Im sure its been done by many ppl. Im just trying to find the right tank and pump for the job. One that when it gets filled to a certain level the pump will turn on and pump it to my sewer pipes. I need it since my sink would be lower then my pipes run. Any ideas or websites would be greatly appreciated

We had this 3 feet by 6 feet tarpaulin printed for an event. Unfortunately, we had trouble with the venue so the event was moved to a later date. We can't afford to have another tarpaulin printed with the date corrected because we've gone way over budget!

Can anyone suggest ways to cover up the old dates and replace them with the new one on the tarpaulin? The background color is multi colored and plain paper might not be a good idea.

But any suggestion would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Is it normal, in a new bathroom that has just been retiled, for there to be a greyish deposit on the floor after it gets wet? I'm guessing this is just water bringing up excess cement from inbetween the floor tiles.

Is this normal?

And is it temporary?

Anything I can / should do right now, e.g. with sealant, or will it pass eventually, like most painful things in life, LOL?

I'm trying to figure out the best way to run power for a ceiling fan. There is currently no lights or any power sources on the ceiling in the room I'd like to add the fan. I looked in the attic and could not find a junction box. Could I run a cable down the wall and tie it in with a wall receptacle by splicing the wires?

Hi
Does anyone know how much it would cost to make your own solar panel, not one for heating water, but one that would provide electricity to rooms and appliances? And can it be done in the first place?

How well does gorilla glue work on concrete walls? I want to attach a curtain rod and I know drilling a hole up there will be a pain. I have a huge window and my tv directly under the curtain. Will the gorilla glue hold it up? I dont want to replace the tv if the rod falls.

It seems like it's got to be simple, I've done it before. Now I can't find the instructions, can't figure it out and can't find any information on tightening the collet on the internet.

I can press the button that stops the collet from rotating, but even with a wrench I can't seem to turn the collet to tighten it with the button pressed.

Tool guys, help!
