Carpenters? I have a brand new house with an unfinished basement (cement floor and walls) and I have been having a lot of carpenters around lately, I have been using Raid but it's just a temporary fix. Is there an insecticide that I can get to use inside and/or outside to really take care of this problem?? This is really starting to become a problem. I also have 2 kittens and a dog so I have to keep them in mind when using any products. Please help! Thanks in advance.

Any carpenters in Windsor, Ontario...?price to put an opening in a wall? I had a previous question about putting an opening in an interior wall of my house between the kitchen and livingroom...sort of like a breakfast/ bar opening, to create a bigger living space...about 5' x 2 1/2' or so, and then making a simple shelf/counter there. Right now there is panelling covering both sides of the wall, when I push on the panelling, feels like there is a solid wall behind it but not too sure. And I want to try to figure out if it is bearing or not. My house is a 2 storey, with this wall being above the basement. Is there a way to figure out if bearing or not without tearing everything apart? What would the approximate cost be to do all this? Are there any carpenters from the Windsor, Ontario area out there??

Carpenters, what cordless set do you recommend? I have just started woodworking and would like to start a cordless collection. I'll start with the basics: drill, circular, palm sander, router. Can you all recommend a good brand. I know Dewalt is top of the line but it is out of my price range. My father has a small set of Ryobi 18v and seems happy with it. Is this a good set? Please also recommend some other necessary tools. I have several hand tools: screwdrivers, plyers, clamps. I'll probably start building simple projects: bookshelves, a ladder for a bunk bed, a child's drafting table.

Are there any carpenters out there? I need to build a small ramp to lay on while working on the plumbing under the sink. It needs to be 13.5" wide X 31" long and must go up to 6.5" high. I don't remember my high school math very well and I can't figure out the angles. I will be using 3/4" plywood for the top of the ramp. I don't have enough blankets and since I weigh 300 lbs, I need to have my whole body supported or my ribs will break. I've already tried twice to get to the water lines. Since the cabinet is 6.5" off the floor, I can't lay down to free both my hands without hurting my ribs.
