Home & Garden - 7 February 2007

I heat with wood, and where I keep it is downhill from my den door. The path is covered in sawdust (4-6 in deep) from cutting,splitting,etc. I use a wheelbarrow to go to the door,and am having trouble.At first I left the tire a little soft to float better, but it's been getting squirrely. I now pumped up the tire to max, and it's like a rock.But when I get to the deep chips, it stops cold . Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

A while back when I was in Brazil I noticed that shop assistants when wrapping a parcel they used a nifty trick to cut twine without using any cutting tools, just their bare hands. It looked like a knot they tied on the one hand and with the other with a swift tug they snapped the twine miraculously. Could someone please show a how-to ? Thank you.

I have a beautiful 1/2 oz 999 silver coin that is set to wear as a necklace. However, I am noticing that it is becoming tarnished and am not sure how to clean/polish it so that it is always as brilliant as the day when I bought it.

Our kid's bathroom has white hexagon flooor tiles, and wall tiles 2/3 the way up which are white with little tiny brown speckles making it look a little cream colored. What sort of sink and countertop would you put in, what sort of style would you suggest? Thanks.

I would prefer solar, but if they are battery operated they need to have a sensor for dusk/dawn to perserve battery.

i've heard you're supposed to use regular soap & water, but it doesn't seem to work that well.

Can someone explain these new energy smart light bulbs that are supposed to use less electricity.
specifically a 15 watt is suposed to equal a 60 watt?
Does that mean I can use a 26 watt bulb that say equals 100 watts in a lamp that says 60 watt max?

I recently got a ficus bonsai and i'm wondering how i can get more leaves to grow. I really dont know too much about pruning, other than you cut things off. But there's gotta be a way to trim her so that leaf formation is encouraged, right?

I just moved into a new rental apartment. The refridgerator was open and turned off when I moved in. All I have done is plug-in the unit and close the door. There is no food in there.

When my father was in China in 1944, he bought and brought back a "coin". On the coin were pictures not fit for children to see so he soldered over them. I know this coin is at least 67 years old and I would like to restore it and possibly sell it to a collector. Any ideas how? Your help, as always, is much appreciated

Hi there-I have read over some of the Q&A already posted for white noise while sleeping & I need some recommendations.
I have always slept w/ a fan since I was a kid and cant do without it.I've tried radio but anything like the TV that produces light in the room or radio that has anything but a constant unbreaking sound annoys me and wakes me.I currently use a VERY loud fan to sleep w/ but to get the sound as loud as I need it I have to run it on high.I have 2 dogs who are NOT happy with that situation during the winter months who sleep in my room.It has been below 0 F here in temps this week so a fan is just too cold.Even turning it the other way-the air still circulates back into the room and is freezing my doggies. My question is: I have seen some white noise machines online but never tried them in person as I am really rural and have no stores that sell these things close. I need recommendations on some that provide really LOUD noise similar to a fan.Thanks!
