Home & Garden - 18 November 2007

I am wanting to make a compost bin, til I can buy one.
Does my compost bin need a lid?
Can I use a plastic litter box container with a lid as my compost bin?
What do I do with the compost soil in the winter time?
What should I put at the bottom of my compost bin first?

I think thats all for now :)

Yes or No.
If yes, any info, and have you actually seen one,
( in America), and was it nice or was it a total hut?

We are converting our garage into a kitchen extension. It has a single brick wall at present, what gap should we leave between this and the stud wall we are putting up? Building regs will be inspecting it. They did tell me but I have forgotten.

I an unable to post my question, because I am limited to 1000 characters, and Yahoo says that "The more details you provide, the better your results will be." So, I have had to put my comments on a separate webpage, and so I need you all to read about my clog problems at http://home.gwi.net/~rdf/yahoo/2_clogs/ and provide feedback.

Where our driveway lines up against the house, we need to fill it with caulk. However, the depth is approx 4 to 5 inches and I read that the caulk should be no more than 1.5 inches deep.
What should be used to fill the remaining 3.5 inches...

My son got this new indoor basketball hoop that you can mount into the wall. He put it in his room which has carpet flooring. Is there some sort of portable mat that you can put on the carpet to make a basketball bounce?

These days more and more women need to be able to handle the care of a home on their own, because it is so expensive to hire someone for every little thing and because there is often no one else to do it. If there is a man around, he may not know how to do these things or even be interested in learning.
So, do fathers who know how to do these things now teach their daughters?

Is the fascia bracket stronger than gutter spikes which are driven through the gutter and fascia board? Is it easier to put up a gutter with fascia brackets because they can be put up first and the gutter doesn't have to be held in place by 2 people to fasten it? Can fascia brackets support a greater weight of water than the spikes or hidden gutter fasteners which have one big screw that goes into the fascia and supports the lip on the other side?

Last night one toilet would not flush. I looked in the tank and there's no water in there.

I used the other toilet, but then this problem appeared in it, too (no water in tank).

I cannot flush either toilet. I've put a call into a plumber. What could be wrong? If I pour water in the tank, I've heard that the toilet will flush, but what if there's a stoppage? I don't want all that stuff all over my floor!
