Need some ideas on how to fix the doors in my very small hallway. My bedroom has two bi-fold doors in the entrance. Right across from that (in a very narrow hallway) are another pair of bi-fold doors on a linen closet. And at the end of the hall is a small closet with 2 panel doors that hit both sets of bi-folds when open. I need to replace all of them because they're old, but also wanted some idea on how to fix this traffic jam! Hope my very lame drawing below helps you understand how the hallway looks. Any ideas on what type of doors I can use to make this space more useable and keep all of these doors from colliding? None of the doorways are suitable for pocket doors.

------VV-
hallway <
------VV-

W=bi-fold doors (top is to bedroom, bottom is to linen closet, both open out to the hallway)
< = doors to small closet (opens out to the hallway...actually hits the other doors when open)

On large wall areas, I know spraying is quicker, but does it look better than old school roller and brush?

It is an open run-in shed, no soffits but has ridge vent with white shingle roofing. Wanted to use blue board. Do I place it in between the joists, right against the back side of the roof sheeting or do I need to place it on top of the joists so there is air space?

Ok, so here's the scenario....we were decorating out toddlers room and painted the top and bottom half of the room in two different colors and hung an expensive wallpaper border. He started tearing down the border, so I bought more and some thin moulding to keep him from tearing it down. He is now tearing down the moulding and border. So I think I need to just take down the border and possibly try using just a heavy moulding with liquid nails and a nail gun. The thing is...we have already wasted about $150 dollars and the wallpaper remover is going to cost us another $15 dollars and of course we still have to buy the heavier moulding and liquid nails.

So, is there a cheaper way to remove wall paper with some normal household products or something?

I usually get to the dump befpre this happens, but am a bit behind, you could say. My garbage is stacked all neatly along the garage inside wall, but I know that neatness has nothing to do with it. Time is the factor here. Alright troops! Listen up! A few flys did the dirty deed in a garbage bag and now we have our very own 2006 Maggot Convention in session as I speak, under the roof of this garage. Is there anything I can do to kill them before I can get to the dump in about six hours?

Thanks for your time. . .

Matt
