I always go (from bottom:
- little bit of coal
- loosly scrumpled paper
- LOTS of sticks
- Coal

But, it never seems to light perfect.
Which is the best way?
And don't suggest petrol please!

My kids were rough-housing and one of them put their head through the curio cabinet. How do you remove/replace a pane of glass? Also, what is the best house hold product to remove stains from a carpet? I'm on a tight budget and can't afford expensive chemicals.

I'm interested in putting ponds or fountains a distance from the source of electricity so I'm thinking solar panels. There's lots of sun so that's no problem.

I am considering buying a small cottage and adjacent land in Ireland for use primarily as a holiday home. I have narrowed down my choices to two properties. Both are in exceptionally scenic areas affording privacy and stunning natural landscapes. However, one has already been modernised (renovated) and sells for about 40,000EURO more than the other. Would I be saving money to buy the 'project' house and renovating it myself, or is it potentially a money pit and I'd end up spending more than the already-finished property? When I say 'renovate it myself' I mean hiring people to do it for me, since I'm completely naive about these things and helpless when it comes to DIY projects. So, my question is what can I expect to pay in order to renovate a small 200-year-old Irish cottage in disrepair but sound structural condition to a high standard, and how long would this take? Thanks in advance.

I want to grow peas in container gardens on my deck, using the lattice work decking as a place for them to climb. I want to plant a variety-english, early, snow, snap, etc. The package says to sow outdoors 8 weeks before last frost, which would be now for NC. Can I start them in jiffy pot greenhouses indoors, or should I put the jiffy pots outside after planting? Thanks for any help

I am wanting to grow all types of peas, english, snow, early, alaska, etc. I have started some other plants in jiffy peat pots, but wondering about how to do the peas. Package says to sow outdoors 6-8 weeks before last spring frost, which would be about now as I live in NC. Would it work if I used the jiffy pots, and placed the container outside? Any help would be much appreciated.

I just spent $200 to fill my propane tank 9 days ago and they put in 68 gallons and it is now empty.

Even when I have the tempature set on 65 it feels llike 50.

The air that blows through the vents is not really hot just warm and sometimes cold.

The mobile home itself is really old.

It was made in 1970, so the insulation is really bad to.

I dont know what to do.

I have electric heaters running but they dont do much besides run up my electric bill. ($42 last month)

Would it be best to convert my propane heater to something else or will that even help.

What can I do.

My pipes keep freezing inside the trailer and one of them burst last month. (Not outside the trailer, not underneath the trailer, but inside the trailer. That's right, it is below freezing inside my trailer)
Please help.
I dont know what to do and dont say something stupid like turn your thermostat down. I am honestly at the point of suicide all ready dont push me over the edge. I keep it at 60.
