Home & Garden - 6 June 2007

I got a used fiberglass surf board and want to make it into a coffee table.

Fiberglass is pretty fragile, so if I drill a bunch of screws in it everything will probably just fall apart.

I also thought of just getting a glass top coffee table, take off the glass, and nail the surfboard to it.

Can any handy master give me step-by-step suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I have a 3 unit wall unit which houses my component stereo system. most of the components are in the middle unit, but the amplifier is in the rightmost unit. When I put the wires from the components through the back of the center unit, I am unable to reach them from the end of the side units to grab hold and pull them over to route them over to the amplifier. The wall unit is heavy so i am trying to avoid having to move the side unit to get behind it to reach the wires behind the center unit. Thought there might be something i could use to reach across behing the unit (about 5-6 feet) which could hook on to the ends of the component signal cables so i could pull them over towards the opening in the back of the side unit.

the flowers and herbs would be outdoors on a deck where there is equal amounts of sun and shade throughout the day. I'm an amatuer gardener and I would love to have some kind of garden on my deck...Whether it be vegetables, fruit, herbs or flowers...I just don't know whats best to start in summertime. Thanks!

I planted seeds of all sorts (and followed directions on how far apart and how deep to plant them) two weeks ago, and nothing blossomed.
I'm thinking that the soil wasn't good enough from the people that lived here before.
So, can I now plant already-bloomed flowers in the garden on top of the seeds?

When tiling around a bathtub AND the surrounding walls, can we get away with not using a bullnose edge tile? or would it look funny? If we can, how can we make the edges look better (will caulking alone do the trick?)
