How do you repair the finish on a dining room table in just a small area? I was using my dining room table as an ironing board with only a towel to protect it, and I was using the steam setting. This, of course, ruined the finish on my table in that area. It didn't hurt the wood, but rather just the lacquer finish. Is there anyway to repair this without stripping, sanding and refinishing the whole table. This is a light wood table with no stain.
I need to build an LED indicator system for a board room, and have no idea how to do it. Help? I sit on a board along with 18 other representatives. We all sit there now with our arms waiving in the air when we have a comment. We look like a bunch of idiots. I would like to build a system with LEDs that would indicate to the chairperson when a Board Member has a comment. I in vision each person having an on and off switch with an indicator LED that they have their switch on. All 18 board members would be connected with thin wires to a console at the chairperson's seat. The console at the chairperson seat would need an indicator LED for each member and a reset button. The board room table is 25 feet long if that makes a difference. Could use batteries or plugged into the wall. I have never done anything like this before. I would need some fairly simple instructions. Any help would really be appreciated. Kyle
How do I refinishing a dining room table that has little scratches on the finish? The dining room table top is not solid wood, however it has a very thin veneer and a protective finish, The finish has a bunch of little scartches that do not cut into the veneer just the finish, can I use steel wool to lightly sand the top and then apply another coat of verathane or something else? The side have a few nicks that did go through to the particle board or whatever the wood is underneath, how do I fix that?
Homeschool set-ups! Where does your child homeschool? What room? Dining room table? Me and my wife have a whole room in our house that is the classroom ...we have 2 desks one for each of our kids. We have a real standard size chalkboard, bulletin boards (that my wife decorates) we have artwork on the walls ....we have a computer desk with 2 side by side computers for the kids to use. My wife has her laptop to use. We have a high price copy machine/ printer and scanner....for all worksheets. We have a reading area, also writing area. I love it....I was just wondering what kind of set ups other parents have for their homeschooled children? Is it the dining room table? Ours use to be while we were waiting to get our classroom furniture in. :) God Bless Homeschooling Families! (cause it's truly a labor of love)
How can I paint my dining room table? The base is wood but the top is manufactured material...? In an effort to save some money, my boyfriend and I bought a used dining room table that has a nice wood pedastool base, but the table surface itself is some sort of particle board or veneer (made to look like wood)? Not sure really. Can I still maybe prime that surface and paint it along with sanding and painting the base without them coming out different? Do I need to apply a protective clear coat or do they make paints for furniture that dont need it? Im not to excited about a super shiny finish either, but if it needs to be... Any advice would be helpful! Specifically, what kinds of primer or paints might work. Im new to refinishing furniture.. (I'd like to go to a solid dark esspresso or a black antiqued finish to match some other furniture). I also plan on doing the wood chairs, a coffee table, and maybe a side table if this works out! Ok, so do you guys suggest spray paint primers, paints, and polyurathanes or the good old fashioned brush on kind? I feel like spray would be easier and create a more uniform texture but I run the risk of drips and such... Any ideas?

I am turning my garage into a game room. What color should I paint the walls? I have a black pool table in it. The felt on the pool table is purple and I am going to put a black and white checker board design tile on the floor. I also have a couple of brown cabinets on the walls, would you leave them brown or paint them? If I should paint them, what color? Would you paint the garage door also? It is white. I am thinking of going with a football theme for decorations. The N.O. Saints are my favorite team. I have a black refigerator, white deep freezer, and black t.v. in the room.
The search for a cancer cure? There have been so many years of pain, misery and hardship caused by cancer. Surely it's about time the massive pharmaceutical companies combined their research efforts and channelled some of their astronomical profits and knowhow into a worlwide research project. No personal glory here, but with plenty of shared knowledge, and co operation across the laboratory and board room table. This ground breaking scheme could be strictly monitored by an International team with the sole target of a cure to many cancers, and to diseases like AIDS. After successful screening of drugs there would be free access to all in need. No private medical or NHS control. Is this just 'pie in the sky', or is there someone out there with the power and inititiave to carry it through?! What do you think?

