Q: The pattern you're laying your flooring in will affect how much you need. Measure the square footage of your floor (1 square meter is about 10.5 square feet). Then add 5-7% more square footage to account for waste if you're laying your boards straight. Add 15% waste if you're laying the floors in a herringbone pattern. There are plenty of places you can order your flooring from, such as home improvement stores, flooring wholesalers, and construction contractors can all order flooring for you. It's probably best to look at the flooring online or in-store before you decide on which flooring you want for sure. If you've chosen free-floating, or laminate, flooring, test fit 2 pieces by clicking them together. If it comes apart easily or doesn't join securely, avoid it and purchase a different variety to avoid problems down the line. Open your boxes of engineered hardwood in the room where you'll be installing it. Make sure the pieces are flat, not leaning against something, which could warm them. Allow the flooring to sit for 3 to 4 days in that room so it can acclimate to the temperature and moisture and expand or contract as necessary. If you've recently installed new drywall or plaster, wait at least a week before opening your boxes of hardwood. The moisture present in most basements and garages is bad for engineered hardwoods. It can warp the wood and permanently damage it.
A: Measure the square footage of your floor. Order your floors. Let the flooring acclimate for 3 to 4 days. Avoid storing the hardwood in the basement or garage.

Article: Back your tow vehicle up to the trailer hitch using your rear view mirrors and some friends to guide you. Once the ball of the hitch is below the tongue of the trailer, rotate the handle on the trailer's tongue to lower it down onto the ball. Once the hitch it attached, cross the safety chains and hang their hooks on the spots for them on either side of the hitch. Connect the electrical plug from the trailer to its port or plug on the tow vehicle. If the towed vehicle is running, it's easier to pull it up behind the trailer, but if it's not, back the trailer up to the front of the vehicle you plan to tow so that it can drive or be pushed straight forward onto it. Ensure the trailer and both vehicles are on a flat, even surface. Extend the ramps down on the trailer and then either drive or push the towed vehicle up onto the trailer with someone in the driver's seat to steer and brake. Once the vehicle's rear wheels are on the trailer, tell the driver to stop the vehicle and engage the parking brake. Make sure all four wheels are all the way onto the trailer and that the ramps can slide back in or be folded up without hitting the vehicle. The front tires should be close to the front of the trailer, but don't necessarily have to be touching the front lip. Slide ratchet straps over each wheel, then hook them on the trailer and open and close them until they are extremely tight. You should see the vehicle start to ride lower on the trailer as the straps compress the springs in the vehicle's suspension. Then attach the two safety chains to the recovery points on the vehicle's frame. If you are having trouble locating the recovery points to attach the chain to, locate them in the owner's or service manual for the specific vehicle. All four wheels should be strapped down with two additional safety chains on the vehicle when you're done. It takes an average of twice as far to slow down or accelerate when towing a vehicle, so plan ahead when approaching stops, intersections, or turns. Never follow another vehicle closely when towing. Even if your vehicle is powerful enough to accelerate quickly when towing, it may still struggle to effectively brake.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Connect the trailer to the tow vehicle. Line up the tow vehicle and trailer directly in front of the towed vehicle. Pull the towed vehicle up onto the trailer. Secure the tire straps and safety chains. Plan ahead for turns and stops.

Q: . Some people find that applying rubbing alcohol to a burrowed tick can shock the tick, making it easier to remove. Even if this does not work, experts recommend using rubbing alcohol to kill and preserve a tick after removal. This makes it easier for doctors to determine if the tick was a carrier of Lyme disease. Use a clean cotton swab to apply rubbing alcohol to the area where a tick is attached. If you don't have cotton swabs, you can pour a little rubbing alcohol directly onto the skin. Use clean tweezers (preferably after sterilizing them, which you can do with rubbing alcohol) to grip the tick's body as close to the surface of your skin as possible. Gently pull the tick upward without breaking any part of the tick's body. Drop the tick into a jar or bottle filled with a little rubbing alcohol. Be sure the tick is completely submerged. Use rubbing alcohol to cleanse the skin's surface where the tick was removed. Use a spray bottle to apply rubbing alcohol to the inside of sneakers. The rubbing alcohol will kill the bacteria causing the smells, leaving your sneakers clean and odor-free. If you're out of nail polish remover, you can use rubbing alcohol in a pinch. Pour some rubbing alcohol onto a cotton swab, and rub hard on your finger nails to remove old nail polish. Nail polish won't come off as easily as with actual nail polish remover, but it will still strip away the old nail polish. A common folk remedy for fevers is to apply rubbing alcohol to the skin. As the alcohol evaporates, it's thought to offer a cooling sensation. However, pouring rubbing alcohol on the body, especially on children, can be extremely dangerous. A number of children have actually slipped into comas after their parents applied rubbing alcohol to treat a fever. For this reason, using rubbing alcohol to relieve the symptoms of a fever is highly discouraged.
A:
Remove a tick Get rid of sneaker odors. Remove nail polish. Do not use rubbing alcohol to cool feverish skin.
