Home & Garden - 30 September 2006

I have taken off the shower head and cleaned it but that did not help. The pessure went away suddenly one day while i was in the shower and now I would say the pessure is 30-40% less than it once was. It is bothering me alot. Any ideas on the problem and how to fix it.

I am sure that I heard somewhere that if you have an elephant ornament you should face it a certain way. I think it was towards a door. Does anyone know this one please?

We are trying to make a silhouette projector. We have a tent in the yard and we want to make it seem as though there are people inside of it at night. Any suggestions? This is a halloween decoration...

I am stumped with what is a DO or DON'T when it comes to hanging picture frames on the walls in my home. Question part 1. I don't know if I should choose the color of the frame based on it enhancing the picture or should I choose a frame color based on how it will match the things in my rooms. For example I have light colored wood tables in my family room but the pictures I want to hang would look gorgeous in something dark like a cherrywood frame. Should I follow throughout with matching colors to the other wood furniture in the room or go with what makes the pictures pop? Part 2. When you come in my front door there is a long hallway in which I want to hang pictures all the way across. Do I match all the frames on the wall for one uniform look or can I use clusters of same color but broken up in to sections along the wall like with a few feet in-between? Same question for my staircase walls! I thank you in advance for you advice!! :)

I am finding mounds of poop (approx the volume of a Hershey's kiss) on my back slate stone walkway. It is happening at night on a 7 foot long stretch off my back deck stairs - it's a section between my house and a raised hot tub, so the area is sort of secluded. I can't find any web sites that identify poop. Someone told my it may be toads (they like dark, moist and damp). The poop only occurs along the 2 inches of moss I have planted between the rocks. The poop mounds are made up of tiny spheres of poop - all dark brown. I have set up video survellience, but the light keeps the perps away. Has anyone else had this problem?????? I can't "dry out" the area - there aren't any plants and I obviously can't move the tub or house.
Thank you

They are a wool mix of some kind - mostly wool with acrylic and other stuff, forgot to look at the label again for details (they're still in the shop!)

I have a rug imported from Iran. It is made of wool on a silk backing. My cat was sick on it and some of the color ran—vermilion into cream color. It is getting a bit dingy and I would like to get it cleaned. Is there any way to get the pinkinsh stain out of the cream part. It is a beautiful rug.

I am hoping that a ceiling fan with 4 60watt bulbs will be stronger light than one 300watt halogen light floor lamp facing the ceiling.

It's the screw which I need to remove in order to replace a washer in one of the faucet handles. The top is stripped so I can't can't get the dang thing off. Help. The drippy faucet is driving me crazy & costing me a fortune in H2O.
