Yesterday we got a wrecker service to pick up and deliver a patio floor for us. It was 8 foot by 20 feet. However we had to cut it in half to be able to carry it to the wreck truck. So now it is in two peices of 8 by 10. We had to take off the legs for it since we will need a differant size leg and we have the railing that goes around it and steps. How do we get this thing put back together to make a whole? Half of it weighs around 600 pounds! How to lift something to put it up when it is so heavy? Where do we start?
Thank's!

I want to find a way to tell when the unit is costing me too much to run so I better buy a new one and I can justify it.

And what about those long fluorescent bulbs in department stores - with a burned out out bulb, is the electricty that is available being consumed?

My own guess is that a broken filament will simply leave an open circuit through which electricity doesn't travel. But for all I know, the electricity might actually bridge that gap, with no filament to light up in its journey.

My new apartment had floor to ceiling aluminium framed windows. Obviously, at the moment it is a little like living in a "fishbowl"! I would like to hang some verticle blinds from the aluminium frames. How do I fix the blinds to the frames? Do I need to drill the frame and put plugs in? If so, what plugs and screws would you recommend?
Thanks in advance..

One of my friend told we can open the windows after 30 min of putting electrical liquid Mosquito repeller ON.

Let me know which is best practice to use and electrical Liquid Mosquito repeller.

Thinking about buying a house on a very sloping block of land.

Obviously I am not a builder or landscaper, but to my eyes the timber posts in the retaining walls look old, and mis-shapen in parts. The current owner says walls are 8 years old, that you'd expect the walls to last 20 years.

Any comments? Anything obvious that would give me a clue?

have two male roomates they are amazing they work 11.5 hours a day and are hardly ever home. They always put stuff away but its the little things that are bothering me...like having to tell them when to clean and what to clean and how to clean it....when i confront them about it they say yeah whatever needs to be cleaned we will clean. They dont complain about my annoying puppy and never leave anything a complete mess...they just dont wipe the counter or clean the bathroom properly almost ever! I feel like I am being used...should I say something or just continue to clean myself... ps...i do have a compulssive issue with cleaning.
