Home & Garden - 15 July 2006

We are looking to remodel an existing building into a retail area. The building was already a retail place, but we are going to turn a back room into part of the store. I need ideas on shelving and how to utilize a small space. We also have a small budget.

If it is a large wall is it ok to match pieces together? In a bathroom what should I use?

I recently moved into a new place, and the locks on the patio door and windows don't work. However, there are steel bars provided for all, that I can put between the window and frame of the wall to stop someone from sliding them open from the outside.

The owner, says since the condo is on the third floor of a 3 flat building, and the area is very quiet and residentail, that is sufficient. He also said, the steel bar is more secure than a lock on the window or door.

Would it be too petty for me to request the locks be fixed on all the above? Or what can I buy to lock the sliding windows and patio doors from the inside without the Landlord's assistance?

I suspect the owner would have to replace the windows ect to fix the locks. I'm not sure. Thanks

I love to collect plants and I’m always looking for more to add to my collection. If you have any plants that are dieing I will also take them too! My wife and I have saved almost 30 plants from dieing in the last 2 years now. We will take in almost any plants and make sure they are healthy and happy. If we don't have room for them we make sure they find a new home where they will be taken care of. Share your stories and a small part of a plants history.

If you have any questions I would be more than happy to hear from you.

My mom's boyfriend also gave me this really large fan, he said was an original from china, which I do sense it's authenticity, but I have no idea as to where I can place it.

I've been thinking of placing it on the wall atop my headboard but my room is more modern style, well with a few oriental stuff in it but the fan is a large accent.

But since the wood doesn't really match, it's like cherry? brown and my bedframe is that rich dark reddish brown color....so im' thinking of staining the wood on the fan to match the color, what do you think?

I have a maytag washer that just stopped. I started it up and it filled with water........then stopped. I emptied the darn thing out and played around with it but nothing. I've checked the fuse boxes 2x now. It's a built in and don't know how to check if the plug fell out or not. I have no noise or lights working at all. Any ideas?

I am using a Franklin submersible pump that asks for 40# on and 60# off pressure. My well is approx. 100' from the pressure tank. I have all of the check valves ball valves and such.
the pressure will range from 60# to 0# and the pump seems to be turning on whenever it likes

Here are the 4 main household chores we all probably do (even if it's not regularly)....

- dusting
- vacuuming
- cleaning the bathrooms
- doing laundry

Of these, which do you dislike the most, and what is it that makes you feel that way?

I know which I'd pick, and why, but I don't want to influence anyone's answers. ;) I'll post mine later.

I have actually painted my kitchen floor and polyed over it, but was checking out a decorating site that talked about "brown bag" technique. It seemed similar to what I wanted to do. I cannot afford wood flooring right now, and wondered why I couldn't use wood looking wallpaper and stick it to my floor and polyurethane over it. Anybody done it-think it will work? Let me know.
