    Getting pretty sick of the Depot

    I feel the pain too, I went to HD and tried to find a small room heater for my office here and it was a huge pain. They have lovely lights and big appliances, but trying to find a person that finally told me 1/2 past later they were out, was a pain.

    General overhaul...ongoing(pix!!!)

    The cedar siding looks amazing. And for that 67 mustang, what a lucky lucky mate you are! I would take that full double open room (without the wall) and just make it one large room if possible. :) Maybe a nice rec room!

    Painting Wood Paneling

    Is this hard to do. Right now I have a den like room that has panel all over it, and someone decided to paint atop it, so it looks like crap. I have no idea what to do with it but its slowly driving me insane.

    Floor and wall rot in add on bath

    The picture would be a great idea so we could get a better idea of all you mean. I am horrible without seeing the issues. I love to see that it might have been a porch before hand. I know someones house that the now living room had a fireplace in it, next to the front door, there is a huge...

    Help finding recessed lights

    Anyone have pictures of this, I kind of know what you mean, I think but still unsure a little bit. I might be thinking of something else though too.

    Modular Homes?

    The only thing I know is that sometimes you need to special order things you may wish to replace (faucet, stove top, etc.) Most things for Mobile units are special made, the size is different so be careful for that.

    Stove Racks

    I am on the hunt for a stove rack, I got a stove second hand from a friend who needed some quick cash at a time. I dont cook too offten, but it seems anytime I want to bake something, I keep forgetting it needs a new rack. Any suggestions?

    Printer

    Right now Comp USA is going out of business all over, they are completly shutting down. You might very well find some good deals there. I have a an Epson CX5400, I got it a couple years back, but you can check their site if you need something like this (its a all in one type).

    Security Alarms

    I am wondering myself if the install price is really worth it. Has anyone done this on their own before?

    Woodworking Videos!!

    Thats awesome, thanks for sharing. I play around with woodworking, but not that great lately. Seems when you stop hobbys after so many years, its like you are learning all over again.

    Asbestos in walls and ceiling?

    Yes we are affected by somethings we dont really notice, but I would still have it tested to be on the safe side. I couldnt imagine leaving a house either to sell to someone new, or having my family still reside there without knowing. Then again, I worry a lot too. ;)

    Dryer taking forever to dry clothes

    Good catch, I know many that forget this and then wonder why their clothes are more fuzzy than when they went in! The little things add up with lint for sure.

    Check your dryer duct

    Good thread, many people forget thing from time to time. I try and check mine once a month if I can. Also, mine oddly doesnt clog anywhere in the middle, only the outter end piece that is outside of my house. So a quick spray off the trap (its a rodent trap) and its clean again. :)
