Home & Garden - 12 November 2007

I have 115v line buried in conduit to my shed from the house. The wire guage is #12. I need 220v, can I use the 12 gauge wire or do I need to pull in a 10 gauge or larger. My shed is about 90ft from the house.

It might seem like there is an obvious answer but each year I have the same problem. I have an aluminium framed greenhouse and each year, I affix the bubblewrap between the glass and the frame area and add some tape but as the winter months pass and with usage, the bubblewrap eventually falls out of the frame. So any ideas of a better way to fix the bubblewrap. Thanks.

When installing grasscoth wallpaper how do you do the corners. Can the wallpaper bend? Or do you just put a seam in the corner? Do you overlap edges at all in case of any shrinkage?

Hall and stairwell are going to be painted a warm light yellow, eg. Banana. Should the doors and trim be painted a lighter yellow, a darker yellow, or has white trim returned to prominence? Or should I be considering something different all together?

I'm using a tinted primer (50% of the actual color) to paint our master bedroom, but the ceiling and trim will be white. Should I prime everything first, and then paint? Or should I prime AND paint the ceiling and trim, before I prime the walls?

My kitchen is in need of a makeover. I have the old plain yellow looking pine cabinets and want to make them look like cherry. how do i go about stripping off the old varnish and poly and putting on a new darker stain? or would i be better off and replacing all of them with new? take in mind that this kitchen was built back in the 40's and has never been updated. i hate it so much.

Brand new satin sheet set. Label says machine washable. Put them in the wash with nothing but fabric softener to get rid of the static and dried them in low heat. They came out with some dark markings.
Same thing happened to my last satin sheet set. I used to think it was the detergent, but I didn't use any this time. And this was the first time I used fabric softener with sheets too so fabric softener wasn't the culprit in my last set. What's going on?

I need a quick to germinate monocot plant, is possible. I don't want to use grass, because you typically plant grass in patches and I'm testing these plants individually. Does anyone have any ideas?
