I think it would be interesting to build my own house, alone mostly. I have poor credit and a job that doesn't pay too well. I have access to tools, and I think if I put a few hundred a month to building materials it can be done. If anyone has advice for or against, I would appreciate it. I just think that it would be a great way to get in shape, learn responsibility, etc.

I purchased a Makita 2414NBX Cut-Off saw on Amazon. It was a great deal (somehow I ended up getting the saw almost free), and I don't do a lot of metal cutting.
Anyway, DeWalt has a similar saw called the "DeWalt DW872 14" Multi-Cutter Saw" that comes with a carbide blade. The specs for the saws are almost identical EXCEPT the no-load speed for the DeWalt is 1,300RPM and the Makita is 3,800RPM.
I would love to get a carbide blade to use with the Makita saw like the one on the DeWalt saw (Model DW7747 $99 shipped on Amazon).
This blade comes with "One year warranty, One year service contract, 30 day no-risk trial" so I thought I might try it but the blade is made "for the DW872" and the substantial difference in the no load speed has me a little concerned.
Do you think the DeWalt blade will work on my Makita saw? Is there another carbide blade I could use?
Thanks SO much for any help.
Ken

Cork, 2-in-1 or something else? What are the advantages/disadvantages of each? Also, are these types of floors okay for installation in a kitchen?

I recently just painted my room...only one wall though. That one wall has like a checkerboard pattern, kind of like tic-tac-toe and it actually looks cool. Each square switches off from dark to baby blue. So, once again, that's only one wall and although it looks good, I don't want to feel trapped by checkerboard by painting all the walls the same. What should I do to the other 3?

I'm trying to weld some small items (Stainless Steel), They are all made out of stainless steel. before I throw them away I want to see if it's possible that I can weld it my self, I don't think it's that hard. So, if anyone can help me decide what machine I can buy, and tell me things like Voltage, amps, and what else I need to do it myself.
Thank You...

can i use silicone caulk to attach tile to walls that wont be wet, instead of thinset? how about something like liquid nails? seems to me it would work as it won't be walked on or get wet. and then grout as usual.

i'm currently painting my living room right now. i read on many home improvement websites that to paint double-hung windows you are supposed to first move the outter or top half of the window down and the bottom or inside half up. the trouble is that these windows are old and the top sash (half) of the window won't move down. the bottom one moves up and down fine however. can anyone tell me how i can unstick the top half of the window so i can move it down?? thanks!!

I took some wainscotting off of the wall and rather than scrape away the adhesive (there is a lot!), I'd like to put a 1/4 inch sheet of drywall over it. I would like to do the work myself, but I've never done it before. Could someone please tell me what materials I will need for this task, and the best way to go about it? Thanks.
