Wall Laminate Systems? Hello, I am looking to install several 5x10 pieces of commercial wall laminate across a straight run located in a luncheonette kitchen. My question is: Is there a system where I can snap the laminate into T joints without using adhesives? Someone recommended to use "H" molding to cover up the seams that would be present but they advised me that I would still need to use adhesives to lock the laminate in place. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
How should I attach wall molding for ceiling system to metal studs? I'm in the process of finishing my basement and only have the ceiling left to complete. I used metal studs for the framing and am using a metal grid system for a drop ceiling. How should I attach the wall molding to the walls? The manufacturer says to use nails, but that's obviously not an option with the metal studs. Would a drywall screw meant for metal framing work?
Why do some new shelf stereo systems have the power supply built into one of the speakers? I was at Bestbuy today and noticed that some of the mini systems from Philips and Panasonic have the power supply built into one of the speakers. In other words, you plug the speaker into the wall outlet and then run an extra wire to the control unit for power. Why not just keep the power supply inside the control unit where it belongs? I wanted to mount my system on the wall, but with this design, I'd have a fat power cord running to one of the speakers and an extra wire heading back to the control unit.

Setting Up My Home Theatre System Without Piercing The Wall? I have a 5-speaker home theatre system, and I need to place 2 of the speakers (the surround sound speakers) at the back of my bedroom, and about 6-7 feet off the ground. Unfortunately, I can't put any holes in the wall to place them against the wall, because I live in a rented apartment. Is there any way I can erect something to put the speakers that high WITHOUT damaging the wall of the room?

Do I need crushed stone/gravel under my retaining wall? I am rebuilding a wall next to my driveway out of the home depot block rocks/retaining wail rocks. The deal is, that the root system behind the wall has held it all together, so there won't be a lot of pressure. How necessary is doing compacted stone/gravel, and how deep if I'm going to? Thanks
Are there any PC to window vent systems? I got a high-end gaming rig that spews tons of heat. If it wasn't for the computer, the room temp would be optimal. Instead of wasting electricity with an AC, I want to vent the exhaust directly out a window or the wall with a duct system. Why not just open a window? Cause it's too hot outside. Before I go and try to build one, do any retail systems exist that can do this? Basically some sort of box, filter and exhaust duct.
Wall outlet fried old computer, brand new computer, then stereo system. Is the apartment complex liable? My brother just moved into this apartment complex in calgary. He plugged in his old computer into a wall socket and it immediately fried his computer, sending sparks out of the wall socket. He went that day and bought a brand new computer, and plugged it into the same wall socket. It blew the brand new computer up as well (luckily he had a warranty). Then the apartment manager came over and he then plugged in his stereo system to show the manager what would happen. It promtly blew the system as well. The apartment manager then plugged her curling iron into the wall and that blew as well. The landlord says he wont reimburse for the damages. I suggested small claims court action to my brother, but can the landlord evict him because he is sueing?
