not bypass to get a sample.  I accepted those answers but am now not

I looked at a stove at Home Depot the other day.  I was ready to buy
one.  They have "free" delivery and they carry away the existing
stove.
The stove I was looking at was around 600 bucks.  The "free" delivery

I am getting a new refrigerator today and will put the old one in the
garage.  I would like to remove the old ice maker so I would have more

water softener, I never had a water softener so I have few questions.
I called the water department lab in our town and asked them about the
hardness of the water in the subdivision that I am moving into, they

The Phillips portable DVD player has -- for some unknown reason -- an
old-fashioned plug (equal-sized prongs).  It is plugged into a
UL-approved "temporary power tap" that has the uneven-sized

I need to crosscut a few railroad ties for landscaping, and maybe make
a couple crude half-lap joints.  I've got a light-duty chain saw,  an
old circular saw, and some hand saws.
Any advice?  Better ways?

Another non-DIY question. The house I'm getting ready to sell has a
wrought iron railing on the porch steps - about 3 steps worth from the
sidewalk to the cement porch. Sometime last yr the end upright piece
broke (square hollow piece, not one of the twisty spindle things). The

My  two-sided wall heater 's vents are dirty and some have
lost paint.  They look terrible.  For years I have been resolving
to Do Something About It.  I even bought a spray can appropriate for a
heat-emitting device.

My 20 year old house is getting new rugs. Before the installers come in,
I'm cutting out sections of old carpet where squeaks have developed. I
have taken two approaches. first, ball-peening the old nails back in
snugly and then screwing down adjacent to the old screws with new
