Article: Turpentine is a common solvent that can be useful for cleaning oily build up on surfaces. This method will work on all kinds of wood furniture or surfaces that have built up hand oils and dirt, such as cabinets, doors and door frames. Avoid using abrasives like hard brushes or baking soda, as they can damage the finish of the furniture. Rub for a few moments until the built up oil and dirt is removed from the wood. You should see the cloth begin to discolour as it picks up oil and grime. Giving the furniture a final wipe with a clean, damp cloth will remove any remaining turpentine or oily residue from your wooden furniture.

Article: Cut off the hairy exterior of the root and slice 1 full taro root into thin pieces just as you would if you were making regular potato fries. Pour 2 tablespoons (29.6ml) of canola oil into a frying pan and let it simmer on medium-high heat until it is hot and sizzling. Add your taro slices to the pan and let them cook until the edges become golden brown. Then flip the taro slices and let the other side cook. When they are done, you can drain any excess oil by placing the taro slices on a paper towel. Then season with salt and they are ready to serve! Wash 12 small taro roots thoroughly. Place the roots in a steamer for about 10 minutes, or until the flesh is tender. After steaming, let the roots cool before peeling off the hairy outer skin. Place all of the peeled taro roots inside a large Zip-lock bag and add 2 teaspoons of oil, 1 teaspoon of chili powder, and teaspoon of turmeric powder. Toss the roots inside the Zip-lock bag until all of the roots are coated in the mixture. Scatter roots on a baking sheet with a piece of aluminum foil on top. Broil them for 25 minutes. Remove them when the root surfaces are charred and golden brown. Remember to turn the roots several times while they are in the oven. Take 1lb (0.45kg) of fresh taro roots and peel them. Carefully slice the taro roots into thin slices lengthwise. Place the slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and lightly coat each slice with olive oil. Put the baking sheet in the oven on 400F (204C) for 20 minutes, or until the edges are a crispy golden brown. You can sprinkle some additional salt on top of the chips if you want. Be extra careful not to cut your fingers while you are slicing the roots.

Article: Use a hacksaw, or heavy duty tin snips to cut the gutter at the appropriate measurement. You may need to cut your gutters at a 45 degree angle if two gutters meet at a corner. Locate each rafter tail usually spaced every 16 inches (40.6 cm) apart by looking for their signature nail heads. After you've marked the location of each one, drill pilot holes along every other rafter tail to make installation of the brackets easier. Brackets will either snap onto the gutters or will be mounted into the face board first, depending on the type of gutters you purchase. Review the manufacturer's recommendations for your particular type of gutter. Use a jigsaw to cut a square opening at the appropriate place in the gutter. An end cap should be used on any open-ended run of gutter. Slip the gutter into place by tilting it upward until its back end fits into place at the top of the bracket. The gutter should either snap into place or be reasonably snug. A bracket should be mounted to the face-board every 18 to 24 inches (45 to 60 cm). Use a stainless steel lag screw long enough to penetrate the face-board at least 2 inches (5 cm). To keep water from leaking through small cracks or openings at conjoined corners, insulate the aluminum strip further using waterproof caulk. This aluminum strip can be spray-painted ahead of time to blend in seamlessly with the color of the gutter. Make the strip long enough to extend an inch or two beyond the top of the gutter. Cut a triangular shape into the top of the extending strip, and then fold each corner or the strip over onto the top of the gutter, creating a clean look. Make sure that the tapered end of the downspout is facing down and aimed in the appropriate direction. To get the downspout to connect with the outlet tube, crimp the downspout with some pliers. Fasten the downspout to the gutters and the downspout to the outlet tube either with pop rivets or the appropriate screws.

Cut the gutters to size. Attach the gutter brackets on every other rafter tail. Mark the location for the downspout opening on the gutter. Attach the downspout connector and end cap to the gutter using silicone sealant and short metal screws. Mount the gutters. Wrap a thin aluminum strip around the underside of each gutter corner, riveting it into place. Attach the downspout to the gutters via the downspout connector. Seal any gutter connection seams with a heavy bead of sealant and allow to dry overnight.
