Do It Yourself (DIY) - October 2006

Specifically, I want to create an atomizer to dispense a fine bleach / water mix. I'm trying to bleach stenciled designs into clothing, so it has to be a fine particulate mist (like spray paint) with a low pressure method of dispersal. I was thinking of using an airbrush set, but I'm not sure how well that would work.

Any ideas?

I'm biulding a two storey extension, the current roof has an apex that runs from front to back. The extension roof will run left to right and cut into the existing roof halve way along. The pitch of the existing roof is 30degrees, however I need to do the extension with a 25degree pitch. Does this cause any problems?

basement flat with no extract in bathroom (bathroom is at ground/ entry level, rest of flat with openable windows all one level down, no extract for kitchen downstairs either. There is no external wall to bathroom and no way of neatly routing a proper extract through to outside wall. There is a fixed light in stairwell. Thinking a vent in this might be easier to install than through external staircase wall. This would at least provide some ventilation to the flat. Any better ideas?

My windows are all recessed and all the widths are different to the standard sizes available. I know you can get custom made blinds but these are too expensive. Can you trim the width of wooden blinds, or do I have to get a specialist?

Do the plans have to be done by a qualified architect, or do they just have to be of a required standard, or can they be "approved" by another architect?

I have an unfinished bath in the current plans for my house, scheduled to start construction in a few weeks. I'm trying to find out how much it would cost to add the bath during, or after construction. The room will be framed and drywalled, but no plumbing, flooring, or fixtures will be installed. Assuming really cheap fixtures can anyone give me a central US estimate? Are we talking $10K or less? What's the absolute minimum I might be able to do this? (Sorry for such a dumb question. All the estimators I found are for ripping out an old bathroom and putting in a new one.)

I'm putting vinyl stick down tiles in my bathroom. I've pulled out the old tiles (they weren't vinyl and were cracking and coming up), then I scraped all the loose stuff off and prepped the floor so it is very smooth and level again.

We're about to begin laying the tiles... I want to be sure they'll say down though. I've heard heat them before laying them down and some people have said use extra adhesive while others have not.

If you've completed a similar project or have used vinyl self-adhesive tiles any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
