Me and my fiance have recently moved into a house and the last people who lived there have left a box of broken glass and tiles in our yard. The box has been rained on and it looks quite dangerous. Can anyone give me any tips on how to get rid of it safely. We have a little puppy and I cant let him out in the yard cause he keeps wanting to go in the box, Thanks

About to lay new ceramic tile. Pulled up the old vinyl and much to my surprise the subfloor is 1 inch solid plywood! So I'm good there. The vinyl left behind a coat of the old glue, that ain't going anywhere. Is it okay to lay right over this as long as it is pasted well to the floor, or do I have to try and somehow scape up all that old glue? The glue is flat and smooth, not lumpy, although still a bit tacky in spots.

I did ceramic in my basement last month and pulled up the old vinyl there. I used chemicals to remove the old vinyl glue and it was a REAL BTCCCCH to get up. So if this is an unnecessary step, then I would sure like to avoid this.

thanks

I just found hardwood flooring under my carpet. My carpet needs to be replaced. Should I go with carpet or hardwood floors. It seems that a few planks are buckled or maybe even cracked as there are some weak spots in my floor. Is this hard or expensive to replace? Also what does carpet vs hardwood do to the value of your home? Is refinishing hard if I find worn out places?

What is involved in moving a mobile home? How big a truck is required, can anyone do it? Are there legal issues with towing a mobile home (I'm in Eastern Iowa)? Any idea how much it'd cost if I hired it? What should I look for on in a mobile home if I am sure that I will move it as soon as I own it?

Trying to install a ceiling fan, I have done electrical work before and done quite a few fixtures. The fan isn't working, I want to make sure the wires are live, I don't have a tester. Is there a way to test without using your bare hands and shocking yourself?

I am currently renting a basement since I am in college. its not THAT old of a house, but its not new neither..and the bedroom is right next to...some sort of closet type room, that i'm guessing is used for the heating system cause I see metal boxes and pipes.

anyway, from time to time I hear this "whump" sound that freaks me out big time, I always get the impression that the pipes are about to explode or someting. what I want to know is, is it going to explode?

I'm looking for someone who has a portable sawmill/lumbermill in Los Angeles county. I have two oak logs about 16" diameter and 12 feet long that I want to cut into boards to make a table. Realize they will have to be seasoned but first I need to cut them. I know there are attachments for chain saws and I may have to do that but first I would like to look for someone with a portable sawmill. Thanks for any help.
