- To make sure a deck, a planter box, or another building project is square, one can do one of two things. The best way is to*^*measure, diagonally, from one corner of the project to another. Next, a measurement of the other diagonal space should be*^*obtained. If the project is square, the two diagonal measurements will be equal. If not, adjust the frame until the two*^*measurements are the same. The next method of checking to see if a project is square is to use a tape measure to measure three*^*inches from one corner up one side of the frame. Mark that point and then measure four inches down the other part of the frame.*^*Mark that point as well. Measure between the two points. If the distance is exactly five inches, your project is square. If not, the*^*frame needs to be adjusted until the diagonal measurement between the two points equals exactly five inches.*^*This paragraph is about: .......
- If you want success when painting a deck, you have to prepare beforehand. First, the deck should be inspected for paint that is*^*peeling. If any old, peeling paint is found, it should be sanded off until a spot in the paint is reached in which nothing is peeling up*^*off the deck. Next, the deck should be swept and washed until there is no debris or dirt left on it. These steps help to ensure that*^*the paint will adhere properly to the deck. Next, one should use painter's tape to mask off any area that touches the deck that will*^*not be painted. Once that is complete, you should make sure you have a durable new brush, and, perhaps a paint roller. The paint*^*needs to be thoroughly stirred prior to beginning the job and you should make sure there is no excess paint on the brush or roller*^*
- When buying someone a gift, it important to consider that person's hobbies, preferences, and needs.

- It is important to choose wisely and carefully when buying a cordless drill. There are so many varieties out there and different*^*levels of quality. While searching for a low price is always a good idea, quality must be the priority or a cheap inadequate tool*^*might fail and make the consumer spend more when he/she has to buy the good quality tool after the first purchase. Some things*^*to consider when buying a cordless drill are: the reputation of the company that made the tool, the voltage of the tool, expected or*^*tested lifespan and whether it comes with a comprehensive warranty or not.*^*This paragraph is about: .......
- Refinishing furniture can be very rewarding. After the old paint or stain is stripped away and/or sanded off and a new coat of paint*^*or stain is applied, a dramatic difference is often immediately apparent. If the hardware on the piece of furniture is old and ugly,*^*new hardware can make a big difference in the look of the piece. These two things, alone, can result in a unique, new-looking*^*piece of furniture instead of a shabby, old, dinged-up piece.*^*This paragraph is about: .......
- Double-checking the alarm on your alarm clock can save you a lot of money and heartache. I don't know how many times I have*^*failed to wake up on time due to an alarm that was set for the wrong, wake-up time.

That way, one can be relatively sure that he or she will wake*^*up at the proper time.*^*This paragraph is about: .......
