static....advice for builder

Hello all. This will hopefully be my last topic regarding my build. I just have a few questions, just to be safe.

1. What are good household itens to destatic...er, ground myself...or whatever?
2. How often should I ground myself if I'm not on carpet?
3. How do I insure that I dont build up another static charge?

I usually wear one of these

I also wrap a 50 foot grounding wire around my neck just to be on the safe side.

the gauntlet's make it kind of tough to set jumpers though.

wearing operating gloves seems a bit overkill, if you're worried just get an anti static wrist strap

Wear the gloves just to be safe. It's winter where I am and the dry air has got me shocking everything lately.:o I'm still building (in my non-carpeted basement) and i'm shocking stuff down there too. I keep a bag of vinly gloves by my workbench. Better safe than sorry no?
