I'm in the process of finishing my basement and only have the ceiling left to complete. I used metal studs for the framing and am using a metal grid system for a drop ceiling. How should I attach the wall molding to the walls? The manufacturer says to use nails, but that's obviously not an option with the metal studs. Would a drywall screw meant for metal framing work?

i accidentally put my lovely vintage gloves in the washing machine and they're looking awful now...
they were very soft white leather, and had never been worn before i got them, and now the leather's looking all parchment-like, yellow and cracked in places.
is there anything i can do at all or am i going to have to bin them? :(
thanks!!

I live in a cloud forest in Panama and I want to know what are the best annual flowers to grow here. I like snapdragons for example.
Thanks

If I buy this pattern for a fur shrug that goes up to a size 20, is there a way I can take the size a little bit up to fit me, because i have huge breast, and dont know if the 20 will be alright. So i was aiming for a 20.

Why is there always a pool of water in the bottom of my fridge? I have to keep mopping it up. Sometimes the walls ice up and then when it goes on defrost it drips water on the bottom. Am I supposed to be constantly changing the temperature or what? Should it be high or low?

I have a plasetered ceiling that is plastered onto plastered that is screwed to the ceiling. Some of the plaster on the screwheads started to 'bubble up' and then fallen off. I have tried filling with polyfiller but some don't take...
