Does anybody know of any uses for the plaster. There is going to be a lot of it after we remodel, if there is anything I could use it for instead of throwing it all away. Please let me know.

I have a 2 story brick home in TX that is 2250 sq ft. My A/C unit is 3.5 ton and it runs almost all afternoon. Of course it is hotter upstairs than it is down and I was wondering if there was a way to either push the hot air outside or redirect it to the return air, or what. Please help with some ideas on how to cool more efficiently without getting a bigger unit.

I will be using it to build dollhouses and dollhouse furniture, and I need a tool that can cut wood up to 3/8" thick and that can cut in the middle of the wood. I'm not at all familiar with power tools and have no idea what attachments, if any, would be necessary for this type of job.

I have an inground vinyl pool that some how has become stained with rust. Any way I can remove this without damaging my liner? Would clorox be too harsh even with water to dilute it?

We are moving and we have clothes, like new or never worn, and furniture that we can't take with us. How can I make some money without a yard sale? I have donated so much already and could use a little cash for some nice things. What does anyone think about auctions? please give me your input on options/choices.
thank you

Can't I just use a semi-gloss paint. Do I really need to use "Dull and Bond" to make the varnish come off the paneling before I paint it? I can't find it in the hardare store what is the real name of the product. My paneling is brown.

What is the best way to get these down. There's about 3-4" between deck & bottom rail. I thought of laying something long flat & hard on top of the nails from deck side to off the deck & hammer it down from the sides. But not sure how to secure. Any ideas?

My builder sprayed my exterior walk-out deck on the 2nd floor over the patio with a Polyurethane coating to provide a water-proof coating. The floor feels a little rubbery with undulations due to breezy conditions when he sprayed. Since the Polyurethane is grey in color, I would like to tile it - any size of tile is ok - but not sure if I can. Builder said I can tile after I apply thinset on top of the Polyurethane. I consulted Home Depot, the lady there recommended using a concrete back board on top of thinset. I don't want to add too much weight to the deck. What can I do? Thanks
