I just painted 2 foundation walls with latex paint. Prior to painting, I quickly wiped them down with a damp cloth and let them dry about 1/2 or so. The paint underneath was glossy. A little while later one wall looks good but the other has a lot of bubbles and the top is runny. I used a thick roller cover (too much paint?) I just need to know if it could be a moisture problem, of if it's ok to sand it down in a week or so, prime, then repaint.

My sister is moving her piano out of our second floor apartment, and has a couple of friends to help her. We are wondering if there are any tips/tricks/methods for moving a piano down a flight of stairs?

I'm building a wall with natural quarry stone on an existing cement block skeleton, and I'm using playsand as filler (flows nicely, no stones). I need a cement that sets quickly, doesn't shrink, and doesn't cause grey/white "blooming". What is the difference between "type 10", "hydraulic cement", and "non-shrink grout"?

i brought 3 news halter tops!
They are all the same cut, but different sizes. I wear a medium, but was only able to get a large in two of the shirts. i was wondering how i could shrink the two large shirts into mediums. The fabric feels no different than regular tee shirts.
if you dont know the answer, i would be grateful if you could give me a website that may know or point me in a direction of my answer.

Say you make $150,000 a year. Does it make sense to fix your own plumbing or electrical when you can afford to hire a professional to do it for you?

I have some really funky vinyl flooring on my stairs, leading into the basement. Would like to replace with something slightly more modern. Is this a relatively easy project, or a handyman project?

I have a 12 foot diameter easy set pool (36 inches high) that I would like to set up for the summer but I don't want to put it on the grass because it would ruin the yard...is there any way that I could put this pool on my deck? My deck is 20 feet by about 18 feet and made of wood, and is about 2 feet off of the ground. When full this pool would probably weigh around 15,000 pounds. Thanks!

I know that sounds rediculous, but ONE wall of my baby girl's room is back to back with the kitchen. Whenever someone in the kitchen pulls open a drawer, opens and closes a cabinet, or grabs dishes in/out of the cabinet, the sound is SO loud and amplified in the babys room, that it wakes her up all the time. (Seriously, when someone opens a kitchen drawer, it sounds like someone is skateboarding across the wall!) So I can't use my kitchen when she is asleep. I'd really like to figure out how to soundproof that one wall, so that when someone is working in the kitchen, it doesn't carry through into her room.

BTW, I'd like to see if there is anything I can put BETWEEN the walls (like drop down from up in the attic), as I obviosly can't tear out my kitchen cabinets to put material behind them.....and I don't want to mount material on my baby's wall, because the nursery is painted and decorated and finished.
