I'd like to attach an automatic water hose reel to the side of my house. The problem is, my house has vinyl siding. So, just using wood anchors will probably cause the siding to get flattened- ugly and wrong. Any ideas?

just bought a new furnace to put in our garage but we don't have natural gas and we want to run lp gas on it. conversion kits are too expensive. is there any other way to DIY so we don't have to spend so much on it? can we just change the orifices and the valve or do we have to buy a conversion kit?

Each hinge consists of two lengths (aprox 8" each) of 3/4" wide strips of 1/8" thick mild steel. The two strips are placed together and holes are drilled through both ends. One of these ends is loosely bolted together such that the two strips are free to rotate around this centre point.
The free end of one of these strips is bolted to a point on the side of the lid while the other end is bolted to the side of the frame such that when the lid is upright the hinge resembles the hypotenuse of a triangle, with the lid as the vertical,and the frame as the horizontal. The hinge is completed by a piece of metal welded at the lower edge at the centre point to provide stability when the lid is raised to the maximum. Has this hinge a name? and is it available? I to thank those who have responded already.

On my watch, the '2' came loose and is bouncing all around the inside of my watch face. I see that there are little holes where the '2' was connected to the watch. Is there a way to remove the glass cover to get inside my watch face and just stick the '2' back in the holes? I really don't want to have to pay a jeweler to do it.

I bought a pattern (Simplicity 3977), and it looked like a fairly easy task to sew (d), or the mantel scarf. It is asking to cut, using this tool, 4--4-1/2"x42" strips, among others. I can read the 4-1/2" strip on the ruler, but am terribly confused about the 42". How do I do it, please? I just got the kit today, and was hopeful I could learn to quit on my own, using these tools that I heard were so "easy..

I am assuming you just need to make sure they're not load bareing before you cut anything. I want to bolt 2x6's from the bottom of the " W " to the roof. Then bolt 2x6's across the top of the peak about 3ft down. Then the part that isn't load baring anymore cut out so I can have strait up walls like a bonus room over the garage but just for storage. Can I do this without the gargage roof sagging, or violating a code. If I go to sell my house I don't want an inspector to say this needs to be taken down and repaired.
