I have a concrete foundation. On top of it are 12"x12" ceramic tiles. What is the best way to remove them? What tools do I use?

I need a type of wood that would be able to hold up with high humidity and heat. Ive been told Medium Density Fiber was good wood, but i would like a second opinion. Keep in mind that the cage is going to be pretty big.(around 72" high)

Anyone else have this problem, its ticking me off.
The lawn mower starts first go, why do I have to take the spark plug out of the whipper snipper and clean it before it will start.
Its new, its only been used four times and thats mostly because I cant be bothered trying to get the stupid thing to start.
I bought a new one because the old one did the same thing.

It doesn't always happen in line with the holes themselves either. And sometimes it is only in certain spots, not all the way down the button-hole flap.

To make a long story short, i went to a bar, i got too drunk, stumbled all over the place and managed to sit on some bubble gum. One of my friends drove me home in her car, now her leather has bubble gum in lots of different places.

Of course, i made the mess, i have to clean it.

So please help me, what's the best way to remove bubble gum from leather seats?

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks :)

My neighbour keeps copying everything in my garden, like stepping stones, edging and letterbox. I need some suggestions on how i can take revenge? I was thinking about killing her lawn with weedkiller but i would like any other suggestions please...I know it sounds mean but i'm at my wit's end because everything i put in the garden she copies, she has no imagination and it p*sses me off that she has to steal my ideas all the time. Any ideas appreciated!! :)

Every time I flush the toilet or run the water in my bathroom upstairs I smell a foul sewer kind of smell downstairs right under where the bathroom is. The house was built in 1890 and everything is falling apart. Can anyone tell me why I have this smell even when I am just brushing my teeth. Also unless I was hallucinating a few months back when I was brushing my teeth I saw little off white colored worms, kind of like maggots coming from the bathroom faucet. There were only about 2 or so but so weird. Is this possible? Thank you for all your help.

In my bathroom, where we have our washer and dryer there is this foul pungent odor and I don't know where it is comming from. Nothing in the apartment, especially the bathroom has anything in it and it smells really bad? Anyone else had this before or know what it could be??

I have two vertical blinds, each with a centre draw split. I want to use both of them on a large window... but need to be able to change the operating mechanism somehow, in order for the blinds to have a side draw. Each blind has both a draw chord and a chain that opens and closes the slats, on the same side. Would like the blinds to be able to stack on that side also. Is there any way to do this without purchasing anything? Is there a way to adjust (or reconfigure) the draw chord (or other appartus) so that it opens and closes the blinds from/to the end of the headrail vice the centre ?
