My son and I need to finish his Pinewood Derby car for Cub Scouts and I have polyurethane, but I don't have lacquer. Is there a difference?

I want to purchase a good, cheap secondary vacuum cleaner while my primary one is being repaired. I need something lightweight but not one of those stick models. Any recommendations?

We have electric baseboard heating that has functioned very well for many years. However, they are now starting to provide less than adequate heat or not work at all. We do not have ducting for forced air heating and cooling, and the extra insulation and attention to detail in the original contruction has meant that electric heat has not become unduly burdensome even with rising electicity costs. Any advice will be appreciated.

I have some cheap solar powered lights. They each have 1 ni-cad??? battery.
Can I use higher rated batteries as long as they are AA size?
Also if I use higher rated batteries ex 1200 instead of 600....will this help my lights to be brighter for longer? thanks for the help in advance.

I heard we could keep mice away for the winter if we used moth balls. We spread a whole box under the trailer. Now the smell is in everything.

I was in one of their stores 3 weeks ago and the couch, loveseat, and chair were still on the floor, but now they are saying that they're sold out of everything in the plum color. My family was going to get me the chair for my birthday. I called a couple of different Value City Furniture locations, but no one has it. Does anyone know where I might be able to find any of the items (preferably the chair & ottoman)? I loved that collection & would be so happy if I could find part or all of it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

For Valentine's, I want to surprise my fiancee by leaving a rose in her car while she is at work. The temperature is supposed to be -12C (10F). If she leaves work at 3:30, what is the earliest I can leave the rose in her car and have it still last?
