Do It Yourself (DIY) - December 2007

Does the price for their homes include everything or just to put the house in the dry? The price on their web page is extremely low and they do mention that it is a "starting from" price. I was wondering if anyone has purchased a home from them and could tell me a little more about it.

Hi

I have built an 8 foot tall room in a really high (30ft) warehouse and now it needs a ceiling. I would like to do something as quick and cheap as possible for now so that the room keeps in some warmth and is sheltered from dust and a bit soundproofed. I'll do it "properly" at a later date, just need to crack on with working in the room.

So best suggestions? room is 11x11 feet approx. 3 walls are 3 inch cavity walls made with 3x2 studs and chipboard, 4th wall is plasterboard / brick with large window.

And for the sake of argument, how would I (at a later date) make it more solid and permanent, and possibly load bearing so that you can walk on top?

Thank you! Happy new year!

I live in an apartment complex with alot of tree's and it seems like the clearest shot towards the sky is if i mount my dish on a pole to were the dish is almost at ground level.

by the way, its a Dish500 and i'm assuming I can just get a pole from lowes or home depot to mount it on. Granted I also have a SuperDish but the tripod I bought for it, was too small and tipped over if you blew on it due to the dish's weight, I wonder if they would get mad if i put both of these dishes on the ground side by side. lol.

It's on a vintage television. It's not the picture tube but a transparent gray protective piece of plastic. I know with broken windshields they buff in tiny particles of glass to make the crack disappear. Do you know what I could use on plastic and remember pastic melts when heated

I am a custom woodworker. I am soon going to be looking for a new table saw when I am finished with building my workshop. Price and portability are not important as the saw is a long-time investment and will never get moved once set up. More important is durability, large solid sturdy table, and power to be able to cut through 8 and 12/4 white oak, mahogany, rosewood and other dense hard woods. A good biesemeyer style fence, or other accurate type is necessary. Anybody have any experience with these types of saws? What would you recommend? At my buddy's shop I use an old delta unisaw, I believe ten inch, with 2 1/2 hp I think. It has a nice big, heavy cast iron table with a para-lok fence. It is wonderful, only problem is it is my buddy's and he's not selling either of the two he has. Any suggestions?

I recently bought a lighter with a nice faux-antique silver plate finish, but when I had it engraved the moron polished the damn finish off. I would like to restore it, or even take it a step further (I'm quite fond of the dirty look - I just don't want to take the silver plate off).

These are things I've tried, so do not mention them:
Saltwater
Vineagar/Lemon Juice

We are moving house and need lots of boxes. We have looked around and been shocked at the price of them (around £2 each) we will need about 100. We dont mind if they have been used aslong as they are usable and reasonably priced.
Any ideas???
