No idea how to fix, my coffee table has similar markings though. May I suggest a kong chew toy or perhaps a interactive treat ball?
My dog loves this one from Amazon: Our Pets IQ Treat Ball Interactive Food Dispensing Dog Toy (ASSORTED COLOR) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003ARUKTG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_S046CbV67QKTE
Get yourself something like the strap linked below. Screw into rafter, then lag bolt into ridge board. If the lag bolt pulls out you could hole through the ridge board and do a bolt and washer through the strap and ridge board. GOOD LUCK man, thats a doozy.

I'm in the process of setting up my garage and was wondering if I should get a sawhorse or would I just be better off getting something like the following.

Or even building a basic workbench myself.
Pumice stone. It's the only thing that will actually work. No chemical will take off the stains from porcelain. BATTLEHYMN Toilet Bowl Pumice Cleaning Stone with Handle - Fine Grit,Sturdy, High Density, 2 Piece https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N08Q7NC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_HmklDb1AHSP6K
Chemicals like clr will help to loosen the buildup. But nothing compares to a pumice stone. Don't use pumice with chemical btw. Just water.
Top seller on Amazon has really bad reviews. Magic brand peel and stick also has 1 star reviews.
The major issues are the gap between the two and also the curvature of the tub base. Whatever goes between will need to be highly flexible and also fill the gap. I'd really appreciate any thoughts here! Thank you!
I would start by picking up one of these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AKX8L0M/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_WN93DbKD4XSXV
And possibly a socket to Edison adapter and a ground lift and make sure hot neutral aren't reversed.
I would start there. I know as a kid playing with solder in LEDs you had to make sure positive and negative were aligned correctly or it would illuminate. But that was in DC, and your house is AC... So I don't know if reversed hot/nuteral would matter, but that is where I would start.
Also, are they dimmer switches and are the bulbs dimmable?
Edit: if you're going to do DIY electrical work, be careful. It's pretty simple, but has the potential to really hurt you. Pick up a non contact voltage tester. Turn off circuits at the service panel. Watch some You Tube videos on how to splice, if you're really high speed read some of the electrical code... And if you feel out of your depth, hiring a pro. Changing outlets, plugs sockets, switches and fixtures is fairly simple and just matching colors. Messing with three way and four way switches gets a bit more complex
Just replace it with a non-overflow drain like this https://www.amazon.com/Stopper-Without-Overflow-Bathroom-Lavatory/dp/B07S5Y3HN9
See if you can get a hold of a nut splitter/breaker/cracker like this:

I agree with /u/racertj5. But also you should consider one of these power alarms
Remove loose paper with a taping knife and then use a shellac-based primer. At least that’s what worked for me.

Is this it? Do I need a caulking gun?
This is a bit of a longshot... If its the water pipes behind the furnace, you may be dealing with water hammering. I had something similar with my sprinkler system and it would vibrate (Though much much slower than yours). Water Hammering in short is caused by high water pressure in the pipes. Essentially the water gains momentum as it flows through and when it hits a right angle in the pipes the sudden change in momentum gets passed onto the pipe itself (Because the water won't compress to absorb the shock). Air in the pipes can also make this worse as air is compressible, but the water is not. Lastly, you see water hammering more in modern devices that shut off water quickly to conserve water. The sudden shut-off causes a shock to the flow of water (I had this problem with my washing machine).
