Home & Garden - 3 October 2007

I am trying to figure how a safe way to dispose of shredded paper. The paper is not finely shredded, it's in large strips. There are 5 trash bags full that need to be disposed of. I don't know what to do with it. It can't just be thrown in the dumpster.

The person who told me about this said, of course you pull out the pump & then fire the gun, then put the pump back in. It is supposed to break up the lime deposits & then it will work good.

I tinted my hair last night in the bathroom. Some hair color trickled down the sink cabinet and dried there. It won't come off. I tried toothpaste and nail polish remover. Nothing has worked so far. Any suggestions? Help appreciated.

I am "shocked awake" each morning when my boys hit the ice cold water of the bowl... It's like a freaking Siberian lake! On the other hand the jolt is sufficient enough to wake me up and keep me awake without coffee so I can save some money.. What to do?

I live in London and our home has recently become infested with cockroaches. Although we had the place treated as soon as we saw one, they have returned. I am told the best thing to use is boric acid. Where can I buy this product in the UK (London)? I need to buy it soon as we have a little baby and I want to get rid of this problem. Thanks.

Any ideas on how to unclog a toilet? I dont have a plunger and don't want to go out and buy one. My friends used it and now the toilet wont flush and the water builds up and it takes 8 hours to go back down.

If I am taping several walls, is it best to use the paper or fiberglass mess tape. I seem to recall that I used this mesh tape in the past, and the walls cracked. Then again, it was a new garage structure. Also, If you ARE using mesh tape, do you have to use a special setting compound mud?

Any opionions on how to best use the mesh tape would be greatly appreciated.

I want to finish part of my basement and need to know what the average width of the floor is. I will need to use a power nailer (the .22 caliber kind) to drive nails into the concrete, and do not know how much room there is to work with. How long do you usually get the nails? How far under the basement floor would the waste line be?

I do not want something that is going to hurt the deer in any way. I just want something that will discourage them from eating my flowers - perhaps something they do not like the smell of.

My parents recently purchased 88 acres of flat, mostly wooded, residential land. It is about an hour away from where I live. It is near a town with about 11,000 people. The land just sits there with nothing on it.

Any suggestions on how I can take advantage or this situation? (Whether it be for fun or business).
