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?

when we bought our house, it came with very nice white trim and white doors. Unfortunately, in order to get the fireplace and kitchen cabinets white, we had to pay an upgrade. We decided to not upgrade it and get the regular 'wood' color. A couple years later living in the house, we...

okay, thanks. exterior sealing primer and exterior paint. Can you explain about the air gap? what is that? also, how about the foundation(the first pic)?? thanks so much

do I just paint it with regular paint and that's it? I'm still a very novice home owner, so I have no experience or knowledge in maintance....

My backyard is the main area where my dogs play during the day. However, If I cannot have a gorgeous backyard, I would like to somewhat fertilize it and kill weeds to make it look decent. I'm assuming that that the liquid weed kill spray and the granulars aren't safe for pets? If so, what...

we have a new construction that was built in 2006. 1. today, I went to my back yard and I saw this on the foundation: a piece of foundation came off. Is this bad? Is this something that I need to worry about? IF so, what do I do to fix it? 2. my dog has been doing this to my...
