Do It Yourself (DIY) - July 2006

I have a chain linked fence and want to put privacy screen (like those at public tennis courts) so people driving by can't see inside our yard.

Anyone know where I can buy them for dirt cheap? The fence is around a 5 acre property so I need lots.

I'm tired of running out to buy bags of ice. I put it in the ice container and then my ice maker will start to work and overflow.

It's just a cheap one my daughter uses. Not real wood; sort of a maninate finish. She put lots of stickers on it when she was young. Now she is 15 and wants to make it snazzy. Do I have to remove stickers first? How? What kind of paint to use?

Also, I have heard it referred to as a laminate, even though the material I'm looking at is bamboo through-and-through. What gives?

There are 3 pairs of red & black wires coming out of the wall where a previous light socket was. I have installed lights before, however in this case there are more wires than required. In the previous light fitting the red wires were all contacting each other in one socket, two black wires where in another socket and the third was in its own.

How should I spread the wires across the new fitting, in the crimp? I have three sockets available (one for earth). Should I group the three red wires in one socket and the three blacks in one socket? Or should I put one pair of wires in two sockets i.e one red wire in one socket and one black in the other socket (one earth) and then tape the other wires up, individually, and shove them back into the wall?

Thanks for any advice you may have.

I really hate it, as it dominates the whole room. If I knocked down the bit that is built on to hold the tv, is it likely to be solid with wires in it ,or just solid brick?

I have two outdoor buildings, one used for bins and other for electric & gas meters. I am planning to put the combi boiler in the bin outdoor building. These two adjacent outdoor buildings are still connected to the house via a porch, so all pipes will be covered & indoors. I am not fitting the combi in the kitchen as I do not have much room and also kitchen is at front of house and flue would be over the front door. Whereas the flue in the outdoor building would not.

I somehow think that this very durable item would make sense for the few years I need it. Kids still at age where they're rough on furniture. Could I somehow transfor this into a more asthetically pleasing piece of furniture? I'm thinking I would like 2 for my living room, where kids spend majority of time. I am semi-skilled on sewing machine, have like 2 free days to be able to dedicate to a project, before August 15. Any quality/realistic/feasible ideas among you?
