I have a 55 Gal barrel with a removable top. I planed on building a stand so the barrel can rotate 360 deg. but that's as far as I know what to do. Could you guys suggest what if anything else I need to do using my yard clippings collected while mowing to make compost for the garden?

I have been putting some numbers together, and have found that buying groceries just leads to multiple negative things.
I end up spending more money per month when I actually buy groceries. I end up spending more time working to get the money to buy the groceries. Use more space in the frig when i place food in there, which also leads to using more electricity to run the frig. Use more toilet supplies, more gasoline to go and get the food, and usually have to spend valuable time actually preparing the food. I have found I accumulate less trash when i dont purchase food...the list just goes on and on.
Is anyone else experiencing the same negative effects from buying groceries..?
I am now officially purposing an all out GROCERY STRIKE!...Everyone with me?
The national slogan will be something like "Stop the Groceries, Stop the Crap".

We have what I guess you'd call a double-wide garage door (2 car garage, 1 door) and have been thinking about having an opener installed. In the middle of the garage, and consequently, in the middle of the door, we have a floor to ceiling support beam. It is approximately 8 inches from the spring for the door at the ceiling. Is it still possible to have an opener installed? I was doing some research and read that the opener should be position in the middle of the door.

Thanks for any advice!

If so, how badly? Just one size?

It's a cotton t-shirt I've washed and dried many times. I need it for tomorrow morning (4 am) but my dryer is broken and I don't have time to go to a laundromat.

I'm washing it in warm and rinsing it in cold, if that makes a difference.

Would I be better off hang drying it and hoping for the best?

but the leveller is sitting in my master bedroom like a 12 by 8 foot pancake. If you put your fingers under the edge you can lift sheets of it up at a time. Our master bedroom floor was not level properly when we bought our new home July 2007. What is our options please?

I have rust forming at the bottom of the sink around the drain. I've used CRL and bleach and even scraped it away. but it keeps reforming. I can't afford to get a new sink and I'll ruin it if I pry the metal drain out because I'm sure the rust is forming under it. What can I do?

I have a GFCI outlet that tripped. i don't know how to reset it. it does not have a reset button and i've tested several other GFCI outlets that don't work either. All the outlets are either outside or in the garage and none have reset buttons. my bathrooms appear to be on a separate circuit and all have test and reset buttons. these bathroom outlets are working. how do i reset my exterior GFCI outlets? Thanks,
