My daughter is getting older and still wets the bed. How can I get rid of the urine odor? It is somewhat noticeable because she does it pretty frequently. I've heard of putting the mattress outside, but I don't have anywhere clean to put it outdoors and I don't want to publicly shame my daughter (She's an only child so people would know who peed in the bed). I obviously cannot put the mattress in a washer, so how do I remove the stains and odors left in it? How have you all dealt with this situation?

I'd like to obtain the ideal slump & mix in order to get the best workability and strength when it sets. The ones we poured earlier tuned out brittle, so I want to make sure we get the right mixture & slump for the next pour. (Only well informed anwers please)

I have a 52 or 55 inch tv. I have had it since about the year 2000. The problem is there is no model number on the tv so I cannot diagnose the problem. A couple of months ago there was apower surge in my house and the tv blanked out. Now when i plug it in it just makes a ticking sound like it's on a timer. What is this and how can I fix it?

Remember that fountain that moves, pouring water from a piece of bamboo as the snow falls? I'm in the States, I've checked e-bay and other internet searches. It's probably not hard to make, but I have no skill in that area.

These miniatures have a brass plaque on the back celebrating Granadas 35 years of Coronation Street, it also states who lived in these houses and the number of each house. There is also the Corner Shop. I would like to know where these were made and if they are collectable.

I want to make curtains out of canvas drop-cloth, but need to find some large grommets for the hanging holes. Also, where can I find the grommet machine/puncturer? The large grommet size would need to be about 1 inch diameter.

How do you change a two prong electrical socket into a three prong (grounded) socket in an older house? What are things I should watch for?

Links to ‘how-to’ would be awesome!


Thanks!
