Was wondering where I could buy a tool that would plan the bottom of the door without actually having to take the door off the hinges. I know one exists but just dont know the name of it.

My son's dragon figurine's wing broke off during shipping, and since I cannot return it or exchange it (EBay) I am forced to try and repair it. I've never had good luck fixing miniatures, figurines, or anything else made of a poly resin, porcelain, or ceramic. I've tried super glue and construction adhesive, both did not work. I was able to clean most of the failed attempts off though so I have a semi clean working surface. Any advice would be great, as this was his Christmas present.

i want to remove an 8' section of a 1st floor interior load bearing wall of a 2 story house with a concrete floor slab. how do I know if the floor slab will take the more concentrated loads from the wall next to the opening? any hints to support and remove the section of the wall? i expect to use 2-2x12's as a header over the opening to catch the ceiling joists, supported by 3-2x4 jack studs on each end. temporary supports will be 4x6 headers on 2-2x6 columns each end, about 2 feet out from the existing wall. ceiling joists are running perpendicular to the load bearing wall. I have a fair amout of experience in home repairs, etc.

Two cleaning questions...

First, the whiteish linoleum floor on the bathroom floor of my apartment has some yellow stains that seem to be from a reaction to something and the bath mat that covered them. Anyone know how to get those off?

Second, we have white walls in the apartment and I am looking for the best way to cover old nail and other hanging holes.

There is no sugar, no fruit nothing in my house to be bringing on these fruit flies. The only thing I can think of is that they are coming from my kitchen sink. I have dumped drano in there, they were gone for a couple of days and now they have come back.

Is it possible they are coming from the drain? and if so, how do I clear the drain so they go away permanently?

I was talking to this guy, and he said his porch was really more of a stoop. What is the difference?

And while I'm at it, what is the difference between a porch, a deck, a patio, a lanai, a veranda...

Also, not to sound racist, but why does it seem that only black people ever talk about a stoop anyway?

of the machine.I bought it used. My problem is that it doesn't collect lint. None. Ever. I would actually appreciate this if it weren't for the fact that I picture it bursting into flames one day. Anyone have any ideas, besides "never buy a used appliance"?

I would like to remove a load bearing wall in the basement of my two story house. Cut 2x10 floor joists are now supported by this wall. On one side, the room area is 138sqft (2x10's are 10'10'' long), on the other, the room area is 96sqft (2x10's are 7'6" long). The unsupported span of the beam will be 10'8". What size LVL or Parallam do I need?. What is the best way to support the ceiling during wall removal and beam installation? Is there something I can rent to avoid building temporary walls?

Thanks!
