The tripod acts as the pump for your well, so you'll want it to sit directly over the hole in a stable position. Make sure that the feet are on even ground and that it doesn't rock back and forth. If you used the well point method, your PVC pipe will already be in the ground. However, if you used the auger method or another drill, you'll need to place the well screen over the outer foot valve pipe, then lower it into the ground. Again, if you used the auger method, you'll need to lower the inner foot valve pipe into the outer foot valve pipe. It may be easiest to screw all of the pipes together before inserting them into the hole. The hand pump will create the pressure that draws water out of the earth, so you'll want to make sure that it's firmly connected to the PVC pipe. Screw it in all the way and attach the handle. Draw up some water from your new well to make sure it works. Before you drink or use any of the well water, you'll want to have it tested to make sure there is no bacteria or other contaminants in the water. Many labs test water quality, so search in the phone book or online for a facility that can help you.

Summary: Set up the tripod directly over the bore. Install the outer foot valve pipe if you used an auger. Install the inner foot valve pipe. Attach the pump. Test your water quality.

This end is typically connected to your computer. This end is called the "A" connector. The almost square end is called "B". It looks kinda like a B. The male ends of both the standard and extension cables are interchangeable. USB extension cables are typically suitable to support connections that are 9.8 feet (3 m) or less in distance. Extension cables come with single and multiple USB port support, depending on your need.

Summary: Disconnect one end of your standard USB cable. Hook the male end of the standard USB cable into the female end of the extension cable. Connect the male end of the extension cable to the device that is furthest away.

Talking about boundaries can be a touchy subject. Make the conversation a little easier by talking with the other person at a time when you're both emotionally stable. Avoid introducing the topic of boundaries during or right after a fight. If the other person feels defensive or angry, the conversation won't be productive. Introduce the topic by saying something like, "Are you free for a minute? There's something I've been wanting to talk with you about." Be upfront when you tell your loved one about your new boundaries. Be kind, but don't apologize or back down. Explain exactly what you need from the other person without any ambiguity. Use a calm, non-confrontational tone to lessen the risk of the other person taking offense. For your loved one, hearing about the new limits you're imposing on the relationship might sting. However, it's important that they understand why you're doing it. Be gentle but honest about your reasons. Phrase your explanation in a non-accusatory way that focuses on your needs instead of what the other person is doing wrong. For instance, if you find your spouse's mood swings exhausting to deal with, you could say, "It's really wearing me out trying to guess how you'll be feeling from one day to the next. I need you to communicate your feelings to me more regularly." Someone with BPD may feel insulted when others set boundaries with them. Make sure to give your loved one plenty of reassurance that you're not rejecting them as a person and that your relationship with them is still important to you. Emphasize the ways your boundary will benefit both of you. This will help your loved one understand that you're not setting limits just to try to push them away. For instance, you could tell a friend, "I think spending more time on our own will be good for both of us in the long run. I have more energy for socializing when I spend enough time alone, so we'll both have more fun when we do get together." Your loved one may try to make you feel bad for setting boundaries. Don't let them sway you with emotional manipulation. You have the right to protect your own well-being.

Summary: Choose a time when you and your loved one are calm. State your boundaries clearly and firmly. Explain why you are setting these boundaries. Reassure your loved one that you value them. Avoid letting the other person make you feel guilty.

If your yard is extremely bumpy and your grass is full of weeds, you may need to replace the lawn entirely. Dig up the existing turf with a shovel or kill it with a chemical herbicide or organic alternative to get rid of the grass quickly. At least 2 days before digging or excavating, you should request utility locates. In the U.S., you can call the national Digline at 811. This is a free service. Some grass may have roots up to 1 foot (30cm) deep that will need to be removed. If you are not leveling your whole yard, you do not need to remove your grass entirely. Mowing the area down will help you see the raised and lowered areas clearly as you work. It will also allow you to apply topsoil directly to the ground later on. If you notice uneven areas while mowing, mark them with a small sprinkler-marking flags. Look for uneven areas in your yard that could use leveling. Drive a stake into the 4 corners of the area that you choose. Tie string around the tops of the stakes to make the area you plan to level clear while you work. If you are leveling your entire yard, plan to finish the project over a period of several days rather than an afternoon. Don't worry about precise measurements while marking off the yard area. The area does not need to be even or perfectly rectangular. Attach the line level to the string to measure the highs and lows of your area. As you string the level along the line, watch the bubble on the line level's cover. If it is in between the 2 lines, the ground is level. If it is shifted to the right or left of either lines, the ground is uneven. Take measurements every 48 feet (1.22.4m) as you go around the perimeter of the area, marking which areas will need to be raised or lowered later on. If you notice a raised or lowered area as you level that you had not measured, use your line level to measure it before working on it. Refer to your notes any time that you can't remember which areas in your yard need to be leveled during the process. Making a to-scale drawing on graph paper can be very helpful as well. As you level your yard, you will need to continue taking precise measurements. Leave the stakes and strings up as you work. If the stakes tilt or fall over while you work, prop them back up in case you need to use your line level again later.
Summary: Remove your grass turf if you are leveling the entire yard. Mow any existing patches of lawn you plan to level. Find areas in your yard that you want to level. Use a line level to determine the highs and lows of your yard. Record areas that need raising or lowering on a piece of paper. Leave your string and stakes up while you're working.
