    Relevant blurb from another article:

    "The family of new glass compositions, which the team calls LionGlass, get their new powers by swapping the soda ash and limestone for either aluminium oxide or an iron compound. The silica content can vary from 40% to 90% by weight."

    My most recent project was fencing about 5.5 acres in, about 500ft of the fence line was on a rock shelf. tposts have a hard time being drove by hand into boulders. I used a 1" x 18" bit to drill all but two of the posts on that side.

  • Benefits questions
  • Depends.

    You are eligible to receive free care through the VA for anything you are service connected for. If you haven't talked with a VSO, I would talk with one to see if you qualify for anything beyond 10%. I had a buddy i recently met who had been sitting at 10% for almost 10 years, I encouraged him to look into it again based on what he was telling me about what issues he had been having since service, he's now at 80% and possibly going to hit 100%. He had really bad rater and wasn't working with a VSO the first time.

    An example, tinnitus is a very common issue that gets you 10%, this qualifies you for free hearing aids, and they are pretty great. I don't notice the ringing when I wear them, and they are bluetooth, so I can take phone calls and listen to music.

    You don't qualify for dental care unless you are either 100%, or are service connected for a dental disability.

    I believe that any service connected disability qualifies you for vision care through the VA (based on my reading of the VA website), but I have never personally used this.

    Visiting your local VSO can help you determine the specifics of your situation.

  • Benefits questions

    Does anyone have any benefits questions? There aren't a lot of people here, but I'd be more than happy to answer what I can. I have run into a lot of misinformation with other vets.

  • The form is ATF4473, it is a government form, and lying on it is a felony.

    "Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?

  • What to look for in power tools for a disabled home owner?
  • So, material being drilled in to will determine type of drill.

    Drilling into concrete requires what is called a "hammer drill" and masonry bits. Drilling into concrete is more challenging than wood. A hammer drill has an internal hammer that helps pulverise the concrete and drill through it. It also takes more weight to go behind it, and they are heavier. And the masonry bits are designed for that sort of cutting

    I have a Hilti TE-24 that is great for me, but my physical limitations are different then yours. Lowes has a dewault corded hammer drill @ 7amps for $89 that is probably going to be fine for your purposes. Especially if you're just trying to hang pictures and stuff. If you want a bigger one, the 10 amp model is $170.

    Without more detail on your physical limitations, and I can't really give more advice except that you need a hammer drill for concerete

  • If you dont use concrete, the posts will loosen up over time. The previous commenter was right about looking up a YouTube video. There is a steel rod that holds the cross piece onto the post, and then you tension wire diagonally to hold itsll together.
