Doesn't have to be super powerful, just lifting about 100 pounds, frequently. I've already looked at the normal places, and they are all DC powered (car battery). I suppose it could also be manual.

I asked for help on this before but was told to replace the bulb. Well I took the light off the blower but can't find a way to get at the bulb. How the heck do I get at it? Oh it's a 81/2 hsp Yardman about 8 years old.

I was told that you cannot use regular joint compound over the fiberglass tape. I want to know if this is true. If it is, what type of compound should I use for fiberglass tape?

I am recoating a piece of furniture that I used oil based MinWax polyurethane on previously.
I finally invested in a HVLP spray gun and would like to use faster drying finish and I am thinking Varnish would be a candidate.

Can I apply varnish over oil based polyurethane ?
How about water based varnishes over oil poly ?


Thanks, Mike

I am wanting to redo our kitchen, but we are on a tight budget and we have everything worked out except the backsplash which is an ugly white and cranberry color. I would just remove the tiles, but they were laid down before the cabinets were installed so they go up behind them. I am a doing this all myself and looking for any suggestions on any neat or creative ways to cover it up so it will look good!

I wold like to lay a vinyl covering over the old tiles but the pattern may show through in time. If I used a levelling compound then whatever it sets against would be glued into it. Can anyone give me any advice, please?

A few months ago Family Handyman Magazine had a qucik and easy plan to build a butterfly house. I have lost the magazine and wanted to do this as a Christmas gift. Do any of you "yahoos" have back issues, that could retype the info for me? Or a fax would be great too! I can send along my e-mail or numbers if any of you have it. Thanks!
