Article: Have a partner help you carry any furniture out of the room you want to paint. If there's nobody that can help you, slide the bottom of a hand truck under the piece of furniture and tilt the truck back to lift it. If you're painting your bedroom, move your mattress and dresser into a spare room or in a living space so you have a place to sleep. Don't try to move furniture by yourself if it feels too heavy. Either leave it in the room or have a friend come to help you before you start painting. Take down any artwork or pictures you have on your wall and store them in a clean space. Use the back of a claw hammer to remove any nails that stick out from your wall. If you have lighting on the wall or ceiling, you can either remove the fixture or cover it with plastic and tape to protect it while you paint. Use a flathead or Phillips screwdriver to take off the covers around your outlets and switches. Store the plates and screws in small plastic bags so you don't misplace them. Cover the exposed outlets with pieces of painter's tape to protect them. Leave your switches uncovered until you start painting so you can easily turn your lights on and off.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Take out any furniture that's easy to move. Remove anything hanging from the walls. Unscrew all of your switch plates and outlet covers and cover the outlets.
Article: For the first weeks or months after a breakup, space is key. If you try to jump straight into friendship, this is likely to backfire as you'll both be too emotional. Agree to a set period of time to cease or minimize contact so feelings of attraction, romance, and resentment can fade. How much time you give is subjective. Some people may be ready for friendship in a few weeks, while others may need a few months. How much time you spent in the relationship will have an effect; longer relationships typically require longer periods of limited contact. The reason it can be difficult to stay friends with an ex is that people feel the relationship is not finished. If you find yourself feeling you have more to say, or still need closure, it's not the right time to be friends. Wait until you feel at peace with the breakup to pursue a friendship. If you need to talk about a few more things before you can be friends, have a discussion with your ex about any loose ends a few weeks after you break up. Be sure to tie up practical loose ends. If you shared belongings or lived together, wait until your lives are completely separate before pursuing a friendship. Boundaries are important to any relationship, especially complicated ones. Recognizing your own feelings and limitations is key to establishing firm boundaries with an ex. Spend some time thinking over how your ex makes you feel and what kind of contact you're comfortable with. Ask yourself what kind of contact makes you feel bad. Maybe you don't like discussing your ex's new relationships. Maybe you don't like that your ex still calls you by your pet name. It's always okay to request someone stop or tone down behaviors that bother you. Find a good time and place to have a calm, sit down talk about your boundaries in regards to a friendship. Let your ex know directly what kind of contact is still appropriate and let them share their feelings as well. State your boundaries outright so there's no ambiguity. For example: "I'll eventually be fine with hearing about your romantic life, but I really need space from that right now. Let's not talk about dating together." Setting boundaries after a breakup can hurt, even if it's for the best. Recognizing contact will be more minimal and that certain topics are off limits can sting. After setting boundaries, do something nice for yourself. Go for a walk, watch a movie, or make plans with friends. Doing something nice for yourself may take your mind off of the break up and help you distance yourself from the subject. In turn, this may help you recover sooner.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Agree to give each other space at first. Wait until there's no unfinished business to pursue a friendship. Recognize your feelings. Talk openly about boundaries. Care for yourself.
Article: Place your drill bit into the indentations left from the center punchthese will help keep your drill from moving around. Carefully drill the holes for all of the screws. Use a drill bit that's slightly smaller than your screw size. You can look up charts online that will tell you what size drill bit to use according to your screw size. Do a visual check by holding up the drill bit in front of the screw. If you can't see the threads of the screw, the drill bit is too big and you need to go down a size or 2. Line up the hinges so that they're in the center of their tracings, then place a screw in each hole so you can tighten them down. Use a screwdriver to begin tightening each screw 1 at a time. Tighten the first screw 3 rotations, and then move on to the next screw. Do this until they're all evenly tightened. If your hinge came in 2 pieces with a hinge pin, you can replace it once the screws are nice and tight. Just drop it into place in between the 2 hinge pieces. If you're installing a door or cabinet, put the top hinge in first to help with the alignment.
