How to Deposit Stock Certificates Into a Brokerage Account

Endorse and date the stock certificate. Turn your stock certificate over and sign it exactly as the name appears on the front. The account you are depositing into must have the same name. If it is written to a single person and the account is a joint account there may be additional steps. Place the date near your signature.
Write the name of the broker on the back where it states 'constitute and appoint
__ Attorney.' This is where you put the name of the bank you are depositing it into, such as USAA or Ameritrade. This ensures that if it gets lost someone else will not be able to deposit it.
Write your brokerage account number under your signature. This will make sure it is deposited into the right account. This number should be located on your most recent statement.
Make a copy of both sides of the certificate and mail the original certificate to the address of the brokerage company. Choosing a certified mail option, will give you peace of mind that your package arrived safely. Watch your account statements to make sure the certificate has been deposited, and that the number of shares is correct.

How to Convert a Stock Trailer Into a Horse Trailer

Measure your trailer's length from the inside front wall to the back step off. Each horse will need approximately six feet on a slant load trailer. So if your trailer measures 18 feet, three horses will comfortably load slanted.
Hang the bungies every 6 feet, starting at the front and ending in the back of the trailer. These bungies will be used to tie the horse into the trailer and keep them still for the ride. Some people use one, others like to use two. Bungies are safe because they can break. Chains will not break.
Place mats down on the floor of the stock trailer. Stock trailers generally have metal floors making them easy to wash and clean out. Horses get nervous when they step in and hear the metal echo. The rubber mats will cushion that sound and the horse as they ride.
Add the dividers if needed. Some horses can ride next to one another without a problem. If you are going to be shipping a lot of horses, including one that kicks horses that are not yours, partitions are highly recommended. Some stock trailers have the joints where you can insert the dividers. Other trailers you might have to get creative or take them into a trailer shop.
Make sure that all the ventilation is open. Horses need air especially when traveling no matter what the weather. Rain will not come in too much when you are moving, and as long as there is more than one horse the horses will stay warm from their own body heat in cooler weather.

How to Paint Stock Cabinets

Wipe down the stock cabinets with liquid deglosser and a rag. Stock cabinets come prefinished with a slick exterior, and this glossy coating doesn't accept paint easily. Don't sand a stock cabinet exterior, as many feature thin veneers that are easily damaged. Liquid deglosser should be all you need to make the surface matte enough for paint coverage.
Remove the cabinet hardware, including the hinges. Most prefabricated cabinetry hardware is removable with a screwdriver.
Place loose doors and drawers on a plastic sheet for easier painting.
Stick painter's tape to wall surfaces and countertops in case of stray brush strokes.
Apply general-purpose primer to the cabinets, doors and drawers. Use a synthetic-bristle paintbrush for more precise control around edges, and use a medium-nap roller for larger cabinetry surfaces. Wait for the primer to dry before proceeding. Some general-purpose primers take up to 12 hours to dry, so you should consult the primer's container for the manufacturer's recommended drying times.
Paint the cabinets, doors and drawers, using high-gloss oil-base paint. Glossy finishes are easier to keep clean, a very important feature for kitchen and bathroom spaces. Use a natural-bristle paintbrush for tight spaces and a new medium-nap roller on the main expanses.
Apply a second coat of paint once the first coat dries, usually in two to three hours.
Remove the painter's tape, reattach the hardware and reinstall the drawers after the second coat has dried for at least 24 hours.
