How do you build a table for 12 people?

How do you take glue off a painted wall?
You can try scraping it off with a putty knife. If you happen to gouge the drywall in the process, use drywall mud over the spot, smooth it over with a putty knife. After it dries, try sanding it. If it is still not flat, scrape on a bit more drywall, allow to dry and sand again.
Use a miter box or a miter saw.
First, some assumptions:
A) The moulding used has a 45 degree "spring" or slope.
B) the corner you are cutting, inside or outside is 90 degrees.
There are 2 ways to do this, depending on whether you have a simple mitre saw, or one with compound mitre/bevel capability.
1) Using a mitre saw ( no compound bevel capability):
Place the "top" (ceiling) edge of the moulding closest to you, on the saw bed.
Place the "bottom" edge on the fence of the saw.
Position the molding at a 45 degree slope between the bed and the fence.
The molding is now bridging the bed of the saw to the fence at 45 degrees.
Set the saw mitre to 45 degrees and cut the molding
Cut.
For the mating piece, reverse the blade miter and bevel, and cut with the material pointing from from the opposite side of the blade.
2) Using a compound mitre saw (compound miter & bevel capability):
Place the back of the moulding flat on the bed of the saw.
The "bottom" edge goes against the fence
The "top" (ceiling) edge is closest to you.
Set the saw miter to 35.3 degrees
Set the blade tilt (bevel) to 30 degrees.
Cut.
For the mating piece, reverse the blade miter and bevel, and cut with the material pointing from from the opposite side of the blade.
If the angle, or "spring" of the moulding is not 45 degrees ( 38 degree moulding is quite common, fro example), or: If the corner is not 90 degrees, then you will need a table to work with.

Would a queen bed skirt fit a full size mattress?
Short answer: No.
A U.S. full size mattress is 54 inches wide and 75 inches long.
A U.S. queen size mattress is 60 inches wide and 80 inches long.
There is a tiny possibility that a full fitted sheet that has extremely deep sides might have enough extra fabric to cover a queen, but it would not fit well, if at all, the corners would not match up at all, the points would be on the top edge of the mattress.
Can you stain a carpet another color?
You can have it dyed. However, if it is an older carpet or extremely worn in some spots, the carpet may not be receptive to being re-colored. Maybe try using varied sizes of throw rugs instead.
Why are there holes in ceiling tiles?
The more holes in the tile the better the acoustic properties of the tile.
If the tile has lots of holes it will absorb sound better and prevent reverberation within the room.
if the tile is smooth it will not absorb the sound and it will bounce back and cause an echo.

Check with your local building supply store before you begin to frame in your door, to verify the sizes that they have in stock.
>>> These are the actual "door slab" sizes. You're probably asking because you want to replace it. If you are, you need to measure the inside diameter of the jams where the door fits within - don't assume. Many doors of these sizes are up to a half inch smaller due to proprietary fitting (sealing and weatherstripping allowances / beveled jams and sills / even shifting or settling...). If you are replacing the whole door and jam - a 'pre-hung' (which I always recommend - especially on exterior doors) - you need to measure the rough opening of the studs behind the molding. Remove the interior trim and remove, or push in, any insulation. Take measurements in a few places (top bottom left right) and both diagonals, to check for square (every house can settle).
Good luck
