Home & Garden - 4 June 2007

I am having trouble with squirrels digging up my basil and chives (nothing else though). Does anyone have any tips for detering them from digging in my garden.

im looking for a glue/cement that will bond rubber (from a bicycle inner tube) to steel.
it needs to make a nice airtight bond so i can pump air into somthing.
and it needs to be available in a normal UK hardware store.

thanks.

It's been at least 15 days since I planted them from seed. Could it be the climate?

Currently, we have a partially finished basement was was done decades ago. There is asbestos tile which is intact except for several tiles that are missing in their entirety. We've been advised to either leave it as is or cover it up. The basement is pretty dry. We run a dehumidifier in the summer in case.

On four occasions, water has gotten in. Twice, after new windows were installed, once when the washer broke and once when the shower directly above leaked. We have since made all repairs but want to be realistic that we may get water again.

That being said, what type of flooring is the best for our situation? We are looking for something we can do ourselves, that will not get moldy or deteriorate if moistened. Perhaps something that is floating? Does that exist?

The room is an art studio and will be a playroom eventually. Any ideas from experienced homeowners and contractors?

I bought an entire new system for my house last year. It is a carrier infinity system with variable speed blowers (Top of the line). I can't seem to get a straight answer out of my contractor. Indoor humidity reads 62%, I have the system set to dehumidify at 46% (Lowest Setting). The system works at cooling, but once it reaches the set temperature, everything turns off. Shouldn't the fan keep blowing to continue to dehumidify even though no more cooling is required? Both the fan coil and condenser is quiet. Carrier boasts efficient humididy control, so I am surprised this is not working.

I know there are primers out there for that, but every monkey behind the home depot or lowe's counter gives me a different story about which one to use, and the can or company spec's are not at all helpful either!!
