I’m sure you have already thought about window units, but have you considered a ‘split system’? Check out: http://www.oldhouseweb.com/how-to-advice/ductless-split-system-air-conditioners.shtml

I re-read the orig. post and I stand by the basics of my answer. I still think that he was asking about cubic yards rather than a measurement of area. However the details of how many cu ft his bag of compost contains must be determined by the OP.

Weight does not convert to a volume measurement without knowing what the volume of your 40# bag of soil mix is to start with. I would guess that a 40# bag may approximate one cu. ft. If that is the case, then it would take about 27 bags for one cu. yard, which is 27 cu.ft.

What you suggest is certainly possible, but it probably should not be the first door-hanging project that you tackle. Basically, I mean that this requires some construction and trim experience/knowledge to properly build an entrance door jamb which will adequately seal and support your door. I assume your experience in this area is somewhat limited, as it was necessary for you to ask the question. I am not criticising nor making light of your question, but just pointing out that it is on the high end of the DIY spectrum.

This type of mower is best suited to a level, uniform lawn and does not perform well where different varieties of grass and weeds grow at different rates. A rotary mower will usually give a more satisfactory cut in all but the most pristine lawns.

I think that drywall would give the best appearing solution to your problem, but as an alternative, you could cover the seams with lattice strips. Also pre-finished paneling is an option.

A ceiling fan may not be supported by an electrical box, but must be attached to proper structural components. Possibly Tapcon screws could be used to attach the fan hangar to the concrete ceiling panel. I am interested in reading other suggestions.

Many disposal units have an exposed shaft on the bottom of the case and a key with which you can turn the shaft to free up a jammed blade. Have you tried that yet??

Is the wall below the level of the pavement, holding fill under the slab?

Please tell us what was done for the $400 that the service shop charged. This will help us advise you. There is no need for us to suggest an action that has already been taken. (By the way first thought is that perhaps that the switch which keeps the engine from cranking when the blade is engaged may be out of adjustment or defective.)

You cannot remove the rust that is already inside the tank. The best you can do is to drain the condensation every day you use the compressor.

I would suggest that you go to a local home supply store such as Home Depot or Lowes and look over their selection of drawer guides. Perhaps you can find some that will fit your application without alteration of your present drawers.

If you have a shower caddy which meets your needs, I suggest that you use white (or whatever color is appropriate) silicon tub caulk as your adhesive. After application and tooling as necessary, use duct tape to hold the caddy in position till the caulk/adhesive is cured.

One way to check to see if the breaker is the problem would be to switch the circuit to another breaker of the same amperage. Only do this if you are experienced enough with household electrical service to feel comfortable working safely in the breaker box.

Building permit requirements vary by location. Check with the inspection authority for your area. (By the way, the use of punctuation greatly assists the readibility of your posts.)