Retro Dining Room Table Repair? I have a table from the 1950's, it is particle board underneath which is making it hard for me to to screw anything to the bottom of the table to brace it. -I've tried metal brackets to attempt to brace the center of the table, which worked for about 10 minutes until the screws pulled out of the 50 year particle board. - I don't know what the best way to repair this table is, my current attempt is to glue another piece of wood to the bottom of the current table and attach braces running the entire length of the table attached to the new piece of wood. -I would appreciate any and all help with the matter because it would cost way to much to find this table again due to its age. Thanks Alot
How do i tell my boss his zipper was open during a very important presentation? Without making it sound like i was staring at his crotch every time he stood up? To boot, I think he had a semi, so I dont want him to think i was checking that out as well since he would obviously know if he did. Naturally if this only happened one time i would not say anything, but every time he stands up in our board room from the table, his zipper is down. I feel bad for him and know people talk and don't want him to continue to look like a fool but i also dont want him to think I am interested in "the zipper"!

Y&R: Is It Possible For The NEWMAN/ABBOTT Feud To End With NICK And BILLY ...? Can this next generation cool their emotions long enough to iron out their differences at the board-room table? Or is Billy too prideful to admit he was wrong in vindictively taking out his aggravation on Victoria, and Nick too prideful to overlook the outrageous stuff that Billy's done to his family (namely Victoria, I don't give a rat's behind about what he's done to the Old Dragon-Demon Victor) and make the first move?

Weird Dream About a Ouija Board? The other night my friends and I were talking about getting together to do a Ouija board. I've never done one and don't know much about them. Anyways, that night I had a weird dream. We were all playing Ouija Board around my dining room table and it was my turn. The Ouija Board was actually shaped as a skull. I asked it "What will be the best thing to happen in my life?" All of the sudden flames started shooting out of the skull, and then in spat out a copy of a record by The Doors. The record has the song The End on it and the board spelled out something along the lines of "Take this as a hint, this is the end my only friend." So it was pretty much telling me I'm going to die. Does this dream mean anything? Anyone know a lot about Ouija boards?

How much money will I need to redecorate my room? I am trying to spice up my room this summer for Grade 8. I want to add a few pillows to my bed, 2 desk chairs, a beanbag, 2 underbed bins, a side table and a small work table.

I am mostly shopping in thrift stores, going to sales and using coupons. How much money might this cost?
Where can I find an antique-looking dart board & cabinet? (Preferably navy blue)? I just purchased an 1890 victorian home with a beautiful mahogany wood game parlor. I'm trying to find an antique or antique-looking bristle dart board for the room, but the only ones I find online are very modern and have sports emblems on them. The color of the pool table in the room is navy blue felt and deep mahogany wood. I'd like to keep that same color scheme for the dartboard if I can.
How much MONEY would a GAME ROOM be? My school is doing a fundraiser (another one) for a game room. Just a couple small tables and chairs with some board games, maybe even a tv with a game cube or something. How much money would this all be if all done really cheaply?
Is this TRUE?? Nearly 50 percent of Gay/Bisexual men are HIV +? I was watching this YOUTUBE clip and it really had me thinking it is only (41 seconds) long. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQdEL50gtDk&NR=1 QUESTION FOR YOU: 1. Do you believe these statistics are true? 2. If the statistics are true, what should be our plan of action to deal with this? 3. I know many of you will say it is about morals and values and people should keep there pants up. That is a "cute" argument, however, in reality our young teenagers and mid 20 brothers and sisters will have "experimental sex." What do you do to help curve the risk. (YOU ARE AT THE BOARD ROOM TABLE MAKING COSMIC DECISIONS THAT WILL EFFECT THIS NATION) My suggestion would be to create a data base for hiv positive people and make it available to non-hiv people so that they are able to check before engaging in sex. WHAT WOULD YOUR POLICY/INTERVENTION STRATEGY ?
Has anyone ever had/heard of above ground pool with diving board? Can it be deep enough with a custom liner? I read in an earlier answer of going as deep as you want with a customer liner but how deep? Deep enough to have a diving board or is that just too deep? What kind of ground prep would be required? We've looked into an inground pool but in our area (West MI) they're $40-50K. We're looking for a more affordable option. We have plenty of room but a high water table. Any help or websites you can direct me to would be helpful. Thanks.

