A carpenter gave me some very nice wood, and we will use
it for a nice cutting board in the kitchen, but should we season it
with any special oil before using in order to seal the wood.

I would like to take in my blue jeans about a size or too. Im very petite and none of my jeans are small enough and the stores dont have my size. Id have to get costome made jeans but it would be much easier/cheaper if i could do it myself. Especially considering i have a sewing machine, plenty of time and i love to sew. Ive been sewing since i was 14 but ive never attempted a project like this so even some helpful tips would be nice.

I know it sounds like a nutty idea, but it's what I want, both for non-slippage and decorative reasons.
I also know that it may not last years and years, but I don't mind reapplying. Also, I would prefer serious answers.... sure, I know it's funny to tell me to use Elmer's glue, but I need a real answer. Thanks to all who take the time to answer!!

I have a hard wood floor that I would like to polish, but I am too lazy to do the sanding. The floor doesn't look that bad. There are a few stains here and there. Will it look bad if I polish it without sanding?

I took out the trim and removed the old wooden window. The new window is the same size but I can't get it inside the frame because of the nailing fins. I've tried looking at the website and other website but it's really confusing. I can't understand the pictures at all. Am I suppose to fold over the bottom nailing fin and fold the sides over and nail it to the frame or cut into the window frame to get the window in there? I didn't think it would be this confusing..please help?

We have decided to swap the living room and dining rooms in our house, that is, use what is supposed to be a living room as the dining room, and visa versa. One problem is that the living room does not have an ceiling light. I would like to install some pendant lights in what is now the dining room for over the table.

My question is this... what is the best way to do this when there isn't an existing ceiling light?

The room has a wall socket that runs turns off/on using the light switch. I would like to tie it into that light switch, but don't want to have to cut into the ceiling and walls any more than is necessary.

Any advice would be great.
