Is there any way to estimate the exterior sq. footage of your house if you know the interior sq. footage?

Or would you just have to measure everything?
Are you planning on painting? If you know the height of your ceilings (e.g., 10 foot), then just count the number of floors you have. Multiply by ceiling height plus 1 foot, then multiply by the distance around your house. That will get close enough for rough estimate. If you are buying siding, then I would actually measure.

How many litres of air does a single airbed hold?

I am trying to find out what would be the most efficient air pump to buy to pump up my airbeds when camping, whether i should go for an electric one or a hand pump. The electric pump sold in halfords claimed to be able to inflate 300 litres of air a minute, but i dont know what that means in real terms. Does anyone know roughly how many litres a single airbed holds?
That means it would fill 150 2 liter pop bottle in a minute. Now just compare your bed with 150 pop bottles and you get an idea of how fast it will fill. Assuming that your bed is 4

ANTIQUE DOME TOP TRUNK?

I bought this trunk today and i want to get it back to its orginial shape. I think it is a dome top but im not 100% sure. Everything looks orginial (minus where they painted the metal) and the inside liner. I think it is fake because inside the secret compartment it is lined with blue striped fabric. should i tear out the paper or leave it? I have no idea who made it and really want to know but i have no idea where to look. Any info on these tyes of trunks and where i should look for the label (it is not on the outside unless they painted over it)
I have a dome top trunk. A lot of people reline the inside with wall paper. if it is in good shape or you do not like the paper that is there then change it to what you like. the label is usually on the inside of the lid in the middle. These can be found online,



All that I have done to my trunk is to make a new support for the back of the trunk for the lid henge to fit into and to refinish the wood strips on the outside.%0D%0A

Can I use a SUN OVEN

Yes, a SUN OVEN can be used on a clear winter day. The most important factor in using a SUN OVEN is the brightness of the sun, not the outside air temperature. Often, a 40-degree, clear, low-humidity day will allow food to cook faster than a 100-degree day with high humidity. The SUN OVEN has been used very successfully at the base camp of a Mt. Everest expedition where the temperatures are often well below zero. There are, however, more cooking hours available in the summer than in the winter. In the summer, it is not unusual to cook from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, whereas during the early winter, effective cooking is limited to 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM.

I keep drilling screws in wood and keeps slipping, why?

Please, do not be mean or rude. I am learning about all this stuff. Advice would be great, please!



Hi, I am drilling screws in thick wood in order to make a little outdoor house. However, every time I drill in the screws past a certain point in the wood, it keeps slipping and strips the screw. I mean I am a pretty strong guy and I am sure I am holding it pretty tight. Not even my buddies can do it.....



Is there a special type of drill I need? or maybe I just need a new screw? I tried different screws, and they all strip. I mean it screws into the wall pretty easy at first, but after it just wont stick to the screw and starts stripping.
Drill pilot holes first, using a drill smaller in diameter than the screw.



That should do it.

I live in a one story single family house and there are houses in the neighborhood where I live that are getting second floors all of the time and I am just curious as to,how does the first floor support and hold all of the weight of a second floor sitting right on top of it.



I am in the basement right now and we have a lot of heavy furniture up stairs and how does the first floor level... UGH!!
Simple answer, whether it is a one story or five story house it is the same standard construction. There are engineers, if something needs to be reinforced it should be, but overall, adding a second story will be fine. Usually floors are designed to carry a thousand pounds a square foot, should be safe unless they have lead furniture.
Adding supports, or whatever is necessary to keep the house structurally sound.

I have tree roots in my outside sewer line. I had roto rotor out to check it out and the guy gave me a quote?

I have tree roots in my outside sewer line. I had roto rotor out to check it out and the guy gave me a quote of $3285 to resolve the problem without a warranty. The same guy gave me a quote of $4725. to replace the entire outside pipes. He showed me a root inside my pipe with the camera at apout 37 feet inside the pipe. Is there a cheaper way to resolve this issue? He is estimating that to replace the entire outside pipes would cost between $5000 to 7ooo. My line has backed up two times in the last week.
First of all, I would call a LOCAL rooter company. National companies are always higher than the guy who lives in the city. Rotor Rooter wanted $159 to come to the house. I had the sewer cleared for $100 by a local guy.

Bedroom colour scheme question?

My carpet will be a light beige, the bedframe and headboard will be oak, I want the walls to be light, very pale, beachy blue. I would like my bed sheets and duvet to be white, not cream, and I would like to accent with orange and purple. Do you think these colours will all work together? I was not sure about the purple but i really want a dark, plum-y coloured painting... So any purple would be dark (almost like plum), and the orange would be relatively bright.

Please tell me what you think and if I need to change any of my plans, Thanks!!
A few things to consider.



White on beige will make the beige look dirty. I suggest you go with a bone for the bedding. Once you start mixing other colors with the beige and white it will transform the look. Beige and white work fine alone but not adding the other colors.



Blue plum and orange are complimentary. You want to choose a cool blue that has some purple tones to it. http://img.hgtv.com/HGTV/2005/07/12/july note the painting in this image. Also see how the beige in the hall and on the chair in the living room throw the scheme off.

I saw a bedroom painted like this and it looked pretty good. The walls also had a very very large zig zag strip painted on them for accent with pink and some other color. It looked pretty cool and the girl really liked it. After it is painted, find a strip of royal blue material of some sort and lay it out on the bed to see how you like the look before investing in the bedding. It may look fantastic but if you don

Plants grow a lot better in warm places because this is one of the things that they need to grow. Photosynthesis takes a better effect in warm places so this helps the plants grow.
Both. There are plants that will not grow at all in the tropics, and plants that will not grow in temperate or cold climates. Plants have done a fine job of adapting themselves to were ever they happen to be: Cold, hot, even under water or ice. Photosynthesis takes place in sunlight whether it is hot or cold.
