Okay, now that I have pretty much decided to convert to projector, I need suggestions on how to spend $5000 to get the best possible projector and screen. Below are a couple of photos of the room, along with key characteristics/dimensions: Distance from Viewing Wall to Sofa Seat Back: 14.5 ft...
We just moved into a new house. Below is a photo of the stacked stone fireplace over which I plan to place a Samsung UN46D8000 (Dimensions 41"W x 23.6"H x 1.2"D). However, I need help in determining which mount is going to work best for me. Ideally, I would like to avoid having to drill into the...
If I do rope lighting down the post, should I fasten it to the post in any way (other than at the top and bottom - to keep the even spiral spacing), and if so, what would I use?
When I use the overhead light I get too many bugs, not to mention it's not very pleasing. I was thinking of wrapping the post there in Christmas-style lights, but can you find those anywhere during this time of year? Any other lighting ideas for this area?
Question for those with 2 or more kids… We have a newer 3-bedroom house. We also have a 4-month old boy, and are expecting a little girl in August (the boy was adopted). In the house, my wife and I are occupying 1 bedroom, the boy is in his own room (the nursery), and we have a furnished...
I just moved into a brand new house (new construction). I had ordered a new fridge, which just arrived. I'll mention there is a simple Culligan water filter installed under the sink, along with a goose neck faucet for drinking water. I see blue hose running from the Culligan system. In the spot...

It's a deep garage. In fact, as soon as you step out into the garage, I've got a refrigerator sitting immediately to the left on the same wall as the door.
I have a problem. Just bought a brand new house. However, 1 problem… The utility room is right off of the garage, so there’s a door from the utility room directly to the garage. The room is similar to THIS where the door opens up into the room. The problem is, the area is not very deep, and...
Thanks for the great responses, guys! I finally took the car in yesterday. I walked up to the service desk and handed them my keys. A few minutes later, the guy pulls my car into the garage and asks me if I hear the noise. To my dismay, I hear nothing now. After a few minutes of explaining how I...
I've got a 2002 Hyundai Accent with 47K miles that just started making a noise. I'm pretty sure all the belts are fine, so I'm not sure what this could be. Thought someone might be able to take a listen and let me know if it's indicative of anything. I recorded about 30 seconds of me starting...
