I want to send a friend some inexpesive jewelry, and want to send it in a small box because I'm afraid it might get broken in a padded envelope. (It's glass). The box I would like to send it in is about 1.5" high, and probably 3" long/wide. I'm wondering if it's too small to send through the regular mail.

I need to know if anyone can come up with an ingenious, yet inexpensive, way to hang a pot rack in my new apartment kitchen. The pot rack is metal and made to mount on the wall and is 36" wide. I want to put it up above my kitchen window, which is a little ways below the ceiling. This is not a pot rack that can be hung from the ceiling, it MUST be attached at the wall. My landlord doesn't want any holes in the wall, and I think this will be pretty heavy, as it's pretty heavy alone, and will be even heavier when I hang all my pots and pans on it. Do you think some kind of metal pegboard type of thing would work? Is there something that I could get that would be freestanding, yet unobtrusive that I could put around the window and attach the pot rack on top of it? I don't even know what I'm thinking, but I think there must be SOME way to do this without attaching it to the actual kitchen wall. . Please let me know your thoughts, they would be greatly appreciated!

We had a tree fall through our roof 2 months ago. The roof (outside) has been fixed, but the ceiling inside still has a hole, about 1 foot square. We both work during the day, so it's difficult to find to to meet with a contractor, get estimates, and take time off to get the work done. I'm not the handiest person in the world, but I do like to learn new things. How hard would it be to fix the hole? Any good resources (on the web or books) anyone could refer me to?

I want to create two different color scheme for winter and summer in my bedroom.If I choose cream-mocha/coffee color sceme for winter and light green and aqua for summer days what color should I choose for the walls so that it harmonizes with both settings. I don't want (to be honest,I can't afford) to change wall colors with seasons. The walls are of brick and cement not of woodboards,so I can't simply attach wall papers and there is labouring cost too. Its a mediun sized room with a king size bed with a side table.The room is well lit( though not sunkissed.
Thanks in advance.

The gas burners turn themselves off when the house reaches the set temperature, as they should, however, the fan stays on, but the burners do not turn back on when temperature falls below the thermostat setting. I can only get the burners to go back on if I turn off the power to the furnace and switch it back on. The igniter seems to be fine.

Here is the deal.. I am a (part time) flooring sub-contractor who has been asked to redo the texture in a couple's (friends of mine) relatively small bathroom. Although I have done my fair share of drywall and texturing work (i.e I have the experience and tools), this job poses a different problem.

The problem pertains to the thick DIY texture that the couple put on the walls. Essentially, it looks as though joint compound was troweled on and swept at a thickness greater than 1/8th of an inch. Now, a few months and three coats of paint later - the texture job has cracked and apparently is not the look the couple is satisfied with.

The question at hand: Is sanding going to be the best option to prep the sheetrock? If so, are there any tested methods to keep the dust down? What would be the best type of sander (belt vs. orbital)?

I do not mind sanding - I just want to make sure this is the most cost effective solution.
Thanks you for your time,

Well I know that I don't want to burn regular wood, I hate the smell, and I don't want to smoke up my house, walls, etc.

I think I need to buy a gas log, but I've never used my fireplace in five years of owning my home. Theres a gas gauge, with a piece sticking out that looks like you screw something on to it, and I have a key beside the fireplace to turn on the gas. But thats all I know. Oh yeah, there's a rack to place wood? And a long silver piece with holes in it. I tried screwing it on to the area that needs to be screwed but it didn't fit.

Any help/advice would be appreciated.
