I have a pillow that's filled with polyfiber with a cotton casing.

There's no instructions on the tag about how to clean it.

Can I just wash it in the washing machine?

I have 20 acres of land behind my house I can use for gardening and small livestock, such as chickens and rabbits. I am a welder by trade and I want to build a 3 point hitch for a 12 HP lawn mower to plow a large garden. I can do the fabracation but I would like to buy the plows and the disc and build the racks for them.
Does any one know where I could buy them and what size I should get?
The mower has 18" x 9.5" on 8" rims. I have enough room to put tires on it up to 24" X whatever, and I can cut the hub off the ones I have now and fab up hubs to fit the axles. Any ideas on where to get the tractor lugged type tires at a good price.
I am disabled and the check is very big so I need the cheapest things I can find that will work.
Hope some one out there can lead me in the rigth direction.
Thanks for the help.

well, sum1 was driving drunk on my block just now...and hit a and broke a hydrant, which lead to the opening of the main supply line to burst open, causeing 10 feet of water in the air and completly flooding my basement with 3 feet of water. This has obviously damaged my house(roten foundation, floor) and personall belongings(books, jewlery) and we're left with no water hot or cold and no bathrooms to use. What should i do in this case in order for my insurance to recompisate my losses? and what do i tell them to cover me for? can i say that it messed up my plumbing system by puutting sand in my pipes(which it did)?

We are looking to purchase one of those old-fashioned interior doors where the top half of the door can be opened, leaving the bottom half of the door closed. WHAT are they called? (And can anyone suggest where to purchase one?) (We will be using it to keep dogs out of one room, but still giving the kitty cats access ... they can jump up to the half-door sill!)

Thanks very much ... it is hard to google something when you don't know what it is called!!!

I have a 1/2" hammer drill and I need to install shelving that requires a 3/16" drill bit (according to the instructions). Do I need to buy a new drill or do I just buy the bit and attach it somehow?

I keep my cat's litter pan on vinyl tile floor. He tracks some of it around the pan. Can I just use my normal vacuum to pick it up or will it clog it?

I got a florecent light like the kind in the ceiling at stores the 36" long bulbs. Well one burned out so of course the other didn't work fully. I got a new one ( same part number and size) and they both work but only slightly. It's like they won't turn on all the way they stay dim. It's not cold so that wouldn't affect the gas in the bulbs and I also cleaned the connections with rubbing alcohol. Anyone know what could be wrong?

I am looking to do some small DIY home projects but just can't seem to find a place to buy lumber other than the odd DIY store but sizes are limited and expensive. Are there lumberyards in Singapore?

I've read that to avoid shoulder bumps, I should use wooden or padded hangers. My question is, if I leave my clothes on these for a long period of time, will it still get shoulder bumps??

There is some creme-white combination in the kitchen as well. We have white roll up blinds on the side windows, olive green wall color and creme sofas. Will white blinds look too strange or add too much contrast or will that contrast look good? The bottom of our wall also has a white (rim?) to it.
