I accidently made a hole in my wall, the size of hole is about the size of a fist. I heard i could buy the hole repair kit from the homeimprovement centers. How much would it cost buying the kit? also it's my first time trying to fix a hole like this, would it be hard?
help me please..

There is a house down the street from me that I absolutely love and I want my house to be just like it. It has EVERYTHING that I want in a home. Do you think it would be disrespectful to go to the house and ask the owner questions about their home? I want to get the dimensions and all that stuff. I am really tempted but I don't want to them to think that I am crazy or staking their house out or something! What do you think?

I finally have the room to put in a home studio so I can write, paint and find out what else I can create. I don't have a clue how I would go about setting this up though and want to make sure I do it with the best colors, furniture, etc so I can get maximum use out of it. Does anyone know where I can find this type of info? When I've done online searches, I just get back the names of different artists or names of studios. I'd like to do this as soon as possible, so any tips or resources you can provide would be really appreciated.
Thanks!

I have a Bulldog brand 10" bandsaw. I recently replaced the blade (old one broke). The new blade ran okay for awhile, but now comes off of the pulleys/wheels after just a few seconds of operation. I don't have a manual, and can't find one online. If you know how to adjust the blade tracking, or whatever it takes to fix this, I'd greatly appreciate it.

If you don't know this specific bandsaw, do you know a book or website that you can recommend for generic bandsaw information that might guide me in the right direction so I can fix this?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Cat box was kept in hall closet by previous tenants. I have stripped and waxed the floor 3 times and the walls have been painted twice. Fabreeze works but only for a couple of days and then the odour is back. Any ideas?

I wanted to find cheap artwork for my house, so I thought I could take pics myself and blow them up. I like the look of black and white, but my furniture is all wood. Do black and white pics have to be in a black frame? Will it clash badly to have black frames and wood furniture? Thanks for opinions!

Was removed from the classrooms of a defunct local military academy. Nails have been removed but years of wax and grime add character. Reverse side shows all the colors of this beautiful wood. Approximately 2500 sq. ft to sell. Need professional questimates.

The shades originally fitted into a metal holder with a circular hole in the middle for the lamp holder. 3 screws around the rim hold under the lip on the glass shade. The shades do not have a screw top just a small lip. They are heavy cut glass - 3 matching and two odd but similar. The diameter of the glass rim is 82mm.

I just purchased a 5 x 8 foot area rug made of olefin. It was rolled up tightly and wrapped around the middle with plastic. There is flattening of the pile where the plastic was, and creases where it was tightly rolled. Will these things ever go away? Will the creases and flattened pile come out after it lays flat for a while and with vacuuming?
