Home & Garden - 14 February 2007

We have had several keys made from "original" key.. ( which seems to work fine) at different locations... and the keys seem to "catch" and not unlock... or will unlock but not lock back. Might the problem be with the actual lock? if so, do we need to use a lubtricant... ( I'd guess graphite) in the lock itself? Why else would keys that have worked for years stop working?.. all keys were made from the oroginal key... any and all help would be greatly appreciated.. thank you..!!!

Wood, vinyl, or aluminum. I want to fence about half an acre. I am interested in cost effectiveness, but also stability and maintenance needs. We have a dog that will be spending some time in this yard, and a small child, so it needs to be durable and safe.

It was cold and stormy last night, but no colder than it has been. The kitchen faucet is a one handle job. The cold works fine, but when you move it over to hot, nothing comes out. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Last time I started it - it worked. I have the choke off - the throttle on high - and primed it several times. What does it mean - "to flood it"? If I flooded it, what can I do? I'm a woman - and have NEVER had to deal with this before. Got hit with a blizzard! HELP?

I have purchased 7 oz. canvas and want to glue oak slats which I have already machined onto the canvas to form the Tambour door. I am puzzled as to just which adhesive to use to do this job correctly, as ive spent a great deal of time machining the slats and down want to ruin the job.

I have a rather small house and no closet space (just a little one in each bedroom.) I am really running out of places to put things and I hate having to throw stuff in my bedroom before company comes. Since I have two kids downsizing isn't really an option. I can't stand a bunch of clutter, but organization just doesn't come naturally to me. I would love any ideas!

I have a circular(wonder what was put down) burn mark on my laminate counter top. It's in a very inconvenient place-about 3 inches from the stove-middle of the dang thing. I thought about a trivet, but that would look weird just sitting there all alone in the middle of the counter. Wish I could get granite-but alas-so is life. C'mon all you creative people. Any ideas?

The power coming into a residential home is 240 volts. How much does this volts fluctuate before that could be some damage to any of our appliances or wiring?
Also, if one of the load lines are higher voltage that the other would that cause problems or damage?

Why waste time and money on regular glass? My kids are just going to break it anyway before they play with it.

I always end up buying crappy pillows, but I never know it until I have slept on them for a couple of nights and they start getting flat. I don't like for the pillow to be so thick that my head is in the air, but I want it to be soft and fluffy. Does anyone have a favorite pillow?

I bought a bulb that came in a box with a disk of soil and it has grown to 31 inches tall! It is bending over and we used a stake to try and tie it up but the stick is too short. How deep of a pot should it be in and when do they begin to bloom?
