I have a circular saw, reciprocating saw, jigsaw, power drill, and soon a router, what can I make that will sale well and where can I sell it? I live in a small town with two somewhat bigger cities nearby. I am new to woodworking but I make quality stuff. I plan on making chests, bookcases, and maybe even computer desks. Give me ideas of things to make with these tools.

IT's an indoor plant. It is in my bathroom and has a sky light above it, so it gets a reasonable amount of light.
Recently the ends have gone brown and crunchy.
I'm really upset about it because everyone used to think it was a fake plant, because it looked so perfect.

When I was napping, my 4 year old daughter thought it would be neat to put glue on my chest area. Now its still stuck and glued to my nipple areas, and it hurts. Can someone tell me how to remove this glue gun without tearing my nipple off?

We live in the country in KS. We have no shade trees. Our home is a double wide manufactured home on a permanent foundation. It doesn't have high ceilings, and only 1 floor. The problem is the house gets hot during the day even though the ac is running. At 9:00 p.m., it is still about 82 degrees in here. I just think the AC isn't working quite right. Any suggestions?

I found a trick of the trade, a shop vac. It has to be the 6.5 hp. with the 16 gallon tank. Mine is the rigid brand. They are relatively inexpensive and really clean the carpets way better than your conventional vacuum. I mean they really clean the carpet. And the attachment gets under the beds and furniture way easier. And it gets in the corners well too. And I guess if you wanted to you could even put water on the carpet. Because its a wet/dry vacuum

We live in a pretty new house, 2 years old, so I don't think our sink pipes are clogged or anything. But it smells sorta like rotting food. When I run my dishwasher I can smell it extra well. What can I do to clean this out. Will running a cycle with bleach help???? Tell me if you've had this problem and what you did.
Thanks!!!
