Home & Garden - 6 December 2007

Ok so I bought a new flapper. A red Korky and it's still running every so often, just enough to be very annoying. There is enough slack in the chain and I have no clue why it's still running...any insight would be great, thanks!

I need to get the wood im purchasing level and smooth so I can glue pieces up next to eachother, and so things come out flush. I dont have the money right now for the big boy planer or joiner, but was deciding on the following.

Should I spend the $150 to $200 to get a hand held powered planer, for example the Dewalt DW680K,

-or-

should I get a very nice hand held manual planer and try to become proficient with that.

What do you think? What has your experience been with powered vs. handheld manual. Could you achieve the same results?

Thanks

Australian laundry products are totally not as good as british stuff but whats ur favourite combination of them and can you still smell the powder through the conditioner

my favourite is Omo with cuddly rainforest or summer fresh. the powder and cuddly smell similar so it makes it even stronger.

my friend uses radiant with fluffy lavender and it smells amazing. whats ur fav combination???

I have a Dewalt DW718 compound sliding miter saw. There is a dust collection vent with an adapter piece at the end to tie into a vaccum system. When I hook my shop-vac up, its gets some of the saw dust, but quite a bit hits the throat of the saw, causing it to spring forward and sideways all over the place.

I noticed that there is a bolt holding the dust collection tube in place. Does shifting the tube into the right position make a difference?

Thanks-

I can't loosen a bolt. I want to try applying to heat the bolt to see if it will loosen up. However, I don't have a heat gun or torch. Can i make something at home that will work?

I have come across very few that are completely free. They might try to dress it up as free, then somewhere there is a "Buy Plan $9.99" button of some legal mumbo jumbo about copyright this or copyright that.

The burners on the stove works - but the oven does not. The heating element lights up but the oven does not heat up. I cannot smell any gas getting into the oven. How can this be fixed?

A switched outlet (only one of 2 switched) stopped working, so I took it apart to see if there is a wire loose.

The recepticle has places for 5 wires (2 black, 2 white, 1 grnd) Should all of these wires be connected to the recepticle? I ask this because the diagrams I see online have only 3 wires shown...and i have 4.
