Yes, everything is wood though I am not sure what type.

The deck is only about 10 years old. I considered replacing it all but I think I am to invested now to abandon ship.

My deck has a thick coat of paint on it that I am trying to remove. I used a chemical stripper and power washer to try and break through but it is being pretty stubborn. The ornamental vertical rails...

Any specific suggestions for a mini pc?

I am looking for a cheap solution that offers full internet usage on my TV (basically, I want to use my TV as a monitor).

I have looked briefly at Mini PC's, Google Chrome Cast, and Roku type...

I have a floor lamp. The dimmer knob controls the brightness as well as turning it on and off.

It still works with regards to turning it on and off but it no longer works to control the...

Hello
My Frigidaire oven just made a loud pop noise. A small flash, and then it shut the power off to the while house. I reset the breaker and got power back but the oven doesn't work. It also...

I could post a picture of the lamp if it would help but I didn't think it would. It is a rotary dimmer switch. I found a picture online of a similar style lamp (attaching) just to give you an idea...

I have a large floor lamp and the dimmer quit working. The light still turns on and off but only does full brightness when on. Is it easy to fix this? Anyone able to offer some tips?

Thanks

The drain pan doesn't come out. It is built in. The hose seems to be going right into it which is leaning me to believing the hose is leaking. Also, the back panel is a cardboard like material and it...

No, it doesn't seem to be the door. When I checked the back of the fridge, there was definitely water coming out the back.

Right now I am thinking it may be the drain hose going from the freezer...

Hello. My GE fridge (freezer on the top) has been giving me a puddle of water on the floor lately. Someone suggested it was a leak in the drain pan. I removed the front access panel and couldn't see...

I am just starting to train for my 1st marathon. I am going to be doing most of my training on a treadmill. For getting started, should I focus more on increasing the length of time I run/walk...

There are lots of sites but most of it is general knowledge. I am looking for a book to reference for a step by step training. I do most of my training on a treadmill. So any helpful tips people have...

I don't currently do much. I do about 3 miles, 3 times a week. I am hoping a year is enough time to increase that a bit.

I want to run a marathon but have never done anything like that before. I am planning to give myself about a year to train. Anyone have a good website or book for me to reference? Also, any other...

Each day I have been finding a pool of water on the floor by my fridge. I am not sure where it is leaking but I thought someone may know what commonly causes a leak and if I can fix it myself. Thanks

I am considering home schooling and have seen lots of opinions from various parents and educators. I have seen lots of pros and cons but have never really heard from the kids that went through it.

I am going to fix up my deck. It looks old and beat down but I think it can be restored. I have been reading various things online about cleaning and sealing the deck in order to bring it back to...

Sorry it took so long to get back to you. It appears to be pine because it look yellowish.

I want to get rid of the red but am coming to terms with the fact that it may be too difficult.

So...

I thought you may ask for that. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to figure that out. When we bough the house, it had a red stain on it so it is tough to even see the color of wood. If you can point...

I am still developing a consistent workout schedule. I have cut calories a lot as I have mentioned

Monday - 1 hour Cardio
Tuesday - 40 min strength training
Wednesday - 1 hour cardio

Thanks for the help. I am clearly not getting enough calories so I think my body is holding onto anything it can get now. I am meeting with a dietitian to figure out a plan. I am going to incorporate...

Thank IT... that was great. I am just getting into all of this and am trying to educate myself. Initially I just restricted my diet and began exercising a bit. I started losing weight and was loving...

Thanks for the feedback. I plan on seeing a doctor just to go over everything but wanted to get some good information in the meantime.

I apparently have plateaued a little bit because despite my...

I have been working out for a few months now. I am 6'0". I started at 280 and am down to 250. I have also restricted my diet quite a bit.
Breakfast: cup of fiber cereal
Snack: small bowl of fruit...

I have made it clear to my mother my feelings about this guy. He has a checkered past, provides conflicting information about himself, and always claims to have a "deal in the works" but won't have...

Just to clarify, the money was a birthday gift given to my wife, not for the child. I was hoping he would not acknowledge the birth or my wife's birthday.

I plan to donate the money but I also...

My wife and I do not care for my mom's boyfriend. I won't get much into him but we don't care to have him as part of our lives. We aren't rude but we just avoid him when possible. I don't believe my...

I finished my cabinets and thought I would upload a few pictures so everyone can see how they turned out. Again, it is hard to tell in the pictures but they look so much better. Thanks to everyone...

I got some eco friendly citrus stripper stuff. It does develop into a filmy paste that needs scraped off.

I will try it on a hard to see spot to see how it works but is there any recommendation on...

Ok... so I bought all my supplies. I am going to be putting stripper on tonight. The bottle says to leave it on anywhere from 30 minutes to 24 hours. Anybody have any ideas on how long I should keep...

Thanks so much for the help. I could have spent all day on this and not gotten anywhere. I am not too picky on what I want it to look like. Just something darker and browner. It is somewhat hard to...

Attached are 4 pictures. I hope these help. I uploaded 5. 1 with flash close up, 1 with flash further away, 1 wishout flash close up, and 1 without flash further away. FInally, I have added one that...

My home was built in 1993. I can tell you that the same ugly color wood is used throughout the house. It trims every room, it is used for every door, and it is in the cabinets and drawers.

I will...

The wood in my house is an ugly yellow-orange-ish color. I want to strip it and stain it with a nice color.

I wish I could tell you what kind of wood it is or what kind of finish is currently on...

The unit is somewhat old so I don't really want to pay a guy $60 or something to tell me I need a new one. So, I think I am going to give it a shot myself. Got to learn this stuff sometime. So, any...

I don't know much about washing machines. Mine started leaking out the bottom-front recently. Can anyone fill me in on some common causes and solutions to this problem?

Thanks

That actually reminds me of a great and funny story but that is for another time and place. I will tell you that the cold water didn't hurt me in the end.

Thanks everyone. I actually worked out my arms and shoulders on Tuesday and they just started feeling sore last night. So I did have a day off in between. Should I work them through the pain today or...

I just started working out. Obviously, I am sore from the workout. To continue on my schedule I am working out again today. My legs are fine but my arms and shoulders are tender. Is it better to...

Ok... I tried a few things and still am not having any luck. Maybe someone can interprett my results though

I put both blacks together on the LINE and both whites together on the LINE side. When I...

I have a plug tester. When I plug it into the GFCI outlet that is not working it displays no lights, which means "Open Hot" but I don't really know what "open hot" means. I have not tried it on the...

Sorry... I hate sounding ignorant but how do I know if there is a "short to ground in either the hot or neutrel"

This is my first time working on anything electrical

My puppy could definitely use some more training. And more dominance training. He challenges me at times.

He is neutered
I don't let him lay down or sit first on furniture
He does start sleeping...

I will post the sign. I don't really want to confront the kids/teenagers because they are somewhat unruly and are the type of people to vandalize my house and car while I sleep. Good neighborhood...

OK... I disconnected the LOAD side and it seems to be working. I purchased an outlet tester and the reading with the LOAD side disconnected is "correct". If I hook the LOAD side back up the reading...

Instead of just buying gifts for my new goddaughter, I wanted to help set up her financial future. I am not talking about anything major, just starting some sort of college fund or something. I will...

Thanks Everyone. I was planning to attempt to replace the outlet today.

You said before replacing anything, disconnect everything from the load side. Obviously, I don't know much about this stuff....
