Decorating & Remodeling - August 2006

I came back to my dorm after summer and discovered that a large mirror had been removed. The mirror (which was about 3 ft tall and 1 ft wide) was originally attached to a closet door (wood with some sort of finish) and left a lot of adhesive residue when removed. How could I hang a new mirror on the door without using something that will damage the wood? I don't want the mirror to fall, but can't use nails, screws, or anything that isn't removable or leaves a hole.

Thanks in advance for your answers! :-)

I am almost done finishing my basement off (drywall installed and ready to paint). I installed electrical for lighting and outlets and a little plumbing (one sink) What are the consequences to not getting a building permit? Can normal inspections be made at this point if I were to apply for a permit? I'm very nervous now that I realize i should have applied gotten a permit for this work.

Do you remove the masking tape before or after the paint is dry?
What happens if you do the wrong thing? (My rooms are already dry, the tape is still on the walls.) I have 2 more rooms to go.

Ok lets say you could either stay on earth and evolve into a new type of being or move to mars and remain human with the earth being a totaly different planet and mars looking like the earth. What would you do?

We are remodeling our home and are hoping to sell it in a few months. We are hoping to find a site (or a few) that we can check out what colors are hot right now and get a bunch of ideas for different rooms. Any suggestions?

We have apprx. 1000 sq feet of hardwood in our home (built 1941) that has never been refinished. It's covered in carpet. We've been quoted $2.50 per square foot. I know we have some very knowledgable remodelers out there and any input would be great!
