Do It Yourself (DIY) - October 2006

I make crafts at home, and already tried the saltdough, but it's too soft because of the hot weather over here. I would like to find a better one so I can make people figures and animals, etc. I don't want to buy any clay because I air dry them and these clays you have to put them in an oven. Thanks for the help you may give me.

I want to find out if there is a lien on a house before I take over the payments? I want to learn how to do it myself because the real estate people want me to pay for the information. If you can tell me the steps I can do it. Thank You.

I bought some NFL, flannel (on one side) fabric for a Christmas present for my husband. Now I don't know what to make with it. I was leaning toward a quilt, with added fabric..... or maybe even pajama pants. Anybody have any suggestion? Thanks!!!

The front door leads into the dining room and ahead is a door into the kitchen. I like open plan and would like to knock the wall down, seems to be plasterboard. My partner says that the kitchen will look visibly messy and the smell of cooking will linger around. I am not sure if I would loose by money with the removal of the partition. I was also think about a small hole in the wall and covering it with a sliding cover. Any help appreciated....

i made pants out of this vinyl that looks like pleather and when i tried to dye it black with rit dye it just went burgundy (it was red when to begin with) i looked all around and found a bunch of options but none of them said whether the dye would chip or rub off which i know can happen especialy if its painted on. does anyone know of a way to dye vinyl black and have it stay black through lots of walking and the friction that comes with it. at least for one night.

I am adding a pool heater that requires 11/4" to feed the unit. I do have 11/4 in my basement, but am not sure how to cut the pipe and add a "T" to it. Do I have to dissasemble everything? If I cut the pipe, I will not have the threads to screww on to.
Thanks

I just moved into a new neighborhood, and they're everywhere! Animal control told me, "if you trap them, we'll get rid of the them.", but I don't have the time or ambition to do that. What's the easiest way to kill them? Does rat poison work?

It was fitted about 2 months ago in the kitchen. I've been very careful with it & ensured it hasn't got wet. To clean it I use a very slightly damp cloth & dry it off. Each floorboard is beginning to 'curl' - help!
