This is to prevent pigeons from entering the balcony. Couple of options that I have thought are grills (expensive), mesh (will it look good?)...

Fukking ants in my Pants!
lol
But foreel tho,theres hella ants in the kitchen since june!
They keep coming back or something...
I flush them down the toilet but I get the feeling those ants are coming back from exausting journey's. They are sooooo
Annoying bruh! I hate randomly feeling them walk on my Neck
as I type emails lol. They are pesky little bugs. I live in an Apt. Complex and My Jew Manager probably won't want to call an exterminator... They arent that bad but I hate coming to the kitchen and seeing my previously left soda CRAWLING with ants! Where can I find the Queen to stop this Madness???
Also... How about those Sound repelents? do those work?>
Its hard to invididually kill every single ant. I usually wet a towel and Sweep em' all up and Flush em!

WHAT DO I DO?

I want to make a wood circle table top. I have layed out nine ( 2 x 6) pieces of wood side by side. Each 2x6 is 4ft in length.

For clarification, with all the boards layed side by side, the total actual dimension is

Height = 1.5 inches
Length = 48 inches or 4 feet
Width = 49.5 inches or (9 boards x 5.5 inches)

Everything is clamped tightly. I want the table top to have a diameter of 45 inches. I have the dewalt router combo with both a fixed and plunge router. I want to set a pivot point in the middle of the circle, and then move the router around the circle to cut out the shape, while pivoting around the center point.

a) Should i use the fixed or plunge router for this?
b) What router bit should i use for this

Any other tips or suggestions for this project.

Thanks

By mixing vinegar and water and spraying it around your house or on any paticular item will eliminate any odor, the vinegar smell will go away and leave a fresh smell. Or you can put a bowl or bowls of vinegar water around your house and it will get rid of any smell.

We have a detached two-car garage which is only about 6 or 8 feet from the back/side corner of the house. House and garage are currently connected by a covered walkway. The ground is very flat, so both house and garage are in the same plane. We live near Houston, Texas. About how much would it cost to build out from the second story of the house over the walkway (which would almost certainly need reinforcement) and add a second story to the garage? We would want it to blend nicely with the house, which has an exterior of brick on the first story and then siding above that. We would want the area over the garage finished out as one large room with at least two windows. It would need to have its own heat and cooling.

This one http://www.raymourflanigan.com/catalog/details.asp?ID=10877

or this one with the matching loveseat http://www.raymourflanigan.com/catalog/details.asp?ID=9142


I'm so undecided on what to get. I'm thinking of going to Ethan Allen and getting one custom made but of course that will be a little more money.

Every time I make a cut, the edges come out black, and often there's some smoke. Pushing the wood through quickly lessens the problem, but it never really goes away. Should I have the blade sharpened, replace it, or is there possibly some other problem?

If you are supposed to rinse them off, then why are you supposed to put more detergent in for pots and pans?

I'm trying to remove the toilet tank and one of the screws holding it on is hanging on no matter what. To make matters worse, the slot for the screwdriver is not deep enough to hold a screwdriver when a vise grip is applied to the wingnut it's attached to. I have tried WD40 and Liquid Wrench....nothing is working. It will be an emergency soon. Help!!
