I have some outdoor cement steps with no railings. I was given two wrought iron stair railings from a friend who was getting rid of them. Now, the problem is...I don't know how to install them! Does someone please have specific instructions you could give me?!

I have 3 unfinished pine pieces I'll use as a spice rack (they're like open-top boxes to be mounted on the wall). I'd like to paint them but i wasn't looking for a huge, costly project. I thought I could just spray-paint them. Is primer absolutely necessary? Would it be just as easy to use brush-on paint and primer? I'm not looking for perfect results and I don't want to buy lots of tools & such.

I have a Garden for the first time in my life, it is doing well. Can I freeze Zuccini, Jalapeno, and Bannana Peppers? If so do I have to cut them up, is there a certain time frame I should stick to when freezing? I wanted the Jalapeno's for winter which is about 6 months away, for Chili. I am really new to this so any info would be much appreciated, Thanks!

I got a dead raccoon stuck in the trunk of my car and he bled all over it. He is out now but the carpet that lines the trunk is stained with blood. I heard you could use mayonnaise.

I heard that if you make a tea from it and just have a little sip you can tell if it is poison if it is really bitter. I tried it and it seems to have worked. Has anyone else heard or tried this?

I have an area (5'x23') running along the side of my garage. The previous homeowner did nothing but make the gravel in it look pretty. I tried planting some shrubs and Alberta Dward Spruces but then read online that it takes FOREVER for them to grow and they are 1' tall now. So, with that being said, I wanted to know a reasonable amount to pay a landscaper to come out, dig up the gravel, put stone edging around and fill it with dirt. I'll plant the shrubs myself when it gets cooler here. Any help would be nice. I feel stupid calling around to our local landscaping companies.

I Live in Florida, on a 1 acre size lot with a ton of oak trees and such. I've cleaned out most of the overgrowth and made sure to eliminate any areas of standing water, but everytime I go outside it isn't 30 seconds before those jokers attack... it's so bad that no matter where you go in the yard you are bitten and constantly.

How can I stop this? I want to be able to actually enjoy these beautiful 100 year old oak trees on my lot, but the mosquito's currently make it impossible.
