When performing outdoor plumbing work or other digging projects that may affect pipes underground, it's important to know where the pipes are and aren't. One way to find copper pipes without busting up concrete or accidentally running into pipes while digging through dirt is to use a metal detector. Many metal detectors have settings that allow you to determine what type of metal is being detected. For instance, if you want to find only copper pipes, there's a copper setting that will tune out everything else. Metal detecting can help prevent costly accidents because you'll be sure where the copper…
Often serving as the focal point of the living room or family room, a fireplace turns into an eyesore if it has crumbling stone. Just as with bricks, stones are installed on a fireplace with mortar.

No building expertise is required to fix the fireplace on your own.

If the contractor made provisions for adding a bathroom in the basement during the construction of your home, you’ll find plumbing “stubs” in the floor of the basement that will accommodate a shower, sink or commode. In a home where the main drain is above the basement floor level, or in a basement without drainage provisions, you can still add a shower. You’ll need to install an up-flush system, however, to pump the water from the shower into your home's main drain.
Installing a deck requires the building of a structural frame to support the joists and deck floor. Posts provide the major sources of support for this framework, and poured concrete footings support these posts. If you decide to move or remove a deck from its position, one way to get rid of the posts is to simply cut the posts back to ground level and leave the footings in place. If you want to be able to dig into that area of the lawn again, though, you must remove the footings.
Few would select orange carpet when given an option, but some people are forced to decorate around an orange floor covering left by another. If you move into a new house or apartment only to find that one of your floors is covered with orange, don’t feel that your room is destined for ugliness. Instead, center your decor around this orange and make it an asset instead of a decorative problem.
Dewberry (Rubus flagellaris) is a trailing vine plant that produces late summer berries. These juicy black fruits are 1/2 to 3/4 inch long and are eaten raw or made into jams and jellies. The green leaves of the dewberry are made into herbal teas. The slender branches are armed with green or red curved thorns. Dewberry bushes are found growing wild in open fields, woodlands and at the edge of forests. The blossoms appear in May and June, which makes the best time to transplant your dewberry plants in the early spring while the vines are still dormant.

A clogged toilet is an unpleasant occurrence that nearly everyone has to deal with on occasion. A foreign object flushed down the toilet or even just too much toilet paper can block the drainage pipe and cause the water in your toilet to back up.

Digital photographs are made up of thousands of tiny dots called pixels. Each pixel is the same size as all the other pixels, but each has its own address and color. When the pixels are lined up in the grid specified by their address, the result is a picture. To enlarge a picture, you can't enlarge the pixels, you have to add more pixels. Enlargement software guesses at the color of the pixels being added. Usually the guess isn't perfect, and the result is blur. The best thing you can do to avoid blur is to use good enlargement software.
