Home & Garden - 14 November 2007

I have a Boston Terrier. I am going to the mountains in a lob cabin with her. the people I will stay with do not want her in the house a whole bunch. So , they have a 50 ft. long 8 ft. wide deck. 38 ft is covered. I need to make a portable ( meaning it will fit in the back of a pick up truck laying down) pen that she can not jump out of . the deck is really,really high up, and the rails are far enough apart she could fall through. so, made out of maybe chicken wire and wood, or pvc pipe, i need a idea for a a small, like 4 ft long, 4ft wide, and 3.5 ft tall. thanks.....

Repair or replace? Ive cleaned underneath, always check lint at every old, and replaced the exhaust vent leading to roof and cleanned the pipe. Should I throw in the towel and buy a new one or replace some sort of burner?

Only one color, but not one size,
Stuck at the bottom, yet easily flies,
Present in sun, but not in rain,
Doing no harm, and feeling no pain.

We are hanging a door on a bathroom and my husband wants the door to open out because the room is small, but I think the door to a bathroom should open into the room.

I'm redoing my bedroom floor (I live in a Mobile Home)

Floating Floors were suggested.. >_>..
I have no idea what they are?
I have a few questions;

Are they safe/Durable
Do they move around when you walk? (Excuse my ignorance)
What types of floating floors are there?
How expensive will it be? (My room is 10x11 ft with a 8x3 ft closet)
Will they withstand heavy furniture? (Beds/Dressers/Desks)

And by the name floating, I get the impression that they are just sitting on the floor? (Ignorance, I know) Will you see the cracks, to the bottom of the floors by the wall.. ?

Haha.
I just need an explanation. [:

Thanks <3

I just moved this past summer into my first home and it has a conventional masonry fireplace. I've never had a fireplace before, so I am not too experienced, although I'm learning quickly. I was told that it was still functional by the previous home owner, and I had a chimney sweep come in to clean it in preparation for the cold months ahead. I've been using it for about a month now, but I find that the wood doesn't catch very well, it makes the house smell like smoke and barely gives off any heat. On top of that, it was pretty cold last week and I tried starting a fire, with the damper open of course, but it ended up filling the room with smoke until it warmed up. Very frustrating. The more I read about it, the more I hear about having an advanced combustion insert installed if I want to get the most out of the fireplace. But of course, they aren't cheap, so I'm wondering, should I bother with the fireplace altogether this season or just leave it be until I can afford the insert?

I just had my basement refinished. We had the contractor put new drywall over existing plaster walls. I had him put holes in the wall for the wires and I want the speakers exactly across from each other. They weigh about 6 lbs. each. Can I just put the screws through the drywall and plaster without locating a stud for hanging?
