Home & Garden - 19 January 2007

Happy Friday everyone!! I'm looking for a loft bed for my son. I know that they make them for smaller kids. I don't want one of the ones that they have in college dorm rooms, those are just too high off the ground. The only kid sized ones I can find have slides attached and my son's room just isn't big enough for that. Does anyone have any good websites that I can go to to find a bed for my little man? Thanks so much!

but repad them too. Unfortunately, all the web sites I can find just describe how to recover while I need instructions on what to use as "stuffing" and how to cut and apply it as well as recover.
Any one got any ideas?

It's a pretty expensive plastic shower curtain and a really cute design that the kids love, so I don't want to get a new one. Two of the holes for the shower curtain rings have torn and regular tape won't work. We also tried clear mailing tape. Anyone have any other tested and proven ideas?

Thanks!

I have a bougainvillea indoors, it has bloomed exactly one time in 3 years. I have fertilized it, repotted it, water it very infrequently and still it will not bloom. In the winter I sit it in my office which has double pained windows but does get sun at least 3 hours daily. any suggestions?

I need to know about the most it would cost. A neighboring property owner has the right to use a spring on my property. I want to buy that right from them so that they will have no more rights to be on my property. I believe an appropriate price might be a portion of the cost for them to dig a well.

I grew my own tomatoes from seed last year and they were very succesful. We are moving house and I am getting a lovely big garden. I want to start a very small veg patch and a herb garden. Could anyone please give me guidance on what would be good for me to grow as a beginner, bearing in mind I wish to use the produce in the kitchen (ie no marrows please!) Could you also give me tips regarding where to place the patch (against a wall, in sunniest spot etc) and details about soil - I'm not sure of the soil type but the hydrangeas are pink (I believe this can tell you something) and its in Rastrick in West Yorkshire.

Many thanks for all you help x

It is a small room, so I don't want to go too dark, unless maybe it was an accent wall. We have brown microsuede furniture. & we are going to put in a light brown/neutral carpet. What goes great with brown?

When you rearrange you house a certain way. Has something to do with energies and hot spots. I was wanting to say Zen but I know that is not it.

So when my boyfriend graduated, his dad and went and put together a huge collage/picture board for him that had about 200+ pictures of him and his family ever since he was born. We stuck the pictures on a huge piece of wood (probably about 3.5'X4'). We just stuck them on with sticky tack because we thought we would just take it down after his party. Well he like it so much that he wanted to keep it and have it "framed" or put glass or some kind of protective thing over it. Well, we have never gotten around to it yet, and don't really know how much it will cost, or what it all involves, or even where to look for something like that. I decided that I want to surprise him for Valentines Day and get it finished/covered. I've gone onto like Home Depots and Menards websites and it is no help. Can someone help me? How much will it cost? Any ideas on what it involves and what I have to do? Where I would go to get something like that bought or done? Any suggestions are open please....

I live in Texas and when the temp gets near freezing we leave the water running a little so our pipes don't freeze. What do they (y'all) do if you live way up north like northern Minnesota or even Canada? Are the pipes built different so they don't have to have the water running 24/7 all year?

The plasterboard was put up using dabs of adhesive rather than studs, unfortunately. The gap behind the units will vary, as the walls were uneven, but I reckon it's about 2cm or so.And the wall units are fairly heavy, and will be a lot heavier once they're full of stuff!
I thought about using cavity fixings, but would these be able to hold the weight?
Any help or advice here would be gratefully received.