How to makeover a school conference room? My elementary school has a conference room with a mish-mash of items. The soundproofing on the walls is gray (on one wall). The carpet is red - yikes, but no changing that. The room is very dark and dingy with old furniture that does not go together. I'm trying to give it a makeover to make it a calming pleasant place to be - not a dark dungeon. My first thought - chair covers; maybe a table runner in a bright color; and some sort of window treatment with color. One wall is a white board (floor to ceiling), another is the gray soundproofing and the other two are a beige type color (maybe once upon a time white). There are 3 small windows - but being in Alaska it doesn't bring in much light during the winter. Any ideas to make this dark dreary room into a beautiful comfortable space?
How can I get a full board break in a popular resort with en-suite, TV, good food & entertaiment for free? I've heard of a resort, that's so popular, people keep coming back to it. You get the usual private room with TV & en-suite. The stay is full board, so all meals are included. There's an on-site library, computer access, table tennis, snooker etc. Or perhaps you prefer chess or cards? The site boasts of security that the Hilton Hotels can't match. No suicide bomber will disturb you in this place. There's a laundry on-site. You can even study new subject, like art and even try for a qualification if you like. This place is very relaxing and attracts like minded people who seem to share common interests. Best of all - it's free if you qualify. I really want a break in this popular place. Imagine - After a good meal, I'll play a little pool, read in the library, then retire to my room to watch TV & chill. No wonder some lucky people return again and again. Perhaps you've heard of the resort? It's called a "Prison". So how do people qualify for this cushy resort?
I can longer see the whole of my Literati board? Usually, having selected a Literati room, when I click "create table" a table appears full screen showing me and my opponent, the literati board and my letters - plus room at the bottom for how the score is calculated, and space to send and receive messages to and from him/her - but I can now only see part of the table
What color coffee table would go best with my other furniture? I have a birch wood entertainment center, and a light blue sofa (it is the hydra color sofa from Rooms 2 Go). I am going for a beachy look & feel. Our walls are a sand color with white bead board half way up. Would a white coffee table look out of place with the birch colored entertainment center? I thought if I got a birch coffee table it would be too matchy matchy...I would like to know others' opinions on this. Thx!
Does anyone know what a cabinet that you can pull a "table" from, and has fold up chairs inside is called? I saw this cabinet at a friend's house, he got it from his grandparents, and has no idea where they got it from. The cabinet is kindof old, probably from the 60's or 70's. It's really cool, the table slides out from where the drawers would be, and has boards that you use to extend it to make it larger. The chairs are actually quite large and fold up to about a 2x2 square. The whole cabinet is probably 4 1/2 feet long and about 3 feet high. Not very big, but a great piece of furniture for a small game room. I want one! Any help would be great, I want to search ebay or something to find one, but, gotta know what to look for. Thanks!
What will add more value and have a better appearance in a family/rec room - tile or hardwood? We recently converted a two car garage (550 square feet) into a family/rec room. One side will have a large sofa and propane stove with large tv etc. The other side will have a bar, pool table and dart board set. The room is large and open. We are considering either tile or hardwood....#1 - what will last longer and #2 - add the most value to our home and #3 have the most appeal (warm, welcoming, etc) (we have no intention of selling, just want to get the best value i.e. if we were to have it appraised what would add the most value based on #1-#3?

will this work for a heat protection table pad? I am looking to make a table pad to protect my dining room table, as I do not want to spend $250 buying a custom one. Do you think the following would work or do you have a better idea. The base will be felted to protect the table, on top of the felt will be a layer of corrugated card board, above this will be a layer of 1/4" foam core card (often used for displays) above this another layer of corugated card (90 degrees to the first for strength) and then the top/ sides will be wood patterned vinyl fabric, offering protection from spills. Do you think this will offer full protection from hot plates/ spills etc. How would you do it? Thanks

How does max-security prison visitation work? For a novel I'm working on, I need to know the details of how a maximum-security visit usually goes. I have an uncle who was formerly in max-security; when we (my family) visited him, it was in an open visitation room with dozens of tables, board games, and vending machines--rather like a mall food court, except with security everywhere. That is generally my perception of max-security visitation. However, I've also seen scenarios where max-security visits take place sitting on the opposite sides of glass, talking through a speaker. This might particularly be the case here, as the reason my character is in max-security in the first place is for attacking a visitor when he was in med-security. So, like, does anyone watch "Prison Break" or such shows? Are there different policies for different facilities? If it IS the behind-glass conversation, would it be tape-recorded? And, crucially, WHO can visit? Just family? Anyone with specific permission? Anyone at all? Thanks! - RedFox

