I've found replacement panels but they need to be cut. How can I cut them. I tried a Dremel tool with cutting blade but it broke the panel.

any way to adjust belt tension? first belt lasted up to warranty expiration, put a new belt on lasted a week, another never worked at all, belts seem fine, bearings tight etc but the belt just spins on the driven pulley, which has no grooves for the serpentine...there is no tensioner and appears to be no adjustment, also no luck getting ahold of a service rep, so i have a $800 machine thats sat for 2 years. short of throwing it out, any suggestions?

I just love my feather pillow, but there are times when it seems like I am sleeping on a porcupine...does anyone know of a solution that will keep the tips from poking out of the pillow, but still maintain the "scrunchy-ness" of my pillow?

a dirty brownish water comes out and stains my clothes. I need to know how to get rid of that rusty looking water that somehow comes out dirty because the water that I put in is clean but I guess the iron is dirty from the inside.

My shower has been leaking through the taps and I think the water has run into the wall itself as the paint is peeling on the other side of the wall where the shower is. Can anyone help? Is this urgent?

So I want to make it look nice with paint. I am not going to replace anything. I might paint the cabinets white, add some shelves in. What do you suggest? The counter tops only have a hint of pink, they are actually sort of dark. Oh yes, the reason why I am considering pink is I have stainless steel accessories in there!

In general, would it be more advantageous to buy a cheap "fixer-upper" house and completely remodel it as a custom type house, or to buy land and start your own custom home from scratch? Pros and cons of both options?

I have a bunch of boxes in trusses over my garage. The ceiling has open 2X4 trusses set on 24" centers. I would like to put down a simple flooring in the main open area and a pull down ladder. This would be used just for light storage such as Christmas decorations. The garage is a 2 Car garage. Is this safe for light storage? Do I need to re-enforce the trusses under where I'm adding the storage area?

I have a tan/camel colored couch I purchased two years ago when I was living in a small one bedroom apartment. I've recently purchased a house and want to get a loveseat to help fill the living room and am wondering what my options are as far as color goes. Do I have to get something that comes close to the tan/camel color, or can I branch out and get whatever I want since my couch is kind of neutral? Any suggestions on what colors might look good with it?

Are is making funny noises and dying. The hood is labeled with the brand Nautilus. But I'm not sure how to tell what the model is. This range is over 10 years old, so not sure what the match it up with a replacement model.

It looks fairly straightforward to replace, but any tips in that area would be great!
