Do It Yourself (DIY) - May 2007

The canopy kits in the stores are so expensive. I would like to make the frame and just use tarps to drape over it. How can I create a sturdy 10' x 10' frame, and how do I secure the tarps? The canopy will be placed on concrete (patio). Thank you for your help.

Here is my idea. if you dont like sick and twisted please just move on :p
When I shed this mortal coil and head into The Light, I want a cam in my casket, focused on my face. They have cameas with LED lights that brighten up the darkest places. A cable goes to the surface and inside the tombstone is a processor, a solar yard light for power and a wireless antenna so I can broadcast Dead-EdCam and you all can watch me decay :P
Imagine future office pools on when my lower jaw will fall off. Bury me with a No Pest Strip to keep the bugs down, maybe a little green pine tree in case I can still smell my smell.
I think its a GREAT idea!!

I'm a used car salesperson and we have a website that customer send credit applications and questions.All of our advertisement is for the 2 hispanics salespeople,and now the owner is given them all the online applications...After 10 years at this place I feel pushed out, because I see customers who I would use to be able to deal with and make money going to my co-workers.....I questioned the owner why he has directed all customers to my co-workers and he ignored me...Can I sue him , I feel ignored and without his advertisement I get nothing...This is also a way to make a person quit therefore no unemployment paid by company!!!!!

My electric shower has a cord switch that you need to pull by the bathroom door that needs to be pulled/switched on before I can get hot water from the shower. I have just gone away for a week and think I may have left it on! Can anyone tell me if this is dangerous and I need to go home and check?!
PS. the water for the rest of the house is heated separately.

I just wonder if it would be good for the motor to be exposed to the moisture, especially after a steamy shower...

I'm going to have someone remove the doors, and my house doors to get it in there...not a problem. But they can't do this for about a few weeks. So should I stay at my house until my fridge is in (mind you I have no money right now to eat @ restaurants until it arrives), or should I stay at my mom's until my fridge arrives?

I think the question states it, I want to replace both of my outside faucets or repair them or ??? because they squirt out about 1/4 of the water before it goes down the hose. My house is 26 years old so I figure it must be time for new ones

A small mound of concrete grains were spotted near the edge of the wall-to-wall carpet this morning, and a couple of black ants were loitering nearby. This is in an apartment on the 16th floor of a downtown building!?!

The drywall tape is peeling really bad from moisture, all over the walls and ceiling. Is this a quick fix, or do I just need to tear it down and start all over?
