My beloved has completely destroyed the surface of the porcelain in the U-bend of one of our toilets. He used one of those 'windy, windy' things to unblock the pipe and threw a bit of a strop when it didn't work first time! Where he pressed down on the U-bend, there are a mass of nasty black scratches which look absolutely dreadful. The fact that it's the guest bathroom makes it worse as it looks as though I haven't cleaned it in months. Is there anything I can do (I'm not letting him near it!) to fix it?

I realise that dishwashers are inevitably bad for the environment, but which brand/model is the least bad?

I tie it in knots when it's drying but the creases drop out very quickly as the silk has become very soft. Is there some thing I could spray on to make the fabric stiffer and the creases hold? Would starch spray work?

I have seen this pillow my daughters friend has and it's made from her left over t shirts from clubs and high school teams, it is made like a quilt, then it is sewn to a blanket which fits in the pocket of the pillow, real cute. I have no quilting expericnce but I can cut shirts and can use the sewing machine if I have to, I have been saving my daughters shirts sense she's been doing sports from the age of 10, now she's in college, and I thought that would be a nice gift to give her for x-mas, so if anyone know's give me a haller, Thank you.

I do some of both. The "pretty" candles in shapes of fruit or something I just keep. I think they are too pretty to burn so I like to burn the other ones. I forget what they are called. The ones that are straight like a stick.

I just bought a 1925 colonial. The house is in beautiful condition. The walls are original plaster and look perfect. It has original wood windows with new storms. I really excited. I have only one problem...The carpet is blue. It's in great shape and I dont want to rip it out. I have a severe dis like for the color as far as interior design goes. I was thinking about using browns to tone it down. Does anyone have any ideas as to what kind of palatte I can use? The carpet is everywhere exspect the kitchen. I lean more toward rustic design, very earthy tones. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

I want to put in new borders and possibly crown moulding in my 2000 sq. ft. house. I have already tried t putting in borders in my master bedroom using a miter box and hand saw but the cuts for the most part were very uneven even with the best of care. The nailing was also a pain. I'm now considering purchasing a cheap compound miter saw (see Harbor Freight Tools - they have a cheap one for $40) and possibly some kind of electric or air hammer.

1. Is the miter saw worth it, or should I get a table saw which may have more long-term uses?
2. What's a good option for some kind of electric hammer? I prefer not to get into buying an air compressor, mostly due to the lack of storage space, so what options exist?

Please let me know of any specific products post links to web sites where I can get these at a low price.

Thanks a ton!
