I'm renting a duplex, and need to install an invisible fence for my dog, who is a dachshund/Jack Russell cross. Has anyone had experience doing this, and if so, how hard and what kind of tools are need to put in the fence? Thanks in advance!

Can you replace laminate with a different color laminate, using the same counter/wood? I have off white laminate right now and I want to change it to black. Do I have to replace the whole countertops or can I peel off the existing one I have right now and replace it with black? Or can I put the black one right over it? Please help

Hi all,
First, background. My family does a lot of outdoor decorating for haloween and christmas, a lot. We are trying to determine if it would be more financially responsible to buy a generator to run these lights then normal electricity. We run them for about 4-5 hours a night.

Also, what are the basics for actually buying a generator. Any recommended name brands? Certain specs i should pay special attention to? Any help would be appreciated.

Near the front door, my neice plugged the vacumn cleaner to vacumn one of our cars. The other end of the house my sister was blow drying her hair, in her bathroom which is off her bedrooms suddenly in several areas of the house, the lights went out. I ran back to the Electrical Panel , one of the breakers tripped. I turned it back on ,then off and on. Even though it did not trip the circuit, a second time, We still have no lights in major areas of the home. Does any one out there have knowledge as to how we may get our lights back on, without calling an electrician. We are hoping it is something simple . We are trying to find all ways to take care of this situation before paying someone to come out. Please professional, and or experience with this type of thing ,would be greatly appreciated.

The silver coating is oil based and I do have the fiberglass tape for the seams but I don't know what the best sealant is to use on the seams around the swamp cooler, edges of the roof, cross seams and vents.
What is the brand name and/or description of the sealant?

I live in a rural country area on the 3rd floor where there is a flat black-top roof 20’x10’. I have cats who like to hang out on this roof, mostly at night when it is cooler. One of my cats is quite the hunter and has managed to catch and kill at least seven bats this summer. This fact, albeit impressive, concerns me due to the loss of bats, which are extremely good to have around. I am looking for help in detouring the bats from the area around my roof and don’t know if there is a sound or barrier I can create. Other than keeping the cats in, which is not an option.
