I have been doing the sanding with coarse to fine steel wool. It seems fairly smooth. Question is how do I "polish/buff" to make sure all of the small grit is off before I paint? Using a "rustoleum" oil based, do I need to fine sand between coats? Any other hints would be appreciated, email me at sajaru316@yahoo.com thanks

I have an older house with a dirt basement floor and I'm worried they will try to take up residence inside. How can I either kill them or discourage them from coming near the house. I already keep the grass cut short and don't have much lying around that they would want to hide under. The one I think is a milk snake is kind of grey body with tan around black bloches. I live north of Kingston ON.

I live in a fairly small and broke town I suppose! I'm very upset I just so happen to live in a neglected "ghetto" neighborhood well most of us are making an effort to keep our homes and restore the value of our homes but our streets are terrible the water lines were recently replaced/repaired but the roads are muddy, theres huge tire tracks, and pot holes,and broken asphalt. This town has been rumored to be a crooked little town. My question is " Who should I talk too or what should I/we do to get our streets fixed?" Please help it's a real eye sore to all of our homes. My neighbor considered a petition but I want more advice. Thank you!

About 1/3 of the basement is a crawl space but the rest was supposedly finished. I have landscaped so that the water does not come in when it rains- the humidity is just +++. The walls had only cheap styrofoam insulation between the studs which were placed on with the 4" side against the wall. There was NO vapour barrier at all. If we insulate properly with the proper studding and put on a vapour barrier will this help with our humidity problem? Is there something else we should do? We have an air exchanger that runs well but when it is hot and humid outside the drywall in the basement is actually wet to touch. Should we put a sealer on the inside walls before we stud and insulate or is this not worth anything? We live in Ontario, Canada so our winters can be quite severe and the basement is cold. We also live fairly close to a river so the water table is quite high. Any suggestions from you handypeoples would be much appreciated. Thanks Loads.

I just bought a rose bush and put it in the ground a few weeks ago. I had two buds on it and the roses did bloom. However, my leaves are curling now and the leaves are turning yellow to brown like it is dieing. How can I save my rosebush?

We have one of those 3 ft inflatable pools, we've treated it with pool shocker 4 in 1, the spa tablets, and even clean the filter everyday with bleach. But the pool is still green, what's wrong and how do we fix it.

I guess this is more of a question and answer both! Besides sitting there for hours and shredding papers, I started putting my "used" cat's litter in with the trash! So far, no problems with anything I have done this with. Someone would have to be awful desperate to go through trash with "used cat litter" mixed in with it!! Any other answers would be appreciated. By the way, if you don't have a cat, ADOPT ONE or contact a local pet shop for "donations of used litter"!!! This should almost put an end to identity theft and may put your mind at ease a little.

The inspector could not test the central AC because the temperature was below 65º & he said it could ruin the system. Now its a month after I purchased the condo, and summer is in full swing, so for the first time tried to turn on the AC. It sounded like it was on, you could hear noise from the return vents... but no air was coming out of all the other vents. I had it on for over like an hour and no change in room temp. Is there something i'm missing here? Is this totally my responsibility now that the closing is done? I dont feel its fair since it could not be tested during the inspection, and the previous homeowner need said something was wrong with it. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Just had my inground pool liner replaced. However, the bottom feels rough on my feet and in some cases you can actually feel pebbles sticking out all over the bottom of the pool. I am afraid this will cause the liner to tear again. Are they not supposed to smooth out the bottom prior to replacing the liner? What are my options?

I can never find a simple looking couch that is just one color with simple arms and back. And when I do find one almost simple it costs usually hundreds or thousands. Where can I find one?
