We've had a few very mild days and they're back from last year. Can't figure out where they are coming in. I have a cat so it has to something safe.

During a window restoration project, I used Duck tape to hold plastic sheeting to the aluminum siding to protect the bare wood of the windows during painting. When the Duck tape was removed, some of the adhesive remained on the aluminum siding. The adhesive has hardened quite nicely and has been almost impossible to remove. This condition is rather unsightly. I need suggestions for removing this adhesive without damaging the paint on the aluminum siding.

I'm thinking of making some leather chaps and vests and stuff for use on my motorcycle.

I have an industrial sewing machine, but would prefer to do it in a unique way, that is portable. I was thinking... rivets???

I have a house with a small kitchen and a powder room next to it. I was hoping to tear down the wall that seperates them and make the kitchen bigger. How expensive is this sort of thing and how difficult is it for the average joe to do? I don't have much experience with this type of work, so is it something that anyone can do with a little effort? I don't want the roof caving in on me.

We bought a house where the lawn wasn't mowed for about 3 years. After finally getting it down, I discovered we have pocket gophers. I tried a couple of the commercial baits down the holes and even Juicy Fruit gum. Nothing seems to work. Does anyone have any ideas for me. Thanks!

I have a door that catches on one spot on the carpet. I can't change the door, according to my landlord, but can I flatten the carpet somehow?

I'd like to switch from regular, incandescent light bulbs to spiral-shaped fluorescent light bulbs. However, it says on the package that you are not supposed to put globes over fluorescents, even though fluorescents don't give off as much heat. Why is that?

I've done this myself with no problems, but a lot of the recent e-coli outbreaks are being blamed for cows deficating in the irrigation supply. This doesn't make sense to me. How can it be both ways?

k. heres the scoop. im moving by car & moving truck from florida to new york 1,200 miles, 24 hours if i could actually drive straight thru, but i cant. lets say 30 then?
but....
i have 3 cats. i cant stick them into 3 cat carriers for 30 hours, they will need a litter box, and food, and to move (have you seen the size of those cat carriers)
ok, so, dog crate sounds good right? i could put them all in a crate, with a litter box, food, maybe a blanket and what ever.
but here lies the major problem.
pet crates are not made to fit in the back of a car. even if they are long enough, they are too high to fit in my little sedan, on the pulled down seats.
wighth doesnt matter though. so, i think im going to have to custom build them a cage for the back of the car.
but out of what?.even if i could weld (cant) i wouldnt know where to get those bars. and ive seen some in mesh, but they would rip that fast. ideas?? get creative. im no fool, i can build something. but out of what?

I was opening a tin of sardine the other day and some of the oil splashed on my T-Shirt... I thought no worries.. I'll just throw it in the wash.. that never helped because the stain is still there and I love this t-shirt :( The t-shirt is less than a week old.
