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???

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?

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.

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…

Need Help!!!!!!!!!!!?

Question by peanut: Need Help!!!!!!!!!!!?
I am getting married in four months and I need help with my favors. I was going to make picture key chains. I have a laminating machine so i was going to use index cards or something and put a picture on one side our names and date on the other side and laminate it. I was going to leave room at the top to punch a hole in it to put the ring in it. Does that sound like a good idea? I need some suggestions. We are kinda tight on money also.
We are doing candy also but my parents already bought the keyrings and laminating machine. What if i use a picture of something that goes with the theme and maybe put our names and date on them. I have to use those keyrings for something.

Q&A: Small 2X2 patch in my foundation that I need to sand down. Is there any way besides renting a floor sander?

Alan — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 14:44:28 +0000

Question by srgraham14: Small 2X2 patch in my foundation that I need to sand down. Is there any way besides renting a floor sander?
We are putting down laminate and this patch is about 1/4in higher than the rest of the floor. I hate to rent a huge machine for such a small spot. Is there anything like a grinder or dremel type tool that I can use instead?
Yes, it is a foundation not a basement

Best answer:

Answer by Mike G
Use a floor sander. Is this a basement slab? I’m sure it isn’t a foundation.

Q&A: I need a heavy duty sewing machine! HELP!?

Alan — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 08:45:13 +0000

Question by Clare K: I need a heavy duty sewing machine! HELP!?
I have a business where I sew recycled magazine pages together in between vinyl sheets. I recently bought a laminating machine and now i laminate the magazine pages. I sew them into wallets and my machine just isn’t cutting it anymore. It binds up and snaps the thread and its just a nightmare. Its not that I need a bigger needle, but I need to be able to get through the laminated page without any issue! I need a machine that will sew the plastic without any problems anymore! It may be that I need to upgrade something, i don’t know much about machines so i don’t know. The machine that I have now is a brother pacesetter pc-2800. Thanks!

Answer by Linda S
First, if your current model has an optional walking foot, start using that. Also try a teflon foot or a roller foot. If these don’t help and the machine still groans and complains, the machine isn’t strong enough for the job. You will likely need an industrial machine with a separate motor/sewing head/table set up. These machines are far more powerful than any home machine you can find. Juki, Pfaff and Singer make some good quality industrial machines made for sewing heavy materials. An upholstery machine might also be a good idea, many are made for sewing through upholstery weight Naugahyde and vinyl, and you laminated sheets are likely a similar weight to these materials. Your machine should have a walking foot or compound feed to help feed he sticky material under the foot.

You should look for websites or dealers that specialize in heavy duty industrial machines. Allbrands sells an expensive range of industrial machines and that site will give you an understanding of the price and size of these machines. it’s best to find a dealer who specializes in industrial machines to help you find the machine best suited for your needs. I bought my industrial machines through a dealer and he keeps them in tip top running order.

Unless you are well informed about machines, don’t buy from E-bay. Many machine advertised as “industrial strength” are nothing more than old household machines being sold with a meaningless label. They won’t handle your laminated pages, no matter what the ad copy says and no matter how much positive feedback the seller has. They won’t be able to handle heavy materials the same way a true industrial can. Watch out, almost all these so called “industrial strength” machines are scams.

Here’s allbrands industrial machine home page for a start: http://www.allbrands.com/products/abc0070.html
Here’s a page with a couple machines made for the upholstery industry, the second machine is the excellent pfaff 1245 compound needle feed machine: http://www.chholderby.com/IndSew/Heavy%20Duty%20Industrial%20Sewing%20Machines.htm

I Have A Laminator From Target And I Bought Pouches For It But It Says I Need A Carrier For It Do I?

Alan — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 14:01:59 +0000

Yes- most require the paper pouch… read the instructions that came with the laminator. It will tell you if you need one for sure or not. If it says to use one then you should- otherwise you could ruin everything.
