Open Question: How do you shorten faux wood blinds with two strings? and more... Open Question: How do you shorten faux wood blinds with two strings?We have two kinds of faux wood blinds in our house. I've already figured out how to shorten the smaller blinds with a single pull string (pull plug out, untie not, pull out slats and retie knot at bottom). However, the wider blinds have two strings with a plug at the bottom, which contains a small pulley wheel mechanism in it. When looking at it, you can't snip the string and knot the two strings together because it won't slide through the wheel when lifted up or down. So how do you shorten it? Is there a way that the wheel mechanism can pop out? I can't figure out how to remove the extra slats because only the string can fit through, not the entire plug with the wheel. I've searched all over on-line and haven't found any answers. And unfortunately, the instructions have already been tossed out. In my last house, all the blinds consisted of single strings. Not double! Please help if you can! Thanks! Open Question: High and low spots (not air) under drywall joint tape?I applied the tape coat using a generous amount of mud, placing paper tape onto it, and then running my knife across in both directions. I applied a good amount of pressure as I ran my knife over it to make sure I was squeezing out the mud. After it dried, I noticed high and low spots under the tape. When I touch them, they do not feel like air bubbles (I cannot press on them). Is it normal to not have a completely smooth/level surface? Did I apply too much mud and not evenly squeeze it out? Again, I pressed pretty evenly and pretty hard. Will it be a problem or will it be leveled/covered with the next coats? I am planning on applying a texture (it is a ceiling). Thanks for the answers. Again, there is no air under the high spots. There is also no mud over the tape yet, so I can't sand it. It just seems like some uneven mud under the tape in some areas. (Keep in mind, these high and low spots aren't overly drastic. They are in a few areas along the length of a 28 ft. tapered seam). My fear in ripping the tape off and doing it again is that it will happen again. I don't know that I will be able to get a perfectly even layer of mud no matter how much a level it. (Although thinking about it, I probably did go over the tape too many times).

What do I do/?I have a natural gas hot water heating system. It appears to be running correctly, but some of the base-board heaters are not as hot as others. Are the cooler ones working? The heater that appears to be cool runs the length of a room and is located beneath two large windows. Open Question: Can a cordless drill do as much as a corded drill?My 18v cordless drill struggles through masonry. I'm wanting to get a new drill and am wondering if this lack of umph has anything to do with my drill being cordless, or if it's too low a voltage for this work. I prefer cordless drills but which would be best for me? More Recent Articles
