I am starting my own business in setting up receivers and dishes and such. What tools do I need to purchase to point a satellite dish?
Answer
1. Inclimeter - its a tool that you use that that helps you verify "line of sight" by checking the elevation and azmith. Elevation and azmith depends on what satallite you want to point at. Make sure you have at least a 3 degree clearance on both just in case of tree growth.
2. Your gonna need (2) 7/16ths wrenches to loosen and tighten the bolts when you are aiming the dish.
3. You gonna need a meter of some sort that tells you the strength of your satallite signal. You can buy a cheap one for probably 75 bucks but it wont tell you anything except signal strength, not what satallite you are getting signal strength from. The price goes up from there up to around 600 bucks which is what I have used. It tells you what satallites you are getting signal strength from, what transponders, and the signal strength for each transponder and satallite.
4. For assembling the dish, use your 7/16 wrenches
5. For mounting the dish, use (6) half inch lag screws about 4-5 inches long.
6. half inch socket for your drill to mount the dish
7. bishop tape or tar patch to put over and under the lag screws that you drill so the roof don't leak.
8. probably a phillips screw driver to screw in the screws that hold the LNBF in place.
9. Cable prep tool to strip the cable and put your fittings on
10. A set of Crimpers to crimp your fittings so they dont fall off.

What to look for in pots and pans?
Dave S
So some of our pans... which were cheap in the first place...
are starting to loose that non stick setup and overall it's time for some better ones.
I have been trying to find some info though AB's food network shows and page but cant find anything.
I have heard stainless is something worth the price.
I went to the store and my mom would not even look into spending for the middle of the line.
So budget is tight however I know good cookware will last a lot longer and will be worth the price.
So for the middle of the line, what should I look for in pans?
Answer
I finally went with all stainless steel cookware myself. Watch sales and you might come up with a bargain. Look for good,thick heavy bottoms on the pans for better heat distribution and less scorching. Handles should be well attached and comfortable in your hand. If you use your pans in the oven to finish something, get stainless handles also. I've had good luck with Tramontina and just picked up a set at Sears for $69 for the 15 pieces. Now 6 of those pieces were stainless steel storage bowls and lids. But the set had sizes that I either needed or wanted to fit in with my other set. Occasionally Wal-Mart has some pieces and sets in their clearance area also. I got 3 of the deep sided chicken fryers for $20. ea. when they normally go for about $50. I gave 2 as Christmas gifts! Sam's Club usually has Wolfgang Puck's stainless for around $100. for a large set. Good Luck!
Cleaning isn't hard. Usually a good soak with hot water and some dish detergent is enough. A Brillo pad works on more stubborn soil and I personally use a powdered cleanser called Barkeepers Friend on mine. Keeps them nice and shiny w/o scratching.
