Home & Garden - 27 July 2007

I had it professionally power washed 2 weeks ago and now the black mold spots are returning. What can I use to keep this from happening? It is a red trex deck.

Actually I only need to R&R, remove and replace, the plastic pinion gear on top of the starter. It meshes into the ring gear and it is now stripped. So I go to take off the starter and find one of the bolts holding it on comes up underneath the ring gear/flywheel and so it looks like the entire top end with must now come off. A small job became big. Surely the engineers didn't intend for a simple job to become this hard.... Is there another way to do this? Any B&S engineers out there?

it's not as wide as those big fuzzy bees, but it looks like one in every way only it doesn't have wings.

I am trying to hang some heavy-ish artwork on the wall, but I don't want to hang them where the studs are. I've tried nails and screws, but it's like my walls are made out of chalk! The nails/screws both pulled out almost immediately.

Suggestions?

I had 2 honey locust trees planted in my parkway in mid June. One is doing great and the other appears to not be doing so good. The leaves are turning yellow and starting to fall off.
The leaves are supposed to stay green until the fall.
They both were in a burlap ball and they are about 15 feet in height. Can I save it? Is it too late?

Im looking for an idea to vamp up cheap flatware for a dinner party Im having. I was wondering if I could purchase cheap flatware and paint it. So far, I can't seem to find a non-toxic paint. I did find one that is considered non-toxic, but it's not approved by the FDA as food safe. If I use that, I'd probably only paint the handles, but I would also like to pain the spoon bowls and fork tines as well. Anyone have any suggestions?

When it rains the water puddles and my corn is falling over. I also have a tomato plant and the leaves sit in the water and they die. I thought about just filling it with dirt but was concerned that covering the bottom of the plants might hurt them. Will they grow more or will this injure them. The tomatoes are very healthy and I do not want to lose them. I thought about transplanting them but am concerned.

We want to repaint it white or black, is one of those easier than the other? How do we make it look professional? Should we paint? Spraypaint? Glossy? Matte? Does it need to be coated with something after the paint dries? It will be indoors.

Did my mother plant these or are they volunteer?
I was surprised after I spent a whole afternoon and evening cutting an unruley bush out next to my drive. I hacked and cut and filled an entire truck bed with limbs and when I pulled up in the drive 4 days later these pretty long stemmed lillies popped up where the bush was cut out.
My mother died about 14 yrs ago and I keep wondering if all these little surprises came from her or it they are just something that pops up volunteer. My boyfriend tells me these are called surprise lillies. Where do they come from?

What is better a candle or fragrance oil?

I was at bath and body works. But did not know which one is better, the fragrance oil or a candle. I'd really like to know from your experience which one is better.
