I’m running into tight finances and was wondering if anyone dumpster dives to find stuff to sell on eBay. Is this profitable? I see that lots of stuff can be found in dumpster, but I’m scared to give it a try. Please help.

lingomassa asked:
We renovated the basement, and the ducts running across the ceiling were not boxed in with drywall as we would of have to drop the ceiling down pretty low, so now theres drywall up until the ducts and then its the ducts and drywall on the other side, in between the ducts and the drywall theres is a small gap that runs along side which is so ugly, can i fill it with silicone? The thing is it about .5 of an inch so i dontknow where i can get silicone that would acutlly fit in that , any other ideas of how to get rid of the gap?

answerman3 asked: I want to drywall my basement (into concrete block), can the wide stud surface be facing out or do I have to build the frame first with the smaller edge of the stud facing out?
would there be problems running electrical if the large face of the stud was facing out? do the boxes need a certain depth?
I’ve tap-conned a couple of board but don’t want to go further if I have to build a frame with the small edge facing out. thanks.
hope this makes sense.

Katherine R asked:
Our toilet had been running the past couple of days and it got clogged without anyone knowing. Needless to say, we found out it was clogged when water was dripping downstairs from our kitchen light fixtures and ceiling. Do we have to replace the wet drywall? It seems it may have happened to owners before us because there are cracked paint bubbles in the same spot. Also, we live in year round warm climate where mold is a common issue.

APJ asked:
I have a little bit of mold growing on some drywall due to a leaky roof. The roof has been fixed and we are running a dehumidifier to remove the moisture. Is there anyway that the drywall can be cleaned instead of replaced? We are on such a tight budget. Also..what would kill the mold? I heard bleach, but don’t know if that is the best or if there is something better. Thank you!
Thank you all for your answers. I believe that replacing the drywall will obviously be our best move and we will just have to do that. Thanks once again.

Linda A. asked:
Your experience needed! Now that we removed our wallpaper using a professional steamer, we have a glue residue left on the drywall. How do we remove this safely? Running over the steamer over the areas just isn’t doing the trick, and Im concerned about damaging the drywall. Any advice?

Ken asked: I recently moved into a condo, and want to paint the walls. However, I noticed that in some spots where two sheets of drywall meet, there are vertical seams or bumps running from floor to ceiling.
Obviously, I would like to sand these bumps down before I paint, however, I am not sure what I need to do, or what supplies I should use.
Since I am not installing drywall, and there are no visible gaps between the drywall sheets, I wouldn’t think I would need to spackle. But I was wondering if anyone had any advice. Thanks!
