Home & Garden - 9 April 2007

The doors I have are really old (70's) but a hideous colour. Can't afford to re-fit and the units are not a standard size, so I can't just buy new doors. I want to paint them red and white.

My garden is not very big but i have a concrete path and a area next to my house concreted. The i have a lawn which also needs paving over. Should i be using a wet cement base of should it all be leveled off with sand first and then paved ontop? what type of sand should i be using? I want to do it myself as all the quotes i have been getting are for block paving and i heard ist quicker for the gangs of men jumping out of vans, so have been stronger advise against this.

please help i have some DIY experience but not building/ lanscaping knowledge. also could someone explain how to allow drainage

thank you

I am replacing a twenty year old steam boiler and steam radiators to a radiant floor system. I am so confused by the number of choices to heat the water for this system. I could use a traditional boiler, a tankless hot water heater, or even a wall hung combination boiler and tankless hot water system. What is the most efficient system that will offer the lowest heating costs? I can use either oil or propane. Natural gas is not available in my area. My house is a 1100 sqft cape. Thanks for the help!

My grandma likes to sit and watch her birds outside, but the squirrels always come and eat all the food. So she has to buy extra food just because of the dumb squirrels......

is their any way to keep the squirrels away without killing them, is there some bird feeder that squirrels cant get to

My husband and I recycle everything and each week we have more recycables than trash, I wish more people would do this. It takes the same amount of time to throw something into a recycling bin as it does to throw it in the trash.

I planted them all in pots and the taller ones (approx 23cm) the bottom leaves are going a very pale yellow.....am I doing something wrong or is this normal?
The soil is kept damp and when planting I used compost.
