I was removing the carpet and padding from my stairs to refinish them and was left with a black substance that looks like tar or some kind of glue. I have been sanding it off but it is taking forever! Anyone have any suggestions on getting this stuff off easier and quicker?

I removed all the baseboard of course, but don't want to remove the door moldings. I can't use a saw as it will cut "into" the trim but then there is no way to cut "down" to get the piece out. How do I get a nice clean, neat cut off the bottom of the trim so I can slide the laminate flooring slightly underneath?

For a bedroom that is over a fairly noisy street with floor-to-ceiling windows (sliding door on one of them), what is the best way to soundproof the room. I don't mind blocking out the view for that particular room.

The mini split ac's come precharged with freon. this allows one to just install the unit, and connect the lines. it states to purge, or evacuate the system after the lines are connected. the only air would be from the actual 15' lines that were connected. will the ac run good without be purged or evacuated? this ductless system is new, and ive heard people installing them without fancy equipment. id like to know if i can get good cooling, without the hvac tools. what do you guys think?

so here's the deal my mom has this flower bed in the backyard that she keeps hinting for me to dig out and i asked if i could put a hot tub back there and she says if you can figure a way to do that you can but more than likely she wants it to be just a fish pond but i'd really enjoy having my own hot tub in my backyard i've already tried google and all i found was buying an instructional guide and buying my own

thanks

I just removed wallpaper from my walls. I also had glow-in-the-dark star stickers on my ceiling, which when removed, tore off bits of drywall. Furthermore, my "do-it-your-self-er" Dad decides to load on tons of spackle without cleaning the moist, sticky wall underneath. What is the best, fastest and least expensive way for ME to remove this spackle, sand the walls and prep them for a nice clean coat of white paint?

I'm planning on painting on plexi glass to look like stain glass. I'm going to solder the edges. Do I have to prepare the plexi glass in any way for the solder to hold?

Can anyone recommend me a website where I can download free stain glass patterns. I'm looking for classic patterns (abstract, symetrical) vs images of animals, flowers, etc.

Thanks.

My computer's surge protector indicates that the sockets at my house are not properly grounded. I'd like to try to ground them myself. I've heard one can do so by securing the ground wire to a water pipe. The trouble is, my water comes from a well on my property and the water pipes in my house are all constructed of PVC! Is there another way? Thanks very much!
