I need one foot of 1/2inch inside diameter tubing. I tried Home Depot Lowes, Sears Hardware, and no luck.

Needs to be silicon because it will be used in a high temperature application. (Approx 200degF of exhaust smoke)

HI,
MY NEIGHBORS WANT TO RUN A WATER LINE ACROSS MY FRONT YARD PROPERTY. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS IS, I HAVE 2 SOUTHERN PINE TREES AND 1 OAK TREE ALL ABOUT 60' TALL. THESE TREES ARE LINED IN A ROW SIDE BY SIDE. THEY WILL BE CUTTING THE ROOTS ABOUT 4'- 6' FROM THE TREE TRUNK. ALSO THE TREES ARE ABOUT 10' TO 15' FROM OUR HOME.
MY QUESTION IS, WILL THE CUTTING OF THESE ROOTS KILL THE TREES? I WOULD LIKE TO HELP BUT SHOULD I TAKE THE RISK?
PLEASE HELP!
COOKIE G.

I went to Target this morning and fell totally in love with a set of sheets with paw prints and a comforter made of courduroy. It was sooo expensive. I would go back and buy it if I know its not cheap.

I noticed they didnt send me screws, so what kind of screw should i purchase from the hardware store. The old ones look like they were a little over 1/2 inch long and required a phillips screwdriver. I bought some calk and a caulk gun for a window pane, so should I caulk around the frame before I stick the storm window up or does it matter. I have no clue what I am doing!

They underestimate my gas bill for 4 and half years and only realise cos I rang up and read them the meter. It then takes them 6 weeks to bill me and they send me a £3300 bill. I then realise they've charged me at current rate of gas so has now been amended to £2300. I've wrote 2 letters about this and been ignored. Then get a letter from their debt people to take me to court so rang them up and they said it was an error. Still had no reply to my letter - in one letter I told them I had contacted a solicitor to try and get them to drop a part of the bill. They read my meter a year ago and noticed the problem and thought they'd read it wrong leaving me another year underestimated. They have been truely appalling., Rang today and the girl said it was bad no one had got back to me & said actually it was law they could only back bill for 2 yrs so its being looked at for the third time. If I'd paid the 1st bill I would have been well conned any ideas on how to proceed with this???

Cavity bwall insulation? It would reduce your heating bills by 30 %. It would save the environment a tonne of carbon dioxide.There would be no mess at all as it is installed from outside. It only takes 2 hours.Your home would be warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.There's a 25 yr. guarantee on all work carried out by certified installers On top of this the government is considering financial penalties for homes without it! and it is totally free because of a government grant!.So why do people refuse to have it done?

We want to paint our kitchen walls (Drywall) but they have been wallpapered previously. We have taken off the wallpaper to find walls with a lot of defects (holes, craters, imperfections). If we just paint it now, every imperfection will show up.

Someone told us to "skim coat" the walls with joint compound so as to make the walls smooth again.

Can anyone tell us how to do this? Will we need one or two coats of joint compound? Can a beginner do this? I can't find a plaster guy to do it since it is a small job.

I just bought a house with a 1962 original Frigidaire dual oven stove. It's 40 inches wide! The stove is in perfect working order too. We're looking to remove the stove and replace it with a gas stove. I'm wondering if it's worth anything or what we should do with it. Afterall, it is considered an antique.
