I live in Florida and I need to store food products in my garage. I need to keep my garage cool as I plan on storing food products in my garage. I need to keep the temperature in the garage at a steady 78 degrees. Is it more feasible to run the cooling from my exisiting central air or to get an independent system for the garage? Will I need to sheetrock around the walls inside the garage and or to add insulation??? any help will be greatly appreciated...

We had a mother skunk move under our patio and have her babies. They are now old enough to venture out. One even fell into the window wells and had to be removed by animal control. We put the young one back with the mother and now need to remove all of them.

I have a Vulcan gas wall heater, is it more economical to run it at low overnight so it's warm when we wake up, or put it on high/boost for 2 hours in the morning, just to heat the house?

I have a small city garden with various flowerss. The marigolds were already devoured by slugs and sowbugs and I don't want them to get the other and new flowers I planted to replace them. The problem is that I have a small dog who would love to eat the slug poison from Home Depot. Also, I've read that wood ashes spread about can work, but, as I said, I live in the city and have no access to wood ashes. Any sugestions?

Is there a special trick to using this bit? Every time I try to use it, the bit skips around on the metal surface I am working on. I have only used it in the dremel tool with a simple on/off switch, I haven't used an adjustable speed one because I don't own one. I could probably borrow one if this model is needed instead.

I am trying to add some letters and numbers to a piece of sheet steel. The steel is not heat treated so it is in soft form. It is 4130, if that helps.

I'm just wondering if energy efficient bulbs are compatible with older style lamps? I have a standard desk lamp which uses 40 watt type B bulbs, and which cautions against using any other types due to the risk of fire.

Since i spend quite a bit of my day in my cube, I would like to add some colour to it.

I want to get a flowering plant, but I dont get a lot of natural sunlight. I keep my cube light on for my current plant and he seems to be doing pretty well.

My co-worker has an orchid, but it blooms very rarely. Infact it hasnt since she got it, so she put a fake flower in the pot with the plant :D

I was wondering does anyone know a good flowering plant that will thrive in an office enviornment (no natural light & ac)

Also, i know i am be asking for a little too much but i would like it to bloom regularly and not once every 3 months or so(please dont say get a fake one- ha ha)

I get along really well the with bees, hornets and yellow jackets in my yard. I have a juice trap to keep the hornets from building nests in the doorway, but aside from that, they have free reign. I have always been able to work around them until the past 2 summers. There's one area right in the center of my garden where, if I try to work, one big bumblebee will come out and start browsing. That's fine, but if I don't leave the area within a few minutes after that, it'll bonk me. It doesn't seem to matter what time of day, and it's only ever one bee. I can't hear buzzing elsewhere, although I can't rule out a ground nest because the area is pretty heavily vegetated with a few small decorative structures. I was hoping it would be a one year deal because I heard they move their nest every year, but this is the second summer. If I stay and ignore the bee, will it eventually sting me? Is there a nonviolent way to keep it as bay until I get my work done?
