Can anyone suggest where I could find someone who paints murals on interior walls?

Q. I've just moved house and I'm looking for someone who could paint some sportspeople (cricketers, rugby players etc) around the interior walls of my 8 year old son's room. Even a graffiti style would be fine.
I'm in Sydney.

Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Thanks Chuck: unfortunately, the only ones I could find are soccer, skateboarding, basketball and grid iron. He's absolutely obsessed with rugby union/league and cricket. I'll keep looking though and thanks again.

A. May I suggest you visit your local Art College. I am sure there are a few top class would be artists who would be keen to do the work for you free as long as you let the person(s) take some pics of his/her masterpiece.

How and where should I install a CB radio in the car without damaging the interior?
Q. We have a 2003 Nissan Pathfinder and want to install a CB radio with the big antenna. Where would be the best place to install it without compromising too much space??
Oh, and what are the good brands to use? Uniden?? Thanks.

A. Cobra would be the best. Unless you pay a little more for a Uniden. The less expensive ones will not impress you too much.

All come with an under the dash mount. Does little damage to the dash and what it does is done to the underside where it it less noticeable.

A good antenna? Wlison - Lil Will or the 1000 if you want performance is by far the best. It is a magnet mount for on the rooftop. A little sheet of saran wrap under the magnet will help prevent scratches.

The combination of the two will give years of performance.

How do I remove an interior door knob that has no screws?
Q. I want to change the knobs on my bedroom door, but I can't get the old knob off. There are no screws on either side that I can unscrew. The only thing I managed to unscrew and remove is the latch on the side (where the protruding thing that locks into the doorframe is), but that hasn't helped at all. How can I get this doorknob off?
Ok, I pushed the tab with a flat screwdriver and pulled it and it came off. So the grasping part of the knob is off, but the part that is right against the door is still stuck fast. Btw, I can't use a hammer or do anything that would damage the door because I don't want to potentially lose my security deposit. Thanks for all the helpful answers so far.
I have added a picture of my (possibly broken) doorknob in its current state. [http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b281/teresis_pieces/doorknob.jpg] As you can see, still no visible screws, and I have damaged the wood on my door by attemting to pry the knob off. Any further help greatly appreciated.

A. On what would be considered the inside of the door there should either be a tab about 1/4" long on the side of the shaft , a small hole just larger than paper clip diameter on the shaft or a little metal clip on the plate that rests against the door. Any one of these hides the key to getting the knob off. Depress which ever one you have and the knob or plate should pull off revealing the screws that hold the lockset to the door. If the handle is what comes off, you may need to unscrew the plate against the door to reveal the screws. From there it is unmistakable how it comes apart. Remove the screws and everything falls apart.

Good Luck!
