Home & Garden - 23 January 2007

We had new HW floors installed and polyuerethaned over the weekend but because we had other work being done we put down that brown paper to protect it. One small spot wasn't completely dry and the paper stuck to it. Anyone know a good way to get it off?

We have a very long dirt driveway that is too expensive to pave. Right now there are quite a few potholes. What should I use to fill the holes and prevent them from coming back? Thanks.

How do you remove hard water build up on molded tubs and shower stalls? My husband and I just moved into a house and there is hard water on the bottom of the tub. I tightened the faucet so that the leak is stopped but I have tried everything to get the hard water off. Even commercial grade stuff. What works?

Do I have to take extra measures for the fumes?
I have windows open & a fan in the window.

My son is worried about the fumes and I'd like to put his mind at rest.

Any help would be much appreciated.
The problem is that sometimes randomly the radiators in my house only seem to be warm, not even close to hot even when I have the boiler set to maximum but other times they're really really hot-too hot to touch, there seems to be no pattern to this, any ideas?

I have been told that I can use chicken wire, but I would like something more professional looking. I want to take the glass inserts out of an old secretary and replace that glass with the metal grids. That would give this piece of furniture a french provincial look. Thanks for the help!

I am thinking of replacing my hot water tank with a Stiebel Eltron Tempra tankless electric water heater. I have been told that electric tankless doesn't work very well. Does anybody out there have one, and do you like it?

Has anyone used a 30,000 - 80,000 convection heater with a 20 lb tank? The manual says it will run for a very short time on low with a 20 lb tank but the front of the box says it will run for 8.5+ hours on a 20 lb tank. The manual also said a 20 lb tank would only work for mildly cold weather and I would need a 100 lb tank for days colder than 40 degress and two 100 lb tanks for days colder than 20 degrees. Does this make any sense to anyone? I want to use it to heat my garage which is less than 500 sq ft so the low setting should work fine. I wanted to get some opinions from those who have used them before I set it up or bring it back.

Thanks for your help
