Inch Wall
I need to somehow get an unbroken square inch piece of paint off my wall to take it in for a match. How??
How do I do this without breaking it?
I don't know of any way to take the paint off by itself. You will need to take a bit of wall with it. Not as bad as it sounds if you have drywall.
I would try for a bit smaller piece -- about 1" x 3/4". It doesn't sound like much difference, but it is much easier to patch up after your done. Call the store you are taking the sample to and make sure, but all of the machines I have seen can handle this without a problem.
Pick a spot in the room that is not real noticeable. A corner, near the floor is usually good. Stay about 8" away from the corner, 12" off the floor. Closer to the corner you will get into the compound used to finish the corner, which you don't want.
Clean the area well with mild soapy water and dry completely. The sample must be clean for a good match and you will not be able to clean the sample once it is removed.
Using a sharp utility knife, score the surface around the sample. You need to cut just through the paper, not into the core so much. Use the tip of the knife to slide under the edge of the sample and pull it up. It should come off without too much effort.
Use a bit of spackling compound to fill in the hole you created. You should do this as soon as you take the sample so it can have time to dry before you get back with your matched paint. It may take a couple of applications to get it level, sanding between and after. This is where the smaller sample size helps.

Many homeowners simply use their basement as a storage space to store their sparingly needed items such as extra chairs, old carpets, old books and records, old typewriters, toys and such miscellaneous things that do not warrant occupation of space in the formal upstairs rooms. That works fine since the liveable space in the home is more efficiently used. Additionally, it moves clutter away from normal everyday living into the basement area which is away from the sights of visitors and other social company. However, while neat organization and efficient occupation of the living quarters is well received by home owners everywhere, one might consider using the basement of the home for something beyond simply a storage space.
With the economy being in a downturn currently and as experts predict that the recovery may be delayed and the global recession may be a prolonged one, you might want to consider converting your basement into a workable office area and hopefully start working from home in a part time fashion to bring in additional income. Working from home is a viable option for many people and in fact many of the successful businesses of today have traced their humble beginnings to the family basement. Once you have come up with an idea that is workable and has potential for a good side income, you might want to simply convert the basement space into a workable office area from where you could conduct your business. That is a cheaper alternative to acquiring or leasing office space in a commercial office building.
Prior to embarking on a project to convert your home basement into an office area, you might want to consider a few things up front. While most start ups may have humble beginnings with only one person working, you might want to plan so that two or three more people can work effectively. That requires some thought put into how the desks and other office equipment will be placed and located. To start off, clean out all of the clutter that exists currently in your basement and you might even want to put them away at a storage facility. Then install carpets for the floor and cover up the duct work with good quality drop ceilings with installed fluorescent lighting. Good lighting is essential for proper conducting of business and fluorescent lighting offers the best lighting conditions for office type spaces. The basement walls could be well decorated with some good quality paneling.
Next comes installation of some office cubicles. Office cubicles offer the design advantage of providing some sort of privacy between the different people working in the office space. Even if it is just yourself, your spouse and your grown children working from the basement, installing some cubicle partitions will provide a business like environment which is especially important when working from home. A wide variety of cheap office cubicle choices exist. Some of them come in pre-designed with electrical outlets, data ports and cubicle side wall mounted shelving for storage of books, documentation, file folders and such. Thus by converting the basement of your home into a workable office space, you might be able to generate some income without having to lease external office space.
