Either retrieve or breakup paper towels utilizing a snake that you can purchase at Walmart. I've got a 50' snake, comes in handy with clogged pipe drains as well. If this does not work >>615566 would definitely be effective.

Do you actually believe this anon is going all out by purchasing a circular saw or angle grinder for this particular task? God forbid this inexperienced anon start cuttin utilizing a circular saw. I have many power tools, including a circular saw, which I have a healthy respect of. I feel more comfortable using my chain saw than my circular saw. Lets keepit as simple and easy as possible, therefore reducing the risk of bodily injury.

Forgot to forewarn you, be careful alum. bites like a mf. Anyone that messes with and manipulates sheet metal for a livelihood has got some brass balls.

Not everybody is a rocket scientist be tolerant.

Purchase some sheet metal snips and drill at harbour freight. Drill holes as close together on lines until u can wedge yur snips in enough to start a cut. I would place a piece of board against the other side of the alum. for support while drilling. It's easy and a drill is a good investment beats doing things old school "by hand," any day.

There is nothing wrong with op's wall, all walls possess studs in which to attach things to, such as eye bolts, screws, fasteners etc...The trick is locating the stud which is not a difficult task to accomplish.

Not correct the alibaba.com containers are already set up with amenities like plumbing, insulation, elec., etc and guaranteed for 30 years. The shipping is included and the pricing average at about 1.5 to 2k. A manufactured home cost-well-may as well construct a home at that price and I would not even consider an used mobile home, due to the obvious wear and tear they endure.

That is correct someone has done their homework and you can stack them any way feasible...great alternative other than constructing a home at an exorbitant cost. Am installing a couple of them on some rural property I own.

>£8k
I was looking into this very subject recently, in lieu of building a log cabin on my 30 acres rural property. Came across a website alibaba,com out of China, they have a myriad list of suppliers at varying prices and you can even purchase a portable an affordable solar home lighting system..seems reasonable to me, but idk wtf £8k is. Everything is included in the containers, elec, plumbing, etc. and usually guaranteed for 30 years. I would recommend a storage container where a whole side can be lifted like a garage door system, that way you can enjoy the great outdoors at leisure. If you contact one of the suppliers they will respond with a prompt email. America does not seem to offer this living style option unless you are will to pay an exorbitant price. Good luck

Materials: Chalk, hammer, razor, and a straw.
>pulverize chalk with hammer into fine particle size powder
>use razor to makes nice neat rows out of chalk powder
Last step most vital part so pay particular attention
>snort up all those neat rows of chalk powder utilizing the straw
Good luck and happy snorting

Common sense dictates that you must possess a manual. From the questions you are asking the manual would of probably answered. Luv that toolbox now go get that manual.

honestly i dont mind ground up, its just when certain extention cords and appliances ONLY work face up is what irritates me.

things like kill-a-watt meter. if outlet is upsidedown you cannot read the display. Extension strips like in my original post. the wire has to loop around and back which is severe wear on the cord and looks ugly.

it fails code with it right side up? fuck that.

in the house I live in now, all the first and second floor plugs are upside down. while the finished basement is the correct orientation. makes no sense.

does anyone else get pissed when they install outlets upside down and then shit like this happens?

In one of the places I lived at, I flipped them all to the correct version so extention cords actually sat properly

well it was worth a shot. thanks. i just get pissed because I have no way of knowing what the actually temperature is. either of the room or what each number on the dial corresponds to temperature-wise.

Anyone know how to install a thermostat on a wall gas heater?
Its a Westwood model from the 1960s.

Right now all I have is a rotated dial from 0-10
