Home & Garden - 26 June 2006

There will be three bedrooms, but one of the bedroom will not be renovated (for future use). One of the bedroom will be converted to a study room that is linked to the living room area. I am looking for simple yet classy design.

I bought a pack of Tapcon screws that came with a Masonry drill bit so i could use to drill holes in the side of my brick house. The problem is i noticed that on the first drill hole it soon melted the tip and ultimately made a very large unexpected hole opening mess. What happened? Was i suppose to be drenchiung the hole (and the drill bit) with water as i was drilling? Should i have gotten a masonry bit that was coated in titanium or something? I just cant drill holes in my brick.

I don't have grass planted in my new backyard yet and I found a copper head right at my back door today. How do I prevent snakes from entering my yard? I live near a Lake and active train tracks, which probably has a lot to do with the snakes...

do you put hardwood under appliances? What do you do to keep the range from being higher than cabinets in an existing cabinet situation?

I already finished a piece of furniture with a gold base coat of spray paint and a top crackling coat in green. It looks great in some areas and there is no crackle in others. Is there some way I can make those areas crackle up?? I tried wiping the areas really hard with a cloth and taking a blow dryer to them...Help!

I am renovating my shower. I have taken the existing shower walls and floor out and am down to the studs. I am close to putting up the cement board in preparation for tile. I don't know if I need to install a vapor barrier before the cement board.

I ordered a rose plant from autumn ridge nursery over a month ago, I recieved the "lifeless" looking thing a week later, put it into the ground and not a thing has happened, I have used miracle grow and watered it and tried to take very good care of it but with no sucess. I have no leaves on it and certainly NO roses, wondering if anyone out there knows about growing roses and can tell me if there is any hope in it or if I should just give up,
thanks

I live on the top floor of my quad-plex building. The morning sun comes in through my bedroom, crosses over the roof about midday, hits the front of the building around 2-ish and pretty much stays there until it sets at night (which ends up being about 8-ish). On top of that, our summers get to be around 90+ degrees. The main area in my apartment gets like 70% of the days sun and as such makes my apartment almost unbearable. Once the sun is on half of the deck, we close the drapes and keep them closed. We keep a fan in our bedroom and two in the main room, along with a swamp cooler fan, but it still stays so hot! I have a feeling my animals are getting miserable with the heat (except for my tropical bird), as I am too! Our deck has no sort of shading whatsoever from the building (the eaves on extend about 4"), so I have been thinking about investing in an umbrella or making an awning-type system to make more shade in hopes that would help.
Anyone have any suggestions?
