My son broke one of the canopy posts on my daughter's canopy bed. He ran into it and the metal screw that goes from the canopy post to the bed was stripped out. How do I fix this?

I need it explained to me how I measure the couch so that I can see if it will fit at an angle. I think you measure from the top of the couch to the arm (making a triangle to the arm) but the next measurement is key (which is what I don't know).

Thanks!

The panels slide into a groove at each column. Each panel is 8" tall and 2.5" thick. The typical length is 8'. The panels are solid, as are the columns.

We bought a house last spring that has free gas comming from a well on the property behind us.We didn't have any problems all summer and the pressure stayed up to 30psi.Now that it has gotten clod and wet the pressure drops and comes back up all the time.Recently it has droped and stayed down real low at the house but back at the well it is still 30psi.I was told that the lines could be cleaned but we don't have the $ to pay someone to do it.My husband knows alittle about the lines because he makes the stuff for them at work. My question is if we turned the gas off back at the well is there a way we could clean out the lines ourselves?
