Home & Garden - 9 July 2006

In very old house, my son disconnected old toilet, hoping to replace it. The opening of the lead pipe it had been connected to is very misshapen and is about 2 inches above the floor. Doesn't it have to be level with the floor to install the closet flange? If so, what kind of tool do we use to cut the pipe?

These stars have been painted different colors on different homes. They are five pointed stars and I only see one on a home's exterior. My mother thinks that it means "Order of the Eastern Star." Is this true?

Is there much difference? Which is better? Are they equally safe? Is it just personal preference? Can you reccomend a good comfortable steel composite toe boot?

I have a small backyard. Half of it is taken up by my kitchen garden (a rectangle plot) and with a cider block walkway dividing it from a rightangle triangle plot of weedy grass. I want to rip out the grass, widen and make more interesting the pathway. Would like to have a rock patio area. Basically need some good suggestions of how to mix the use of my garden, yet also provide an area that I could enjoy and relax in. Replanting grass is an option, but would like to know some ideas of an urban mixed use backyard. I'm a newbie, but willing to try within a limited budget. Photos and directions would be great. Live in Lower mainland of British Columbia, Canada. Thanks.

I've tried several different types of tape, but the paint always seeps under the tape even if I make sure the tape is down tight.
