we have just moved to a new house, and the bathroom shower is currently electric... but its like standing under a feeble dribble.

I want to upgrade the shower in a cost efficient and easy way, to make it tolerable for the year ahead. (next year we will do a full refurb)

which electric shower should i buy...which features should i look out for? eg does a higher KW rating mean more pressure? etc etc

clearly i have no clue!

Thanks!

Has anyone used or heard of using glu-lams, such as Versa-Lam or Micro-Lam Beams for an exterior deck Ledger & Band Board instead of the normal treated lumber?

It will be covered with home wrap & sided.

Also, what about using engineered joists as the floor joists?

Any problem with moisture or decay concerns due to the exterior use?

I recently stripped the paint of of my old cabinets and am now in the process of sanding them before staining them. I am using 50 grit, 150, and 220 for the finish. How do I know when the wood has been sanded enough to finish and stain?

wood is very hard, takes the stain well, but stain is not stable - will rub off with slightest moisture

I recently bought a 4-drawer chest from Target - the kind that you can assemble yourself with simple tools. The problem is that the chest sways from side to side (like the Leaning Tower of Pisa, only this is both ways!!). Can somebody advise on how I can correct this? I assembled it exactly according to the instruction booklet.

I have a Ryobi 12 inch chop saw with compound angle settings. I want to know the angles to set the saw at for corner cuts on crown moulding with a standard angle of 42 degrees. I have heard there are charts for the compound settings based on the angle of the moulding.
