They are made out of fiberglass and are secured so tightly, I can't figure out how to remove them without destroying my drywall. The tub has a hole and needs replaced asap, but the surround is in good shape. The only problem is that they are customized to fit each other! Suggestions???!!!???

we share a driveway with our neighbours. they have built a brick shed and have placed it as far toward boundary line as they can. i need to know how far from the back wall of the house is the minimum space needed to allow me to install a garage and safely allow me to get my car in it. at the moment i have about enough room to get an old type mini in between the gap with its wing mirrors folded in. is my neighbour breaking the law? hope you can help me;)

Can't find any sensible answers to help me decide whether to fit low voltage halogen downlights or mains voltage downlights. I know that mains voltage fittings are cheaper but the bulbs don't last as long.
Is there a difference in light quality?
Does having a transformer per light make any difference (like a background hum if you have 10 lights each with their own transformer)?
Anything else I need to consider?

How do you fix the edging on a non stick, non nail laminate floor? (A floating floor) Do you fix it over the cork expansion strips and what do you use to hold it in place?

I'm putting in laminate wood flooring throughout my house. I have to remove the carpet, but do I need to remove the vinyl tile underneath? I've heard that asbestos can be released when removing old vinyl tile. Any advice would be appreciated.

I can cut part of a hole in the rail but it will leave a thin strip at the top for attaching the vanity; there isn't enough width to drill a hole big enough for the turn offs.

I bought it on sale, guess why, and can't return it. It never occurred to me that the rail wouldn't be at a regulation height.

I can't move the rail because it supports the drawers too.

I could cleat it to the wall but it would push the vanity out of plumb from the wall. There may be room for a cleat on the inside of the wall (via a plumber's access) but it would have to go between the hot and cold pipes and the wall?

I could raise the vanity off the floor to clear the turn offs at the back but it would leave a big space underneath and look weird. And, no, I don't like the idea of putting it on glass blocks either--a creative idea but it looks like you've made a mistake. Any ideas out there?

Also, I want to put a pre-cut granite top on it, if it's that cheaply made would it support such weight

My girlfriend says the lighting in our bathroom sucks, and I tend to agree. We are in a rental, so doing any kind of electrical work is out of the question. Is there some type of good bathroom lighting that comes with a cord to just plug it in? Perhaps a 3 bulb track lighting type thing? I'm electrically challenged, so any help would be gratefully appreciated.

They are in a enclosed plastic circular holder with a small plastic crank on the side to wind up the tape. Theres a small metal "U" at the end to attach it to protruding objects. They are great as a tool for camera assistants to take measurements with. The 99 Cents Store used to carry two of them in a package for 0.99, but they don't carry them anymore. Thanks for any help, much appreciated.

Im in the process of adding a new electrical outlet and was wondering is there any nice and easy tricks to run the wire behind the wall through the studs. From past experience I would use a long flex drill bit and drill through the middle of the stud and fish the wire through. Another way I did it was cut out the drywall and notch the stud, place wire then use a nail plate then repatch and paint. Is there any other options or are these two my best bet.
