Total dummy question. I just bought a house last year and moved in during winter so the sprinkler must have been turned off. now that it's almost summer i'd like to turn the sprinkler back on. i saw a programmer in the garage and turned that on, but where's the faucet? where would it usually be?

thanks

I know how to do it but its a piece of 3" of ABS-1 pipe and if I cut it off the clean out adapter will fit flush on the piece I cut off and I would want it to actually fit over the pipe instead of flush in order for the cement to hold it in place. How would I do this? The city did a very poor job of putting these sewer lines in they are very ugly in our yards and ABS are pipes that are used in mobile homes not houses.

I was just thinking about how plastic bags are being fazed out.

Through out the world millions of bags must be used for garbage.

What are we going to replace them with?

ndler's lift!!!
We recently bought a new sofa and she wants me to struggle up the stair case to our flat. She says taking it up the Schindler's Lift would be too painful and may block access for the rest of the residents!!!!!!
Funny thing is, I'd have to go up the back passage to get to the stairs anyway.

Should I just give in and do it the way she wants me to?

I need songs that will keep me motivated through a whole day of cleaning! What songs do you listen to when you clean? Make me a playlist!

I need some help. I applied lacquer to the table, waited till it dried and applied another coat. I applied 4 coats without sanding because the can said I didn't have to sand. I looked at the table and now there are little bubbles that appeared and now it has to be redone, again.The bubbles didn't appear until it was drying. I apply the lacquer with a brush and in the shade.Why am I getting the bubbles? Is there something better to use besides the lacquer? This is the second time I have to strip it and start over.
