What is the best way to hang a very heavy 4' wide x 8' tall x 1/2" inch deep piece of wooden art on a wall so that it is secure?

Challenge... This piece of art is a 20 piece puzzle.

Option 1 - We can secure the completed puzzle to a wood backing of the same size. Hence the question, how to hang heavy art?

Option 2 - To make the weight easier to manage, we can hang each puzzle piece individually. However, the challenge is how to hang each individual piece so that the puzzle fits together?

We're open to both ways, but looking for ideas on how to execute on either.

I really love the modern look. Red, Black and White are the colors i'd like to decorate with since they fit so well together.

We are looking for a house to rent in Waukesha County.
We current have unsafe water at our rental apartment due to coliform bacteria in the well.
The landlord will not cooperate.
We are a responsible couple with one child and 2 well trained pets. We would be willing to provide maintenance and repairs for any home and/or property.
We just need good water. Anyone have any ideas on the best way to accomplish this?

The smell is only in one room of my house, the living room, which is the furthest away from the main ac/heating unit. I have floor vents and I walked to all the other rooms and there is no smell like that in any other room. There is nothing covering the floor vents and I just changed the filter a couple days ago. It is working fine, the house heats just like it should. What could be going on? Thanks!

I'm moving to a new apartment unit. I asked my landlord to give me a new set of keys since it would be dangerous for me to keep the old lock and the old keys.

The last tenants could enter whenever they want if they have a copy of the keys. Do they have to give me new lock and keys OR do I have to change the lock and the keys myself?

Is there a section in the Ontario Tenants law that I can refer to and show my landlord (so that they could give me new lock and keys)?

Thanks for your help.

My house is VERY clean and we've never had this problem before. I noticed it started when I left out some overly ripe bananas for a couple of days, then it seemed like they were everywhere?? Will they eventually die by themselves? I'm pregnant too so I don't want any chemicals sprayed around. Any suggestions???????

My house is 4 years old. Last week water started coming out of my dining room light fixture. Long story short, the joint was never done correctly, was weak, and finally gave out. Builders suck! Anywho...how long should I let everything dry out before I repair the drywall? Yes the plumbing is fixed, no more leaks. I am more concerned with the after effects...fixing drywall, mold, weak floor boards. Should I be concerned?

Y'know that smell of burning leaves that is always in the air around October? I love that smell and I'm looking for a candle, either online or in the 30022 area. Thanks!

My window frames at the moment are wooden with double glazed units and some of them are well past their sell-by-date! Two in particular need urgent attention and need replacing fast! What I'd like to know is what you all think about replacing them with UPVC. Is it better than the wood framed units? Or should I stick to the wooden frames. I will be replacing them all within the next two years (I can't afford to do them all at once). Wood or Plastic?
