Lacking a drill press, how would you suggest I drill holes in stained glass, agates, metal or ceramics? I do have a Dremel, Rotozip and drill driver.

I think that I planted our pumpkins a couple weeks too late. Right now, the plants are large and there are many buds that are blooming into flowers. Will I have pumpkins in time? (this is my first year gardening)

It digs two cores, by putting your weight on it. The previous cores are ejected by the next ones. I'm concerned that it might take weeks to aerate a lawn with it. I would probably have to get the dirt very wet first, to make it easier to push the aerator down into the ground.

I would rather find a power aerator, if I could find one cheap. But this one might do, for a small lawn. Has anyone tried it?

I have one breaker that controls 3 overhead lights, and 3 outlets. All of a sudden, 2 overheads, and 1 outlet don't work. (They would be the ones furthest from the breaker) Nothing has been changed. Checked the wirenuts for anything loose, but they are OK. Do you have any thoughts on this? Thank you so much

I'd like any information on what the problem is and also a quick fix without calling a repairman. Thanks.

Last week I found that I have bed bugs. I automatically knew it was my neighbor - I live in a condo building. My neighbor is an old man who has clutter EVERYWHERE. His place is a wreak. He has multiple rental units and brings stuff that people left to his place. It's just plain nasty. I had an exterminator come yesterday to spray and he also had to check my neighbors place, who happened to have hundreds behind his headboard and his place was covered in black droppings. The exterminator found about 30 live ones in my place. Who knows how long he had them. My HOA is forcing my neighbor to have his place professionally cleaned,even though he wanted to do it himself. My question is, I know I got them from him but I can't prove it. Is there any legal action I can take if they come back again? He's a dirty old man and I know this is going to happen again in a matter of time when he continues bringing things and strange characters into his place. Is my only option to move??

I'm making a Spinning Prize Wheel and need a 2 foot diameter circle cut from 3/8" plywood or similar lightweight wood and I don't own any type of saw.

Is there a store or service that either sells precut circles or makes them to order?

Or would it be cheaper to just buy a saw to do it myself? And if so, What type of Saw would I need?

I recently lost power to my freezer in the garage and lost a lot of food due to spoiling. I have heard there is an alarm that plugs into a wall outlet and sounds when power is lost to that outlet. Is this true???

We are tearing down a 125 year old barn, and there is tons of nice old wood, both planks and huge hand hewn beams. We have plans for a few things, including a 10 by 20 greenhouse/shed, some benches, and a few bookcases. But we will still have lots of beams, planks and siding left. Any ideas?

I plan on hanging up some very large mirrors and since they are so heavy I was going to use my stud finder. Do I need to use the plastic wall anchors for the screws or will the wood hold the screw?
