Improve

Here are some quite interesting videos on the application of 3D printing to construction. It seems to be very promising for the future when combined with concrete and has the potential to completely revolutionize the way we construct homes and office buildings.

There is a lot of waste and areas for improvement under current construction methods and the following ideas seem to lean towards an inevitable means of cost savings, time savings, energy savings, energy efficiency and safety improvements. Though I think it sad that many jobs may change, I still think it useful to understand and be ahead of these changes so that those who are in the industry can better position themselves for the future.

I hope to be doing more posts soon on many possible advancements in technology of maintenance and construction. Your sharing this post will help let me know the level of interest in the subject of technology as it applies to maintenance and construction.

Five Most Common Problems With Vertical Blinds

OK today, I am going to be showing you the five most common problems with vertical blinds.

00:13 One of the most common problems is simply a blind slat being out of step something as simple as this where it is just going to hang up and now your blinds are not going to turn and open up.

So first thing is your going to want to go along and make sure that all of your blinds are in a row and that’s one of the most common problems.

00:35 Another most common problem is a broken blind slat itself often they will break off right here and what you can do is flip your blind slat over and use a hole punch and punch some new holes and than re hang it up.

If you want to you can trim it off straight or you can get replacement slats and trim them down. I have a video on those repairs, video on that repair and I will try to put the link on this video so you can click over to it.

01:02 The Third most often repair that’s needed is a stripped master gear now as I showed you if one of the deals was hanging up or the blinds were hanging up and someone continued to try to force it. It can strip the master gear. And there is a couple of different types of master gears this one is a
self aligning master gear it links underneath the first slat. This one you can take out these screws and link it to the first carrier. I’ve got a video on that also so I will try to put the link on here.

01:35 Fourth most common type of repair that is needed is where you have an individual blind that is not turning all the other ones are turning just fine. And that one individual blind is not turning.

What’s needed is either the head the uh… the gear herehas got some broken teeth on it or the comb gear itself has broken off and these can be replaced.

I also have a video on that I will put the link on this video it is for the stem
and comb gear.

02:05 And the Fifth most common problem with vertical blinds is that the blinds are hard to open. Now, this one is not so bad, it slides pretty easy, but if you had a set that was hard to open what you want to do is lube it with silicone spray. Apply it to the entire length inside the track. And it is not the best smelling stuff in the world but it really does a good job in lubing the blinds because what it does silicone lube dries and it still maintains its lubricant qualities. And because it dries it is not going to collect as much dust and dirt and debris and than clog up.

Anyway once you put it on let it dry for about 15 minutes and than go ahead and work the blinds in and you are good to go.

And that is the five most common problems with vertical blinds.
There’s a few others. I will try to add them on later but that’s about the five most common.

00:10 Welcome to the Kung Fu Maintenance dashboard!
00:12 Today I’m going to be showing you well, one-way
00:16 you might improve your english if your learning
00:20 reading, writing, understanding
00:21 improving
00:23 pronunciation, dialogue, all those types of things
00:25 what i have here is using the closed captions feature inside
00:29 youtube
00:30 I haven’t done it to all my videos
00:32 I’ve made a start here in doing this
00:35 and in translating
00:36 I’ll maximize it
00:40 what it does down at the bottom is it has got these captions
00:44 as long as you select that.
00:46 Now let me show you how to do that. Down at the very bottom
00:50 click on this little “cc” button right here
00:54 and that turns on the captions
00:56 and now you click on the captions button
00:59 and you can bring up your language so let us say spanish, russian, portuguese
01:04 japanese, italian, german, french,
01:07 chinese, arabic
01:08 I’d like to add more languages little by little. If you don’t see your
01:12 language here please just put a comment on this video requesting
01:15 your language and
01:17 I’ll consider adding it if it’s possible for me to do it. Also little by little I
01:21 may need help with translations so
01:24 if you’re interested in
01:25 translating or proofing translations you can also put a
01:28 message on here. I am going to be doing a lot of videos and
transffering them over
01:32 also sometimes the translations may not be that good
01:36 so let us
01:37 see on this one today I wanted to go over the five most common problems with washing machines
01:41 converted it to spanish
01:43 and it says it in spanish. Now i’m not sure how accurate that is
01:47 you’ll have to tell me
01:50 I poquitho(Spanish for tiny) know only a tiny
01:51 bit of Spanish
01:54 not enough to translate this but i am trying to learn, I like to learn
01:58 different languages it’s just kind of something I have been studying
02:00 anyway
02:01 anyway here it is in Arabic and
02:05 here it is in Chinese
02:07 so anyway you if you wanted to improve your
02:09 English
02:10 this would be one way
02:12 you can have the subtitles in your own language and than
02:17 watch the video
02:18 and you will get to kind of learn
02:20 two things, well a few things. You will get to learn how to fix stuff as well as
02:26 learn a different language so hopefully that is helpful to you
02:30 uh… one more thing here
02:33 Let me pause the video here
02:36 and go over to my
02:38 blog site The KFM Blog
02:41 now you can get here
02:42 by going to my channel
02:44 I just clicked on my channel here the
KungFuMaintenance channel and i’ve
02:48 got a link here to the blog The KFM Blog
02:52 now on the blog
02:53 I’ve got all these different blogs and I have started putting the translations
02:57 from the
02:57 the youtube videos below each
03:00 video blog so
03:02 for instance this one is all translated
and it’s got the time segments so that you can
03:07 translate it over easier but the
03:09 thing that is really neat about this
03:12 about my site here
03:14 is that you can go down
03:15 to the translator and you can actually translate
in into your language so
03:21 if you wanted to see it in a different language
for instance let us say you understand Hebrew
03:24 really good but you don’t understand English so well
03:27 than you can
03:28 click over
03:29 and change it into Hebrew
03:31 than you can read the articles in Hebrew
03:33 and watch the video
03:34 to go along with it so
03:37 little by little I am going to be adding more and more to this
03:40 again you are probably going to see some errors so
03:43 you have to take it with a
03:46 grain of salt here but
03:47 little by little I am going to have to add this and edit and fix
03:51 different problems there may be some humorous stuff
03:54 I’ve actually had some pretty humorous things
happen with the translation
03:58 hopefully uh… nothing offensive in there with the translation please forgive me if
04:03 there is, it’s not me I don’t translate this i don’t know
04:06 these languages I don’t know hot to speak Finish or German
04:09 I do try to learn
04:11 things a little bit but I’m a far ways from actually understanding those things
04:16 so anyway I hope that helps if you’re
04:18 out there wanting to learn english as well
as pick up some maintenance skills
04:22 along the way this is kind of a nice way to
learn
04:25 a few things at the same time so i hope
you like, favorite, and subscribe
04:29 and if you
04:31 feel up for it there is a donate button
here that helps me do what I do
04:35 Let me try to get this back
04:38 to English here let’s see here we go
04:41 and now it is going to translate it back into
English so
04:44 also got a link to my book
04:46 on the blog here
04:49 and got the donate button where you can
04:51 buy me a cup of coffee
04:52 which would be great
04:53 helps me do what I do and put a
04:56 little energy behind it
04:57 kick start me on the next blog
04:59 or on the next video
05:01 anyway I hope the videos help
05:03 hope you like this video hope it helps some of you out there. Thanks for watching!
