I keep my Tools in the garage where there is no heat except when Im there useing them.
Which isn't often anymore like I did when a few years back.

They are in a large Craftmans Roll away Tool Box.

The problem is that they seem to get rusty from just sitting there from the cold frost to the warmer days.

I have tried putting a lite coating of oil on them with no results.

Any ideas to help keep them from rusting would be greatful.
Thanks..

My mobile home has developed a few drain issues. First, when my washing machine drains, the kitchen sink gurgles (separate rooms). This isn't such a big deal, just annoying.

Second, and this is a more recent problem, my second bathroom toilet acts as if it is stopped up. When I use the plunger on it, it forces everything back up the sink drain. Is this a major blockage, or some other issue?

I have around 5 or 6 notepads, all differnt sizes & different colors/animals/saying. I truthfully need them all. Some have horses & some say Best Friends & some just have cool designs. I need them for taking notes (I am homeschooled), repleying to snail-mail & I volunteer at a retirement community & that is how I normally get back with the cordinater of volunteers.
What is a way to keep them all organized? Is there a way to make them still on my desk with out looking overly crowded?

I have never had a dishwasher here before. There are some water lines under the counter were one would go and the cabinet would need to b removed. How does this need to be done and about how much can I expect to pay to have one installed?

We are moving house and need lots of boxes. We have looked around and been shocked at the price of them (around £2 each) we will need about 100. We dont mind if they have been used aslong as they are usable and reasonably priced.

Hi. I am SO afraid of spiders. Like even the really REALLY tiny harmless ones. Im staying at my sisters house for a few days in her room on an air matress. (in the basement) Her friend in the room across the hall found a black widow spider in her closet a few days ago! I am so scared! Can somebody tell me how to make sure none come in here? And if there already is one, how can i kill them without harming the new kitten? + How poisonus are they, and if I do get bitten, what should I do? (im 14) Will they often come out of hiding? 'Im really paranoid. In my house i have to check every bit of my ceiling before I go to sleep. Please help me!

But there is no way of doing it at the house
There is a manhole outside and my dad seems to remember having to do it b4 and hired someone to do it
Will it be safe for him to do it himself? And is there a special way to get the covers off?
