Copper Plumbing

What causes pinhole leaks in copper plumbing?

At some point your city had acidic water, and your home has thinner copper pipes. The incident may have been years ago. My city was sued, but nobody could prove it because nobody kept water samples. All the plumbers were sure happy about it. I just cut the pipes and solder slip joint couplings over the break.

Crown Molding

Molding is used quite often in kitchens in order to improve the appearance of the cooking area and there are many different designs and styles that can be easily used to make the kitchen completely unique and custom in appearance. You could go for just a few decorative touches or adding molding around the cabinet tops, the choice is all yours.

Adding custom crown molding to the top areas of the cabinets in order to give your kitchen a modern, custom look, you first need to measure the room where it will be installed. Don't forget to buy enough molding to last you for the entire project, and an additional 10-15% that will help with fixing any mistakes or cutting waste. Some manufacturers might actually have pre-finished molding that match your actual cabinets, so it might be worth looking that option as well.

When you add molding to your cabinets you can either nail them directly or you could attach a thin particle board that will be used to attach the molding to instead of directly. This will also let you redecorate the cabinets in a different way later on if you so choose.

You can alternatively even glue it to the cabinet door fronts and this technique is especially useful and beautiful for painted Kitchen Cabinets. You can add first the molding and then re-paint the cabinets for a fresh touch.

Adding a chair rail is yet another way you can use them effectively to make your kitchen modern and unique. Or adding wainscoting to the lower wall parts first and then using the chair rail on the top might be also an interesting idea.

Do not be afraid to experiment as there are many possibilities of using molding to give your cooking area a very modern and beautiful look that it deserves.

Another way you can easily improve the appearance of your cooking area is by adding a beautiful vinyl wood flooring. Check out this article to learn more about installing vinyl flooring tiles.

Should we have the same color crown molding in our living room/dining room L-shaped room?

The living room is beige, the dining room is spanish red. We want to put crown molding up in both rooms. The rooms are connected by a corner...it is an L-shaped room. Should we use the same color and size molding in both rooms to match OR because they are different rooms (yet connected) should we use different molding...like white and off white to create a different look in each space?

same size and color if the rooms are truly connected for continuity and flow

Lightweight Drywall

Ever try to use a Circular Saw in an apartment?

What a hassle!

Full size power tools are not only big and cumbersome...they are loud! Really loud .

I know my neighbors wouldn't appreciate it much if I started cutting some wood in the middle of my apartment.

But what do you do if you like work on small do-it-yourself projects? The solution most people come up with is to use a rotary tool such as a Dremel.

This really doesn't work well for several reasons:

1. The cutting disks always shatter and break

2. It takes forever to cut something such as a piece of wood

3. They are awkward to hold

4. It's hard to get a nice straight cut

Here's the solution:

Mini Circular Saws

If you haven't heard of them, these little suckers are amazing!

They are just like full size circular saws, but have a much smaller blade, are lightweight, easy to store and are much quieter .

They also come in cordless models.

Mini circular saws are perfect for small projects around your home or apartment and will make short cutting work of almost any material. Wood, tile, carpet, plastic, drywall...heck you can even use them out in the garden to prune some small branches or bushes!

What I really like about them is that they solve all the rotary tool issues I listed above and are just plain efficient.

These saws are made by all of the top brands: Craftsman, Makita, etc. If you have a particular tool brand that you like, chances are that they also make a mini circular saw.

Where to Find More Information?

Check out my site that is all about Mini Circular Saws.

It has further information about them as well as info on the Makita circular saw lineup.

Is there a water/mold resistant drywall?

Or do you just use cement board? I'd like to do the whole bathroom in water resistant, but not in tile. Also, looking at the different kinds of mud, there's SHEETROCk lightweight that is supposed to take the spot of taping up lines, does this actually work? Would this be better than the all-purpose? We need to do drywall fast, so help from people who are knowledgeable on the subject would be greatly appreciated!

Definitely use cement backerboard NOT sheetrock in your bathroom. Roxanne

Tip Screwdriver

Are you planning a long outing across the country and need a way to transport all the things you will need? Are you relocating and need a way to carry your furniture and other items? If you responded yes to any of these questions, then a trailer is definitely the solution to your dilemma. It is a good scheme to invest in a trailer. in fact, as soon as you own a trailer you will start to find many purposes that you never anticipated for your trailer. A trailer is a non-motorized compartment with wheels that is attached to a vehicle in order to tow anything it is that you need to haul. It is really a box on wheels. They can successfully carry large number of cargo at a time and can be either enclosed or uncovered. Offered below are the instructions on how to build Your Own trailer.

