Has anyone one experienced a a cracking in the ceiling plaster as a result of painting? There were absolutely no cracks in the plaster before I began. Now that I finished, I can see several small areas where the plaster is peeling right off. What should I do?

I have an unfinished bsmt. I want to finish it but don't know if I should do do drywall for my walls and what to look for before starting. I know that when it rains that the walls be wet and I'm assuming that's normal but there's a big stain on the one wall and I'm not sure if it's mold. So before finishing my bsmt what should I do first? And do you think that my dad and I will be able to do it ourselves? I also wanted dropped ceilings. Any advise???? Thanks Nina J

I'm looking to run Cable TV wire from one bedroom to another under the carpet. I was told that normally there is a small space between the wall and wood tack strip that your carpet attaches to. I plan on running the wire along this small space and once a reach the bedroom wall, I plan on making a hole in the wall big enough to fish the wire through.
My question is: If I pull up the carpet to accomplish this task will the carpet attach back to the wood tack strip? If not, is there some sort of carpet glue that I should buy to glue the carpet back down?
Any help would be appreciated.

We bought a propane kitchen stove and my fiance wants to install all the copper pipe and wiring and such for the stove himself then have the propane company connect the tank. is that safe? should we let the propane company do it for us? It costs alot more then we want to pay to have it done by them.

The blade is attached by slipping one hole onto the post of the bracket and then screwing in the bolt and lockwasher to secure it. The threads on the bracket receiving the bolt are worn and the blade needs to be retightened VERY often. The bracket looks to be easily replaced by removing two escutcheon pins that attach it to the main shaft.
My model is Craftsman Auto Scroller Saw 315.26750 and newer versions have great fastener brackets. I don't know if they are compatible with mine. The Sears website only carries the entire front end of the saw as a replacement part.
If I retap the bolt bracket, then I will probably have to increase the diameter and thus have to ream each new blade to size before using it. Not a pleasant prospect.
The saw is still very powerful and useful. Does anyone have a recommended solution?

I am making 12 shirts for a work function. I have been looking all over the internet but need a cheaper alternative. I have heard that printing off my own screen prints and ironing them on will not last. Any ideas or suggestions?
