dishwasher woes

Seem to have gotten myself in a bit of a mess. I ordered my dishwasher, giving up probably 25% of my cupboard space. I would swear I had measured it months ago and there was sufficient room.. Never swear! I am 2 inches short of having enough space for it. So now I have 3 options 1. Move the sink ove...

glass block window replacement?

I'm going out on a limb, saw a beautiful setup in a house with glass block over the shower surround in the exterior wall. I have a crank window there that doesn't. How safe would it be to replace it with glass block?

( a molly bolt) That said, they didn't work well in a stick house that we later found out had a moisture and mold issue.. In that place, they would almost hammer throu...

They are really cool, unless they are falling off the tree onto your car! they are a hedge apple.. Very often, a Hedgeapple is incorrectly referred to as a Hedge Ball, Horse Apple, Green Brains, Monkey Balls or Mock Orange.
