I already have the survey of the lots in my subdivision, but I don't understand them. It has my house and the amount of feet the property is in each way, but it's not a perfect square. How do I measure it? I think I know where the marker is, but if I measure out from that in one direction, how do I know if that line is angled slighty to left or right? If there were 2 markers this would be so much easier, but theres just one.

I'm raking the moss off the lawn by hand, and it is taking a long time.

Is there a power tool that can do this job ?
If so, what is it called and where can I get one ?

Thanks

I haven't found a bathroom light fixture that I like that takes compact fluorescent bulbs. So far I saw a fixture that takes 2 halogen bulbs with a max of 100 watts that I like. If those bulbs take a lot of energy, I will keep looking.

I have a brand new kitchen which top is made of granite. Each time I try to clean it with kitchen sprays these leave the surface look opaque and it takes me to rub again and again to finally get the shiny effect. Do you know any better remedy?

I have never been that bothered about it before, as I live on the fourth floor and it is a private balcony and not exactly a security risk. But now we are having some building work done and having scaffolding put up. It is a euro cylinder lock, and from what I can gather, I need the keys to bring the cam in line. How can I do it without the key? Your help would be greatly apprieciated!!!!! Thanks..

Regarding wood filler, all purpose filler, etc..
Are the powdered variety that you mix yourself generally better than the more expensive ready mixed types that come in tubes?

And what are the best products?

We live in a ground floor/sub basement apartment where some of the walls are partially underground. The problem appears to be in isolated patches, though I could be wrong. The sticky dampness evaporates quickly from fingertips, and although the worst patch of wall is on an outside wall, the problem does NOT seem to be isolated to outside walls. This "residue" does not have much odor, if any.
I have 2 small babies and am concerned that this could somehow be hazardous to their health.
Thanks!

Help, we have just bought a house, and want to fix a clothes rail into a cupboard that has been plaster boarded. My hubby has already encountered a massive problem with fixing curtain poles (and has resorted to no more nails!!) I don't think this will work with a curtain pole!!

Is there any way we can find the wooden battons behind the plaster board walls to give a stronger hold?
