Where can I find a thin sheet of metal basically any size from 10x10 inches to 2x2 feet (any shape) It needs to be really thin though.

If you want to know what I doing with it, I'm making a collage of pictures (put in magnets) to hang on my wall but I need a thin sheet of metal to put them on, then I'll hang it on my wall.

I am what I guess you could call a pothead. Smoking gets boring sometimes and I want to find new ways to get high. I heard of weed tea but I am skeptical of this idea. I don't want to waste my weed making this when it's not even gonna do anything for me. So anyone here ever make it? How do you make it? How much ganj do you need?

My main drain to the sewage seems to have a partial clog. Plumber says he is on his way to snake it. My question is that when we were looking for the source of our problem, We found a round overflow/vent that was in a utility closet and had been covered with plywood. It was pushing water out from underneath the plywood when large amounts of water was pushed through the pipe. The house was built in the '30's and we have only lived here a year. My question is shouldn't this vent be connected to the outside somehow? It just doesn't seem very sanitary that this thing is just covered with some plywood. What about leaking gases, the smell and such, not to mention the water when the pipe is not flowing well. The plumber is on his way and I just don't want my house torn up or be taken advantage of because of my plumbing ignorance! Thanks in advance for your help!

I have a squash vine I planted at the base of a dead tree. When it got huge, I started trellising it up poles leaning on the tree. I got a small harvest off of it before it quit producing in the summer heat, but now it is producing a ton of fruit above ground.
I chose the location because I fed horses hay there last summer, and it is a rich mulch and compost mix, but the animals are starting to forage for acorns now, and I am concerned about the safety of my plant. I have not seen runner roots like my pumpkin has, and I was wondering if burying the vines would be good, bad or not make a diffrence.
This was an experimint, and it has been fun and successfull so far! I just want to take it as far as it will go.

I have an aero bed and it inflates fine, but then overnight it very slowly deflates so that in the morning it is very soft and uncomfortable. Is there a way to find the leak point and patch it?

Like do you pull the old stuff forward and put the new stuff behind it so you use it oldest first?

(My cabinets are oddly neat and I rotate stock)

My mom washes her mop cloths and her dish cloths in the same load of laudry because she soaks her mop cloths in bleach and very hot water for an hour before. do you think this is sanitary?

I know bleach kills germs but it seems like floors and food shouldn't mix, regarless. Is it the concept that bothers me, or is there an actual problem with it?

I am a stay at home mom with way to much time on my hands. I have the enitre house cleaned by n10 am, and my kids tend to keep themselves busy. I love painting, making jewlery, cross stich. and I also have been working on a scrap book. But I need something else to do. I am going nuts just sitting at home doing the same thing all the time. I also take my kids to the park, go shopping just to walk around. But what else is there. I also read books.

My washing machine started a new and crazy thing yesterday. The water won't stop running (filling up). I turn it to off, I even unplug it, and the water drips out as it does when it starts a new cycle. The only way I can stop it is to shut off the main water source running to the machine. Anyone know why it's doing this and most importantly, how to fix it? Please only helpful answers, I know I can call a repairman, I want to know if I can fix it myself. Thanks!!

I just moved into my first new place. Problem is, the people who lived there before me are getting TONS of mail. Its filling my box. Most of it is bills and collection agencies. How do I stop this mail from being delivered, because they obviously intentionally did not register a change of address. UGH!

I recently had my deck stripped of stain, washed and sealed. After 10 days, I can still see the small cracks that were visible prior to the procedure when the deck was dry.
Shouldnt most of the cracks have got filled in or is that just my misconception about how deck sealing works?

There is an office in my building that has a trap door to the mens restroom. Now the office smells strongly of pee. If I put a box of Arm & Hammer in the door will it help with the smell? Is there anything else we can do?
