Got to be better than a zip bag for my computer stuff. A friend of mine thinks before we go on trips this would be a nice idea to seal our computer floppy MB disks.

So how long do you think they'll stay dry? seen frozen food still get freezer burn? Please tell me if you have ever tried for alternative use.

Important: Have ever had humidity inside bag when at water?

Alright if not able to answer of know that then Has a freezer bag ever become separated apart and open before you want it to ?

Remodel in basement - walk-in closet - pocket door - switch will turn light on when door is opened, off when closed. So I turned the power off, put up the closet light fixture, then got zapped when I tried to put in the switch. When I touch the wires from the switch (both black) to the white wire (12/2) it buzzes. I'm just a girl trying to save a buck or 100. Electricians are spendy because they're so smart - can anyone help? Thanks

I am replacing a ceiling light fixture. I have a black, white and ground wire in the ceiling box. The two wires on the fixture are the same color. How do I determine which one is "hot"? If I erroneously connect the hot wire from the ceiling box to the neutral wire from the fixture, will I damage the fixture?

I'm finishing my basement and need to fit a hallway, closet, and bathtub (running long direction) in a tight space. Total distance stud to stud is 10'6". I've decided that rather than create an unusable closet or an extremely narrow hall, I'll use a short tub. This is for a guest room so it won't get a ton of use anyway.

I was initially thinking that a 54" tub would be cheaper than a 60" tub - seems to make sense, right? Wrong! The only cast iron tub that I've found this far is from Kohler and is nearly twice the cost of the similar 60" tub!

Any suggestions on other tubs? I plan to tile the walls, so I'd prefer something nice. Cast Iron is preferred over acrylic. An extra deep tub would be really great.

Thanks in advance!

I have 3 dogs. I need to fence in part of my yard so they won't run loose. My husband was given several rolls of chain link fencing. What do I need to buy in order to anchor the fence to the ground? What kind of time frame should I plan for this to take? Will my husband and I be able to complete it or will he need additional help? Will this project involve concrete?
Thanks, y'all...

I'm fitting a new bath and was just wondering if it would be best to build a frame around it for additional support and also to stop the seal from cracking.

I recently replaced a leaking flapper valve inside my toilet. Now when I flush the toilet I have to hold the flushing handle on the outside of the toilet down in order for it to finish flushing, when usually all you have to do is depress it and release it for it to flush. How do I fix it so it does this again and I don't have to hold it down until the bowl finishes flusing?

i am very interested in the project in the link above.

main question: how much do you think all these materials would cost?

I'm in California and I'm looking to buy from Home Depot, or Lowes if that makes a difference.

Also, are there any other links to similar projects?

thanks!

My subfloor is 5/8" plywood that was previously nailed and glued to the floor joists. Is this enough to nail down 5/8" bamboo flooring, or do I need to install another layer of plywood. Thanks!
