I am looking to build an outdoor shed to keep my chinchillas in, I've seen many people do it and I really need more space. I currently have six chinchillas and am planning on expanding my herd to atleast ten.
Since I live in Canada (where it gets snowy and cold) it would have to be insulated. I would need to to be heated in the winter and cooled in the summer. (I've been thinking solar) Any ideas of how I could go about doing this? Does anyone have any plans?
Any information will be appreciated. Thanks.

I have a WWI metal army trunk, 30"x15"x12".
It is bronze colored, with gold latches and leather straps. Other than a coffee table, any ideas for incorporating it into my decor?

My kitchen is layed with porous homogenised ceramic tiles and they get stained very easily that I need to bleach my floor regularly. Is it possible for me to coat the tiles with a lacquer or some kind of sealant (without making them slippery) to maintain the look and cleaniness less tediously?

On newer push lawnmowers there are no adjustments on the carb. When you take off the fuel tank and carb to clean trash from the tank these springs get bent some cause them to be out of adjustment or something to where it does not run right. What must I do to fix lawnmowers that have these cheap cheesy carbs on them? I think both are 3.5 briggs.

I am looking at starting up a business of Mowing lawns and doing spring clean up, like hauling brush and picking up mulch and spreading it for customers. I like to know what should I charge like on a small lawn and then what do i charge for big lawns and then maybe even like huge places of business that have alot of lawn. Do i charge by the Hour, or by the job. Also what should i charge just to go pick up a thing of mulch or whatever they want, I know the cost i would add in of what the cost of the amount of mulch they need but what is my charge to pick it up, then if they want me to spead it out. Also what about hauling brush to get rid of for them. I do have a place to put the brush at no cost but i need to make something on a cleanup and hauling brush or whatever. I have done almost all these things but never of my own business. Can anyone help me out. I live in New Hampshire.
Thanks and if any other suggestion would be nice also.

Thaks again

Hi all. I am trying to think of ways to be more environmentally friendly and I would like some information on composting. I do not have a yard but I do grow flowers on my deck and I was wondering how I would go about composting on my deck.

I bought interior paint about a year to a year and a half ago, intending to piant my living room, and never got around to it! Now that spring is here again, i've got the fever to do some home improvements. Do you know if the paint is still 'viable' enough to use? It has remained sealed, kept at room temp, and is a good brand name- Dutch Boy. I'm hoping all these factors will work in my favor! :) I'd hate to go out and buy 4 new cans! Thanks!

1000 lbs of really old hay in hay loft. Looks like I am going to have to cut through the floor and let it drop down.
Has raccoon poop, bird poop, and maybe some dead animals in there too. Setting fire to entire barn is not an option. My thoughts are to burn the hay outside of the barn... Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

I need to buy a new bathroom exhaust fan. Sometimes yellow beads of moisture drip down the walls from the ceiling (and they're yellow because the previous homeowners were smokers). I think a bigger/better fan will help. But apparently there are different speeds (CFM?) and I don't know what I should get. I don't know what I have, either.

Also, I need to buy a part for the showerhead. It isn't securely attached to the wall and I think a piece is broken, but I don't know what it's called. It's a circular metal part that goes around the arm of the showerhead. I assume that it is supposed to grip the arm and the wall, but mine just twirls around the arm and isn't connected to the wall at all. What's this part called?
