Some have heard that if you need nursing home care and run out of the money, the nursing home will take your home away. This isnât true. But your home can be lost, especially if you havenât planned in advance. Let me explain how this works. A nursing home canât âgo afterâ a personâs home or other assets.
The handles of a pair of oars should overlap by 4 inches, that is, the inboard portion of each is 2 inches longer than half the distance between the rowlocks. The distance between the rear edge of the rower's seat and the rowlocks should be about the distance between the inside of the rower's wrist and the inside of the elbow.
A traditional formula determines the correct oar length for your boat, using the width of your boat -- rather than the boat's length -- to determine the oar length required for comfortable rowing. 1. Measure the distance between the oar locks with a tape measure. 2. Divide the measurement by two and add 2 inches to the dimension. For example, a boat measuring 48 inches between the oar locks divided by two would equal 24 inches. Adding 2 inches would give you a measurement of 26 inches.
