Hello I have two planks of wood that I hope to use as interior shelves. They are of pine and measure 3' x 6" x 1". One shelf would be attached to a brick wall and the other to a plaster-board wall. Neither shelf would hold anything heavy: perhaps ornaments. I can't really use either of them as a bookshelf because that would require two sides to act as book-stops and, besides, I am not sure if the plaster-board would hold the weight of books? All I have at the moment are the two planks of pine - no fittings or anything to attach them to either wall. I cannot access the other side of the brick wall, but on the other side of the plaster-board wall is my hallway. That plaster-board wall looks to be about 2" thick (I am assuming there are two plaster-boards placed back-to-back: one facing my small dining-room where the shelf will, hopefully, be set up, and the other facing my hallway). What would be the best way of putting up each shelf, please? Thank you. [COLOR=#800000]moderator note: member located in the UK. [/COLOR]

Hi, I am really not certain which thread was the best one to post this to. I own a bubble chair, similar to the ones here: [url=http://www.ebay.com/bhp/bubble-chair]Bubble Chair | eBay[/url] It is attached to my ceiling with a carabiner and a screw eye hook, that is solidly anchored to my attic. However, each time I sit in my chair, it squeaks very loudly, to the point where if there is the slight movement (and there always is), I cannot have a conversation with someone else, let alone watch a movie. Are there suggestions to reduce the friction / fix the problem? I know this is a odd question, and possibly there are no solutions, but I really would like to fix this. Thanks
