The fans in both our bathrooms are extremely noisy so we almost never use them. While we were having some electrical work done I asked the electrician if it was possible to replace them. He said that we couldn't do it unless we replaced the existing attic vents with larger ones because all the new fans require wider vents. I was wondering if that's true. (I got the feeling he just didn't want to do it.)

We have the perfect branch in our yard for making a tire swing, but the branch is just too high to get a rope over. We've tried tying a rock to the end of the rope and throwing it over, but it kept getting caught in other small branches. Does anyone know another way to do it?

my toilet is stopped up. i poured in bleach, which usually works, but it didn't help. i bought a drain opener that forces air through the toilet, and i'm worried that there will be some bad reaction with the bleach.

I just used a tank torch w/welding tip when I was younger. I would like to weld together some framework for a trailer, maybe a ladder rack for my pick up that sort of thing do I need to have a mig a tig an arc? can it be something I can plug into standard outlet. I know enough to hurt myself so I'll obviously need one that I can learn with but that will do bigger jobs once I have an idea what I am doing. I don't have much mulla either so I want something cheap or my wife will have me welding a skid plate for my but as she boots me down the street. Maybe I should just stick with torches and coat wire.

How difficult is it to remove a laminet veneer from an old table and replace it with new laminet veneer? I am a fairly handy furniture refinisher but have never tried to replace a laminet veneer before. Is this something that I should attempt or not? Any thoughts on the "hot iron" vs the "glue" method for affixing the veneer to the table top? How costly would it be if I had a pro do the work? OK...you get the idea. I need suggestions/advice....any thing you can tell me will be appreciated. I'd really like to hear from pros on this one....Thanks
