harzardrous to my pigs living down there.
What can I do now?

I was looking for unfinished red-oak select or better hardwood floors
in a MA home depot store. Noticed that the stuff they claim to be
select is actually marked as #1 common by the manufacture. The
manufacture is Harris Tarkett. Also, the floor does not have NORMA

Can anyone recommend good, knowledgeable, quality heating contractors in the
Greater Toronto Area? After doing much research I've come to the conclusion
that the brand of furnace is not  the most important consideration but

We have a GE self cleaning oven and we are attempting to engage the self
cleaning mechanism.  But for some reason, the "clean" latch on the door

the "office" is a roughed-in room in the basement.  In addition to sheetrock
and some cosmetic work, it needs electricity.  I currently use several

I've just inherited a working 8' wide spa (AKA hot tub), fiberglass body in
a foam-insulated wooden frame with an insulated lid, holding about 700
gallons. We're going to install this outside on what was a small (non-reg.)
basketball court, and put up a windbreak around it.

Is there a general rule about using nails versus staples depending on
the pitch of the roof?  The material is asphalt roll-roofing on a
12"/12" pitch.  Building codes are not an issue at this location.

Recently I order Graber shades from American Decorating Warehouse.  I
received Bali, and when I called about the mistake, they told me they
are the same manufacturer and the same product.  It seems like the
Bali's are flimsier.  I feel like I got ripped off.  Like it is a bait

I'm using an electric heater to warm up my bedroom while keeping the
temperature in the rest of the house much lower, heated by the furnace.
