What s really fascinating is being inside a psych ward for people who may be suicidal.
How to hang yourself on floor level.
When hanging something at an average eye level position its center 57 to 60 inches from the floor.
A good cabinet installation starts with a good layout.
Set the door frame in the opening with the jamb resting on the finished floor photo 2 or on a spacer.
Hanging is often considered to be a simple suicide method that does not require complicated techniques.
Adjust the gap along the top slide shims between the floor and the latch side jamb until the head jamb is level.
Add this number to 57 58 59 or 60.
Label the location of the kitchen wall cabinets and appliances on the wall.
Mark the position of each floor joist along the sill plate.
Just hammer a nail into the floor by the side of the room you want to be level then run the string out to the far end with the string level attached.
Divide the height of the frame by two.
Measure from the highest point in the floor and draw a level line marking the top of the base cabinets.
However a study of people who attempted suicide by hanging and lived suggests that this.
Use the level again to ensure that the marks are level.
Screws through the jamb where they ll be hidden by the screws.
Jack the beam up slowly so that it can gradually shift and readjust until level again.
Now that you know where level is cut your beam down to the correct size.
Confirm the distance from the marks for the anchors to the line made earlier marking the top of the frame.
You can hang yourself off a doorknob if it comes to it.
Mark on your stud where level is.
Use the following formula.
Drill pilot holes for the anchors at the two reference marks.
Now reinstall the door hinges and the door.
Center the piece of wood on that mark and level it.
Mark the wall at the upper corner of each end of the wood.
From that line and draw another line for the bottom of the upper cabinets.
Suicide by hanging is the intentional killing of oneself via suspension from an anchor point such as an overhead beam or hook by a rope or cord or by jumping from a height with a noose around the neck.
From that number subtract the distance from the top of the frame to the hanging hardware.
Use a tape measure to measure 16 inches 41 cm in from the edge of the rim joist and draw a small notch.
Remove the hinge leaves from the jamb.
Floor joists should be spaced no more than 16 inches 41 cm apart from center to center to provide adequate stability.
Use the other nonsagging beams as your ideal so that you can bring all of the house s beams back into a level arrangement.
Measure up 19 1 2 in.
Place the jack beneath the sinking beam.
