How long can they live still being in the pots? I water them daily and they get more the enough sun.

Yes, I'm chicken ~ afraid that I could mess up my beautiful old doors. I'm afraid of taking the drastic step of drilling the 2 1/8" hole [for starters]! I've got 3 doors that need locks; they're all beautifully refinished, heartpine [house is 100yrs old]. [& I hate the idea of messing them up anyway with a newly purchased lock, but the skelton key isn't quite adequate.] These doors already have the original cut-out in the edge of the door for the skeleton key mechanism insert which holds the knob. Of course, the new Dead Bolt would be put above this.

It's curious that I'm chicken to do this, because I have done eVeRy manner of house renovation task ~ from wiring and plumbing, to roof work and carpentry!

Maybe I should hold out and hope to find an old mechanism that will fit into the existing door edge cut-out, that has a keyed [not skeleton] element.

Please, tell me I don't need to be afraid to forge forward w/dead bolt installation; and what to be careful about.

The conservatory floor is made of hardwood tiles, laid professionally and edged by cork (which was supposed to absorb the swelling / decreasing size) but has swollen so much that areas of the floor are popping upwards like hills. Is this due to humidity? Would a demhumidifier solve this problem? Thank you.

I've just discovered that one of the walls of my bedroom is almost completely covered in mould!
I would like to get rid of it, but how?The mould is growing on the walls and it has started to come through the wallpaper now. The problem is that I rent the place,so I have to make sure I am very carefull and do not cause any damage to the property.
So what would be the safest way to kill the spores?

I'm looking for a Christmas present for my dad, I want to get him a gift certificate, in order for him to buy the tools he needs for his woodworking shop. He is extremely gifted at making anything out of wood and usually will only buy the best. I have no idea which brandname is the best or which store or catalog would be the best. Please help if you can. Christmas is coming very soon.

My wardrobe door received a "knock" and the door and hinges came off pulling the screws out. Is there anything I can use to fill up the enlarged holes that can be screwed through again?
