Home & Garden - 19 December 2007

So some kids broke into my house this weekend and spraypainted several walls in the house. They also spraypainted the refrigerator. We are hoping to salvage it by cleaning the spray paint off. (They didn't use appliance paint on it). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Insurance, of course, is not covering any of the damage.

the tree was full bloom and once i watered it the green leaves curled up and mostly all of them dried out and fell off. Most of the red flowers are alive.

Ok, I'm 21 and I've done some painting but I've never done a whole room that the bottom half was light blue and the top was orange and yellow smeared all in the time the person would be at work!! He moved in and the ppl before him obviously thought they were Picaso or something! Anyway I have very little money but wanted to do something big for him and I want to paint his room as a surprise. I have about 10 hours to get it all done (it doesnt have to be dry by then) The top that is orange and yellow is really bright.. do i prime? Also my dad is into naturaul, earthy colors. He also loves hunting and greens. I was thinking a dark tan or a kind of kahki green. And thoughts? Also how many coats? And do I really have to buy the expensive paint because I was going to get the medium price one. ANY advice, on anything and any tips would all be helpful. How do to it faster, cleaner, and a great color would be great. And then I thought about 2 or 3 colors. LOL, please assist me!! God Bless!

The freezer was recently loaded with additional items since my sister and her husband moved in with me. Prior to this, the freezer was practically empty. Now, left exterior side of the unit is extremely warm if not hot to the touch. Does this mean the compressor is about to go, or is it just adjusting to the additional items which are now stored inside?

The bathroom is very small. I'm going to paint the walls this week and I'm thinking about painting the cabinets the same color to help make the room look bigger and more cohesive, since the toilet is white and the shower tile and sink are a taupe/pink color. I'll probably paint the walls a warm off-white/beige. I'm going to use maroon towels (from my old master bath) in there. Will that look good?

I need to mount a toy for my horse in his stall, but I don't want to drill holes in his shelter because it's not my shelter and he moves around from paddock to paddock. Will epoxy putty be strong enough to hold it up? Can I remove epoxy putty from wood if I need to?

In the health section of grocery stores there is a large selection of hempseed suppliments, hemp waffles, and everything like that. There are bracelets and necklaces made from hemp.

How is all of this produced if hemp comes from the marijuana plant, which is illegal to grow, sell or own? Are there special hemp plants that lack the hallucinagenic ingredient found in regular marijuana, or is there just permits to grow it and highly regulated security protocol where you need huge fences and the FBI comes to check on you on a weekly basis?

OK I have 3 long sleeve T-shirts and I plan on doing a t-shirt transfer on them, I just need to know what to put on.
2 are for my brothers, John and Dave and one is for my sisters husband, Andrew.

John is a soldier in the National Guard and he is going to be deployed soon. He loves country music, Adam Sandler movies and climbing mountains.

David has 3 sons, is married to a wonderful woman and owns his own successful business building houses. He likes Raidohead, no clue what movie he likes, and photography.

Andrew, one son and of course is married to my wonderful sister. He is a former Marine and he works in construction, he is currently going to collage.
No clue No clue No clue

So any clever things you can think of would be great.
I was thinking of some joke between the marines and army or maybe something that is just sweet like " 2007: serving our country with pride" and then the next one would be "fathering 3 boys and being a wonderful husband"
I don''t know
Any Ideas?

I was cooking pulled pork in the crock pot in coca cola. It spilled over and into the metal part that actually heats the bowl that holds the food. It is now all burned on the metal part...how can I get it clean...the crock pot is my mother in laws and she will kill me if I give it back to her that way!!!

I received a big plush (very soft) animal thing for my son and want to wash it first (don't know who had it before), but I want to keep it's softness if possible. Last time I put an animal in the washer I had it in pillowcase and it still was rough after. Any ideas on how to wash this thoroughly and preserve it's softness?

okay my entire basement has wood paneling. Unfortunately my room is in the basement. I am sick of looking at these walls. They don't match the rest of my pink theme.

I want to paint the walls, but I don't want it to be a big deal. And I don't want it to be too hard either.

My question is...

1. is it possible?
2. Is it more difficult than just painting regular walls?
3. Would you recommend it?
4. Would I have to remove the panels before doing the job?
