Try some WD40. I know everybody said to do that but the throttle has some corrosion on it or rust.

I purchase a Lufkin tape measure and now the tape
When you pull it out eightteen inches, does it feel like it's under tension like normal? Is it retracting like normal? If so pull it out hard, in a quick tug, you probably got something in it. It's just bound.

Rok power drill
Flame no, sparks yes. If the sparks are that big it's time to replace the brushes in the motor. it's an easy job, a hardware store will have them. Like mcclendons or do it centers. big box stores probably not.

Using a Chalk Line To Mark Straight Lines
When working on walls for floors that have very large expanses of flat area, without a laser level it can be very difficult to mark long, straight and level lines. There is a very simple tool that many carpenters and construction workers favor over the laser level, it is the chalk line (or chalk box).
Using the chalk line is very simple, you lay the string down on the surface that you want to level. Many of the chalk lines have a hook like piece on the end to hook on to a nail or edge so you won't need a helper to hold it it place. When you reach the other side of the area you want to level, pull the string taut and pluck the string. This will transfer the chalk from the string to the surface.
If you are using a manual winding chalk line you will need to roll the string back into the box if you want to do another line. Some chalk boxes are automatic and will have a release that will wind the string back up like a tape measure. The reason that you need to rewind the strong after every line drawn is because you need to reload the strong with more chalk. Its like how when painting you need to reload the paint brush with more paint when it runs out.
The chalk inside the box can come in a few different colors that are used for differnet purposes. The most common color is blue, red is more permanent so its good for a line that needs to last for a day or more, and white is good for interior painting because it can wash off easily and doesn't bleed.

Need attic insulation for ladder area
Buy some styrofoam panels at the hardware store. They're usually 2"x2'X4" and they only cost a few dollars. Also get a small tube of construction adhesive. Stick them to the top side. Styrofoam if one of the best insulators you can but. I have it on the inside, of my metal basement door. In the winter, when the temperature drops to 10 °, my cellarway maintains about 65°.
!/16" thick styrofoam protesct your hand from 170° coffee.