Any suggestions for a math teacher having to teach in a science lab with an immobile, unwanted demo table.? I am a first year teacher and I just saw my classroom for the first time today. Unfortunately, my excitement faded when I found that I was given a science lab to teach math in. In the front of the room is a very large demonstration table and eye wash station, both of which are immoveable. I have a dry erase board to use, but it is behind the table, putting the students at least 10-15 feet away. There is no way to move the dry erase board sonce the side walls are lined with cabinets, and the back wall has a door opening leading to the room next door. Does anyone have suggestions to help me?
How does this sound guys? I just started writing this story, and I'm wondering how it sounds so far. Any constructive criticism is welcome. I know it's a little long but I didn't want to cut it off anywhere, sorry! "This will be the ultimate test," Christopher said, pausing to glare at the faces of the council gathered around the large board table. Each of them stared back, hanging on to his every word as always. Each of them, that is, except Geoffrey. Whereas the others' eyes were hopeful and trusting, Geoffrey's eyes were dull with disbelief. They even held a degree of contempt. Christopher turned away from Geoffrey's cold gaze and continued. "Since the begininning of our time, We have faced criticism and doubt. The world is losing the faith that once came so easily to us. The word of our Lord is not enough," he paused, his dark eyes flashing. "Yes, this will proove it once and for all." Geoffrey opened his mouth to protest but didn't get a syllable in edgewise. "This is not up for discussion," Christopher snapped. "We will go through with this experiment and that is all. Dismissed." Geoffrey swallowed his protest. He stood up abruptly and swept from the room, pausing in the hallway to intercept Christopher. This was not over. Not so long as he had a breath in his body. He waited patiently as the rest of the council filed out of the board room, chattering excitedly amongst themselves. It was all he could do to keep himself from losing it completely and launching into a tirade. Finally, Christopher's birdlike face emerged from the doorway. "Sir," Geoffrey bowed slightly, as slightly as he could get away with. "If you have a minute to --" "I thought I made myself quite clear," Christopher paused only to tighten his robe, and continued down the dimly lit hallway towards the doors. "You are a Junior in this House, and as such you have no real pull in it's goings-on." "But Sir," Geoffrey persisted, trying to keep up, "what you are suggesting is insane! It would mean creating a whole new society, not even on this earth, keeping them completely isolated for years, trying to keep them from figuring out the real reason they're there... I mean is it really plausible? Do we have the resources to support this?" At this, Christopher laughed. He stopped suddenly and whirled to face Geoffrey, his dark eyes penetrating Geoffrey to the core. "Listen. This House is among the richest of all Houses in the Order. Several members of our council are very rich indeed. We have the support of the state, as well as the country. This could very well change the world, and religion, as we know it. We've already cleared all the red-tape, Geoffrey, and you'd be best to stand down and not give me any more trouble. You are as disposable as you are bothersome." With that, Christopher turned and walked through the heavy doors of the House and disappeared into the night. "Shit," Geoffrey said under his breath. Words were failing him again and again. "Shit!" He stormed out of the House and into the darkness, towards his Common Area. Thanks guys. If there are parts that you feel were akward or could have been better, please suggest what you would liked to have read instead :)
Does the London Tourism Board ever check on the condition of accomodation offered in London? I spent the night at the Driscoll House Hotel at 172 New Kent Road and it was a really shocking experience that anyone could be asked to pay money to stay in such accomodation. The building on the exterior is very presentable and a unique one but the inside is something out of a bad dream. The furniture in the rooms are broken and battered, the taps run, the water pipes are exposed and run through the room (ie: the hot water copper pipes run next to your bed), the windows are stuffed with newspaper where there are gaps and there are no radios, tv's,or any type of modern amenity. They offer meals which are eaten at large wooden tables and quite frankly that was a risk I was not going to take. The rate is £30.00 per night and £150.00 a week and they are aiming at foreign tourists. Altogether a frightening experience. The only plus was that although the bedlinen had a few holes here and there it was crisp and clean. That was the only plus.
Have ideas to keep multiple children well behaved and entertained while babysitting? Ok, our church is having a consignment sale and I am scheduled to keep nursery 3 nights in a row. There could be up to 15 kids in the room, with myself, my friend, and possibly someone else helping us. The room has a table, about 10 chairs, a white board, and no power except the lights. I need ideas for the kids to keep themselves entertained and to keep myself from tiring out too easily. I have music available because I have an iFlop, but I'm afraid they will get bored of music, dancing, singing, coloring, and board games after a while. I need some good games and/or crafts. HELP!
