the whole frame and sprayed WD40 before putting it back together. Would that stop the sqeaking? Granted it's not very expensive but I cant buy a new frame now. Does anyone think this will work or have any other ideas?

We have a cooker which comprises of a main oven, a top oven/grill and four hobs on top. we just turned the oven on to cook dinner and something shorted out all the other electrical appliances in the house except the lights. When we turned the trip switch back on the cooker seemed ok at first but now we discover it won't heat up. It's a fan assisted oven and makes the right noise and the light at the front comes on to say it's heating up but the oven itself just doesn't heat up. The grill and hobs work fine.
Does anyone know what the problem might be and how it can be fixed?
Is it likely to be a blown fuse? Or are we looking at having to buy a new cooker?
Please help if you can. Thank you.

Ok, so I have been talking to this Oak tree (Harold) and he has been complaining about Emanuel (the Maple tree). He's always saying that he makes too much noise when one of Emanuels limbs breaks. Emanuel has a mouth like a trucker and has a short temper so I can never seem to calm him down. What should I do? Cut one of them down? My uncle Remus does own a chainsaw. I like them both in different ways, but im at a loss of words for what to do, help.

Hi,

I am going to attempt to fit a new front door and would like to know if there is anything else i need to be careful of.

I have successfully fitted many internal doors but wasn't sure if there are any fundamental differences between the two?
For instance draft proofing etc will play a part somewhere along the way- would that mean i need to leave more gap around the edges etc?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also if any discription is made on how to do something could you go into as much detail as possible!

Many thanks.

I wash them and dry them really well, but sometimes when they get wet I can smell the mold. Do any of you out there know what I can use to get the smell out?

Please- no suggestions about where to buy one (I am making this about 6' square, it simply has to be custom). Please, no suggestions about knitting a felted square, or making a fabric-covered ribbon board (this is not for a 6 year old girl's bedroom). Please, no suggestions about a decorative wine cork thingy- this is not for kitchen decor. I specifically want to use cork, so please no suggestions about using fuzzboard or steel and magnets, or whatever. I would appreciate some serious answers here from crafty/woodworking people! We do have a decent amount of tools in our home, although nothing large and permanent like a table saw or jigsaw! Thank you!

Hi all, was wondering what is the best heating oil company in the virginia area. I used griffith for the past few years and it seems that their policys keep changing. They initially give you a great rate to sign up with them then get you on automatic delivery and give you a massive bill! Currently doing some research on which company to go with if you all can give your suggestions that would be great.

Just bought a house and the kitchen had new cabinets, counters & appliances installed two years ago. Flooring was replaced too, but it’s some kind of cheap laminate nastiness that wasn’t installed well and needs to be replaced. We’ll have a pro floor installing buddy helping us, but much of the prep will be done ourselves.

Here are the issues

Cabinets were installed right over top of old tile so we need to remove that to install a new backsplash (most is behind cabinets, but some visible to right of ovens and at backsplash level). Any suggestions on how to do this? We’ve discussed taking off countertop, but we would also have to unhook in-counter gas stove.

Secondly, the flooring will be replaced by ceramic tile. We have a lose kick plate that allowed us to see that 1)thankfully, crappy floor isn’t under cabinets, but 2) old linoleum wasn’t take up so it IS under the cabinets. :-( How should we deal with that? We may have to install new sub floor to accommodate the new tile

My daughter asked me yesterday and I wasn't able to answer. Logically, shouldn't it go slower since it has trouble sucking up air?

My washer valve is leaking. It is leaking at the knob that you use to turn the hot water on and off. Where can I find this part to replace it and how do I replace it?

I heard that there was a way to hang a curtain, or there was some type of curtain that you could buy where you use little metal hanging clips and attach them to a pole for them to slide onto (or something like that). But there is no rod being used. Does anyone know what I am talking about or what the name of this type of curtain mechanism is?
