Q: Pick the spot where you want to build your course before you draw up your plans, since you might have to account for narrow spaces, low-hanging tree branches, or other environmental factors. Pick a spot that's free of dangerous obstructions like protruding tree roots or sharp rocks. The best place to build is a big, open backyard where you'll have plenty of room to run, jump, and swing. Take measurements of the space where you want to build so you can plan the exact dimensions of your course. Popular obstacles include the Salmon Ladder, Warped Wall, and Quad Steps, but with the right materials, you can replicate many of the challenges you see on the show! Choose obstacles that will work with the space you have. For instance, if you have a very narrow backyard, you might want to build only a salmon ladder. If you can't dig post holes in your yard, you might only build the quad steps. Don't be afraid to get creative! If you have a sturdy tree branch in your yard, for instance, you could hang a series of ropes from the branch to create your own Tarzan Rope, where you must travel a distance by swinging from rope to rope. If you're including several Ninja Warrior obstacles, decide how you want to go through them. The order changes sometimes on the show, but the Quad Steps is usually the first obstacle, and the Warped Wall is usually the last, but you can arrange your course however you want. Try arranging your obstacles in varying intensity. For instance, if one obstacle requires a lot of upper body strength, try following it with one that builds your balance, then one focusing on leg strength. Draw the obstacle course exactly as you picture it on a large piece of paper, using the measurements you took from your yard. By having a blueprint, you can plan out exactly how your obstacles will fit in the space you have available. Having a plan in advance can also help you design your obstacles to be as safe as possible. When you're drawing a blueprint, you want to draw to scale. For instance, you might decide that 1 inch (2.5cm) on your blueprint is equal to 1 foot (0.30m) in real life. In that case, you would draw a 12 feet (3.7m) post exactly 12 inches (30cm) tall on your blueprint. Your blueprints should show a top view and a side view to help you picture it as you build. If you're using found materials to build your course, try to gather them up before you draw your blueprint, since they could alter the dimensions of your plans.
A: Find a good spot to build your course. Decide which Ninja Warrior obstacles you want to include in your course. Decide on the order of your obstacles. Draw your blueprints.

Q: Near the drain valve where the hose is connected is a knob or lever that opens and closes the valve. Turn the knob or lever to open up the valve. Make sure it's opened all of the way to allow for proper drainage. If the valve is difficult to open, use a wrench to help turn it. At the top of the water heater is a valve that allows air to flow into the unit in order to relieve pressure that can build up inside of it. Open the pressure relief valve to allow air to run through the valve and drain the water. If water doesn't start to flow immediately, loosen the nut on the top of the water heater that connects the drain valve to allow more air to pass through. Do not remove or entirely separate the nut at the top of the water heater. Just loosen it to allow air to pass through. Be careful not to snap or jerk the valves so you don't risk damaging them. It can take up to 30 minutes for your water heater to completely drain. When the water stops flowing from the garden hose, then the water heater has finished draining. Keep an eye on the garden hose to make sure it's draining properly. Sediment can collect at the bottom of your water heater so it's important that you run fresh water through it to flush it all out. Turn the water valve to start the flow of water through the heater so it drains through the drain valve. Allow the fresh water to flow for at least 5 minutes and then turn it off again.
A: Turn the knob on the drain valve to open it. Pull up on the pressure relief valve at the top of the tank to open it. Allow the water to drain completely. Open the water valve for 5 minutes to flush out the water heater.

Q: If you get heartburn more than once a week, schedule an appointment with your doctor. You should also plan on seeing them if your heartburn doesn't get better with home remedies or over-the-counter treatments. Your doctor may suggest other treatment approaches or run tests to determine if you have a more serious underlying condition. Your doctor may recommend a variety of tests to determine what might be causing or contributing to your heartburn. Some common tests include X-rays of the esophagus and stomach, endoscopy (in which a tiny camera is passed into your esophagus to check for abnormalities), or acid probe tests to monitor the presence of acid in your esophagus. Give your doctor detailed information about your health history, any symptoms you've been having, and any medications or supplements you are currently using. The symptoms of heartburn can be similar to those of a heart attack, so get immediate care if you have any doubt about what you're experiencing. Go to the emergency room or call emergency services if you experience severe burning, pain, or pressure in your chest along with symptoms such as: Difficulty breathing Pain that radiates into your arm or jaw Nausea, indigestion, or abdominal pain Weakness or fatigue Cold sweats Lightheadedness or dizziness Sometimes heartburn comes with other severe symptoms that could indicate a more serious medical issue, such as gallbladder disease or more severe gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Call your doctor right away if your heartburn is accompanied by: Persistent nausea or vomiting Difficulty breathing, especially after vomiting Pain in your mouth or throat, especially while eating or swallowing Difficulty swallowing
A:
See a doctor for persistent heartburn that doesn't respond to home care. Seek emergency care if you have heartburn with heart attack symptoms. Get medical attention if you have nausea, vomiting, or mouth pain.
