Do It Yourself (DIY) - October 2006

I already put oak-Gloss on it when it's new 2 days ago and wanted to give it a 2nd hand and turn out really bad, so I had to scrape it off using sandpaper and again I tried to put another one and this time the Varnish didn't come uniform so I am scraping it off but My hands are hurting so bad and I really wish to find a solutinon for it after I finished cleaning it. Is there any product I should use before varnishing it.

I am about to fit the plinth in my kitchen.
The dishwasher is next to the washing machine and they are integrated (So they do not have housings).
They are next to a corner with a cabinet.
On one side of the appliances I’ll just fasten the plinth with the provided clips onto the unit legs, but as there are no units, and therefore no legs on the other side of the two appliances I do not know what to clip them onto.
How do I fasten the plinth to these two appliances?
Is there any special “plinth-clips” to connect appliances and plinth with, and if so, where do I get them?
-I know that I need to cut the plinth where it “meets” the dishwasher door” in order to allow this to open.

Thanks for your help!

I currently have two gas combi-boilers (ie they heat the water as it flows through, with no storage tanks), one for the ground floor and one for the top floor. I'm redoing a bathroom and want to get decent shower pressure. What are my best options? I've used a megaflow in a previous house, which seemed good but I don't want to heat my water from cold with electricity. Also seems a shame to have to replace working boilers, but I will if necessary. So can I somehow get hot water into a megaflow - and do I need a new boiler to do this?
Obviously planning to get a plumber to actually install this!

But I didn't have one of those breakers. So I kind of rigged the wire up in there in the panel. I've know there's a breaker out on the transformer on the pole, but my buddy says this isn't a good idea. Do you have to use a breaker in the electric panel?

What is the best way to hang a very heavy 4' wide x 8' tall x 1/2" inch deep piece of wooden art on a wall so that it is secure?

Challenge... This piece of art is a 20 piece puzzle.

Option 1 - We can secure the completed puzzle to a wood backing of the same size. Hence the question, how to hang heavy art?

Option 2 - To make the weight easier to manage, we can hang each puzzle piece individually. However, the challenge is how to hang each individual piece so that the puzzle fits together?

We're open to both ways, but looking for ideas on how to execute on either.
