I need help building something for myself?
Ok. I want to build a workshop or laboratory where I can work on things in peace. I am either going to place it underground or on top of my garage. Can someone please give me a list of the materials I will need and a free software for me to design it. Thank you.

You can’t make a material list without making all the design decisions first. 1 Where will it be built, 2 How long, wide and tall, 3 Needs like electricity or plumbing, windows, Roof or ceiling type, What kind of work (metal, wood, chemical lab, etc) will you be doing in the workshop, What kind and how many tools will you use, What are the dimensions of material you will work on, How much "elbow" room will you need. How sturdy, chemical resistant, etc do the work surfaces need to be. Do you need power ventilation or dust collection. How big a door do you need to get stuff in and out. Will you need soundproofing, Will you need heat or ac, If on roof do you need an outside stairway.
Suggest you start with tool and workspace requirements and lay out a floor plan. Just put down the equipment in a drawing on a tablet. Then graph it out. Decide where you want it on your property, Then think about all the other requirement and design wall, window, doors, HVAC, electric outlets and lights, any plumbing and ceiling confiuration. Only then will you have a document that a materials list could be made from. Don’t forget to check with city or county building department to see about their requierments. They are friendly to home owners. I don’t suggest design software for a small project like this. There is a steep learning curve. Grid paper and pencils are cheap and easy.
What tools and skills do you possess. What tools will you need for each part of the project. What labor is realistic for you to do. What are you going to need help with. How can you access that help (friends, hired help)
How to books, online sites (google do it yourself) librarys, etc are sources for decision making.
Answer all these question and any more you can think of on a list on a tablet. You should then be able to design your project. Most building supply companies like Lowes or Home Depot will do a material list for you from your design. They are located at the Contractor Desk in the store. You might call them first to see if they have a person like this at a location near you. I bet they do. Good luck. How ever much work you think this will be. multiply what you think by five. Do not put much credence in someone telling you "it’s easy". Nothing in building is easy. I haven’t ever found an easy task in 40 years as a contractor. Anything is do-able. It’s just hard.

What’s the best way to store my emails for when the time comes to load a mass email list?
I am building a list of people who will be expecting regular emails from me. Right now it is only a few, but a time will come when it needs to be loaded into a mass emailing software. I want to store them right now to be able to load them into the mass emailer via copy/paste when the time comes? What would be the best way? Excel, Word doc with a space inbetween each one, etc? I’ve never done it before so I have no idea. TY in advance.
I personally use my own created database email storage system, I’m sure you can find a subscription email script somewhere on the internet, the only reason I’m saying this is because you are going to have to allow your clients to unsubscribe. Constant Contact is good, and if I’m not mistaking they allow import of excel ( I may be wrong ), but they do charge a monthly fee based on your list size. Don’t spam people, and make sure your emails are gotten legitimately.

Need software to create a database of my DVDs?
There’s supposed to be some good software out there to track your DVD library. You simply point your web cam at the DVDs and it builds the list automatically… but I can’t find it. Please help.
I don’t know about one that will recognize your movies via webcam, but a good program is Griffith - http://griffith.cc/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1
Griffith is an easy to use freeware media collection manager. You just type the name of the movie you wish to add to the library and it automatically pulls all the relevant information, cover images etc off the net from sites like imdb.com to create a searchable database of your collection. It also has the cool feature of being able to flag movies you have loaned to people and note who you’ve loaned it to.
