Do It Yourself (DIY) - February 2007

I really need to save some money and make some things myself and some nice stuff to pass on, is there anywhere I can get a good sewing machine and make payments, I don't have a credit card and can't afford to pay outright, at least not for one of those nice ones.

We will dispose of it properly, and will wear protective clothing. I don't want any problems when we sell in a few years. Also, the asbestos is listed on our contract. Can we take it off the contract if we remove the ceiling?

I am replacing my dishwasher. The dishwasher power supply, between the box under the counter and the dishwasher, is within a flexible armored sheath. When I disconnected the power from the old dishwasher, I noticed that there was no ground wire. Before I go to the hardware store, I thought I'd ask if anyone knew if I can just buy the correct dishwasher power supply with three wires, connect in the existing box under the cabinet and move on or if this is a more serious complication. When done, I want the installation to be safe, with the three expected wires though the sheath all the way to the dishwasher.

For what it is worth, I have the knowledge and tools to safely replace dimmer switches, etc., but I don't do anything "behind the walls". If this can be done at the box under the sink, I am in business.

You have been trying to get it corrected yourself through Yahoo/Answers, I am so sorry for the mistake and knew the minute I did it that I had hit the wrong place, but did not know how to undo it. At this point I do not even know your name or have any of the information as I deleted it all yesterday and then last night this bothered me so much, that I did not sleep well. If you see this and reconize yourself or if anyone else can tell me how to correct this wrong ,I would appreciate it.

I am getting carpet fitted but would rather not have to remove the existing laminate flooring. I thought keeping this in place could be additional insulation and it also saves the hassle of having to remove it. Is this ok?
Also, not sure whether underlay is required.
May be getting carpets with felt backing (tbc) and I was told this wouldn't require underlay.
Under the laminate flooring is chipboard floorboards.

The door to a cabinet in my kitchen came off. There was basically a pivoting hook that the door was attached to, and the hook has a hole for a screw. It was screwed directly into the wood, which is made of plywood. The door came off, and the hole left behind is too big for the screw. I tried to use wood filler to fill the hole and then re-screw it, but it didn't hold up. Any suggestions?
