In a photography video I saw in class the other night, the lady used a vinyl pull down window shade and used several colors of paints and made a beautiful backdrop. Has anyone seen this video or used this idea to make a backdrop? I’m on a budget and thought this might work and allow me to paint, my other hobby.

I tried a headset with it and i am still getting the skip so i know my speakers are ok. i have plenty of space on my hard drive and memory. I am at a loss as to what to do. Any suggestions?? i use windows xp Pro…Vinyl AC’97 Codec driver

I have a sticker from a college i want to apply to my car. The sticker goes on the inside of the back window, however i don’t want to take off the defroster when i remove it. I also have a school parking pass that needs to be applied to the front wind shield. Is there anything i can apply these stickers to so that they can be removed more easily. like a clear sheet of vinyl or something along those lines?

Our house is 1.5 stories that we bought 10 years ago. The addition is our kitchen and living room and was built on 15-20 years before we bought it. The basement was under the original part and was only 6 ft high walls. The kitchen and living room were only on tubes. We have since put a brand new foundation under the kitchen/living room part and blocked up the original foundation to have 8ft walls.
Our problem is that the kitchen is ALWAYS 2-4 degrees colder than the rest of the house (we have an oil furnace forced air, thermotsat is in the living room on the wall between the kitchen and living room). There are 2 registers in the kitchen.
When we stand at the sink (which is on the wall that is facing where the outside of the house would have been befrore the addition), we can feel cold air coming in around our feet. The inside of the cupboards are freezing that are on that wall and the wall last year cracked from top to bottom in behind the cupboards.
We have checked the basement and no cold air is coming in from outside, as well have checked the crawl space and it’s all insulated.
My guess is that when the addition was built, something wasn’t done right and this is how the cold air is getting in. We have done renovations with new windows and vinyl siding and still has not helped. We have had carpenters look at it and they can’t see a reason why either. The wall is insulated as we have seen the insulation from when we renovated our kitchen with new cabinets, countertop, etc.

If anyone has any ideas they would be greatly appreciated. I’m tired of freezing my feet of in the kitchen and of possibly wasting money on oil. Thanks
I forgot to mention that after the new foundation was added and the old foundation blocked higher, that we had all of our ductwork replaced and installed fresh and the furnace is only 7 years old.
Thanks for the info so far. The cabinets and where the cold air are coming from are not on an outside wall. They are facing where the outside wall would have been before the addition. The outside walls are to the left, right and behind where the cold air is coming from. Our basement has open ducts for heat to circulate and is a bit cooler in the basement, but not freezing cold. About 10-15C.

We have sprayed the expanding spray foam along the basment in between the house and foundation along the whole perimeter of the house as well.

saurin13 asked:


I have a double pane window that is many years old and very cheap (came with the house, maybe 1/32″ panes). I want to change the windows because the noise from outside and nearby train is very easy to hear. The two options I have are: full replacement of the window with new vinyl frames to a double pane window (1/8″, 1/8″+laminate+1/32″) or just replace the double pane with something better (1/8″, 1/8″+laminate+1/32″). The price difference is that the second option is about 25% less than getting it with brand new frames. Also the first option is with LowE3 and a super-spacer. The second option uses LowE2 and aluminum spacer.

I am concerned that getting the second option, with just new windows and using my existing frames and panes (which are in decent condition) will not be sealed properly as the complete replacement.

Any recommendations?

I only paid $500! It needed a new passenger rear window-I bought one at a junk yard for $35 and put it in already. The car has a vinyl top-What works best to clean it? Also there are a few rust spots on the car-what is the best way to remove? Painting-I would like to paint it myself-would that be dumb? Also, once I remove the rust-how bad would it look if I touch up the spots with GM touch up paint? The car looks fine-the only part that really needs painting is the hood-it is all discolored-looks like paint has chipped off or something. Also-the window motors are messed up in all windows except the driver front. To roll the windows up or down-you have to cross these wires one way and then switch them to roll the other way. How difficult would it be to replace them? How much do you think it would cost. I love to do things myself-I would just like advice before I get started and mess something up.Thanks. I can upload pictures if necessary.
