Do It Yourself (DIY) - July 2007

like an actual window frame but for 5x7 pics, unfinished. I have tired myself out looking for one and am in desperate need of your help!
Or even where I can find a small window frame that we can convert into a pic frame....ahhhh....hopefully I don't sound like an idiot.

The reason I ask is every time I get a clog and a plunger doesn't work, I try a drain opener, and every single time, over the last 3 decades, they've failed.

So my question is, has anyone ever actually had a clog opened by one of these products?

The floor is uneven and too poor a quality to sand. I don't know how to install vinyl sheeting and thought perhaps a paint like material would work.

The wooden letters come from Michaels or some other craft store and you spell out a child's name usually to put in their room on the wall. I want to decorate them in some way instead of leaving them as the plain white wood. I need ideas for this. Are there sites out there with ideas for this project?

We have an expanse of (wooden/privacy) fence in the back yard and would like to build a gate a little less than half the width of one panel of fencing. The fence is not brand new. Can we just cut the panel in half and add a post and hardware? Anyone have any step by step instructions / advice / direction? Also, what tools will we need and can this be accomplished in a weekend?

How do I determine the angle?

I just received my radiant flooring and it just came with a standard thermostat. I would like to have the option of having a timer on it, so I can program it to turn on and off when needed. Can I go out and buy any thermostat/timer for the flooring?

I have just installed two new light fittings in my lounge which are compatible for a dimmer switch but when I removed the old two way light switch there were three red wires coming from the inside of the walls leading to Right side L2 L1 and Left side L2 there was also a wire which was also red which was not connected to the wall in any way but just looped from R side L1 to L side L2. I duplicated this in the dimmer switch but nothing happened. The earth wire is connected to the inside of the box itself therefore the switch doesnt need earthing. When I put the new lights in there were old electrical wires in the ceiling. In one was a red and a black wire, which I connected and the light worked from the old switch in the other there was two black wires and a red which when connected to the new light worked. Where am I going wrong with the dimmer? It has eight connection holes, four on either side L then a blank the N then another blank. I wired it the same as the original switch.

I originally purchased a Dewalt drill with Nicad batteries. However,after fooling around with the lighter lithium based cordless drill/drivers I've decided to go that route.

I'll be using this drill from everything from hanging blinds to decking. I'm not a contractor but more of a DIY weekend warrior. The one thing that I was concerned about was being able to drill into concrete. Seems like the drill/drivers that have the hammerdrill feature are on the heavy side and I was looking for something lighter. Am I better off just getting a seperate corded hammerdrill or Hilti drill for the very few times that I may need to drill into concrete?

So far I've had my eye on Makita's,Hitatchi,Ridgid to name a few. Can anyone offer some opinions?

I have wood paneling in a bedroom and it has been painted over with blue paint, so it just looks hideous. How can I take it down, and how difficult and expensive will it be to put up new sheetrock?

I have an existing cooler that must be replaced. Does anyone know how difficult the installation is and do you recommend a guy with average talent tackle the job or refer it to a proffessional?

I am thinking of buying a larger kiln for my work, and it would require 3 phase power at 7.5kw according to the info. Would I be able to run it using one of those phase converters changing single to 3 phase? Or would I be better off finding out how much it would cost to have 3 phase installed in my garage?

I would like it about 28" hight and about 59" long on each side to fit in my corner of my living room. It should not extend from the back of the wall to the front of the desk any more than about 19-20". I have no idea and cannot seem to make a drawing of what I need. any help would be appreciated. also, if someone knows of a desk like this already made and for sale on a website, please direct me to it.. I dont want to spend any more that about $150 - $180 for it. Thats why I thought I would get my own material and build it myself. Dont need no fancy drawers as I will put a 24 1/2" file cabinet under one end. No sliding keyboard tray needed as I may add that later.keyboard tray needed either. Thank you..
