Home & Garden - 10 September 2006

Okay, so my cat (who has never done this before) has started marking territory, or at the very least pi$$ing all over my stuff. For starters he peed on some clothes I had sitting in a box in my bedroom closet. Then this morning I start to smell this horrid cat urind stench (and this cat has the worst I have ever smelled) in my apartment, come to find out there is a big pile of cat urine on MY BED! First of all, I don't know what to do to rid my cat of this nasty habit, and second of all, I don't know what to do to get the smell and stain our of my BRAND NEW BED. I promptly made the cat and outdoor area on the patio, complete with food, water, and a house fashioned out of an old rubbermaid container with a whole cut into the side of it. Now what do I do about the stain in my matress? I have used this stuff called 'Complete' Pet Stain and Odor Remover, but as soon as it dried, the smell is still there. Will steam cleaning help? Anyone else have any ideas?

Help, my neighbor is hammering nails, hanging heavy items and plants, and shoving heaving barrels and boxes against my wood fence. The fence is starting to split in some sections. I have asked him to stop, and he ignores me. The fence is 100% mine, but the one side faces him, but it is still within my property line. HELP!

I have an electric, battery rechargeable lawn mower that won't take a charge anymore. I checked with my local service store but it's more expensive to fix it than to just buy a new mower so I've decided to go with the new mower. Now I don't know what to do with this old one, specially given it's electric and you shouldn't throw away batteries... what to do?

I am laying a new tile floor over plywood subfloor. I have Durock cement backerboard. The area I'm covering is only 4'3" x 6'8". I don't really want to put the money out for power saws ($60+) so I am planning to use a hand saw. What kind is most appropriate? Can I use a small utility knife for the smaller details?

I have a pretty old coin that from my understanding is pretty rare, but it looks like it is just very dirty. I need something like jewlery cleaner or something to brighten it up. Any advice on what I can use without damaging the coin?

I am building a deck outside my living room am\nd the dimensions are 8' wide by 24' long.It is 14' up at the highest point as I am on a hill. I'm using 2 by 6 joists with 2 by 12 headers. Here is what I want to do: someone told me to use a 1/4 in slope over 8 ft. for water run off. I want to tile the deck. Iwant to know what size plywood I should use and if there is some kind of waterproof fibreboard I can use as a base for the tile in lieu of laying down rubber for the base. I dont want sand or pitch due to the weight factor. Is there something fairly lightweight and waterproof suitable for a base for the tile? If so what is it called? and where can i get it? Thanks.

We have had a Rainbow Playsystem (www.rainbowplay.com) for about 3 years now and the wood is very faded. We are thinking about staining it, but can't find information about what to use (or whether we are even supposed to stain it.) Anyone know what I should do?
