Do It Yourself (DIY) - May 2007

I just replaced my old ceiling fan / lighting fixture with a new chandelier. The old fixture had two knobs on the wall – one for the light and one for the fan. I only need the one knob now. How do I remove the knob I don’t need anymore from the wall? Can I plaster over it?

I'm planning to paint my basement (concrete) floor and am looking for recommendations for a good quality concrete paint. I know that Behr makes it in various colors - is this the best brand for the job?
Also, are there any tips or tricks to making it come out great?
Thanks!

I currently have a chain garage door opener. Can I go to my local B&M store and buy a belt or screw drive opener and swap it with my current one with no problem? Will I need to change anything else on my garage door? For example, the center rail where the chain/pulley is housed... how will this work with a belt system? Is a new rail included with the new opener?

Thanks
