There is an old German saying which prescribes how to divide a cake between two people and ensure that both of them are satisfied. The translation is: “One divides, the other chooses”

Can you devise a procedure so that n persons can divide a cake between them and each one is satisfied that he has obtained a fair piece of the cake?

My beadboard says you can install it with panel adhesive, but it is not sticking. We ruined one piece by nailing it to keep it up. We used Liquid Nails panel adhesive. It is installing on the sheet rock. Is there something better we can use? Better than the Liquid Nails?

I recently made a toy for my 2 year old using PVC pipe. Now I'd like to paint it; probably using primary colors.

BUT

The toy can bend in some places and I don't want any paint I put on to flake or peel off.

Is there another way I can *colorize* PVC pipe?

I would like to install a fixture box and fish the wire from a wall switch so the light would be controlled by the switch. There are three rooms that I would like to do this to with an unfinished attic above. Does anyone know of the best/safest way to complete this task? Also, would I need to use conduit in order to be up to code?

I want to trim and transplant two Rose of Sharon bushes and I would like to know how to root the cuttings when I trim the bushes back to transplant.
Do you have to use a product that makes roots from the buds?
