Home & Garden - 19 January 2007

I had an unfinished bookcase/cabinet that I originally painted white with an oil-based paint (no primer) about ten years ago. It has never looked that good and I would like to paint it a dark brown or even black. Do I have to use oil-based again- it's a pain to work with, or can I use a latex based primer and paint? I would like to get a more professional appearence this time. Any other tips while I'm at it? Thanks!

My garage has an old and draughty up and over door and during the recent storms has let in rain and loads of trash. What would be a good replacement, are roller doors draught proof and secure? There are lots of websites that will sell you stuff but very little unbiased info.

...without altering the colour of the paint and leaving a mark, I have tried just water but seems to make more of a mess.

I can't get a good picture to show, but I'll describe it.
The plant itself looks like a weed that you'd pull up, and grows on multiple stalks from the base root. The stalks will get to be about 3 feet high before it starts showing buds. The blooms themselves are star shaped and a pale yellow. They will only open after full dark, and close before sun-up. They will bloom until about late August, then will dry up.

As I have been told, my friend's father brought one from "home" (Eastern Kentucky) as a transplant. They multiply, but it's obvious that it's not by root, and must be by seed, although seeds are not visible on the plant. One planted the first year will yield about 4-5 the next year. They are easily transplanted in the spring.
They don't have any scent, to speak of.
Thanks for any info.
