thanks for the tips. yea, I would love to buy one if I can...it's just that I'm having trouble finding an exact size that fits as perfect as I want.

It might not be anytime soon, but Im wondering how to install wood floors and how to buy them. There is a place in my local area(not sure if I"m allowed to give out the name) that always advertises hardwood for cheap: bamboo flooring for 1.19/square feet, 49 cents laminate, etc etc. I know...

So I"m planning to build my first piece of furniture - a tall book case. It will be a very simple one, aprox 8 to 10 feet tall, 3 feet wide, rectangular. no moldings, or anything for now. a very basic one. Questions: what type of wood do I buy, and in what thickness is reccomended? do I...

so a few weeks ago, I posted about my air conditioner system making a thumping sound because the shutter for my air freshner would open half way and then slam shut. I had my a/c guy come take a look at it and he said that the damper motor needs replacement. He turned it off for me for now so...

thanks. I actually already cleared out the holes with goold ol' hammer and chisel. it's the residue/leftvoer that got stuck on and around the brick that I cannot get out. any suggestions for these?

a lot of homes these days, builders put gaps between every 4th brick or so. I believe they are called control joints right? something that was done on purpose. anyways, to make a long story short, my father, not knowing what it is, and thinking that the builders did a poor job in building...

okay, so I just called my A/C guy and I explained to him what's wrong. he said it's the damper. since it' out of warranty, I might need to pay for parts and or labor. I'll make appointment tommorow. in the mean time, anyone know how to fix it. diy? I want to save some money...he did...

I do not have a basement. what are 'binders? btw, is this considered 'bad?" I mean, could this lead to serious foundation problems with the home?

thanks everyone. so my question is how do I know whether it is electronically controlled or manully controlled? someone mentioned about the duct leading to outside and to check the voltage. where do I go to look at that? and someone asked about the spring....the spring is what is used...

okay, so I have no idea about air conditioning or how it works, and I dont know any of the technical terms, so I'll do my best with pictures. So in the hallway is where the air is flows in: I open the grill, and I took out the air filter...

the thing is that when we first bought it, it was very quiet. it was right after the 1 year warranty expiration date that it startd to spin so intense that the room across from it shakes...

I live in a new construction, built in 2006. today, I saw this in my backyard: http://img227.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img00190hg0.jpg http://img134.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img00191co7.jpg http://img134.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img00192ny5.jpg this is kind of scaring me. I...

we have an LG washing machine that shakes very intensly during it's cycles. It's standing on a pedestal. I verified that it is already level. What else could it be?

so my backyard has a covered patio, and I plan to make a very simple kitchen. When I say, simple, I mean very simple. I plan to make a 'shelving' area to hold ingriedients, and this shelving area can also be my table to place my a portable cooktop. The question is this: Is it better to get...

thanks, that makes sense. so how do I 'get' this air gap? something I need to do?
