I want to use clay to make roof tiles. I need to make a tool that allows me to quickly create all the tiles the exact same shape. Any suggestions?

PS If youve ever seen roof tiles, they are curvy.

Ad in the local paper for firewood and it says "Apple, cherry, fir, pine. Bone dry. No stacking required"? Does stacking mean maybe that it's already seasoned long enough so you don't need to stack it to dry it out further???

My husband and I are pretty new to the whole DIY and are not to sure how to go about this. I have read that if the vinyl is not cushioned you need to use adhesive. What am I looking for and what is it called? Also the MDF we want to lay on is our 'floor'. We have an 85+ year old house with some dodgy floors, all a bit slopey in the 70's addition of the house. As it is impossible to get willing tradies where we live we put joists on top of our wonky floorboards and installed a new floor of 15mm MDF. Please tell me we can put adhesive on this. All answers greatly appreciated as we are in the throes of it as I type.

I have a bathroom where 3 things are connected to one main drain underground, a sink, a toilet and a bath/shower. I noticed the toilet water was moving in the toilet yesterday, and today the toilet is draining very slow & when I had the shower on the toilet was bubbling. This also happened when I was trying to drain the sink water. The shower didn't drain too well this morning, so I put liquid plumber in and it seemed to help, but the toilet still didn't drain too well. It's still doing it. I put water in the tub again and it drained slow as well as the toilet, I plunged it a couple times and water started coming into the tub, I stopped up the tub and the toilet drained, again, slow, but faster then it had been. I opened up the drain for the shower and it went out fine, but still the toilet is draining very slow. The toilet is also draining completely, the water doesn't stop where it usually does, but rather most if not all the water drains out of the toilet. Any ideas? Thanks

I was told by a plasterer that you cant plaster over a hardboard panel I have above a door. It's to shallow to put plasterboard on, so what can be applied to the hardboard to allow plaster to be applied

okay I already know how to make longboard gloves and I know how to do better tricks with it I decided it is time to make kneepads i figured it is harder to make the pads because they supposed to be curved like a bowl but cutting boards are flat and I want to know how to make and use it instead of paying $20-$70 on the good ones

A vacuum cleaner is supposed to do just that: clean! And that’s what my old vacuum wasn’t doing. And it was so
heavy! Recently I read about Dyson Vacuum Cleaner in a site (http://www.dysonvaccumcleanerreview.com ). Is it
really lighter than the one which are there in the market. Doesn’t it have a bag to dispose like in other
conventional models?

I would like to have an alarm system installed in my house using an independent contractor so I can buy a better system for cheap and then negotiate my monitoring contract with a company. My electrician says he doesn't do it. Is this unheard of in the industry? What kind of contractor would do this kind of installation?

Hi,

I live in NYC and it's currently Nov., yet I still see a mosquito in my apt. every now and then. I don't have any standing water nor am I near a storm drain, and the gutter is nowhere near me. What else can I do? I'm currently hanging garlic next to my bed. Thanks so much for the help.

Best,

tilling under in the ground in the spring? To break up clay soil and hopefully improve it? Or on top of grass and mowed over as a sort of mulch/fertilizer? I have been finding a lot of it thrown away in dumpsters and "rescuing it"...I don't know if it is expensive to buy, but free is the cheapest of all...guess I am becoming a hoarder...hard to quit dumpster diving when you find usable stuff...and lots of pumpkins for the seeds...also addicted to craigslist "free " stuff and curb alerts...LOL..Help! I can't stop!!

I have a 1977 mobile home in a park. When I went to vacuum out the dust of ducts before turning on heat, I discovered 2 inches water in bathroom duct. I checked and bedroom has some and living room as well,,but the kitchen duct is just moist, no actual standing water. I figure I could shop vac out, but where on earth could it come from? My bathroom had tub replaced 2 years ago, and then last august toilet had to be replaced along with floor due to water damage from toilet leaking. Could it be toilet leaking gets into that duct that runs along bottom of mobile? I have no money to have repair man come out again, any ideas?

My electric heater smells very bad; like someone spilled marijuana or chemicals in it. In the summer it does not produce these fumes when I use the ac but the heater causes whatever is in there to burn and my smoke alarm goes off. I complained about last year but all they did was clean out this filter. This year they will not replace the unit and so I am forced to use space heaters again. I had two space heaters but my small one now smokes therefore setting off the smoke alarm. I have one heater to heat to seperate areas. My studio is about 450 sq feet with about 150 sq feet for the bedroom area. My bedroom is very long and narrow. How Can I safely heat the bedroom will I sleep. I live in a basement apartment which helps hold in some heat but I wake up to being 63 degrees when it is 30 degrees outside. What does anyone suggest? I have to bear through this winter again and once my lease is up I am moving!
