I bought a Thermos portable gas grill at Target last weekend, and with it a 1LB Propane tank. One problem, however. According to the instructions, I'm supposed to have the the regulator (or whatever the dial thing is called) such that looking down on it the dial is straight up and the connection for the tank is straight down. But when I plug my small propane tank into this and set it down, the grill is shorter than the tank, so my grill ends up on an incline with the tank lifting it 2 or 3 inches off the ground. I'm quite sure that the tank is securely attached to the grill, it doesn't look like those inches are supposed to go away if I connected it tighter or something. As a solution, I would just turn the tank at an angle, but the instructions seem to suggest that the tank should always be vertical. Are there different sizes of 16.4oz propane tanks? Is it not a big deal to just rotate the tank 45 degrees or so to allow my grill to sit flat? How can I make this work?

I live in a studio type space in the attic of my sister's house. I open all the windows when it gets cool outside, and have fans running continuosly, but it's still really hot most of the time. Other than buying an air conditioner, what can I do to keep the heat out? I'm having a baby in a few weeks and I really want my personal space to be comfortable for us.

It is storming outside right now really bad and the only place I can get reception is on the roof. It has metal shingles. There is lots and lots of lightning but for lightning it doesn't look so tuff. I am in good health and am pretty fast about getting away from surprises. I really want to watch the playoffs tonight and I think it's worth the risk. Anything I should know before setting out to do this?

My thinking is that neither side has a chance of proving the existance of god or no god. The answer is outside our ability to prove one way or the other. Only fools think otherwise. We are no closer to proving god exists than we were 6000-10,000,000 years ago.
My suggestion is we take the wuestion and put it right out on the table and just watch and see what happen in 6000-10,000,000 years. Then go on with our lives. Go to a higher level. Quit the crap and maybe just maybe we will be rewarded in some way with the answer. If it makes any difference at all.
What do you think about that idea. Please no holy rollers or preachers or scientist that can't see outside themselves need answer.

So I saw on TLC that they had made a bed out of old doors....using one for the head board and one for the footboard. Thought it was an awesome concept. So I'm in the process of finding the doors. Once that's done, I need to get four pegs to put on the bottom corners....but could someone here please tell me how to go about doing the frame? I searched TLC's website and found the picture of the bed...just not instructions as to how to really do it. Thanks.

The route I need would be through interior walls. The attic space is above the 2nd story. I'd rather not remove sheetrock to route the cable. I'm wondering if there is some tool that would help.
