I got a used fiberglass surf board and want to make it into a coffee table.

Fiberglass is pretty fragile, so if I drill a bunch of screws in it everything will probably just fall apart.

I also thought of just getting a glass top coffee table, take off the glass, and nail the surfboard to it.

Can any handy master give me step-by-step suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Well, we have to make a model on anything we’d like to. And our team has chosen the topic of a building of the future. Due to vertical expansion of cities, it has to be a skyscraper with maximum optimizations. Some of them are:–

* Interlocking floors for higher stability, providing more height.
* Tapering upwards, again for stability AND sunlight for the bottom floors and the buildings around.
* Solar panels on the side of the buildings that gets Sun in the afternoon for optimum money to energy ratio
* Foldable furniture inside the office rooms to conserve space, since there is an increasing shortage of space per capita.
* Elasticity against hurricanes and a pendulum inside the top floor to regain balance.
* Helipads for quick transport, which would be a expensive but not uncommon mode of transport by then.

I need help with the following topics:–

* Transportation through the building (Elevators, Escalators, optimum to minimize crowding)
* Emergency exits
* Ventilation
* Structural help against earthquakes
* Minimizing electricity wastage and the arrangement of electrical lines to not let the Thrust created by the current (By the Fleming’s Left Hand Rule) to weaken the building itself.
* Materials to be used for construction
* Waste disposal.
* The base of the building, so that the building doesn’t sink inside the ground by its own weight.
* Anything else you can think of.

Also it is nice to have a greenhouse on the top floors? Just asking
Need more physics+practicality. Thanks for your help. @ Tfanny: Excuse me, but windproof windows? Also methanol is derived from organic compounds and what do we make of office waste. i.e. metal, glass, paper, etc.?
And isn’t concrete+iron rods already used for foundations? Any stronger combos? Thanks.

Guys, I would appreciate detailed info on how and why of the improvements. Thanks.

My am in college and next semester my best friend and I are getting an apartment together. She is kind of boyish and I am super girly. We will each have our own bedrooms and bathrooms and she said that I could decorate our Living room, kitchen, and dining room as well. I basically have two parts to my question:
1.) When decorating my room and bathroom, I have no furniture yet so it is a blank canvas. Where can I find some cheap durable pieces that I can transfer to my house when I graduate? Also, where are some cute decorating ideas? I love the home interior kind of stuff with the wrought iron and etc, but I am still yound and want to incorporate livliness! I also love pink and green. Where can I find cute accessories?
2.) For the living room and dining room, we have antique furniture that is very not our style. I will have to work around it until we can save for others. How can I modernize it and where can I find cheap but classy looking stuff to replace it? Thanks!

I just recently moved out of my old hell hole apartment complex but left behind my glass top that fits into the wells of my coffee table. When I went back to look for it the property manager said that it was taken away..the *******. Where can I find another cut and how do I go about getting it? It wouldn’t be such a big deal but this is an expensive antique marble table. Thanks.
How much would this cost me?

I could see maybe if it were a twin sized bed or maybe even a full, but why on earth would they think only one nightstand would suffice for a queen or king sized bed that two people sleep in? Why do the furniture people do that?

My family has offered me some furniture from a deceased relative’s apartment. I cannot have furniture in my apartment unless it is antiallergic. How do you determine if the furniture is antiallergic?
