How Heavy Is a Square Meter Of Natural Stone?

2007-07-15 07:28:47 · 3 answers · asked by Swansea Girl 2 in Do It Yourself (DIY)

I moved into a new apartment and the realized that the gas control valve behind the stove was shut off (the knob was perpendicular to the pipe). I turned it on by turning the knob a full 90 degrees so that it is now parallel to the pipe and I can hear the gas flowing. I was able to start the pilot lights on the stove. I dont know if we are supposed to turn it on fully or if it is better to partially turn it on (probably by turning the knob 45 degrees?)

As well...I was able to turn the stove pilot light on but was not able to get the oven to work. I like to know if there are separate pilot lights for the oven.

I am not quite familiar with these problems so please give me your advices and responses. Thank you for reading this and I will greatly appreciate your responses.

Hello everyone. I get two different answers from people and wanted to ask on this forum. I needed to paint the inside of my house and also do the flooring. I thought that it would be better to paint the house first and then do the flooring, but others are telling me that I should do the flooring first because the newly painted walls would get dirty if I did the painting then the flooring. Can people who have experience chime in. Thank you!

...just put new tiles on top of the old and glue then down well, then grout it? I don't want to have to remove all the old tiles like my friend says I have to. I'm thinking there's something I can just put on the tles and it'll be fine. He says it won't stick and the grout will break. I don't believe this, but I don't know.
It's a 50 yr.old house, so doesn;t have to be perfect. Can you advise me? Thanks.

This sounds strange, but it started innocently enough. Many years ago for the sake of my clothes I started useing plastic hangers and gradually got rid of the wire ones. I bought the plastic ones in lots of colors, and over time I had quite a collection. One day it occured to me why not sort the clothes onto hangers the same color to make them easy to find. So now my blue shirts are on blue hangers, etc. This has grown into a bit of an obssesion, if I see hangers in a new color I don't already have I must buy them. (I'm lucky hangers are cheap). Like other people with collections I even have my "rare pieces" - hangers from the 70's in colors like rust & olive that are no longer made. I'm curious if anyone else has an odd or unusual collection?

I bought a townhome in Atlanta GA a couple years back and the developer is now putting the final touches on the subdivision. The problem is that the concrete curbing adjacent to quite a few driveways have cracks and chunks knocked out of them because they were installed prior to the houses being built. The curbing really looks unsightly. The developer (Pulte homes) is having guys come around and just fill some of the cracks with a thin layer of concrete. It was my experience with my own driveway here that this method doesn't work to well. After a few months the concrete cracked and the new filling just popped off the curbing. I don't think that our subdivision should settle for this type of patchwork. I have heard that new concrete doesn't bond to old concrete.......is this true and should we accept this type of repair. Our developer (Pulte Homes) has constantly cut corners and been reluctant to make needed changes in the past, so I can't always trust what they do.

My grandson spilled two bottles of spices, one each of curry and paprika on my light brown carpet. I have NO IDEA how to remove this stain. So far I have only very carefully vacuumed the excess. I know that both of these spices are also dyes. Can anyone help me? There is a horrible red spot in the middle of my living room carpet; it's the first thing you see when entering the room...HELP PLEASE! SVP: No jokes. I can't afford hard wood floors or new carpeting. Dyeing the wall to wall carpet would cost a fortune so that's out as well. This carpet is not old.

I clean up the food storages, but the problem is my mom is deaf ear to my complaining and even my advice. She buys and cooks food, but she makes big food storages too many. Freezer is filled and refrigerator is super-filled. It is getting worse.

Some rocks in our walk way have sunk. If I use this concrete will it stay in place or break up over a period of years?

My plants have become really bushy and big, and I planted them too close to my tomatoes, and I can not get inbetween them. Can I either tie them up to create room or cut them back?
