Can I lose my gut and build upper body muscle at the same time?

By on Tuesday, June 14th, 2011 | 4 Comments

I am a 49 year old male with a 42" waist. (Yes, it protrudes out further than my chest.) I am mostly healthy and active otherwise.

About three weeks ago I decided to conquer this gut thing. Now, I eat mostly all low fat food, (calories from fat less than 30%.) Every morning, I do 70-80 sit-ups on the ab-lounge chair and do 20 minutes on the elliptical machine. (Whew!) I also alternate workouts with heavy weights. Chest, neck, and shoulders one day, arms and legs the next day.

So far I am down 6 or 8 pounds from 180 but, some of my muscles have actually gotten smaller.

Do I need more carbs to feed my muscles or is this just normal? If I increase carbs and protein for muscles, won't that blow my diet?

Confused about sustenance.

    Remington 10" Pole Saw Compatibility with 14" or 12" Saw?

    By on Tuesday, June 7th, 2011 | 3 Comments

    My 10" pole saw has cracked and broken and no longer safe to use. I want to replace just the saw but don't see a 10" model. Will the 14" which looks just like it, (in the pictures, haven't seen it in person) with the same 8 Amp motor, work?

    I see Sears has a 12" looks the same too...

    After doing a little more research I went to Sears and bought the 14" Remington(on sale). The motor and casing are the exact same size. It bolts up perfectly. Works fine and can't be more than 1 pound heavier than the 10"(just 4 extra bar inches and some extra links). So I answered my own question.. Can I get those 10 points?

      Help Building China Cabinet?

      By on Tuesday, May 31st, 2011 | 2 Comments

      I don't have much experience and basic tools but I want to build a quick inexpensive sturdy cabinet to hold all the glassware we got for a wedding gift that is currently stacked in boxes on my dresser.

      I have just under 12" of space between side wall and a door-frame in my living room. I plan to make a piece that is about 10" deep by 20" wide by 8 feet tall, from 1x10 pine, basically like a bookshelf (which I did once before), then put on some glass doors on the front.

      I have a few questions:
      Can I buy already-made glass doors? Does Home Depot have them? Do they come in standard sizes?
      Do I have to buy hinges separately? What's the best kind?
      What should I use as backing for the cabinet?

      Many thanks...
      I was going to do adjustable shelves, but was thinking of having one fixed shelf maybe half-way up to make the unit sturdier.

      I'm wondering if I can get started on the cabinet now and worry about the doors later, or do I have to take available (standard) door sizes into account when designing the cabinet?

        What is the average height of a farmhouse apron sink in a kitchen?

        By on Thursday, May 12th, 2011 | 1 Comment

        To sum it up...the existing plumbed area, for the kitchen sink, is below a window. I am afraid it is not tall enough for average size cabinets. My idea for a solution to this problem, rather than change the window, is to custom build a cabinet for a farmhouse sink. Got any other ideas? The area is only 32" in heighth before the window frame. Or....do I have big problems?
