My friends and I are cleaning up an old cemetery which has been terribly neglected. What's the best thing to clean the head stones and grave markers without damaging the granite or marble. Some of these markers had to be literally dug up...they were sunken and overgrown. Lots of them have unbelieveable mold all over them. We want to clean them up nice but don't want to damage the stone.

Which should I go for? The walls are fairly smooth, although the finish isn't great up close & there are some cracks. Should I stick with smooth, or go for textured? I can't visualise the effect it would have. What are people's experiences of this stuff? It's half the coverage, so twice the cost!
Also, what's the stuff you pain the unrendered bricks 6" below the render with, is it bitcamen?

They used to have agitators that would go up and down rapidly. What were they called, and how come they don't make them anymore? I think General Motors used to make them.

I am building a new house. We are going to have Red Oak cabinets with a Red Oak Stain Finish and a Black Countertop. The countertop has some beige and tan swirled in. I am having a hard time with Wall color and Ceramic Tile for the floors. It is an open kitchen and has french doors at the back so there will be plenty of light.
Please Help

We've moved into a new house, and lo and behold, there seemes to be a permanent midgie mist over our lawn. Is there anyway to dispel this annoying nimbus of bitey insect pain? I thought for a while that an ultra violet style electric zap-trap might do the job, but having bought a cheap version, they don't seem to care about the light. Any ideas?

The garden is 30ft by 16ft. half shaded for most of the day. The lawn that is down is mossy to say the least.
My husband and I both work so would prefer low maintenance.
I was thinking about a majority of pebbles and patios interspersed with planters with raised beds. Can anyone suggest good plants that need little doing to them that will cope in shade.
3/4 of the garden is shaded most of the day.

Many Thanks

I have roses and painted daisies. I want to be able to keep them for a very long time. Right now they still have all the colors that they were when I got them, however they are wilting.

I'm making a shadow box from a large picture frame, but i didnt' realize that the glass is not exactly clear. The pics would have to be right up against the glass to see through. Is there anything i can use in replace of the glass that would still look good?

How to make dry powder cleaner with baking soda?

I took a class, but I lost the Recipe. I think that it had a tad bit of water along with a couple of other things mixed with baking soda and oil for Fragrance.

when it was done, it came out dry as the baking soda had been alone. It had a beautiful Fragrance and could clean better then anything else I tried.

I don't want it to turn out wet, I tryed that, I like the dry form.

Thanks...

I bought an Intex above ground pool 18ft.x48in. last year and we did alright keeping it up but we just never understood how to keep the ph balanced. We always bought the packs of Shock and poured it in the pool. If anyone has an above ground pool, could you tell me in details what chemicals you put in the pool each week, or daily and where you buy your chemicals at. I got the kit, but im not quite understanding it. If someone wants to chat with me to help me out my s/n is girlegrl7,please share your ideas, thanks!!

we recently had a sun tube fitted in our bathroom as there is no window. it was fitted by our builder who we are now in a legal dispute with. can anyone tell me if the external panel of the sun tube should be fitted on the south side of the roof, as ours is on the north side and lets little light through, making it useless. we still have to turn our bathroom light on during the day.(i didn't get to see the fitting instructions) any advice please?

I have two 6 year old grapefruit trees at the 3000' elevation in Arizona. They normally yield 75+ fruit each winter.

This past winter we had the worst freezes on record. The trees lost about 30% of their leaves afterward. I gave them their usual meal of citrus fertilzer in early March as normal.

The trees have come back stongly and have terrific new leaves but have not blossomed. No fruit.

It appears I will have no fruit at all next winter. Ideas?
