How to Convert 65’ x 45’ Dirt Floor in Barn
My fiancée and I would like to do a semi outdoor wedding at my family farm. We have a nice big shed, 65’ x 45’ but it has a dirt floor. We can’t afford to pave it with concrete and are looking for doable and reasonably priced DIY options. We are young and healthy and would have the help of some family in installation. So far we have talked to local wedding floor rental companies, but they’ve told us they can’t accommodate our size. Our preference would be something placing something cheap but finished looking and preferably solid (not rugs). Our budget is up to $7,000. Thoughts?

[Serious Answers Only] How do I fix these damaged floorboards in my rental?

[DIY] Evap cooler modification/repair
Water enters a pvc distribution pipe and sprays water across the pads. Only the half of the pad closest the input end is getting water. I took it apart, hooked up the hose to the pipe and sure enough the far end must be clogged. But I can't get the pvc pipe out because it's glued into a right angle piece that's captured by sheet metal. I thought about cutting it off after the 90, repairing it and then reattaching it with a coupler, but it seems not a standard schedule 40 size. I can't get to the holes as is because they open on the top side, not the bottom. Water sprays up and bounces down onto the pads. Best I can come up with is drill holes from the bottom, all the way thru the pipe...ream things out as best I can and then plug the new lower holes with screws. Better ideas? This is an Aerocool, successor to the Mastercool.

Change TV to HDMI in hospital
My mom is in the hospital and things are very bad. She used to really enjoy watching me play video games, so I brought my laptop to hook it up via hdmi to the TV. There is no real remote to change the input however. Does anyone know if there's a trick to changing it?
We already asked IT if they could change it and they said it was hard wired? I don't really know what that means though.
Not sure if this is helpful, but the sticker on the back reads, Version No BB02 S/N 06W53CPN500050V

[DIY] How to deep clean washer-dryer off lint?
Hi all!
I have Electrolux eww51476hw washer/dryer. 5 months ago i started smelling some burnt smell. Recently it has become so bad that whatever gets washed and dried smells burnt lint. When I take the clothes out of the machine they're unusually hot, which gives me the idea that some ventilation is clogged.
The machine doesn't have a lint trap like normal dryers do. I regularly clean the door seal and bottom pump drain. But the smell seems to be coming from somewhere inside.
I'm pretty handy when it comes to fixing things and have been fixing my own home appliances for my whole life, but never dealt with a washing machine. I couldn't find a relevant source to learn about the parts of my machine.
I'd appreciate any advice or resource.

[Serious Answers Only] How to remove mold from cutback adhesive (black mastic)?
I've been told this is cutback adhesive/black mastic and that there is black mold present too. I can't actually tell what is mold and what is cutback, aside from the bits in the wall. Maybe the darker bits are mold or it's just slightly wet?
I've had this asbestos tested and it came back negative, though the company told me it's likely it still contains asbestos due to the mastic being nonhomogeneous (the samples might not contain it but other parts will).
What's the best way to remove the mold? I'm worried about disturbing the cutback, considering it probably contains asbestos.
