My sister in law made a dry erase board out of a large piece of plexiglass. The problem is that dry erase markers stick like permanent markers and will only come off with alcohol or nail polish remover, which is ruining the board. Does anyone have any ideas on a cleaner or a different marker? Thanks for the help!

I am laying a new tile floor over plywood subfloor. I have Durock cement backerboard. The area I'm covering is only 4'3" x 6'8". I don't really want to put the money out for power saws ($60+) so I am planning to use a hand saw. What kind is most appropriate? Can I use a small utility knife for the smaller details?

I have a pretty old coin that from my understanding is pretty rare, but it looks like it is just very dirty. I need something like jewlery cleaner or something to brighten it up. Any advice on what I can use without damaging the coin?

I am building a deck outside my living room am\nd the dimensions are 8' wide by 24' long.It is 14' up at the highest point as I am on a hill. I'm using 2 by 6 joists with 2 by 12 headers. Here is what I want to do: someone told me to use a 1/4 in slope over 8 ft. for water run off. I want to tile the deck. Iwant to know what size plywood I should use and if there is some kind of waterproof fibreboard I can use as a base for the tile in lieu of laying down rubber for the base. I dont want sand or pitch due to the weight factor. Is there something fairly lightweight and waterproof suitable for a base for the tile? If so what is it called? and where can i get it? Thanks.

Our basement bedroom does not have insulation in ceiling between joists but it is possible to insulate from another area that is not finished but I would have to use the insulation which is blown in between the joists. Is this a good insulation and is it practical to do for noise reduction? Otherwise, we would have to tear out the ceiling in the bedroom and use the fiberglass insulation. Do you have any other ideas or suggestions for noise reduction? This is a new home.

We are redoing a room in our basement and currently it has no heat and/or cooling source. I had heard that a room, in order to be considered a finished room, needed a built in heat source i.e. heating vent or baseboard heating. What are the requirements?

Every now and then we hear a noise like a deep vibrating in the water pipes which stops when you turn the tap on for a while, anyone know what's causing this and how it can be resolved. Or if a plumber is needed how much should it cost? Thanks.

Hi, I wonder if anyone is knowledgeable about woodworking drills?

Here's the story. I am fitting new guitar tuners ( machine heads) to my guitar and they are, unfortunately, manufactured in Amerca. This means that the hole I need to bore in the headstock has to be 25/64" ths, which I take to mean "twenty-five sixty fourths of an inch..."

Please can someone tell me what the metric equivalent of this would be, I calculate it to be 9.7 mm, would this be correct? The nearest sizes I can find a our local store are 9 or 10 mm.
