Please i need to know cable sizes and measurement
I suggest that first you should count your, like for example lights,power or outlet,ref and air-con etc.
now the computation is if you lights are 8 or more for example let say you have total lights number of 12 pcs. now times it to 100w then the total is 1200w and then divided in your volt on your country may its 110v or 220v. let say your volt supply is 110v. now 1200w/110v now you have total of 10.9a so this is the total ampere for lights. now you will used a 20 ampere C.B (circiut breaker) . Now the conduit is 1/2 or 15mm. the conduit is tube like for example RSC ( rigid stell conduit) or EMT.( intermediate metallic conduit). etc.
And now for your power or outlet is TOTAL of power or outlet times to 200w now you can see that in lights we times it for only 100w but power or outlet is different to lights because it need it for unknown load that their going to plug it and this is also the given standard from NEC or NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE. so lets go back to load computation so let say we also a 12 power or outlets times in 200w. 12x200w = 2400w now divided by voltage from your country and let say 110v
NOW 2400w/110v = 21.81a so you going to used a 30 ampere of C.B circuit breaker and the conduit size is 1/2 or 15mm. RSC., EMT OR EVEN FLEXIBLE HOSE.
suggestion: just limit your lights at least 10 - 15 pcs. only and also for your power or outlet.

Re: Stripped screws - Cut small splinters of soft wood (spruce-pine-fir) to size and glue them in the stripped screw holes. Allow to dry and cut/sand off excess. Refasten the handle with the screws using a screwdriver, or a cordless drill (w/screwdriver bit) with the clutch set to a low setting in order to prevent stripping again.
I hope that this was of help to you.

How do I build a frame that goes inside a brick
I suppose you could build a box in the recess (top, back, and sides) with 3/4 inch plywood and screw cleates to that at the correct levels. This would give you some decent wood to fasten the front trim to as well as provide a robust inner structure for your oven units to mount to. For the drawers, you can make a simple box carcass with the same material to fasten your hardware and slides to. With strength sorted out you can then concentrate on knocking up a pleasant fascia with the wood, tile or laminate of your choice. That's my thought on it. I bet you get a few good answers as that is a good thought provoking project you have there.Regards, Farmerbear
How can the hindges of a steel door be adjusted so
Yes, but only so far. The door should have been set with the jamb and you wouldn't be having this problem. We used to use a sheet of plywood to square up the jamb when setting it in concrete. Worked great. Anyway, if you can get the jamb over with the bolt in the leg or the fastener, and you can't shim the hinge itself, You have to pull the pin out, hammer the knuckles of the hinge over and slam the pin back in, like I said, you won't get much, The only other thing to do is grind the top of the door off.

I don't know why you would want to make the stuff, you can buy it already made into boards. A couple web sites here for you to check out, one is a supplier and the other is a lot of work if you ask me. Check it out.
I have a bedroom door that won't stay open. When
Pull the top pin out of the hinge, place it on a hard surface, and strike it lightly with a hammer, giving it a slight bend. Tap it back into it's hinge slot. The slight bind should stop the self-closing, The self-closing is due to the door being hung off level.
How to build a wooden pyramid frame for school
cut 4 pieces of 2x2 to1.5 inches short of 2 metres. lay them out end to end to form a two metre box. it can only work one way. then take string from corner to corner to find the center, making a crosshair. then stand a level rod at the centre to the desired height and fasten equal length lines from each corner to the peak. using a compound mitre saw, place an angle finder at the bottom and top corners to give you the angle to cut your piece with the saw set at 45 degrees, to give you your compound miter for the top. just set the saw blade to line up with the angle finder to get the bottom cut. the length of your "tight" string line frome corner to peak is your length of "hip" piece
Building a floor to ceiling built-in bedroom cupboard
First you need proper tools there are books out there that have projects like this that aren't necessarily the same size but give you a good starting point and tell you what tools you need.
Second get a friend or friend of a friend that has some knowledge of carpentry I do not recommend someone with little or no skill to try and tackle a project like this.
Last see what space you have to work with and what you would like to do with that space get rough measurements and see how much material and hardware you would need.
Again I stress make sure you have someone to help guide you in your endevour.
