Home & Garden - 14 September 2006

Recently moved in to a newly built home in a rural area, right next to a busy road.

Recently I've noticed weirdos stopping in front of my home and taking photographs of my property. When I go outside to let them know I can see them, they take off.

At nights, there are strange cars parked on the road with their headlights on near my home.

I have expensive new cars parked on my property so I am thinking they are planning to carjack them or rob my home.

So far I've:

Installed a fence around the property.
Got a large dog that bark at strangers and will bite if they happen to jump the fence

Which is the best wireless security camera that works in the total darkness (there are no street lights here) and that can be broadcast on the Internet?

I have a chain linked fence only, so what can I do so they can't see throught it?

Any other ideas?

Ok, so heres the info, I bought a house, the gas furnace is vented through a large lined chimney along with a wood burner. The chimney has 3 thimbles, the previous owner said it used to have a gas furnace water heater and a wood stove, I haven't used the stove yet and have switched the water heater over to electric when it failed and closed off the thimble for this, my question is can I use the stove? If not what can I do to use the stove? I looked into getting a sep chimney for the stove and its rather pricey. Could I vent the furnace out the side of the house? do I need to get a stack for the Furnace? Any ideas?

I bought a sun rubber doll at an antique store last week and wonder about the age. It's in excellent condition aside from the sqeaker no longer working. It's a black doll and it looks like model # 53A. It's wearing red overalls. Made by TOD-L-TOT, the sun rubber company in Barberton. I know it was probably made in the 50's. Were many black dolls made? I've only seen white ones.

Why would a river birch tree lose part of its leaves mid summer and then have them come out new again?

This is the second dryer to do this. We have been hanging clothes on the shower rod for 2 years, which is getting old.

We are remodeling our bathroom and while we were tearing out the cupboards we found that there are three layers of linoleum, the bottom layer of which is asbestos. We can't afford to have a professional come out and do it. Is there any way that we can remove the tile ourselves? We don't want to encapsulate the floor either, we just want to get the asbestos out of there. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Just wondering if my washer is about to go out or if I need to use a different detergent. I use Arm&Hammer and have used it before, but maybe the product has changed recently? I know the dryer will filter out some of the hair and lint, but I hang dry my darks and delicates. Last time I washed a load of darks, they were almost gray from all the lint! And I want my clothes to be clean coming out of the wash!
