I'm just glad this nest was abandoned when I popped that piece of drywall off. http :// tinypic,com /r/29ap4aw/5 David

I'm putting in a double door in my den's entry way. There are a couple of walls I need to put in that will not flush with the existing walls. I'd like to make them easy to take out if we, or another owner, decides to return to the original design. Would there be any problem with caulking the new corners as opposed to taping and texturing? That way...

I'm looking for a CHEAP squirrel cage type blower. When I didn't need one it seems they were everywhere in all my surplus catalogs, now no cheap ones to be found. Wish I could give a size and CFM but I don't know exactly, it's a hit and miss operation for a home made waste oil heater. I'm guessing from seeing others that it's about 250 to 400 CFM....

We have a double sink. When we run water down the disposal side dirty water comes up into the other sink. We have plunged both sides. Any help would be much appreciated.

I just finished putting in a tile floor in the bathroom. One area, the grout did not seem properly applied (I found some debris had worked its way in when applying it.) My question - I was able to scrape out the grouting fairly easily with a sharp edge of a trowel. Is this normal? I would have thought it would be much harder. It has been sitting for about...

For those that may be interested, I recently helped with a crown moulding project in one of my bathrooms. All corners were inside except one, and that one corner happened to be round. http :// i39.tinypic,com /1nydnc.jpg Here is how we handled it. It may not be what a professional would do, but I am happy with the results. Kate

I don't know if anyone is interested, but I got some good tips from this great group. I hired a professional to do the job, and I am quite pleased with the results. I wanted to share this pic with you. http :// i42.tinypic,com /4h5npf.jpg Thanks. Kate

Everyone, a big special thanks for helping me figure this out. One thing I can tell you for sure, I will never forget how to do this. A few weeks ago, I asked for help on tiling a small bathroom. That job was done to perfection, by a professional and I will post a pic of that now too. Hope I don't bore you too much now that I know how to do this. Many...

Hey guys, I have a light fixture on a 2-way switch that suddenly died. After doing some troubleshooting, I found out that when I turned the switch "on", the hot wire would go dead. When I turned the switch "off", the hot wire would be hot. I tried swapping the switch with a known good one, but the behavior persists. I have replaced the light fixture, and it...

Matt, Thanks for your email re: sending a link to a newsgroup. I am using Tinypic,com and your instructions helped a lot. But, I still need help. When I get to the part where you write, "grab the URL under "URL for E-Mail & IM", what do I do here? I am highlighting it, and copying it, but it won't paste the link. When you write, "post it to...

Had this 4-cell Radio Shack flashlight that I used every day. The reflector was brittle plastic and it took only one short drop onto *carpet* to crack the bulb housing. Useless, now. Can anyone recommend a *good* cheap flashlight that's more durable? Something you could buy four or five of to keep in several places throughout the house.
