My kitchen is layed with porous homogenised ceramic tiles and they get stained very easily that I need to bleach my floor regularly. Is it possible for me to coat the tiles with a lacquer or some kind of sealant (without making them slippery) to maintain the look and cleaniness less tediously?

1000 lbs of really old hay in hay loft. Looks like I am going to have to cut through the floor and let it drop down.
Has raccoon poop, bird poop, and maybe some dead animals in there too. Setting fire to entire barn is not an option. My thoughts are to burn the hay outside of the barn... Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Concrete pediments must be easy to make by someone who has patience and a great artistic flare? Any important points for me to be aware of? Build lots so just need ideas on how to make best templates. Good with welding, construction etc. If I weld a form, how do I remove the pediment once it has set?

Using ONLY supplies from Home Depot or Lowe's, is it realistic, or even possible for two people, using only their hands, a truck, and a floor plan, to construct an entire house by themselves? If so, what will the cost be compared to buying the house already made?

My wife has an old dressor that is a family heirloom.She doesn't want to restore it without knowing it won't effect its value (a matter of originallity). It has come apart a bit and is in need of restoration. Can I just glue it back together with clamps, sand it down and throw a clear coat finish on it?

Should i be using a wet cement base of should it all be leveled off with sand first and then paved ontop? what type of sand should i be using?

I am replacing a twenty year old steam boiler and steam radiators to a radiant floor system. I am so confused by the number of choices to heat the water for this system. I could use a traditional boiler, a tankless hot water heater, or even a wall hung combination boiler and tankless hot water system. What is the most efficient system that will offer the lowest heating costs? I can use either oil or propane. Natural gas is not available in my area. My house is a 1100 sqft cape. Thanks for the help!

I have a small shed-like structure in the backyard that I plan on using as an outdoor escape. I am going to install a cable box, dvd player, mini-fridge, 60" HDTV and some other very small appliances. Where can I get an outdoor extension cord (long, 100' to 200') to support this type of demand? I am sure it will cost a couple of hundred dollars, but it's far cheaper to plug this into an existing patio outlet than to hire someone to perform electrical work. Please send me as many direct links as you can, and thanks for reading...

I have some holes drilled into the my custom cabinetry that are to be used for running wires between AV equipment. I was wiring everything up and found that the holes are too small so I need to make them bigger. They're probably 2inches wide right now and I need to double it.

I'm afraid to use a standard hold driller because it assumes that you have something to that the drill can bite into, whereas I have a hole where there would normally be wood.

Any suggestions? P.S. the wood is about 2.5 inches thick.

Thanks!
