We hear some scratching noises in our attic, and we assume its rats. Is is advisable to use fox/bobcat urine to get them to leave?

Does the price for their homes include everything or just to put the house in the dry? The price on their web page is extremely low and they do mention that it is a "starting from" price. I was wondering if anyone has purchased a home from them and could tell me a little more about it.

The ceiling fan and light are controlled by two switches on the wall. In the same room, when I plug my tester into the outlet with the fan/light off, it shows no power at the outlet. If I turn the light on, the outlet says reversed hot/neutral, then when I turn the fan on, it says reversed hot/ground. Anyone know what is wrong? I'm guessing the switch used to control just the outlet like all the other bedrooms, and someone converted it to control the fan, and wired it wrong.

Hi

I have built an 8 foot tall room in a really high (30ft) warehouse and now it needs a ceiling. I would like to do something as quick and cheap as possible for now so that the room keeps in some warmth and is sheltered from dust and a bit soundproofed. I'll do it "properly" at a later date, just need to crack on with working in the room.

So best suggestions? room is 11x11 feet approx. 3 walls are 3 inch cavity walls made with 3x2 studs and chipboard, 4th wall is plasterboard / brick with large window.

And for the sake of argument, how would I (at a later date) make it more solid and permanent, and possibly load bearing so that you can walk on top?

Thank you! Happy new year!

The good fruit splits open, but the majority of it has deformed seeds that look rotten. It also has large insects that live inside some of the fruits. How can I get rid of these bugs, and what can I do to have more good fruit?

Dear All,

we have a tremendous ant problem in our house. Have you encountered any effective solutions (either pest control products or services) that decisively reduced the infestation? The situation is so severe that I can see ants crawling on everything...( at least 5 on each table) and sometimes I would find ants crawling on my skill and my neck without realizing...help...

I live in an apartment complex with alot of tree's and it seems like the clearest shot towards the sky is if i mount my dish on a pole to were the dish is almost at ground level.

by the way, its a Dish500 and i'm assuming I can just get a pole from lowes or home depot to mount it on. Granted I also have a SuperDish but the tripod I bought for it, was too small and tipped over if you blew on it due to the dish's weight, I wonder if they would get mad if i put both of these dishes on the ground side by side. lol.

It's on a vintage television. It's not the picture tube but a transparent gray protective piece of plastic. I know with broken windshields they buff in tiny particles of glass to make the crack disappear. Do you know what I could use on plastic and remember pastic melts when heated

I am a custom woodworker. I am soon going to be looking for a new table saw when I am finished with building my workshop. Price and portability are not important as the saw is a long-time investment and will never get moved once set up. More important is durability, large solid sturdy table, and power to be able to cut through 8 and 12/4 white oak, mahogany, rosewood and other dense hard woods. A good biesemeyer style fence, or other accurate type is necessary. Anybody have any experience with these types of saws? What would you recommend? At my buddy's shop I use an old delta unisaw, I believe ten inch, with 2 1/2 hp I think. It has a nice big, heavy cast iron table with a para-lok fence. It is wonderful, only problem is it is my buddy's and he's not selling either of the two he has. Any suggestions?

I have a Michelia figo in pot for a year. It is fine and has a lot of flower until this spring after the flower is finished. All leaves are dropped. Then new leaves are starting, but new leaves are soon changed to brown and fallen off as well before they are mature and turn to dark green.

Could you guy help me to save this poor plant?
