. Make sure the electric current is not too strong. You do not want your chickens to be harmed by an electric fence. Look for electric wiring that aims to stun predators rather than kill them. If you're not familiar with building fences or working with electronics, have the fence installed professionally. You do not want to end up electrocuting yourself while building the fence. Chickens are also vulnerable to attacks from flying animals such as hawks. A wire mesh roof should be installed over the coop and run. This can prevent hawks from sweeping in and picking up chickens. Your chicken's coop and run should be surrounded by a fence. A fence should not just serve to keep your chickens inside. It should also protect them from predators. A mesh fence is the ideal material to keep things like foxes and raccoons out of  your chicken coop. Your fence should be at least five feet high to protect your chickens.
Summary: Build your coop off the ground. Bury fences underground to keep vermin out. Try an electric fence. Use a roof to protect your chickens from flying predators. Opt for a tall mesh fence.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This is a do-it-yourself method of waxing made with natural ingredients. It is much cheaper than going to a salon to have the waxing done professionally.  Lemon juice (2 tablespoons) Raw sugar (1 cup) Water (2 tablespoons) Non-GMO cornstarch or arrowroot powder Once you have all of your ingredients, you need to gather the materials that will help you to make it. You will also need materials to help you do your own waxing.  Medium-sized cooking pot Stainless steel bowl 6” x 12” strips of cloth Stir the ingredients together, and then slowly bring the mixture to a boil. Next, reduce the heat and simmer the mixture until it turns a golden color and becomes smooth. When the wax is in the stainless steel bowl, allow it to cool for several minutes. The color may become darker as it cools. While the wax cools, you need to prepare the body part(s) you want to wax. Wash and exfoliate the area, which helps to remove dead skin cells prior to the waxing. Dry your body when you are done.  Areas of the body you can wax yourself include legs and arms. Waxing the bikini area, underarms, and facial areas are not recommended as the skin is more sensitive. See a professional if you would like these areas waxed.  A family member or friend could do back or chest waxing at home for you, if that is something you would like done. You do not need a lot of powder; just sprinkle a thin layer over the area. This helps with the wax removal. Knead the wax until it is smooth, and then spread it on your body part. As you spread it on, always move in the direction of your hair growth. You should not apply it against the hair growth. Lay the cloth strip over the waxed area and press it down. You will need to wait a few moments for the wax to cool to your body temperature before removing it. When the wax has cooled to your temperature, very quickly grip it and pull it up against your hair growth. You need to do this fast, as doing it slowly will actually be more painful and likely not remove all of the hair. Continue to work until you have waxed the entire area. When you are done waxing, gently rinse off any of the wax that might be still stuck to your body. Then, moisturize the area. Jojoba and grapeseed oils are recommended options for moisturizing and reducing redness. You do not want to wax again immediately, because your skin will become too irritated. If you missed any big areas, then wait a few days before repeating this method.

SUMMARY: Buy or gather the ingredients needed for the sugar wax. Collect the materials you need to help you make the wax and do the waxing. Add the lemon juice, sugar, and water to the cooking pot on the stovetop. Remove the mixture to the stainless steel bowl. Wash the area you want to wax and prepare it for waxing. Sprinkle cornstarch or arrowroot powder over the area to be waxed. Collect sugar wax in your hand, about as much as the equivalent size of a ping pong ball. Press a cloth strip onto the wax. Pull the cloth strip off against the hair growth. Repeat applying the sugar wax, letting it cool, and removing the wax all around the body part. Rinse off remaining sugar wax and moisturize. Wax again in a few days if you missed any areas.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Before adding any new sand to the tank, you’ll need to reattach the drain plug. Screw it back in place at the base of the tank, making sure to tighten it in order to prevent leaks. Position one corner of a bag of pool-grade silica filter sand over the mouth of the tank. Make a small cut in the corner of the bag to allow sand to slowly fall into the tank. Work slowly and carefully to prevent any sand from spilling. Repeat until you have added the amount of sand needed for your filter.  If you are worried about damaging the components on the inside of the tank, add a little bit of water to the bottom of the tank before pouring in the new sand. This will cushion the sand as it is added but may misalign the standpipe.  As you add sand, make sure the standpipe in the center of the tank stays right in the middle and at the right height. It will need to reattach to the base of the multiport valve when you are finished, so you can line the two up to check if you’re unsure.  The amount of sand needed will vary between pool filters. Check for stickers along the side of the tank or in your tank’s manual to find out how much your tank needs to operate. Use a garden hose to add water to the tank until it just begins to cover the sand. This will give the tank enough water to clean the sand and get the pump functional before you start filtering your pool water. Locate the rubber “O-ring” around the top of the multiport valve where it will form a seal with the mouth of the tank. Apply a small amount of lube to your finger and rub it around the O-ring. This will make reattaching the valve to the tank easier, as well as conditioning the rubber seal. If the O-ring is damaged, you might need to replace it rather than just lubricating it. These should be available from hardware and pool supply stores in the size you need. Remove the tape or plug from the top of the standpipe and position the multiport valve over it. Carefully connect the opening in the valve to the top of the pipe, and firmly push the valve into the top of the tank. Wiggle it around slightly as you push it into place to make sure it is secure. Position the collar around the edge of the multiport valve and use the two bolts to tighten it into place. As you do so, alternate between bolts to ensure the pressure is equally distributed around the collar. Reattach the pipes and screw the unions on as tightly as you can to prevent leaks.
Summary:
Reattach the drain plug to the base of the tank. Pour new pool silica sand into the tank. Fill the tank with water up to the level of the sand. Lubricate the O-ring on the valve with a multipurpose lubricant. Reattach the multiport valve. Screw the collar and pipes back in place.
