    Removing rusted nail and screws?

    Is there a drill bit that drills around them, like an apple corer? Grabbing the nails is impossible, they crumble. This is in a basement with damp walls and they wick moisture. I have to remove them before tanking.

    Replace Floor Joists

    We have a living room that is 13'8"x9'9" with floor joists that attach to the neighbouring house, so that when the neighbours children are jumping around we can feel the vibration in our living room. Is it possible to remove and replace the joists so that they run the opposite way and if so how much is this likely to cost approximately? Thanks