Necessary Materials:

Metal Sheeting

Axle assembly

Wheel assembly

Tongue

Latch

1" x 4" Boards

Angle iron

Screws

Necessary Tools:

Drill

Screwdriver

Handsaw

Tape Measure

Pencil

Metal scissors

Welding machine

Directions:

1. Initially, choose what type of trailer you need and what size. Use the tape measure and measure the size that you desire to help you assess the amount of materials that you will require. You should frame out your trailer using angle iron that should be cut and welded to make the frame.

2. Next, use a pencil to sketch the plan on metal sheets which should be derived from your earlier measurements. Use a metal scissors to Cut Out the plans you traced on the metal sheeting.

3. Weld the parts together making sure that no openings are left between them.

4. Install the axle. It should be placed in the middle of the wheels. Where you put the axle on the trailer depends on how you want the trailer to work. If you want it to tip backwards, then the axle must be set up near the centre of gravity.

5. Install the wheels on the axle.

6. The tongue must now be connected to the trailer. It contains a hand wheel, a coupler and a latch. Turn the trailer upside down and weld the coupler firmly to the body of the trailer using the welding machine. Weld the tongue beams in the likewise.

7. Attach a latch to the frame of the trailer to assist when attaching the trailer to another vehicle for haulage.

8. Take your tape measure and measure two pieces of 35" x 18" metal sheeting and cut with metal scissors. Take each sheet and measure 4" from one end and make a an indication there on both sides. Weld the forward spring hanger to the front of the overhanging angle iron.

9. Next, measure 6" from the free end and mark again. Bend the sheet at this point and this will be welded at the specific indication to the back of the overhang.

10. To make the flooring of the trailer, measure the length of the trailer and cut the boards using handsaw to fit the size. Indicate where each board meet the iron of the trailer frame below and make a mark using pencil on each board. Indicate on the iron also. Use drill to create holes both in the iron and the board and then use screwdriver and long screws to secure the position.

Tips:

Paint the trailer to make it more attractive.

The tongue weight is the amount of force generated by the trailer. To discover the tongue weight, assess the overall weight of the trailer. 5% of the result is the tongue weight.

Why are phillips head screwdrivers made incorrectly?

A guy called 1 said this:

"A Phillips screwdriver, however, has a pointed tip. ... Furthermore, the cross-shaped indentation in the screw is so shallow that when you're done the screwdriver pops right out, before you get into trouble."

But this is all wrong! One day I just gave up trying to screw a phillips and stared at the screw. I studied it. It seemed to me the "indentation" wasn't deep enough. So I filed off the "pointed tip". It worked!

Why?

I feel your pain. I have often suspected there was some sadist designing those stupid things. I have found it best to use the biggest possible screwdriver for whatever screw you are working with. Otherwise the slots will strip like crazy and leave you foaming at the mouth and wanting to choke someone. At least there are not as many Phillips screwdrivers as there are sockets for wrenches, so getting the several you need won't be expensive.

Mobile phones have become an essential gadget for all class of people in almost every region in today's world. Now, mobile phones not only serve communication purpose, they also take care of entertainment features. Download Fun makes it possible for mobile phone users and other mobile devices to download ring tones, screensavers, and wallpapers over the net.

People want their favourite music on cell phones. So the latest and fastest growing feature available today is downloadable ring tones. There are other downloadable items available on the Internet like Java Games, wallpapers and screen savers but the most popular feature requested is downloadable ring tones. Downloadable ring tones were simply an Engineering student's good idea.

Ring tone is the sound that a cell phone makes when it's rings. There are many types of Ring tones available like Polyphonic ring tone, Monophonic ring tones, and the most popular MP3 format. However the new technologies like 3G also bring the music on your mobile cell phone.

Monophonic ring tones are basically one note ringer format which is not so popular these days. Initially cell phones were only capable of playing monophonic ring tones. Almost all cell phones have their own ring tones. A recent study shows that about Ninety-two percent of cell phone users have downloaded an exclusive ring tone that did not come with their phone. Every person desires to have the latest music on their cell phones. The ring tone industry is growing rapidly.

The stylish smart mobile phone sets and various ring tones have become status symbols. Ring tones choice shows that you're up to date and happening. Choose a ring tone which best suits your personality. You can truly display your lifestyle and certainly your musical taste on your sleeve.

You'll find many sites offering tones by today's hottest musicians. You have a choice to pick monophonic, polyphonic or true tone MP3 formats. The first thing you need to know before you select, buy and download a suitable ring tone is that your cell phone sports that format. The Mobile phone that you purchased just a year ago may not have features to play latest ring tone currently available. So make sure from your cell phone manual or call your service provider for guidance.

Most websites offer samples of each musical sound trace to know which type of music you'll want to use on your cell phone. Polyphonic ring tones use midi technology. Polyphonic ring tone with its richer tonal quality sounds better than monophonic but when compared to MP3 quality it sounds pretty weak. The future of sound for ring tones seems to be hi-fi quality digital musical formats.
