INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Determine the fuel efficiency of the vehicle you'll be using so that you can estimate how much the fuel will cost. Find out how many miles or kilometres your trip will cover, then divide that number by your MPG (miles per gallon) or km/l (kilometres per litre). That will tell you how much fuel you will need to cover the entire journey. Multiply that number by the current or expected price per gallon/price per litre to see how much money you'll be spending on gas through the whole trip. Example: If your trip is 2,000 miles and your car gets 30 miles per gallon, then 2,000 miles / 30 miles = 66.5 gallons, approximately. If the price of fuel is at about $4 per gallon, the fuel will cost 66.5 gallons x $4 = $266. Example: If your trip is 1,000 kilometres and your vehicle travels 15 kilometres per litre, then 1,000 km 15 km/l = 67 litres, approximately. If the price of fuel is at about 1 per litre, the fuel will cost 67 litres x 1 = 67. Remember that the MPG or the km/l of your vehicle will be reduced if you'll be towing a trailer or adding considerable weight to the vehicle in any way. How long will driving take? If you must stay in hotels or motels, how much will it cost you? How much will you spend on meals and snacks? Do you plan on sight-seeing on your way, perhaps tasting some wine, or visiting old friends? There are companies that specialize in shipping vehicles across long distances. Make phone calls and ask the following questions: How long will it take? How much will it cost? How am I guarded against damages to my vehicle? What is this company's reputation? You can usually find reviews online.

SUMMARY: Calculate the cost of driving your vehicle. Make a realistic list of road trip costs, primarily food and lodging. Shop around for vehicle shipping rates.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Over time, the hinges on a door can loosen and cause the door to sag downward. When this happens, the top corner of the door catches on the door frame and prevents the door from closing properly. If the top corner of your door is catching on the frame, you'll need to adjust the hinges. Another way you can tell if your door is hanging downward is by looking at the gap between the top of the door and the frame. If the gap gets bigger as you move away from the door hinge, the door isn't hanging properly. Tightening the door hinges may solve the problem by pulling the door back toward the jamb (the hinged part of the frame) so it no longer catches on the frame when you try to close it. Tighten the screws on the hinges as much as possible and then try closing the door to see if the problem is fixed. If tightening the hinges didn't work, you'll need to replace the middle screw on the top door hinge. Screwing in a longer screw will help pull the door back toward the jamb. Tighten the screw all the way until the hinge is secure against the jamb. Then, try closing the door. The door should now close without any issue.

SUMMARY: Examine the top corner of your door to see if it's catching on the frame. Tighten the screws on the door hinges with a screwdriver. Unscrew the middle screw on the top door hinge if the problem persists. Screw a 3 inch (7.6 cm) screw into the top door hinge.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you're simply transposing the music to make it easier for the musician to play on their instrument, the transposition process is the same as if you were transposing the music for a vocalist. Some songs are easier to play on some instruments in one key than in another. Beginner musicians often can play more complex songs if they are transposed to an easier key. If you are playing with a musician who plays a "transposing instrument," however, the process is a little bit different. Transposing instruments are those such as the clarinet, for which a C would sound like a B-flat when played. If you're transposing a song for a transposing instrument, the key of the instrument will tell you how many steps up or down you need to transpose the song. Your interval is the number of steps between the original key of the song and the key of the transposing instrument. For example, if you have a song written in C that you need to transpose for a B-flat clarinet, you would need to move all the notes up a whole step, since B-flat is a whole step down from C. You also can use a transposition chart, that will tell you exactly what transposition you need if you want the song to sound right on transposing instruments. Now that you know the interval you need, all the notes in the song must be moved the same interval. Mark any sharps or flats not part of the key signature so you can come back to them. Move accidentals up or down from the same tone the note would have had in the original key signature. For example, if the song has a C-sharp and C is normally natural in that song's original key, you want to transpose from natural C. With all the notes moved and no accidentals, you should be able to work out what key the song is now in. If you're not strong on your keys yet, there are charts available online that will tell you. If you're working on sheet music, you'll want to note your key signature at the beginning of the song. Now that the entire song is transposed in the new key, you'll need to also move up any sharps or flats that appeared in the song and weren't part of the key signature. Go back to the original song and find the accidentals. Work out how far the accidental moved the note from where it normally would be in the original key signature. For example, if your song has a C-sharp and C is normally natural in that song's original key, the accidental has moved the note a half-step. Find that note on your transposed song and move it up a half-step as well, marking the accidental accordingly. If you've transposed the song correctly, when it is played on the transposing instrument it will sound exactly the same as when it is played on a different instrument.

SUMMARY:
Determine the reason to transpose the music. Identify the instrument's key. Move the notes up or down. Find the new key for the song. Fix your accidentals. Listen to the song played on the transposing instrument.
