I have an idea for a household product, that I think would actually take off and people would buy. Any suggestions/ideas on where to begin? It would take some knowhow if I were to build a prototype, how do I begin to find those people? Can I go in front of a chain of sellers somehow (say, for example sake, WalMart) and just propose an idea? How do I get this started? I'm willing to talk personal email too if anyone has some serious advice. Thanks in advance...

My basement has an existing egress window but I am a little bit confused on the building code on whether a seperate egress window (for the bedroom) is needed when I add a new bedroom. Can I just build a new bedroom just right next to the existing egress window?

My front door is wood and was originally painted with oil base paint. The previous home owners painted over it with fresh latex paint when they put the house on the market. but shortly after we moved in it all pealed off . I'd like to paint it again but I'm not sure how much I'm suppose to sand before I prime it.

Other than "don't" does anyone have any hints on how to successfully make that first cut (cutting out wall doors) out of a full 4x8 sheet of birch fibercore? This is on a good table saw (shop). I can sometimes do it, but sometimes I can't keep that sucker straight and the blade will bind up. I have tried centering myself with the sheet, to the left of the blade, etc etc....but I'm in need of some tip/technique here....

When applying the tiles with adhesive they all fall down. We are putting them on the walls because ran out of other options. They look wonderful until the next morning when they are all on floor.

I notice in some of the crevices of the wood I just sanded, that there's still some sanding material in it. I rubbed it a bit....but it's not all out. Is there a more effective method of getting it all out...clean...and ready to stain?

We have cement steps leading to our front door. They are starting to crack and crumble so we are going to rip them out, but I need to know which is the best tool to do that with? Can you use just a standard sledge hammer or is there something out there that is better? Thanks.

Is it best to run hot,warm or cold water to make sure it drains out to the sewer. I live in an older home and was told my drains may have spurs in them that catch everything. And is bleach a good drain cleaner used once a week?

This is the first dress I've made that needs a zipper... I sewed it in last night but it was kind of puckery so I have to take it out and try again. If I use a zipper foot will that help? Any other suggestions?

The downstairs (two bedrooms, one bathroom, and a hallway) are rust-colored. I'd like to paint it a lavendar or peach or something more soothing. I've never painted before... should I do it myself or hire it? Does anybody have any tips if I do paint myself? Any color suggestions?
