Home & Garden - 19 December 2006

The porch was poured the same time as the interior concrete two years ago and has no cracks but does not have a vapor barrier as the inside does. The porch has the same footing as the rest of the house. I was going to use concrete adhesive between the old and new concrete but if I have to add a visqueen barrier, it seems like the adhesive won't do anything.

I've noticed that crumbs from my daily chocolate brownie have been falling on my office chair, and even though I brush them off they have built up a bit of a noticible stain.
Although I could ask our company facilities team to clean it there must be a cheaper way to do this myself?

Thanks

Can someone tell me where in (East) Singapore I can buy a real live Xmas tree which actually looks like an Xmas tree, not sort of square and layered, which is all I've so far managed to find.

i live in an apartment.. it has very few electrical outlets and zero lights in the bedroom.. so i make do with lamps.
but since i need to do my makeup neatly with lots of bright light.. i got a full length mirror and thought of adding old fashioned vanity lights on 3 sides of the mirror.( about 18 bulbs in all)
now, the problem is apartments have a strict rule about not damaging any walls etc and no paint stratches or driving nails into the walls.
the old fashioned classic vanity lights comes in bars of 6 sockets each, and you place a regular bulb in them
so now how do i install my vanity lights around my mirror? do i risk putting nails in the wall around the mirror?and how do i install the hardware and wires for the vanity light bars?( does anyone know how the vanity lights wires are installed? can i use a multiplug etc to just plug the whole thing into a main outlet?
WHAT ABOUT THE BATTERY OPERATED STICKUP BULBS ADVERTISED ON TV?
