I can fix most things, but when I ask a man to put a nail in something, and he looks as me and says he can't fix it...I think" pathetic".

Has anybody used any of the Kreg line of Pocket Hole Joinery products? It seems like a really good product for somebody who doesn't have a lot of woodworking experience or tools. I just don't know of anybody who has Kreg Tools or used them. Do people like them? Are they really that simple and easy to use?

We have a septic tank and use RIDX monthly in the toilets, but is it safe to use in the bathtub drains to remove hair?

Building a wall inside a garage. Need to have access from the new room to the garage but don't want to take the swing space by installing an inswinging door into the room. Can a prehung inswinging metal door be installed on the other side of the wall, so it will swing out into the garage? 2X6 wall construction. What about lock mechanisms, are they reversible as well?

I'm trying to get a handheld vacuum and was wonder if anyone know of a good one? The last one I had was such a disappointment since the power were so weak. Now I want one that is powerful and i guess would be good if it's save energy -.-' since everything now is about "saving energy" anyway. Thanks in advance !

My sister just bought a house. It's a great house but it has 2 bedrooms and its 3 people. Her and her 2 kids. Now the kids room is rather large..so it can actually be made into 3 bedrooms. But instead doing a bunch of construction on the house right now.. we'd like to know where can we find some sort of large partition or divider that will separate the room into 2.

Just bought a three bed detached house with 3 bathrooms after selling my 1 bed house, and i plan to do everything including all the bathrooms, kitchen apart from fitting the cooker, so i will be on here loads of times,i just have a couple of questions.

1) Squeeky floorboards up stairs, there sheets not planks, i thought what i will do is every piece i step on i will rescrew down, will this do it or is it the joist's,

2) I want oak flooring all downstairs, but i heard that if i want real wood i have to replace the old floorboards with the new real wood flooring, which i dont really want to do, I dont want laminated so the other option is engineered wood flooring but can i put this down straight onto the original floorboards
