Problem: Article: Carbide scribes are tipped with tungsten carbide, a high-quality cutting material that's used in some of the best glass cutters. For cutting glass without a glass cutter, a scribe will be your best option. These tools don't have a cutting wheel, but the tip of the scribe is extremely fine and can easily score glass. You should be able to purchase a carbide scribe at most large hardware stores or home-improvement stores. It costs less than $10 USD. Diamond scribes are used to score sheets of metal for cutting in industrial settings. As such, they're more than sharp enough to score a sheet of mirror glass. They'll also last longer than most carbide scribes. You can purchase a diamond scribe through large online retailers or at some craft-supply stores. Diamond tipped scribes are about twice as expensive as the carbide tipped option. They'll cost about $20 USD. Inexpensive glass cutters have steel blades, so a steel file works as an approximate replacement. If you don't have a steel file, you can purchase one at a hardware store for under $10 USD. The file doesn't need to be large, but should have relatively sharp, angled edges to cut the glass. To cut glass with steel, you'll position the sharp edge (or pointed tip) of the file against the mirror, then scrape it back and forth until you've lightly scored the glass. Be aware that using a rough steel edge (like a file) to cut glass may result in an imprecise cut and a sloppy break. A carbide scribe will produce a sharper, more clean and accurate cut.
Summary: Pick a carbide scribe for a sharp, precise cut. Select a diamond-tipped scribe for a longer-lasting tool. Use an ordinary steel file for a cheap option.

Problem: Article: Avoid throwing any documents that have things like account statements, legal documents, or credit card and social security numbers. Instead, get a paper shredder to destroy the documents so other people can't steal the information. Once the papers are shredded completely, you can throw the scraps away as usual. If you have important documents that you can't get rid of, such as birth certificates, social security cards, or living wills, store them in a fireproof safe to protect them from any damage. Paper trays have multiple tiers so you can separate different types of documents. Pick a vertical paper tray if you don't have a lot of space, or a horizontal tray if you have some room to spare. Put the organizer near the edge of your desk so you can reach it easily throughout the day and grab what you need. Label each of the tiers so you know where certain documents should go. You can buy paper trays from office supply stores. Paper trays also work great for holding folders or notebooks. Designate a section of your desk to stay clean so you have room to spread out if you need to. Wall pockets are plastic trays that have multiple compartments to file documents and folders. Put a wall pocket near your desk so you can remove papers from your desk and reduce clutter. Make sure the different compartments are labeled so you don't get confused later on. Wall pockets can also be hung on the back of your door. Find a place on your wall that has enough space for a bulletin board and put one up. Organize the bulletin board into sections where you can pin items, such as documents, receipts, sticky notes, and memos. Keep the most important documents visible and stack older ones underneath. Many cubicles already have walls that you can put thumbtacks in. Use differently colored thumbtacks for each type of document you hang. For example, you may hang memos with blue pins and receipts with red ones. You can also pin personal photos if you don't have space for them on your desk. Get file folders in various colors and sort your documents so similar ones all share a single color. For example, you may put different types of expenses in red folders and income forms in green folders. Label the tabs on the folders with what type of document is inside. Once you have your documents organized, put them in a filing cabinet in a paper tray so you can find them easily. You can also attach colored labels to the tabs of file folders if you don't want to buy multiple colors. If you want to cut back on the amount of paper you're using, try writing any of your notes or schedules on your computer. Create folders on your computer and sort your documents into them, or use an online program to organize your files. Once a file is outdated, delete it so it doesn't clutter up your computer. Backup any important documents on a cloud storage site or external hard drive so you don't lose them if your computer ever crashes. If you have a scanner, you can upload physical documents onto your computer so you can get rid of the paper documents.
Summary: Shred any documents you don't need that have personal information. Sort papers into a paper tray if you need to keep them on your desk. Hang a wall pocket if you want to keep papers off your desk. Hang a bulletin board so you can easily glance at papers and memos. Color-code folders so they're easy to recognize. Try storing memos and schedules digitally to avoid using paper.

Problem: Article: If you are installing a garbage disposal of the same brand then you could keep the mounting bracket on the sink drain rather than removing it. The rubber seal will usually come with your new disposal. You can simply wrap it around the flange and then put the drain flange in the drain hole. You will need to use putty if your disposal does not include a rubber seal. Turn the disposal upside down and shake it to remove anything inside. Remove the electrical plate and pull the wires away from the disposal. Screw the strain relief sleeve into place and feed the electrical wires through it into the disposal. If you are connecting the disposal to a dishwasher, then you must remove the knock out plug using a hammer and screwdriver. On many disposals you will connect the ground wire to the green screw on the disposal, and then splice the white wires to white wires and black to black. Secure the connections with wire nuts and tighten the strain relief sleeve. Replace the cover plate on the disposal. You will attach a 90-degree disposal drainpipe to the disposal and the tailpiece to the other sink drain. There should be p-traps on both the disposal and the tailpiece from the other sink and they should be level to one another. Use straight pipes and a T-fitting to connect both drains into one line and route the drainpipes into the main drain. Dry fit the pieces together at first. Connect the pipes using PVC glue on both the outside of the pipe and inside of the fitting. PVC glue will melt the material a little to give a strong weld. If you are running the drain from a dishwasher through the disposal then you must connect the pipe to the disposal at the spot where you knocked out a plug previously. Turn on the sink and let water run through the pipes for several minutes to make sure nothing is leaking. This can prevent many problems in the future with leaks so make sure you test your pipes.
Summary:
Use this method if you have removed your garbage disposal and want to replace it with a newly purchased garbage disposal. Place a rubber seal on the underside of the drain flange. Prepare the new disposal. Connect the electrical wires. Attach the pipes. Connect the dishwasher drain line. Turn on the sink to let water through.
