go along the top bottom and sides
along the bottom shining up
along the top shining down
or top middle and bottom...???

I am installing rain chains and would like to cut a smaller hole than standard. The bit I was using on my drill kept binding and skipping.

I want to throw away a very big refrigerator, unfortunately it doesn't pass through the stairs and it will be too expensive to pass it through the window
Don't ask me how it arrived in my home, it was here when I came in the house few monthes ago.

Hired remodeler to rebuild a stand-up shower. Now it won't drain. When I run a power snake, it comes up with grey (wet) powder on it. I suspect thinset, grout, or (doubtful) concrete. Remodeler now in jail (yikes!), so he's no help.

How do you get through this without busting out the slab? What about muriatic acid or other agent?

I have a Thorn gas boiler (approx 20 years old) and I dont seem to be able to get the water hot enough. I can only get hot water when the central heating is off and its switched to water only. When the heating's on the water is luke warm. I have checked the pump and its shown on setting two (out of 3), the thermostat is set on 4 (out of 5), can any one tell me how to get them both working together. I have had the boiler serviced in the last year and the guy couldnt explain this phenomenon. I have very poor hot water pressure in the kitchen only if that makes a difference and all the radiators are heating up fine. Please help I am sick of having tepid baths!!!

thankyou in advance

Hi

The oven door of my Britannia cooker is faulty - the hinges have unhinged and I can't get it back again.
Britannia cannot advise how to repair and wonder if there is a good website anyone can recommend that shows how to repair ovens?
Thanks
Steve

I have been checking all the exit signs in the building in which I am I charge of. I push the test switch and the light goes dim, they all work, but the light is very dim. Are these things like emergency ballasts and have a battery that can eventually go bad?

I don't know what I was thinking, but I used Elmer's Glue to plug up some holes in our window screen that a cat had made. It dripped. It dried. It looks awful.

Now how do I dissolve it so that I can repair it properly? I really don't want to replace the entire screen!

It is growing up through our lawn and in other parts of the garden. I have managed to dig some of the roots out but each year more and more seem to spring up.

I have a T-Shirt that has numerous signatures on the front AND back of it. It's an expensive collectors item. I want to display it in a shadow box, but I can only find shadow boxes with a glass front, not a glass front and back. My plan is to put a hook in the middle top portion of the box and hang the t shirt on hanger from that hook. I will mount the box to an entrance of a door way in a business (very large doorway openings and high head room) Can anyone suggest how I would make this or tell me where I can buy something like this?
