Do It Yourself (DIY) - July 2006

I have just finished assembling a nice boat-themed sandbox for my daughter, which calls for some 600 pounds of sand. I have been told, however, that using sand will attract neighborhood cats, who will do what they do and fill that sandbox full of germs. What alternatives do I have? What other materials can I use, instead of sand, that won't attract cats?

I don't want to price them to little or too much. So what's a fair deal? And they're not crappy clothes either. Most of them are name brands and really nice. And also tons of cute nice baby clothes.

Hi! I have a large 30 lb mirror I would like to hang on my wall. The problem is the wall I can put it on has studs in the wrong places and all I have to work with is drywall. Is there any special screws made for this. I am sure it is common ?
Thanks!
(Studs are at each end of my wall, and mirror has to go in the middle)

I have a laptop computer that will be turned on 24/7 on the roof of my building (I won't go into the why). Anyone know the best approach to shield this laptop from the elements? (ie, rain and heat). I live in los Angeles so it doesn't rain that much, although I'm concerned the summer heat might cook the laptop.

Any ideas? I'm thinking about putting it in a cooler of some sort, but I'm not sure if there's enough ventilation. I'm also concerned about rain.
