Home & Garden - 2 November 2006

every morning I am getting excessive condensation on the inside of double-glazed windows and on one particular 1st floor bedroom inside wall corner.
The house is mainly of stone construction and I am concerned this could be damp in the atmosphere that is causing the condensation.

I was given a silver certificate from 1928. It lwas handed to me in a plastic protective cover sleeve, but the bill itself is a little (just a little) worn/wrinkled. Is there anyway to clean these bills to look new and crisp once again? I know it wont be possible to get it looking like a brand new bill, but maybe something close to it?

My surname is Wells so may want to use that in it. I want a name that will be remembered yet won't sound corny or naff in a few years time. The London Gardener, Capital Gardens, Garden Doctor are along the lines I want but are already used so must be original! Thanks for your help! As well as generalised maintenance will be doing more specific jobs and getting more into garden design in a few years so don't want to limit myself.

Living in Texas, we had the A/C on last week and we need the heater on this week. It was blowing cool last week in the A/C position, but now it won't blow heat and it's freakin cold in the house. The pilot light is lit and I even turned the heat up to see if it would come on. No luck. Any ideas? Thanks

I have a Worcester (BOSCH) Combi boiler and when I top up the system pressure using fill valve the gauge doesn't move straight away but will have gone up to 2bar about 4 hrs later. Shouldn't this be instant ? What could be wrong ? The gauge reads 0 after about 4 weeks and I have to refill again.

Whats the best way to remove a stuck on label, (which has been stuck solidly on for a matter of years) from a box with a glossy paper covering, without ripping the box and without leaving glue or parts of the label behind?

I installed small mosaic shower tiles floor to ceiling, grouted with stone tile grout and coated with 3 coats of sealer. After a while the grout appears to go an orange colour and signs of mildew appear in different lower tile places. I have cleaned it off and re sealed but it keeps coming back. Any suggestions

I am buying this sofa http://www.mujionline.co.uk/catalogue/catalogue.asp?Sec=2&Sub=8&PID=124 and although its super comfortable, you can't really lie on it diagonally/sideways because it doesn't have armrests. And when you watch a movie you just don't always want to sit upstraight (or lie flat). Was thinking of getting those triangular pillows but they may fall off. Anyone else has creative ideas?

I have been looking to buy a Milky Way Kousa Dogwood tree. I can't find this at a local nursery and would like to order them from somewhere that delivers to anywhere. I have found them as small as 6 inches, which is too small, and as much as $1800 each. That's insane! 2-3 feet tall would be OK to order and less than $50 per tree is a fair price since this is a small seedling. Thank's so much for the help!

I am building a 3 foot wide wrought iron garden gate. I would like to bend some 1" 16 gauge tubing to go over the top of the gate. Any ideas how to do this at home without distorting the tubing or kinking it? I see gates all the time like this but unsure how they bend the tubing.
