I have a table that has a 2x4 glued to it, the only thing holding it on there is a layer of wood glue. How do I melt the wood glue to get the board off? I tried prying it with several different tools but am just damaging the top of the table.

There is this system with a meandering system of black rubber hoses which are mounted to the roof of the house, and a little solar-powered motor pumps the water into the house's warm water boiler to reduce the amount of energy necessary to heat up the water in the house - who makes that? I want one.
Thanks.

We all know double pane glass keeps the heat inside the house better on cold days because of insulation values, but is there a difference between the two when it comes to sunlight shining in? After all, that works on a different physical basis, doesn't it? I'm only asking because I think it's quite handy that the sun heats up the house during the day, but it would be nice if that warmth would then stick around after sunset. It just wouldn't make sense to put in double-glazing to do that if it also means that the sun wouldn't heat up the house anymore.
Any ideas, anyone?
Thanks.

My front door is heavy wood. I have stained and polyurethaned it several times but it never lasts. Now it's chipped and peeling again. It has too many panels to be able to sand it. Any suggestions for removing the old finish and applying a finish that will last? Should I give up on staining and just paint it?

We have enough reptiles and amphibians to control the insect population anyhow. Besides, they're a danger to our pets, and
they're ugly little bastards! Are there any snakes that can eat them?

that i just got my hands on for free - it has some wear on the finish and some minor scratch damage I wanted to either paint it or strip it down and put a stain on it. I have never done this type of work before and i wonder what would be the best approach.

Thanks! :)

Ps. I dont know what type of wood it is (dont know if that makes a difference) its lighter color though
