I actually tried that before I posted and I read several articles. I just wanted to post so I could get a person's response for my particular situation rather than a canned internet response.

I have a circular saw, but the problem covers the entire closet floor all the way up to all 3 walls. I don't think I can cut all the way up to the walls with my saw, maybe 4 or 5 inches from the walls but not all the way. I could try getting a different type of cutting tool perhaps.... If I...

Hi, I just bought a house (fixer upper) and the previous owner had several cats as pets. It seems that in one particular closet on the second floor the cats decided to pee as much as they wanted and the owner didn't do anything about it. It's been two weeks since the owner moved out and I've...

I remember PBR. Once, a friend and I were drinking it, and after a number of beers I asked him, "hey, why do you think they call it PBR?" He responded back to me, "It stands for Punk Rock Beer. You drink it when you're rocking out to punk." It wasn't until later that we realized how dumb that...

I'm not certain, but I believe that moving the wall about a foot will place it over the truss. I'd have to crawl under the building to be sure. As for how is the ceiling supported while moving the wall, I was hoping one you you all had an idea.

There is a crawlspace underneath this one, I haven't gone in it though since it's only about 3.5 feet high. Tornadoes are very unlikely in this part of the country. I'm aware that prefabbed homes don't do as well on the market as stick built homes. That's one of the reasons I'm interested...

Hello, I'm looking at buying a house, and I found one that's a good deal, except for one thing. In the bathroom There is a load bearing wall that was not possitioned correctly over the floor supports when the house was first built. Because of this, the floor in the bathroom sank three...

I'm sure there are a lot of programs that it runs just fine. I'm just currious if it's truely possible to use the official microsoft files instead of the open source copies to get maximum compatibility. I have a few applications I'd like to run that I know are quirky as hell: Orcad, ModelSim...

So, I'm looking at building a linux rig, but before I do, I'm currious about wine. It supposedly lets you run windows apps in linux, but from looking at their web site it looks like a signifficant portion of the API is still unimplemented. I read somewhere that you can use windows .dll files to...

anyone?

Hi. I'm looking at doing a build for a linux system. I would like to build a uATX linux system. (Haven't decided the flavor yet. I'm new to linux) Anyways, I want to keep the system low cost. In the spirit of that, I would like to use an integrated graphics board. I haven't decided intel or amd...

Also, please look into Linux compatibility for the motherboards. I want to build a low cost mATX linux system with (maybe?) an integrated graphics chipset, but I don't want compatibility issues. I don't know what platform to go for because I don't know if any of the recent chipsets have decent...

Did anyone else notice that flash memory has almost doubled in price in the past two weeks? What's up with that?

Do I unbind TCP/IP on both NICs? Does NetBEUI work well? My primary (internet) network is 100Mbps, but my secondary is 1Gb. Does that matter? What about playing Unreal Tournament on the LAN? Where will that traffic go?

I've got several computers all running Windows xp. They all have 2 NICs in them. Right now I'm only using one of the NICs and they're all connected to the same network which is also connected to the internet. What I want to do is hook up a second network between all my computers and when one...
