Thank you Jon, I always enjoy dining from your buffet of knowledge.

I bought a duplex. The frame of the back door where the deadbolt goes in is torn to hell from what looks like a break-in. The actual hole where the deadbolt fits in is damaged. The door still locks with the deadbolt, but is very shaky and just looks like crap as well. The damage also has split some of the frame on the inside of the door.

Looks like an interesting project... how do you fix something like this?

Would hardwoods have been a better choice for these types of renters?

Thanks. I'll try the acetone if there are no other suggestions.

There are quarter/half dollar size chunks of (old) carpet padding on the hardwoods of a unit I just bought. They are so old, the chunks have more of a hard "gummy" texture to them and are stuck quite nicely to the floors.

What are some of the best methods to remove the padding residue without sacrificing the beautiful hardwoods? :help:

A sad day indeed. I would encourage open minded individuals to do a bit of research on the official story. We were decieved that day, and the families deserve the truth and deserve justice for those who were actually involved in carrying out the events.
