I am looking to buy a GOOD power mitre saw. I am confused by all of the features like "dual bevel", "compound", etc. I know what the sliding feature is, but just need a better understanding as to what the features mean.
Thanks!
Ken

Over the past couple years, I've got my parents squirrel proof bird feeders.

One birdfeeder, the one built for the small birds to fly into the steel grate, the squirrels are able to reach into the bird feeder and use their claws to flick out bird seed. It's not easy for the squirrel, because they have to hang on while using just one claw to pick at the seeds.

The milk jug theory doesn't seem to work; they just plow past them.

I will also be accepting pictures of your ideas. Send photos to holykrapbatman@inbox.com and include your Yahoo Answers ID, so I can match it up to your post in here.

Best answer with or without photos will get 10 points as the answers will be tried out either this week or next week. I may extend the period of time for further experimentation.

Please help the little birds keep their birdseed, and let's shut down the free trade of seed to the these militant squirrels.

Thanks in advance for your help and expertise.

I have a maytag washer that just stopped. I started it up and it filled with water........then stopped. I emptied the darn thing out and played around with it but nothing. I've checked the fuse boxes 2x now. It's a built in and don't know how to check if the plug fell out or not. I have no noise or lights working at all. Any ideas?

I need to run 240V to my hot tub.
I'd like to take my 240V from my stove (unused) and run it to a small sub-panel in my crawlspace, then have this feed the hot tub and some lighting around it.
The 240V wire running to my stove will be disconnected and will power the new panel.
From that I should have 2 hots and a neutral (although this is the braided alumminum type).
Can I use this to power the panel (providing 2 hots and neutral) while planting a seperate ground stake to run to the new panel for ground?
The Neutral from the stove cable is braided AL. but is totally isolated from the new panel to the old panel neutral bar.

Inside the new panel I'll have a 240v GFI breaker for the hot tub and
a 110V gfi for the lighting.
Is this OK? Im trying to avoid breaking down walls to run anything to my already packed old panel.

I'm in NC, and I was told I need some type of "panic button" near the tub as well - can this just be attached to a junction box near the tub?

It's an 8x8 enclosed area that is surrounded by a 3 foot high wall on two sides, my condo (stucco exterior) and walkway on the others. I looked up online how to do it, but they all involve using sand and concrete as foundations. How dangerous is it if I just level the ground and put down the pavers? Any advice is helpful. Thx.

MY boyfriend is installing a sink, and he says that the exisiting drain that comes from the wall is a metal drain and he needs to attach a PVC drain to the sink itself, How can he do it?
Also, he says that the two parts are offset about an inch horizontally.
Any ideas how to make my sink work? It's been 3 weeks without a bathroom sink!
Thank you
