I have an oak door which I treated with a tinted beeswax. 1 year later it is now looking 'dry' and the tint is patchy. Should I give it another coat, sand it off, paint over it??? Any suggestions?

I have two garage door kits I bought from a liquidation sale. They are Ducati 8500 models but unfortunately no fitting instructions came along with them, or if they did I have mis-layed them. I have had these things for a couple of years now but never got round to try and fit them without instruction. They are the chain driven kind.
Anyone help?

I'm moving from an apartment ( a big one with a bunch of junk) to a (itty bitty ) dorm

I have a TON of crap.

I was going to donate big stuff like my T.V but all my other junk Like jeans, books and Hangbags I was going to toss...

I don't have time for a yard sale and I'd need to rent a truck to drop off my stuff to a thrift store..

Isn't better to just junk it and be done with it?

(I only have 1 week to move.)

I bought a sliding compound miter saw to cut laminate flooring. I have experience with power tools, but not a miter saw. I've read the manual and will get used to operating it before plugging it in, but wondered if anyone has any useful tips regarding use of the saw (and laying easy-clic flooring). Thanks!

I want to put crown molding along the intersection of where the wall meets the ceiling to hide my uneven painting job (the walls and the ceiling are different colors). I have tried using tape to create an "straight line" but I can never get the tape in a straight line.

I am thinking about doing laminate ( arborite) in a shower area of my bathroom. I cant afford to tile it so this is the next best option due to a very tight budget. I find that contact cement is very hard to work with as it is so unforgiving . You really have to get it right the first time.
