I have carpet glued to my basement floor. I need to remove the carpet so I can lay vinyl tile. I imagine the glue holding the carpet will leave residue that the self-adhesive vinyl floor tile isn't going to like. Can I coat it, can I sand it, or do I have to completely strip it? Any suggestions on a method for preparing the floor along with any recommended coatings or solvents would be helpful. Thanks!

I'm 17 years old, over 6 foot tall and unfortunate enough to live in the tiny box room whilst my sister who's half the size of me, gets the biggest room in the house (she is older though)

Anyway, I'm decorating my bedroom again and need ideas for a space saving bed, preferably one that I can fit a desk under so I have space for my PC. Trouble is, all these types of beds are either a) designed for kids that are 2 foot tall or b) ridiculously expensive.

My dad suggested that I get plans for building one and he'd do it himself, but I can't find any, nor can I find any for sale that don't match the criteria I said above, all I get is 'childrens cabin beds' (I don't want a cabin bed, I want one that folds away)

Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

I can't find any pictures online of what I'm thinking of, so maybe I'm using the wrong terminology. It's the type of wood furniture that looks like it was once one color and then painted over with a different color (usually a lighter color) and the top paint looks like it's cracking a bit and it reveals the color underneath. Or it looks like it's been scratched or bumped revealing the color underneath.

I want to learn how to paint (or whatever the process is) some older wood furniture, so that it looks like I've described. Does anyone know the steps? What products to use? Also, what if the wood already has some sort of varnish on it, how do I remove it easily, or do I need to?

Thanks!

What do you use to sand the wood (hand sanding, orbital etc)? any specific brand or type of polyurathane or polyacrylic finish?

I have seen a hand held drill before and can't think of the name of it now. It isn't a power tool... it has a wooden sort of bulb on top that you hold and looks similar to a screw driver on the bottom but is very pointy. You spin it in between your hands to drill the hole. I want to find one to put holes in the sides of some CDs and can't remember the darn name! Thanks!

I would like to know if anyone has a ruff idea of the timeframe it takes for copper or brass to melt in a waste oil furnace. I am using a #8 crucible and can fit about 7lbs of either material in it at a time. I know that using propane it can take about 45 minutes but since I am using waste oil and it is direct heat surely the timeframe must be less.

Hi can anyone give me a hand here, basically I have the below fuse box and the other night the light downstairs blew, and once we put a new bulb in and reset the circuit, the individual circuit for upstairs sockets wont reset, it just wont stay up, what do i need to get to get it working again? Can you pull them out and they have a little fuse behind or what?

I am moving into a house at the end of the month and it has 2 stairwells. So I would need to install 4 baby safety gates for my 15 month old's protection. Are they easy to install or should I get someone to do it?
