Patching an uneven gap


I'd like to patch the a large crack in my sidewalk. However, the gap is deep in some areas (3 inches) and very shallow in others (1/2 inch and less). I know I should have gravel in the mix for deep repairs.

So, for this, do I mix two batches of concrete at the same time, and plop the with-gravel mix in and layer the no-gravel mix on top of it?

I hate my home


Hello. I am new here. I am just looking for some peace and quiet and I found this website.

I live in an apartment (which I hate) with my 15 year old son. We live downstairs. Someone new has moved in right above us with two little kids and they are so noisy I can't stand it. They constantly jump, run, bang, slam, ect ... I notice my ceiling fan and light fixtures wobbling from time to time. I am disabled with daily pain and etc. I have a headache everyday due to this noise and my son suffers from migranes.

I have spoken to her and she wasn't very nice. I then went to the office several times and speak to the manager yesterday. I don't know if she will do anything or not. I finally have had it today (after the noise got worse last night) and called the person above the manager. I have not heard back yet. Isn't a home supposed to be where you are happy?

staining laminate cabinets


I have removed the old paint and primer off my laminate kitchen cabinets. I have a beautiful red oak Pergo floor, so I do not want to paint the cabinets. I want to stain them. Now from a test I did , I lightly sanded the laminate cabinet door. Then I put a red oak stain on it and it seems to be taking it. Over time I am not sure if this will all wear off from cleaning, wiping the cabinets. Will some type of polyurathaine ( I know I spelled that wrong) or a sealer work and stick to the stained laminate? The stained color I have acheived is perfect? Can anyone help? or has actully done this?

nicotene


Ihave been a smoker for a number of years. About a year ago, I quit. Now my wood coffe table and end tables have a coat of nicotene on them. Furniture polish won't remove it (really makes it worse) so is there any remedy for that other than buying new ones?

Lights will not turn off!


I've been upgrading my outlets and light switches. Everything was going fine until yesterday. I replaced the outlet and light switch in my guest bathroom, and 3 electrical outlets in the living room. When I turned the circuit breaker back on the check my work, I noticed that the living room lights came on. I figured I had accidently left them on, so I went to turn them off, but they would not go off! They are permanently on. They were working fine until yesterday. What could have happened?

Any ideas? Any suggestions?
