During DIY I accidentally cut deep into one of my fingernails (fortunately there was no injury to my finger itself). A big piece of nail could get torn off if I do not protect it somehow.
Is there a good practice how to protect it?

It has to do with Oliver Cromwell...On 20 April 1653 he dismissed the Rump Parliament by force, setting up a short-lived nominated assembly known as the Barebones Parliament, before being invited by his fellow leaders to rule as Lord Protector of England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland from 16 Decem...
@ChrisCudmore I'll admit I'm somewhat of a believer in it's beneficial affects on lung cancer. I'm not going to go as far as to say it's a cure all, but my father in law was supposed to die years ago and he hasn't croaked yet...
My data set is essentially a table in a table structure: I would like each record from the database to be represented on two table rows ( since that on one row the page would be too wide ).
Originally I started out with nested table approach in html/css but I feel this got really messy - so I s...
I love CSS, but the box model really screwed up when they didn't replace all the layout capabilities of tables. I banged my head against the wall for a long time trying to vertically align two adjacent elements to the bottom so they appeared to be joined to the table below.
In the end, I just put a table around my table and took too aspirin for the headache.
They failed significantly on the "Make the common, easy." rule.
If I have a containing div, and then a three column layout inside, I should be able to height:inherit; all three, and have them all grow to the rendered size of the container.
But no, I have to put magic spacing divs in there to make everything grow.
@NiallC. he didn't delete anything, he's saying "Q: what are you checking in the binary search? A: if you see any weird readings"
I would have pointed out that a dryer was likely on a dedicated circuit, but it seemed irrelevant since I disagreed that you should be checking for a ground/neutral short at all
A binary search makes sense when you have a larger circuit with a wiring fault, but unlike in programming, it's difficult to identify the middle of an electrical circuit without the walls opened up. So the standard answer would be to trip the breaker, identify everything on that circuit, and then start testing at every point.
From what I understand the code usually discusses things like fire rating (not specific thickness) as they relate to required material, and also the fastener pattern and what thickness to use versus stud spacing.
However, I've also heard that 5/8" is specifically mentioned by dimension for use a...
@NiallC. would you feel better if I took away my +1? I also +1'd Shirlock who's at +7 and he ended his answer with "I've got to think about this one a bit more..."
WTF. I told him to check the voltage against a nearby water pipe. and (s)he says "There isn't a cold pipe in the room except the fitting for the washer.". Huh?! So... you can't use that, because???
Next question will be "How do I check the batteries in my multimeter, with my multimeter?"
Even if we presume that his hot shorts to ground when connected (and his breaker didn't trip/house didn't burn down) we wouldn't expect full potential but some transformation LESS than 240V
@Tester101 excellent comment. If he's doing it across the washer leads that could change everything
question: Im planning to finish my basement and was considering putting up 1.5" XPS board against the concrete foundation, and then 2x4 studs spaced 1/2" away from the board and batt insulation between the studs. I believe that the XPS board acts as a vapour barrier and I should not put up one on the warm side of the studs - correct?
I'm re-insulating a room in my house from the inside. I've read that polyisocyanurate (polyiso) rigid foam insulation is the best R-value, so I plan on using that.
Details:
The house was built in 1955 in Camrose, Alberta, Canada. And the previous wall was insulated with fibreglass batting with...
rigid board along with batts seems preferable to me since that way I don't have to worry about compromising the vapour barrier if I ever run new cables, etc. also keeps all of the possible moisture away from the back of the insulation batts
cool, that's what I needed to know! im getting a plumber to rough in a basement washroom while he is ripping up the rest of my sewer so I just need to know what Im putting against the wall so I can place the flange properly
@Tester101 I doubt it because kerdi is not designed for constant water contact (as you would expect with a foundation wall)
@Steven if you're offsetting the framing from the XPS boards I would consider installing some sort of circulating fan for the cavity between the wall and the foundation
Im also not sure how much a fan would help - will need to double check with inspector but I believe I am required to put firestop every 10' between studs and between joists and top plate
But he used two laser levels for the channel. One clipped to the channel mounted on the wall to give height (z), and another projected in the x and y planes for alignment.
Then he worked from the far wall towards the Z-laser, so he could line up the channel right on the beam.
ok good to know - I was trying to find some other sources so I could try and price this thing out - for now just using retail prices from homedepot as a worst-case scenario
I won't get into whether this particular name is offensive or not, but both Shadow Wizard and Rosinante seem to be of the opinion that this is 2012 and not the Victorian era, and so such words should be overlooked. While that stance can be justified in chat/speech/private lives, etc., I believe t...
@NiallC. If they choke up 2 inches from the head of the hammer and try to punch the nails, we go out to the parking lot, bring back a rock, and replace their hammer. We tell them: "If you don't understand leverage and the swinging action, this is all you need."
