I need to hang a clock from my vinyl siding and I don't want to put holes in my vinyl siding. What products are out there and where do I buy them that will attach to my siding and not create holes?

I was wondering if anyone makes their own furniture such as couches/sofas or chairs? What kind of wood is used in making the frames for couches and do you have any links to plans for making them? Thanks for any advice :)

I purchased a 24" direct drive exhaust fan with the typical black, white and ground wiring designed to be connected directly into the circuit. I would like to convert this connection to a 3-prong cord so I can plug it into a nearby wall socket. The fan's specs are: 120V / 60 Hz / 336 W / 2.8 Amps. Could I safely accomplish this by attaching a 12 gauge, 3 conductor grounded SPT-3 cord or another gauge cord like an SJT? I plan on using this fan only as needed during the summer months and won't need it permanently connected throughout the year. I know a enough about electricity to possibly get myself into trouble. Having never attempted something like this, I thought I'd ask for some experienced advice here. Thanks for your reply.

I bought this lovely Kenneth Cole white blazer...it is polyester/rayon/lycra blend. I LOVE this jacket, and had bought it last winter to wear this spring but couldn't find it for quite some time. Well when I found it, apparently, someone in my household spilled something that appears to be makeup (foundation) alllllllll over my expensive jacket. There is now a HUGE brown stain on it and it is NOT recent. I think it would take a miracle to get this out. I don't even know where to begin; I LOVE this jacket. I'm almost positive it is makeup (probably oil based..if there is a difference when trying to remove stains?) and not a coffee stain. It's pretty bad. Is there anything I can use to get this out? Help would so very much be appreciated!

It is normally applied directly to the inside of the glass window. The directions state that it should not be applied to plexiglass. Does anyone know why? I have a skylight that lets in too much sunlight and I would like to block some of the sunlight coming in. Will the film adhere to the plexiglass or damage it?

A neighbor told me that squirrels are rodents that carry the bubonic plague (the Black Death) and that they are dirtier and more aggressive than rats. It makes me view them much differently now. I sometimes notice them looking at me from the tree branches like they're sizing me up for an attack. It's kind of scary. I don't want my kids to be bitten by a squirrel carrying the Black plague. What do you think, are we in danger?

I unhooked the latches but I don't know if I twist the canister or if there is another button. My husband used to do this.

i eventually want to do all three of these things. in what order should i do them in order to maximize my return on investment in the event i had to move and sell before i completed all three things? there is currently a fireplace now but it is ugly painted white brick and want to replace it with a floor to 5 foot high mantle with granite worked in and a gas fireplace log set. the whole cost of that job would be 5k. i have read that fireplaces add more value as far as home improvements go than any other improvement.

the current kitchen was from the 1960s and redoing that with granite countertops and new cabinets and tile and a new fridge and oven would probably be 10k-15k for the quality we wanted.

adding a bathroom to the basement would change the house from 1 to 2 baths and would probably cost about 5k for the level of quality we wanted.

how should i order these projects?

Everytime I cook chili or any type of tomato sauce in the microwave, I can't get the stains out and it ruins the containers. I hate to have to throw them away or put anything else in a container that isn't quite clean.

Has anyone ever solved this problem? I would appreciate any secrets or hints.

Lower heat output? Lower electric bills? Too expensive? Compactness?


Do you want to switch over but just can't afford them?
