I was wondering if anyone had experience with these kits and if they are the same quality foam that an installer uses. For me it's difficult to buy claims that a do it yourself kit is the same quality as an installer with a truck full of equipment for the job. But an installer's equipment may just be to get the job done faster. If i'm not mistaken, installers heat their foam to 130 degrees to spray it. I'd appreciate any input because i was just quoted $13,000 to insulate my house with this. Thanks

I am looking to buy a gas log splitter. I was wondering if anyone can help me find one. I was looking for one in the Toronto to Barrie Ontario area. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Willing to spend up to around $1000 for a good quality one. The less expensive the better of course. Thanks so much!

Electrician Please:Thanks those who answered earlier & got deleted accidently.... There is now a normal electrical outlet in the wall & I want to replace it with the Leviton Switch/Outlet. I have an indoor water feature that does NOT have an on/off switch on the device. I must reach behind the water feature & plug it in to turn on & unplug it to turn it off. For this problem, I was sold the Switch / Outlet from H. D. & was told directions for install was in the box. I can't make out the directions. I would like to leave the water feature plugged in at all times and to be able to turn the water feature on/off at the combo outlet's switch. I dont need a GFCI. How do I install the Switch/Outlet? I have only a "small" amount of knowledge with electrical; although, I have changed out outlets before & have installed dimmers and ceiling fans on my own.Below is a corrected link for a description & photo of the switch/outlet:

I tore down the old plaster walls in my soon to be daughters room and then insluated and put up drywall. After 3 coats of join compound and sanding I started to prime the walls. After doing so I see areas where my sanding just didnt' cut it. It is very hard to sand the primer off is there a better way to get rid of it and then re-sand/re-prime?

I've heard that you shouldn't have seams over a dishwasher, so I am going to screw both to the nearest cabinet. But what is the correct way to do this? Do I need to bevel the edges of each plywood board to fit into eachother? Or can the factory edges just sit next to one another? I need to have a flush system, but am not sure how to reinforce the base cabinet (it's very thin and I don't know if both plywood boards will be able to be screwed in). Is there a standard way to do this? Thanks so much.

The old chuck wrench method worked well but all the new drill chucks are hand tightened and do not hold well. Bits and drills fall out or won't turn when you try to drill a hole.

Don't want to go through the expense of renting "tearing out" machines to get rid of bamboo and brush in vacant field. Does anyone know of a "home remedie" such as (I heard of using ) salt (?) or something that may not be a chemical if there is such a thing. I am sure there must be farmers or gardeners who would know of something that they use so as not to contaminate the soil with a chemical. If all else fails, I will have to contact the Department of Agriculture or my local Extension Service of Rutgers School of agriculture for a possible solution. Thanx!
