Performing a cut on metal pipe that is below the level of the floor for a floor drain or above a drywall ceiling for a sprinkler head is impossible with standard pipe-cutting tools. This is due to the design of most cutting tools. The majority of pipe-cutting tools span the outside surface of the metal pipe and then twist around the pipe to force a hardened blade into the surface of metal pipe.
A loose tile in a shower is a relatively easy fix--all you have to do is fully remove it, clean up the space and re-install the old tile or a new one. But it's not something you should take lightly or put off. A loose tile will allow moisture to get into the substrate material. This could potentially cause the rest of your tiles to loosen, and you might be faced with replacing the entire floor, which isn't such an easy fix.
Dressers are a perfect way to store clothing, keeping it safely out of sight yet on hand and quickly accessible. The problem is that these drawers are dark, typically sealed off when closed, and can quickly develop moisture that leads to the development of a musty, moldy odor. To remove the odor, simply treat the drawers with a quick odor removal solution.

Concrete boulders add texture and dimension to landscaping. When it may be too expensive to haul in large boulders to use for landscaping, creating fake rocks may be a cheaper alternative. There are a number of ways to make artificial rock and all end up with a real-looking finished product. Once you master the basic technique of making fake rocks, you can let your imagination help you create concrete boulders sized, colored and shaped exactly the way you want them.
Novaform mattresses are made by Sleep Innovations and sold through many retailers in the United States, including Costco, BJ's and Sam's Club warehouses. Novaform mattresses are made of a high-density memory foam that was developed for NASA in 1996 to to provide astronauts relief from G-forces in space. Unlike a regular mattress, memory foam mattresses require some time to properly set up before they can be used.
Novaform mattresses provide cushioned support.
Homeowners often choose baseboard heaters because they're efficient, inexpensive and easy to install. However, baseboard units can make furniture placement difficult because they span several-foot sections of wall. Furniture placed in front of the units not only blocks heat; it also creates a fire hazard. Although some furniture can be pulled away from the wall, your bookcase must sit flush against it. Adding legs to the bookcase -- to straddle the heating unit and raise the bookcase above it -- gives you more placement options without affecting the heater's function.
Two types of stair rails commonly adorn a home: wall-mounted stair rails and spindle-mounted or newel post-mounted rails. Metal brackets hold the wall-mounted type to the wall with screw fasteners. Spindle-mounted rails are a little more complicated. The rail itself attaches to the newel posts at each end of the staircase and then a number of upright spindles attach to the underside of the rail along its length. Flat pieces of filler wood lock these spindles into a grooved channel on the rails underside.
Stand-up freezers, also commonly referred to by the name upright freezers, provide easily accessible storage for all types of frozen goods. Several features, like adjustable temperature controls and temperature alarms, keep your frozen foods consistently at the right temperature. Adjust the settings for your particular freezing needs; most models simply consist of a control dial to switch between selections.
Temperature Control The temperature control dial selects the temperature at which your stand-up freezer should run.
Removing paint from any surface can be a challenge, whether it be fabric, upholstery or leather. While different methods are used for removing oil paint as opposed to acrylic or latex paint, both types require immediate removal if possible and scraping with a knife when dry.
Always cover furniture to avoid spills when painting. Remember to always read the label of the paint you are using to find out if it is oil- or water-based, and use household items to remove oil paint stains from leather items such as clothing, car seats, sofas and purses.
Vermiculite is a material used as loose fill insulation in attics. Prior to 1990, most vermiculite came from a mine in Montana. The mine contained asbestos, which contaminated the vermiculite. Inhaling asbestos fibers can cause lung disease or cancer.
