People say this mixture causes a harmful gas, but it cleans so well and it smells sooo good!!

Hi,
I am installing a electrical panel on my new addition. My question is should I mount it directly onto the plywood? Or should I wait until the addition is stuccoed before I mount it? or is there a better way. I am going to mount it on the outside, instead of between the studs.

Thanks,
pb4sc

i'm remodeling my bathroom and would like to change where the shower head is but it is in an outside corner of the house. the way it is now, the previous owners built an awful wall and ran the pipes up thru that but this makes the bath seem really cramped. we'd like to remove the wall and put in a glass corner shower but it means the pipes would move to the outside wall. would this be up to code? is there a reason not to do this? it doesn't really ever freeze where we are. thanks for the help...

we're buying a house that is on a slab. We heard that slabs have a lot of problems like with plumbing and pipes. What are your opinions about slabs.

My husband washed a pair of pants with a pen in his pocket and didn't know it, now we have ink marks all over the inside of the dryer and i'm afraid it'll come off on other clothes.

i need to move some plumbing to another adjacent wall (and/or repair a leaky pipe) and was wondering if i should use copper pipe or galvanized since that is what's already there. i know how to solder silver, gold, and other soft metals, i've tried mixing metals before with some success but i remember a plumber telling me something about eventual corrosion at the joint when copper is matched to galvanized pipe. any plumbers out there? any good ones in houston?

I live in Kansas City, and our weather has been so mild this year. Trees are budding; grass is growing; and now my blubs (daffodils, crocuses, windflowers, allium, etc) are sprouting. They were even sprouting right before Thanksgiving. I planted according to zone and the directions from the place I bought them, but I'm concerned I'm going to have more green than flower this spring. Any ideas?

I am installing a woodstove using single wall black stove pipe and I am wondering basically how hot the stove pipe will get? ALSO the morter they use to build a fireplace..how long does it take for that to fully cure? And what temps will that withstand?

I have a red microfiber couch and a VERY dark brown leather chair. My coffee table and end tables are back metal with glass tops. My entertainment center is black. The area rug has black and brown in it...pulling those 2 colors together. The red couch has got an orange tint to it? I have seen hunter green, many times, the other color. I am just very bored with the brown and black, but can't afford to change them right now. The couch is from Ashley furniture. They have bright colors- green and yellow- with the red couch. Almost looks like a child's playroom. I want to brighten up the room. OH! and until May, we (my husband and I) are renting. So, I cannot paint. The walls are a beige color (with a yellow tint). I am 21 and he is 24...so we like the modern appeal as well. PLEASE HELP!!!!!! I hate sitting in my LR. Thank you.

I have a large surface to varnish and need to get all the dust off but my small comercial tact rags don't seem to cover much area so I want to make my own. What is a good recipe?

My toilet tank (not bowl, THANK GOD !!) is leaking water - contstant drip drip. Last night I put a bucket underneath, and with in 9 hours, not only the bucket was overflowing, but my bathroom literally had a flood.
Since I am at work right now, I first emptied the tank and turned off the tap so tank does not fill up again. What can I used to seal up the crack?? Eventually we need to replace it.

I carelessly tossed my beloved knitted sweater into the dryer. Now it's a bit too short. Is there any thing I can do to lengthen it again?
