I want them in my yard, not in my house. 1 or 2 bats at a time get in the house, I have to find where they are and get them out.

I got coffee on a white shirt and it stained it pretty bad. I have already washed it a few times without success. I would bleach it but there is a little bit of blue fabric on the shirt as well and I don't want to ruin that.

I'm wondering where the best place to purchase hardwood flooring is. I would like to buy it someplace that also will do the installation as well as take up my old carpet. Do I trust someone like Lowe's or Home Depot? A furniture store that carries hardwood? I want a good price, but I also want a product that will last and someone putting it in who knows what they are doing. Also, my home is an older home and I have decorated it with a lot of antiques. I want a rustic looking hardwood...nothing real high gloss. Any good websites where I can view different kinds of hardwood? Thanks....=)

I'm pretty good about turning off the lights, but I keep my laptop on and my air conditioner set to 68 degrees 24/7. I live in a spacious one bedroom apartment. I know the air conditioning is my biggest weakness but if I turn it up any more I get really uncomfortable. What should I expect my electric bill to be?

i need to varnish a bare wood, i sand it well without any dirth or particles or oils on it, but is stain kind of oil?? if yes why should apply it to wood befor varnishing while wood should be pretty clear?
in another project i applied food oil instead of stain to the wood (because here no paint shop sellers know what is wood stain; they tell only apply varnish on sanded wood) to shine the grains and then applied the varnish but after two weaks the surface is steal sticky.
I want to end up with a hard (simillar to glass) and shiny surface on wood with grains impresseions.

They both appear happy with much new growth, on our sheltered, but sunny south/east facing balcony, and are well watered - Can anyone shed any light on waht is happening, would pruning off the bad leaves help?

I have had it ever since I was 10 and it's been sitting in my Dad's storage for about a year and a half so it needs refinished. So now that I have my own house now I need some ideas on what I can do with it to make beautiful but the bad thing is I still have no room in my house for it and no one wants to buy it. I hate to throw it out but I don't know what I could do with it. PLEASE HELP! :)

the faucet outsie is connected with a 1/2" pipe, and the GPM is only around 5-6 GPM. That is what I put the pressure guage on and I know it is restricted due to the small pipe. If I tap into the 3/4" main line to run a sprinkler system what should the GPM be? my guess is that it will be around 8-10GPM. Does anyone know how much the smaller pipe reduces the GPM?

Give you idea lol. I like to eat wild food. One is called Poke Salad.
1. Pick and clean the greens
2. Pick the leaves off greens and cut up to fine consistancy
3. Boil the leaves about hour then drain well and rense.
4. Boil them again and prepare for table with either onions, pepper, salt ect.
If you like Spinach you will love this lol.

Now for the stalks do not through away.
1. peel the stalks, this means strip the thin red skin off of them. You will have a greenish clear looking stalk lol.
2. cut stalks in inch long pieces, Batter like you would with Okra or other deep fried things.
3. Fry in deep frier till they are brown on all sides.
4. take off stove salt and pepper to taste and server.
They taste just like fryed okra.
True the leaves have a poision in them this is why you boil them twice, can boil them again if you want but not nessessary. The stalk only part that is bad is the thin red skin that you peal off them. Rest is good to go.
Now anyone else got any.
