HELP! My oven won't work. The display says 'remove oven probe' even though there is no probe in the oven.

It is a Maytag oven. It just started doing this last night. It is beeping constantly while displaying the above message. We tried putting the probe in and taking it out, but it keeps beeping. Help!

i've to stick fancy beads on a dress with fabric glue. What do i keep below the dress that wont stick to it?

Like when we stick something, we need to apply slight pressure. BUt how do i apply pressure while sticking beads on a dress because whatever is underneath will also absorb the glue through the fabric and stick to it!

Last time i kept a plastic sheet and it stuck to the fabric!

Hand-rubbed wax finish?

I'm refinishing the top of an old library table. Ideally, I really should re-laminiate it (and probably will at some point in the future) For now, I just want to sand it, stain it, and do a hand-waxed finish. I realize that it will not have a "bar top" finish (ie will not be "water proof") but I don't think that this will be an issue. What options do I have for this type of finish. I'm open to advice and recommendation, pros and cons, etc. from woodworking professionals and experienced amatures. Thanks for the assistance.

Does adding a humidifier help with lowering the heating bill?

I have added insulation in the attic (12 inches) and the crawl space, new windows, checked for drafts, and shut off rooms that I don't use.

I'm just don't like paying more then a 100 bucks a month for natural gas since it is something that comes out of the ground.

My houses foundation is about to tumble, what do I do?!?

I am renting a bedroom in my landlords home. He told me a few months ago that the foundation was sinking, and that the insurance company will only repair it if it has already crumbled to the ground. He said he was going to wait and let them pay for it, when it does fall. Now, aside from the absolute absurdity of his reaction, I have a situation on my hands.
He is out of town for Christmas and will return the 26th. The foundation has about a foot-long crooked crack in the beam that runs about 2 feet from the front of the house. I have heard about 3 sounds over the past 2 hours that sounds like the door is opening, but I think it's the foundation.
I know my landlord will just say *oh well, I'll deal with it when I get home*, but I'm concerned the foundation may fall before then. Should I be vacating? I don't have $ for a hotel or anything. Please let me know if you have experience or knowledge in this type of situation!
Thanks....

Getting rid of old books, and just stuff?

I have a bunch of things I would like to give away! Mostly books or little house decorations. The thrift store here is not taking anymore donations! What do you do with the stuff you want to get rid of, but don't want to throw out?

I was thinking maybe ebay... but I'm not sure if that's worth my time or not. Any suggestions?

Thanks!
