As I understand it, the standard length of a couch is around 80 inches er so... but I'm 6'2'' and that just ain't long enough for me to be able to take a comfortable nap on. So, does anyone know of a good place to buy LONG couches online that also delivers (in the US)? Most furniture stores in...

We just moved to a place that has a septic system and I'm hearing Rid-X is the stuff to use. How often and how much do I dump down the toilet to keep the septic tank good to go (I also heard it needs to be pumped out every couple of years just to be safe)

We rented a new house and in the kitchen it has some funky looking wallpaper and you guessed it, the little lady wants to change the look. Over all, the wallpaper is stuck to the wall nicely (secure, no bubbles) except for a few places around edges where it's coming off. Someone that does...

What can be done to stop water from dripping on the floor from the AC vents in the ceiling where the cold air is coming from? In my case, it's not a lot... but the wife doesn't like it so if I cannot find a solution I'll get put in time out and have to wear a beanie with a little propeller on...

OK, so I'm thinking about upgrading our push mower which we've had for 3 years now that I've already had to change the drive belt once for the front wheel drive and buy new front wheels that are already wearing down significantly and they are less than a year old. The one we have now is a Troy...

Anybody have professional opinions of which brand of residential Circuit Breakers is considered to be the most reliable, meeting stringent modern safety standards? I'm currently researching this and wanted to see what other with electrical experience would suggest which would provide leads on...

So, if you had a house built in the late 60 / early 70s.... would you replace all the breakers as a preventative maintenance measure? I'm thinking it may be a good idea... you know, just because. I spent a lot of years in the automotive repair bidness and it's there that I learned sometimes...

Well, the other night at about 2am I heard this crashing sound coming from me bathroom, and turns out one of the bath tub shower doors had decided to shatter into thousands of pieces. Good thing it was safety glass! Anywho, I found a cheap replacement for $114 at Homes Debutt at...

OK, so here's a good question for the resident experts that have had experience with this subject... Is there ever a time when it's OK to cut the vertical limbs of a tree? I understand that cutting a substantial amount of the top of a tree is considered "topping" the tree which is not...

Does anyone know of a foundation watering system that comes with all the lines needed and inserts that go in the ground around a house foundation for water to go in to? I'm wanting to install some sort of system that is on a timer that automatically keeps the edges of the house slightly wet...

OK, so we are thinking of getting one of those metal carport structures installed over our drive way. The house we are in is a rental, but the landlord has authorized this installation so that's all good. Turns out, the city requires a permit and in order to get this I have to submit some...

OK, so I'm thinking it may be better to go with a Ductless Split Air Conditioner rather than the portable one I was asking about before since the split ac should be more efficient and some do heat also. So, do these commonly run on 110v or 220v, and should I have an electrician run a...

I have a standard size two car garage that I'd like to buy a Portable Room Air Conditioner for since I sometimes spend some time out there and in the summer it gets pretty hot in the garage. I can cut a hole in the ceiling for the exhaust vent and rout it so the hot air flows out of the vent...

I know a little 'ol lady that has a fairly small house with a nice looking metal roof... but she has leaks when it rains. I've heard of a coating you can put on metal roofs to seal them. Any suggestions on products / brands for this? And, if this something that you spray on or roll /...

For safety purposes, I've had the idea of placing some sort of camera with audio capabilities (hidden) by the front door with a screen somewhere in the house. I'd like to do this wireless if possible using the outside light fixture as a power source for the outside part. That way, when...

We are renting, so I don't want to install anything permanently... but I need a way to warm my garage so I can work out in it during the cold months. And, since the house has no fireplace, I can use whatever I get as an emergency indoor heater and I realize that we would need to crack a...

OK, so I like the idea of having some lights on at night on each side of the house. Currently, I have to manually turn on one light by the front door and two lights by each back door on the back of the house. What I'd like to do, and let me know if I'm being weird, is have two light fixtures...

OK, so we are renting, or I'd just install this under the sink with the dispenser up top... but, since we are renting the house I'm thinking of getting a Reverse Osmosis water cooler so we can have some cleaner than city water. The city water has a sheen floating on top of the water that looks...

I'm needing to run an ethernet cable from my home office thru the attic to the living room at the other end of the house... problem it that is is an older house that has one of those really low roof lines so there's hardly any room at all to crawl thru the attic to do this normally. But, in the...

How hard is it to install a garage door opener? The electrical plug in is there, so I'd just need to find studs in the ceiling to screw in to and line it all up? Anybody know where I can find some good video's on this?
