  • Drywalling question(gaps and jagged sheetrock).?

    Do It Yourself (DIY) - 9 hours ago

    Additional Details

    I'm not sure if I make sense to you, this is hard to explain. Basically there is a hole or groove about a inch deep in the sheetrock where he failed to snap the board clean. The grove is located in the middle on the ending. Now when I tape over this I can sorta see that I'm taping over a hole in a wall. I feel like this is not the proper way to do it and it can easy be "punched" through later on. What can I do to fix this gap so I can tape over something solider and the paste?

  • How do I get these trip switches on again?

    Do It Yourself (DIY) - 15 hours ago

    Additional Details

    Hi. I was at work and, in a fit of utter stupidity, I went to the swtichboard and flicked some of the trip switches off. Now they won't switch back on again. I tried to switch them on and they just kept going back to off. Please help before anyone notices that nothing is working. Is there an easy way to get them back on again? I don't want to get the sack. I think I might just pretend it was a storm that did it. But I don't know if I can get away with it. Please help! I think the switches are right over into the off position already but I'll check. I think I have to call in the electricians and pay for them to fix it (in the middle of the night), because if the company can't function due to a strange lack of electricity then it will cause a lot of problems and then people will get angry and I will have to hide in the cupboards again. And I don't want to do that because it's very uncomfortable after the first few hours.
