  HOW TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY HOT WATER HEATER

    Recently after suffering a power loss throughout my community i started to think and prepare for future outages. One of the biggest gripes during the outage was not having hot water. I decieded early upon a secure purchace of a generator would be wise, i was able to isolate certain areas of my house through the electricial panel. However you just need a 110v power recepticle prior to test and to maintain or elevate the tempature.

STEP 1-  Go Collecting

   I found all my items in various places around my house. So this step might vary depending on each individual situation, but here is mine and the items you will need. I first went to the back yard and in my shed grabbed a 5 gallon empty planter bucket. I then walked behind the shed and found a old pool i had, you know the cheep little above the ground ones. I robbed its filtering thingy with the cord, i needed its use not the technical term at that time.Once back inside i found duck tape(recommend getting extra) , 3 heavy duty trash bags, several hose clamps(screwing kind), and a old flexable shower handel with hose.My last items i grabbed in a hall closet were my drill(razor knife optional), a screw driver,and 2 sets of wool sheets.Now use your imagination if you want on the last item however it is EXTREMELY! important that you are certain that your heat is such that wont contact water or cause electricial shock.Since i am probably the last dude on earth with a water bed, i simply stole its heater.

STEP 2- Drill ,Cut and Tape 

     Take the 5 gallon bucket and measure or guess starting from the bottom ruftly 2 1/2 inches up and make a mark on the bucket.Now assuming you already took the time to remove the recirculating pump (a.k.a filtering thingy with cord) from its plastic housing and removed all hoses.You will need to be close if not under when looking at the diameter of its inbound side.Then mark that diameter circle onto your bucket making sure to place center of  diameter 2 1/2 inches from the bottom.Take either your knife or drill and make the hole. Remember less cutting or drilling is always better so keep them holes super tight as much as 1/4 inch less.This hole is for your pump. Take your trash bags and open the one and then the other inside that one.Now on only one side of both bags and up 8-10 inches poke a pencil size hole. Shove your finger through the hole keeping the two sheets together and lift your bags into your container. Oh yea it helps if you shove inside the bag out.Pull that specific pencil hole area of the bag out through your containers pump location hole.Slowly open the hole in both bags, i mean slowly and flatten them outward on the exterior and duck tape them down throghly. You want to remember that this will be its weakest point so less is more in this case. You should now have a bucket with two bags inside and the hole ready and taped.

STEP 3- Heater and insulators

   Take your heat pad or in my case water bed heater and wrap in nice and flat making sure to use equal thickness on both surfaces of the pad,tape down the access.Then opposite the pump hole on your container , stand up your heater pad in between the plastic bags and the inside of the container.At the pads four corners place a large strip of tape at an angle across them.Keep the pad flat along the whole inside before taping all four.Adjust the bags now so they fill the entire container and are not strained by the taped portion exiting the container.Pull both bags gently around the bucket top and over just past the rim on the buckets exterior and gently draw the ties(similar to a trash can).Then either tie off the ties or tape off.Take your pump and very gently from outside in,push your pumps inbound side in through the hole staying on the inside of the plastic and secure with original fitting.Wrap your buckets exterior also with wool sheets or insulation of some kind and tape tightly around the bucket.Make sure not to disrupt the pump from pressure caused by the sheet or insulation and tape down.

STEP 4- Finalize and place

   Taking your final plastic bag place entire bucket inside just like you would throwing it away. Secure its ties and tape them down at just above the buckets rim on the outside and on top of the others.Run a strip of tape all the way around where that seam meets the others.Carful to allow for the cord as well as the hose coming from your pump. The exterior bag is more for looks however it helps to tape any penatrations you need to make.Then after you establish location and placement of heater you can begin to prepare how fast and what functions you wish to use. Mine was for the shower to i had to reduce my hose with the clamps but if not fill her up gently and plug in her heater.

WaaaaLLLlaaaaaa.........instant Hot shower!!

Warning:Electrical shock and or death could occur from not properly inspecting or using a heating pad that is not water resistant. all others should be installed on containers exterior in same fashion and clear from any possible water.Heating times vary dramatically.message me for drawings or schematic for isolating your homes electrical panel in a emergency

A SURE 6 WAYS WAYS TO SPOT "TWEEKERS" LIVING IN YOUR COMMUNITY

meth users a.k.a TWEEKERS

Tweekers have been around forever and i can asume they're not going anywhere anytime soon.There are argueably thousands of ways to know that they are densly populated throughout our cities,ie. bicycles with trailors, swivel jaw, poor dental, but really these six offer you the real and the best.Tweekers are usually good-hearted people despite the drugs and drug lifestyle they are accustomed to.However, its uses impact and bring major crime to almost every city around you or someone close to you.

                                               Until NOW... !

1.) Crowd Control- this is simplly and easily noticable by the amount of cars and traffic you see frequent the house. Tweekers are 24/7 and usually in a subtle way run buisness in this fashion, which usually leads to long hours and lists of clients.

2.) No Control-this is no matter how many times you drive past their house or house in question you will always get a suspicious look or stared down.This stare comes from paranoia and lack of sleep due to meth addiction.

3.) The Hmmmmm Factor- this is usually brought on by any contact whether it be visual, or physical. The situation will make no sense or look strange enough  to where you always find yourself thinking and wondering hmmm.

4.) Honey have you?- admittedly all of us do misplace items on occasion but a whole lawn mower or a HD Tv, come on. Simply put, items will be found missing from on or around, and sometimes even in your homes. Ever go to find that moutain bike you had stored for years? Fail to close your garage and now yourrougolf bag is missing? This usually is only noticed by a repeated question between you and your spouse that always starts with, "Honey have you seen my....."

5.) Utility Challenged- this too is one of the more noticable traits as brought on by constant appearances from either PG&E or some other utility type company ie., water company , cable tv. These appearences are frequent and often up to 4 times in only one month.

6.) OPD Out? - Known to users as Obsessive Picking Disorder. Ever catch a glance or a close look at who is around you? Well this is one or the tougher of the six. Picking usually is noticed on the face or arms and seen done constantly. Most times the individual doesnt even catch it themselves.The end result is seen by red marks on skin or scabs and bandaids on face.

Thank you
