I know some people that would turn their backs if they saw a centimeter of asbestos in a home for sale. Whats the big deal? I think the installed products are best left alone, and would release more fibers if you remove them.

This is in a dining area with access to an outside patio so traffic will be heavier than a normal dining room.

I'm trying to make a bedframe for a morbidly obese person.
I need suggestions on how to do this and what kind of wood to use.
I should first state: I have no idea what I'm doing, but I m hoping it may not be to hard to do.
I want to start out with 4 planks? of wood to make the frame I want them to interlock then I will reinforce it by using nails or screws. Next a plank lengthwise down the middle. Next a large slab of wood on top the size of a queen sized mattress. Next screw that onto the planks in several places. Would I need a boxspring too?
I need to know what type wood to use.
Does my plan sound right or are all you skilled carpenters laughing your heads off? Please let me know before I get this project started.

It is made of aluminium (I think? or some thin metal) and attached to a plastic pail with a small hole.

I just started renting an apt with a dish washer but I really don't know which DW detergent would work best. There are several out there and I need some advice on which is best. What do you use & are you happy with it? Thanks in advance for your advice!

We live on a ranch in SD - the only thing I hate about it is the unbelievable amount of dog ticks every spring and summer. GROSS! I can remove a tick a minute (or faster!) from our animals but I'll never get used to them. We do use a rub-on gel (Advantix I think?) and tick collars for the animals and I guess they help... We keep the ground cover near the house very short. I'm wondering if anyone has had any luck with a particular type of poultry (2 geese didn't seem to make a dent in our tick population!) or maybe someone has tried praying mantis? Which wild birds would help the most - maybe I could encourage them through plantings and feeding? We have robins & sparrows around now. I would like to be more prepared this spring, if I can. Thank you for any help or suggestions!! ps I'm one of the only two people I know who tics never attach to - they must know how much I hate them! LOL

i need what i think is a u-trap or p-trap. it should be equal length on both sides and pvc material. not using it for plumbing but to assist my students with their pitch matching when singing in class.

one end is held at the mouth and the other held up to the ear. it sounds crazy but really works. i purchased these once before at a hardware store but don't remember exactly what they are called. can someone who knows plumbing materials tell me what it is called and where i can buy them about 30 or them?

My husband and I purchased a Costa Rican carved gourd on our honeymoon. We would like to put some plants in it but it doesn't have any holes for water to drain. It was traditionally used to carry water. Can we use it for plants? Are there plants better suited for a container that the water would not drain it?

The unit is recently installed and the closet is at the end of the entry adjacent to the living/dining area. My downstairs is so small and it is noisy when the unit comes on. My entry is tile, the closet floor is cement, the l/d room carpet. The wooden door on the heater closet has slats for ventilation.
