Anyone have a Craftsman quiet glide toolbox? Do the drawers slide nice? Is ball bearing a lot better? I want to get my boyfriend a nice craftsman tool box for christmas. Is there any other brands that are good? Looking for a rolling toolbox under $500.

I tried 3 different new shower heads made by Moen and 1 by Delta (which was taken down from one of the upper level showers to test). None better than other interms of water pressure. This shower is in lower level, about 15 ft from the water heater. Upper level shower heads gives ample pressure. I checked the pipes (1/2") no evidence of clogg. Found a built in filter those shower head does it causes the problem?

With natural gas prices rocketing sky high - what are you doing to keep your heating bills at a minimal? Any unique ideas to heat up your place without giving up your arm this coming winter?

Currently we have an air-forced duct system in place. I really hate it, the heat does not distribute evenly throughout the house and despite of having a so-called humidifier installed
into the system, we still have excessive dry air.

I really liked those old water based - radiator heaters, it minimized static and really kept homes warm -- whatever happen to those?

Anyway, give me ideas on how to maintain a nice warm house this winter, I do not want to make this a major project -- keep it nice and simple.

I also have two non-working fireplaces in this old house, I don't have the slightest idea how to use / maintain one. Currently there are sealed off, and if I get it going ... will it even be safe? will it be worth it ? Please share your ideas with me -- I am desperate! ~thanks

I get paranoid about these things. Even though I bought can lights to put up, is it safe to put insulation right up next to it even though it is rated that it can be?

We live in an old house, a 150 y/o funeral home (no wise cracks). At night/in the morning while we're in our room downstairs (we only use the downstairs, yet there are two beadrooms upstairs) we hear something about the size of a squril scratching on the walls and running around, north south east and west (it's not just running between the cealing & floor). what would be the best way to catch this little critter or at least find out what it is? I don't see any holes where it can enter/exit. Neither do I see any droppings or scratch marks. There's only one way up & down and that's through a tight closed door. There is no food source up there.

So shoot me some pointers as to how to find out or catch whatever this is (inexpensively).

My wife and I are wanting to remodel our bathroom. We want to have a huge walk in shower but, this would force us to scrap the tub. We have a 2nd full bath with tub. Would this lower the value of the home to not have a tub in the master bath?

It's REALLY bad. How can I fix it myself? I used the plunger and it didn't work. The water didn't go down at all.

Everytime I sit on the cushion, the corner falls underneath the spring. I tried using duct tape, but it didn't work is there any other way to fix it?

I had someone spill fruit punch on my brand new tan pants. What do you think I should do to get it out, or is it a lost cause?

It almost looks like mold spores or a cobweb. I do not see any insects and the plant is not showing any signs of a parasite infestation. This is an indoor plant.

Don't you know some people need it for medical reasons? Plus it's legal to grow in many places this forum serves. RScott
