Question by Lainy: need help with asthma problems?
we bought our ranch style home 4 years ago. before we moved in we had all the carpet replaced with new carpet. the apartment we lived in before we bought the house had hard wood floors. stupid me thought carpet was better.
now after living in our house for 4 years both of my kids and i are having very bad problems with wheezing, coughing, sneezing, and both kids are on inhalers. the doctor said is looks like that are allergic to the dust mites and it is making them asthmatic.
i can’t afford to replace my carpet is there some type of program that will help with the cost so i can replace the carpet with laminate wood flooring?
in the mean time i also have a bissell pro heat carpet cleaning machine and just last night i bought the bissell mutli allergen cleaning solution and today i am cleaning all of my carpets. after they dry i will wet dust my entire house. i bought the kids new pillows and special covers for the pillows and special covers for the mattress. i am doing all of the laundry and washing all of the bedding. what else can i do to help us breath better???

Best way to bind my book??? Please Help!?

Alan — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 14:53:22 +0000

Question by I Can’t Be Normal: Best way to bind my book??? Please Help!?
OK I’m trying to make and sell a type of book where the pages are laminated and are bound on a wire comb type spiral. I also want a thin cardboard type of front and back cover that is also punched to have the wire comb spiral through it. Is there a machine that I can have at home that can punch and bind the covers and pages? The book will only have 5-10 laminated pages and the front and back cover.

Also, what are those cardboard covers wrapped in? I mean, when I see notebooks or other books that have this cardboard type cover, they are wrapped in a big sticker type thing that is printed on. Can I print on those at home to have a cover for my book?

I know these are really ignorant and stupid sounding questions, but I don’t know the terms for any of this stuff or how they are used. Any help would be MUCH appreciated! I’m totally lost. lol

Answer by BOBO
I don’t know anything about book binding but you can watch these videos about book binding. That way you will probably find a way how to bind the book the way you want to. The link is – http://www.youtube.com/results?search_type=&search_query=book+binding+&aq=f
Hope I helped somehow. Good luck!

Q&A: Help! I need your opinions!?

Question by Missy M: Help! I need your opinions!?
Okay so I know that this isn’t prego related, but I tend to be in this section a lot and figured I’d post it here and get your opinons though I’m pretty sure what I should do… So today at work I’m using the laminator and I had to grab some sheets from the opposite side of the table that is pushed against the wall. I see when I go to take some that they are still in the wrapper and figure instead of pulling just what i need out I’ll take the wrapper off. So as I’m doing this I feel something hit my butt… okay what the heck, well it’s this 60 y/o maintance man here and he was carrying a box. Okay maybe he accidently did this? then he says “I couldn’t help but notice you were bent over a bit and had to” Umm WTF??? So I barely can even comprehend what just happened, and he turns around and walks back to where I was and says “you’re probablly too old for spankings right?” confused me “Yea….” then he say “oh I thought girls were never too old for spankings” what would you do?

Don’t buy a laminating kit. Go to a store and have it laminated. That’ll be really cheap or you can use contact paper on both sides.

Question by kaylee826: Algebra 2 help PLEASE! multiple choice?
A store owner bought a machine that laminates cards. The machine cost 00. Each laminated item costs the owner $.50, but he charges the customers .00 per item. How many cards must be laminated and sold before the owner makes a profit from the machine?
133
223
285
286

Best answer:

Answer by Diet_smartie
He makes a profit of 3.50 every time he sells an item.
So you divide 1000 by 3.5 to find the number of items he needs to sell to break even. I think the answer is 286.

Best answer:

4.00 – .50 = 3.50 (the amount of profit he makes each time)

1000/3.50 = 285.71

So about 286 cards

Need help stripping laminate flooring?

Alan — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 14:52:31 +0000

Question by srikseenappa: Need help stripping laminate flooring?
Pls answer my question ASAP.
My house is in a mess and I need to get it fixed ASAP.
I have hard wood laminate glued down in my foyer and kitchen.Area is a total of 450 sf.
I’m looking to replaace it with porcelain tiles as I have some water damage.
I have hired a contractor and he has no clue how to pull out the hard wood floor.
He tried chipping away the strips one by one. But it is an old hard wood floor and has been glued down real strong. Also the bottom portion of the wood strip breaks into individual square shaped ridges. So he tears of the top laminate first and then each 1″*1″ square piece has to be manually chipped. This is time consuming.
We rented a tile stripper machine from Lowes and that did not help either.
The contractor tells me that there is some machine that helps to do this pretty fast.
Do you know of any machine?
Do you suggest any different approach for stripping all the wood?
The contractor is from El Salvador and communication is a big hinderance.

Best answer:

Answer by lowman03
Your best bet is to install a hardi backer board over the flooring which is a cement board product and then install your ceramic tile over that..It would take days and alot of elbow grease to remove 450sf of hardwood flooring that is glued down. The hardi backer board or sometimes called durok can be purchased anywhere they sell ceramic tile. It comes in 1/4″ thick or 1/2.. Hope this helps…
