The title is the question. Recently my grandfather passed away and we have one original copy of his thesis in Psychology. I have it but want feel like it should go to my uncle, his son. I'd like to have a copy made for myself to keep but have no idea where to start on getting a quality copy made. I've looked online locally but my area doesn't have anyone for that service. I've seen some websites that claim to do it but would appreciate some recommendations from people. It's kind of a scary thought mailing it off to some random place. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi All,

I'm having trouble getting rid of this stain around my bathroom drain stopper. I saw a video where someone used hydrogen peroxide to clean a similar stain, and it worked for them. But as you can see, I didn't have the same luck. I think the stain might be from water that sits around the drain, but I'm not sure how to prevent the water from collecting there. I'd appreciate any advice or suggestions.

It would be fairly large, maybe 2 or 3 feet tall. If you must know, it's going to be a huge rat! I know how to do paper mache but that isn't waterproof. Could I use paper mache as a base and then use a more waterproof material over it or would that collapse? Could I fill the paper mache with something so it keeps its shape under the weight?

There is massive build up in my oven (it started smoking the last time I turned it on). The bottom heating element lifts up but the top heating element doesn't move and there is tons of buildup that needs to be cleaned off the top of the oven under the heating element. My owner's manual doesn't even mention the top heating element at all, and it doesn't appear to be designed to be removed.

I could probably use an plastic scraper and scrap some off in the space between the element and the top of the oven but it's going to get the heating element very dirty when it comes off and I'm not sure how much I'll actually be able to get off. I could gently wipe the heating element off after but it would probably be hard to make sure it get it all as there isn't a lot of space.

I'd appreciate any insight into cleaning the top of an electric oven with a top non removeable heating element. Thanks

I had a sump pump after the water table changed enough that my sump hole was starting to fill up on a semi regular occasion. because of where the discharge from the house is, it’s about 4-5 feet up and then has a 90° discharge onto the ground. It’s about a foot to 18 inches away from the house.

I currently have a simple splash block it, which gets it another 2 feet away from the house. I know this isn’t the correct solution long-term, but it was better than just straight onto the ground to start with. I did have a couple different companies come out and get quotes on trenching and putting in the discharge pipe to the woods. Every quote I got was in excess of $3000.

In know I can probably do it myself. Is the best option since it freezes here in the north to do a 4” double walled corrugated pipe to the woods? I know I would need a downward slope but not sure how much or if I can just leave the trench I would dig as dirt or if I need to line it with anything?
