I've been debating installing crown molding for quite sometime. I love the look, but the thing is does it add value to the home, or does it at least at appeal? Either way, it's hard to justify doing it if it's going to be a total financial loss. Any ideas?

I am adding a new bathroom in my basement and the vent for the shower will run parallel between two ceiling joists. When i reach the wall i will have to 90 down and then 90 back parallel along the wall. Will this affect my venting when i 90 down?

Bathroom cabinet drawers keep sliding open about 1"

I have a 4-drawer cabinet in a bathroom and 2 drawers (same side of the cabinet) don't stay closed and slide open about 1"

What can I do to fix them so they stay shut?

Thanks.

Hey,

I have a double switch In one of my home rooms, now a while ago the switch broke, and it controls 2 lights (as far as i know) now when this switch broke, My security lights out the front of my house stopped working, well I brought a switch today, and decided to wire it back in, My main light still doesnt work, and im not sure of my other light, But my security lights came on! and they work fine, this I am confused about,
Now when I was wiring my switch I noticed there was a kinda loop wire between the 2 poles or switches, Im not sure if i have wired it on properly or whether i have, but the fault is in the other wiring (which i have not done)

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks in advance,
Schultzy

I will be installing 8"x10" ceramic wall tiles over cement board. Any suggestions on if I should use thinset mortar or mastic? Are there any advantages to using one over the other? I haven't hung the cement board yet.I believe that the Durock instructions say to leave the smooth side out for mastic, rough side out for mortar. Yet, I've also read that some people will do a skim coat of mortar before installation, doesn't that negate leaving the rough side out for mortar? I appreciate any advice.

I was told that since microwave does turn on, lights and turntable work... most likely the MAGNETRON needs to be replaced. The microwave is no longer under warranty... would I be able to buy the part and switch myself, and how? The MAGNETRON part is covered for up to 8yrs but how do I do it??? I want to avoid technicians fees.... they want to charge like $50 to just take a look at it...when I know whats wrong. Please Help?

Has anyone done this before? What companies are out there to look at? My boyfriend has worked as an assistant General contractor at a few internships, when he graduates in May he will have a degree in construction management and then will work for a home building company as a project manager. We think after a year we should be able to build our own house. I've looked at "Owner Builder Solutions" website they seem like a good idea has anyone used them? They say they are not modular or mobile homes. If I use them what else would I need to buy? Thanks

I'd like to build a clear plexiglass or acrylic wall that has water inside and some sort of airiator at the bottom so that bubbles push up through the water. It must be light enough when empty to be moved by 2 people and I'll need to be able to put it up and take it down multiple times without destroying it. It also has to be built with fairly inexpensive and easy to find items. I plan on using it in front of a backdrop for a photo shoot that is supposed to be vaguely "underwater". The size would need to be at least 4 feet tall and 6 feet wide and I don't know how deep. Definately no deeper than 4 or 5 inches.

The transfer switch that is shipped with the unit is indoor rated with 12 individual circuits and simply will not work for my needs. Anyone out there who can advise me? Thanks.
