Do It Yourself (DIY) - December 2007

My plan was to take four 1X6 boards and build a frame (rectangle) and nail it to the wall and ceiling above my bed. stain it and attach some sheer panels to it with a nail gun. this will be over a low profile queen sized bed. i built the base for the bed (using that instead of a frame and box spring). I want clean lines and a simple contemporary look.

What's the best way to go about doing this?

I have a GE Spacemaker 1800, microwave such as the ones hanging (bolted) over the oven. Somehow one day as i wanted to warm a cup of milk, i set the time to one minute and left it to get hot. When i took the cup of milk out, it was the same temperature as before.....the microwave works great (still spins it's table, has working lights, makes the nosies and everything besides heating the item up). I hope you could help me thanks with an understanding of whats happening thanks.

I need to paint my room. 3 parts of the wall consists of cement walls and the other one is wood. There's old paint on it already. It's not chipping yet but it has crayola stains. Now If I was to repaint these walls, what would be the best approach to do so? Do I just paint over everything or slap wall putty 1st then sand it and paint it? Profesional advice please.

We want to replace laminant tile with ceramic, and replace a vanity sink with pedistel sink. We aren't plumbers so curious if we should do sink or floor first. Also how difficult is the sink? I think we will leave the floor to experts.

Is there such a product and where to buy it? I'm making kitchen mats from soft material and would like to spray the backs with rubber or something similar to make them non-slip (like the bathroom mats you can buy). Any ideas?

I'm trying to hang a picture on a sheet rocked wall and I keep hitting something behind the sheet rock that "rejects" my nail. It is not a wooden stud. My nail kind of "bounces" off this stuff and cannot be pounded into this stuff no matter how hard I pound. I've had this same trouble in an apartment wall and was able to get a screw through the "stuff". I'm just wondering what is this "stuff" and why can't I penatrate it with a nail...

The elevator in my condo building has been vandalized with scratches. The board (which I'm on) is too thrifty to hire a pro to fix it, so I'd like to try. My initial thought was a wire wheel or cupped wire wheel, but I wonder how the pros or DIYers do it. thanks!
