Since we pay out in Kilowatts, wouldn't 480VAC reduce my bill by half the cost versus 208VAC 3phase. I'm looking long term here. I just built me a monster garage, now I need to get power from the street. I had talked to a Electrican, but he keeps feeding me hogwash!

I pour my own stepping stones and lately I am having trouble with air bubbles, I have tried shaking the mold, taping the table the mold is on, nothing seems to help. I recently tried to use Vasline to help the stones from sticking to the mold, that works great but that is also when my air bubble problem started, is there anyone who can help give suggestions on how to fix the air bubble problem, or suggest other products to try as a relase agent for the molds?

I know of waterslide decal paper but wish to avoid the hassle -and the likelihood of dirt and dust marring the surface - when I varnish over the decal to protect it. I have read about kiln-firing special ceramic decals onto pottery, and am wondering if a similar technique could be used on slate. The slate rectangles I am using will, however, be up to 24" x 18". Can the recommended temperature of 1450 F be achieved in a conventional domestic oven?

The 15x6 is metal. I was unable to find any sort of filter at the store that would fit into it. Is this an intake or is it for heating?

I have a seperate large opening where a large filter fits....

Anyone done this? I have vinyl (I think) tiles that have been there for probably 15 years. These things are high quality and are adhered super well to concrete. It would be a nighmare trying to remove these. Can I scuff these up somehow and just lay ceramic tile over them? IF so, what should I use to sand them?

I got one at John Lewis years ago, but they don’t seem to do them these days.

How long before I can ignore it and have my auto sprinkler system take care of it.

When I water sod everyday, is it necessary to lift it up and water the ground below it? Suppose I am watering 10 sq feet with a hose, how long should I water the area?

Can I use Scotts starter for the soil below as fertilizer and Scotts Enriched lawn soil as the soil below? Any experience with these products? They work? Any substitutes?

Any tips when I go to buy sod? Does Home Depot sell it anymore?

I'm interested in finding a detailed resource with pictures of flowers - names and pictures- like "Fire and Ice Rose" rather than red and white rose. I'm putting together wedding flowers.

come out of the dryer they end up with lintballs on them. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing that's making it come out like that? It's not the softner I'm using or anything like that.

The tiles are old, so the dirt is really ground in and therefore simple mopping doesn't work. Are there any cleaning agents that you would recommend in addition to sheer scrubbing that could clean these up? Thank you!

I have had it one week and it's driving me mad. I cant just wipe it over with antibacterial spray or a soapy cloth, it's looks smeared like a mirror would. Has anybody found something that works apart from cleaning it and having to polish it.

1) where do I cut on the plant - do I cut multiple places
2) I think I put them in some water to get their roots started -- right? for how long?
3) do I then just put the cuttings (with their new roots) into another planter with soil/fertilizer/water?
THANK you!
