How do I unclog my dishwasher? Keeping this drain clear is important for the dishwasher to work well. If it's clogged, the pump can't pull much water & can't build up pressure to clean the dishes. |

How do I work around a tree in my fence line? What is your goal with the fence? Stop deer from eating your garden? Let you send your kids outside without worrying about them running in to the street? Block non-paying neighbor's view when nude sunbathing? |

How do I build a deck that is easy to take apart? What an interesting idea. I'll ponder it more. Have you ever seen this done for real? |

What “code” applies to projects that I do in my own home? @TEster101: The codes here tell me I can't do Oasis Design-style "radical greywater" + Joseph Jenkins "Humanure" toilets. Done right, this is better for the ecosystem and way cheaper than conventional systems. Besides safety, major factors in codes include the willingness of builders to implement those codes, bureaucracy's unwillingness to change. They are also focused on controlling professional builders who have no long-term interest in the success of the home, unlike the owner building her own home. |

What steps should I take when cabling a drain? You might try a live-culture cleaner like Bio-Clean (bio-clean.com). A plumber I worked with recommended it. |

Should I put weather stripping on my unsealed windows and doors? Did you mean "clear plastic window film"? You could improve this answer by linking to some products, perhaps on Wikipedia or Amazon, or by including some pictures. |

Is it safe to put a clothes washer outdoors? I was thinking I get an old unit off Craigslist, since it will probably age faster outdoors. |

What are the pros and cons of LED vs CFL vs incandescent bulbs for outdoor lighting? Do you plan to leave them on for a long time, or just for a few minutes at a time? |
