Have vertical siding, want horizontal. Can I cover the existing siding or do I need to remove and start over?

Saturday, December 22nd, 2007
james o asked:


Currently have vertical cedar siding (rabbet edge). Want horizontal siding (synthetic or cedar). I could reuse the existing siding, but it would take a LOT of time.

I will be doing all of the work myself.

log.abit confused?

Friday, December 21st, 2007
4dimensions? asked:


3log(b2)x=log(b2)8
can i just move the left side to the right like this:
3=[log(b2)8]/[log(b2)x]
so
3=log(b2)[8-x]
then:
2^3=8-x…….but if this way is right then x would be undefined, so i though of another way to do it:
log(b2)(x^3) = log(b2)8
cancle the logs:
x^3=8
x=2
how come this way works? couls some one explain this to me, thanks
oooo i got it so the first part i can use negative?(subtraction?

“hanging” things from vinyl siding?

Monday, December 17th, 2007
Ferne asked:


We are vinyl sided…I want to hang some flowers but would have to screw hangers/screws through the vinyl right? Isn’t there a better way without damage to the siding? There’s no wood showing any longer.

Overriding log in?

Sunday, December 16th, 2007
Debbie G asked:


Amongst my angst to destroy unnecessary bulk on my computer, I decided to fool around with certain folders and buttons in control panel. As a result, I am locked out of the administrative account (my side) and must log in like one may do at school (Username, password; not on the welcoming screen, though. This box just appears when you turn the computer on). I can’t do ANYTHING with the side I’m on, I’m stuck. If I press ‘windows’ and ‘L’, a box appears and it says: This computer is in use or has been blocked. Only JEANNIE/ANNA, or an administrator can unlock this computer. It is followed by two type in boxes that say USERNAME: and PASSWORD:.

Is there any way I can override this so I can log into my administrator account and change this?

I’d truly love for someone to be specific as to how to solve this dopy dilemma of mine as I am illiterate when it comes to these matters.

Thank you.

Cheryl

I have cedar siding that was primed last year with an oil based primer?

Friday, December 14th, 2007
Ever M asked:


I want to paint it with a latex paint this year but have heard that if primer is not painted over within 2 weeks that it will not adhere paint correctly. Do I need to sand the old primer and reprime or can I just reprime?

Should I Vinyl Side My House Or Fix and Repaint The Cedar Siding?

Wednesday, December 12th, 2007
Jim M asked:


My wife and I live in a tudor style house that has some stucco on the front and cedar siding around the sides and back. The cedar siding has some cracks in maybe 10 boards on the back (much sun exposure) and a couple other boards on the side. The siding also could use a paint job. The thing is, we are thinking of selling the house in a couple of years and aren’t sure if we should invest in new vinyl siding or if we should have some of the existing cedar replaced and the whole house painted. We are thinking if we go this route it would cost around 1/4 as much as residing the whole house in vinyl. However, many houses around us have vinyl siding and we think it would resell much easier if we opted for the new siding. Any opinions?

Software that allows others to log on and view your screen as you work??

Wednesday, December 12th, 2007
health1_au asked:


I am an instructor and want to allow students to log onto my screen as I go through their online assignments and (as I) comment on them (I use the comment function of MS word for this). I want to set up a running blog- or chat-style commentary on one side of the screen for students, and/or me, to also use. I want to allow them to see my screen, a la NetOP, but not have access to my files or the ability to operate my computer (NetOP allows full control). Basically, I want them to have screenshots that update rapidly in real-time, plus the chat-style session on one side… they’ll probably have to log in using my IP address. What software can make this happen?
