Post: RE: Icemaker Install
Is there a reason why you have to drill though the middle of a tile?  It would be much easier to drill through a grout joint.

Post: RE: Military move damage... dining table
You could get an estimate from a professional to repair it.  If the mover or insurer pays full replacement value, they will own the damaged piece.  They may or may not bother to take it.

How about drilling #1&2 all the way through to the inside of the wall in the closet, and then use 6" bolts fastened on the back side with nuts and fender washers.

Did you try squirting a couple of drops of oil into it?  Could be the seals just dried up after non-use for a few years.
