What should I use to attach this ceiling medallion? When I replaced this ceiling fan, and put a new one up, the bell shaped piece at the top was smaller, so the hole in the drywall is a little bigger than the that piece. I am DEFINITELY not dry-walling up there. I am just not sure of what type...

So, as I stated in the chat forum, the floor is rotten under the left side of my sliding glass doors, so they don't meet at the bottom. What are some pros and cons of each door type? The door opens up onto a screen in 10x20 porch, so weather isn't an issue. What do you prefer and why?

So.... around 7pm this evening, I go outside to make sure my plants are looking ok, and try to spread some more mulch out (since it is cooler) to make my container garden look a little better and to decrease the amount of mowing that needs to be done around them. So I pick up my containers, one...
