I have a newer Brother sewing machine and have been trying for over a month to get the bobbin to go in right. This is hard to explain without pictures but i'll try.....The bobbin itself has a circular front & a curved half circle back which seems like it's suppose to just fit right into the machine, but i can not get it to stay in the position it needs to be in, in order to replace the other part which fits over the entire area that holds the bobbin in place. I can get the bobbin in but once i let go of it to replace the other part, the bobbin falls out of place; it has to be in ~just right~ or the part that fits over wont go on right. I am new to sewing but I HAVE used a sewing machine before & did not have this problem with that machine; Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I even had other people try & they had the same problem, but I know the bobbin will go in somehow because it was working fine until it ran out of thread. (I dont have the owners manual)

My husband and I need to wash all the walls of our new home (the previous owners were heavy smokers), tape all the wood trim, and repaint six rooms, two of which are currently very, very dark colors. Then we are recarpeting the living room, hallway, and master bedroom.

To all you handypeople out there, how long will this realistically take?

My husband thinks we can get it done in a weekend and three weeknights. I think it'll be closer to two full weeks. Neither of us come home from work until 6 p.m. during the week, and we've never done this type of thing before.

I'm trying to get a gas fireplace put in to my condo, but it requires a working fireplace. I have a chimney but I'm pretty sure it's closed. How do I find out without shoving something up there?
