We have a two story house and would like to hang a chandelier over the dinning table. There is not one currently there, plus there is no attic access. Is there any other way, other than to tear up a lot of the ceiling and notch the beams acroos to the fixture to get electrical wiring to it? My husband is a great electrician and great w/ drywall as well- the problem is the ceiling has a slight texture. From a prvious leak and repair, I know how hard that is to fix so it is not obvious. With the light from a chandelier, it would almost have to be perfect.

Any tips, suggestions or things I 've not thought of would be appreciated. Thanks!

What is the formula for Btu vs room size?
I don't want this to be oversized either as I don't have a lot of power options & I'm trying to squeeze everything I can from (1) 15Amp circuit.This room will also have (2) c. fans, a mini-frig, (2) small flat screen tvs, a stereo & some lights.
Because of all this & my reluctance to put in another circuit, it needs to be (as close to) exactly the right size unit as possible so it'll work, but not pull too much amperage.

Ewww. I just found a cockroach on the inside of my apartment's window screen, and after setting out a jar of cockroach bait (with sugar and baking soda in it) promptly shut the window, trapping it. Now I'm freaked out, though! How long will it live after eating the bait? I keep a VERY clean apartment, so I have no idea where it came from?! I'm going to call my landlord to have the apartment sprayed, but it could take a few days to get a bug sprayer scheduled. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

My doors hare made of wood (mahogany) with metal locks, and the windows have jealouses with metal bars for protection. Despite that, my house was recently burglarized and we need more protective measures.

Latex:

I have a rinse bucket (5 gal.) that accumulates a latex sludge on the bottom. What type of filter/filtering jig could I use to get that water as pollutant free as possible for dumping it down the drain?

The water tends to mildew over time. Any way to prevent this?


Oil and latex:

I use a fabric softener and water mixture for keeping the brushes soft. This is the last stage of clean up in the cases of either type of paint being used.

This mixture likes to build up a mildew looking skin on the top surface...any ideas? I'm not too crazy about the idea of simply dumping fabric softener, water, and latex/oil residues down the drain.
