We recently had our kitchen renovated and we had to tear down a portion of the wall. We never had a problem with ants until we did this. Now, no matter how much I wipe up after cooking dinner, when I wake up in the morning they are all over the countertop, in the sink, and even in the microwave. We ordered a pizza the other night and I placed it in the microwave to keep the ants out but they still got inside. I purchased this thick syrupy blue stuff. you're supposed to place a drop on the counter and they will eat it and take it back to the queen. It worked temporarily but they keep coming back. Any permanent solutions (aside from setting the whole house on fire...haha)?

Most cameras have a threaded hole in the bottom for a tripod mount. Where can I find a screw that fits this hole? I don't mind cutting it down if I have to, but the diamiter and threading must match.

Do you think that the Do-It-Yourself boom is taking work away from tradespersons? Like carpenters, electritians, plumbers.. etc? It seems that everyone is doing everything themselves, and that when you buy something like.. kitchen cabinets, they come with instructions for you to do it.. and not hire a professional like you used to do.

Just wondering.

Is it hard to wire a house? I went through voc school back when I was learning a trade. And I've watched hours of My Old House with Steve and I figured that I could wire it as good as anybody. Maybe I could get a book somewhere to show me, just to make sure I don't blow a fuse. I thought I could save money if I wired it all myself. Can I do this?

I have no trouble filling holes on the flat wall using a paint scraper to even it out, but I have trouble getting it nice and smooth on the corners. Im using stuff called Joint Filling Compound, I thought I could smooth it by running my finger down but it is not the right consistency for that. Is there a special tool I need?

I am making my own bridal veil and want to add some very small rhinestone embellishments. I've never done anything like this before and thought that maybe there was easy way to add rhinestones to the tulle fabric. Would something like the Bedazzler work for that, or would I be better off just using fabric glue? Any info or additional suggestions would be very helpful. Thank you.
