Why does every question get an answer that says to ask the guy at Home Depot or Lowe's (if you can find one of them)? Those people don't know theirass from a hole in the ground.

If those guys knew anything, they wouldn't be working at Home Depot for eight bucks an hour, now would they?

I rent, so it has to be wireless. I just don't see the point in paying hundreds of dollars to install this unit and over $30/mo for monitoring when I could perhaps buy something at a store or online that does it by just paying a one-time, lesser fee.

Yet, I find no such product anywhere...why?

I grew-up in a family of women , so I'm fairly inept with DIY stuff. But I feel it's important I do the sanding and staining of a piece of furniture I got. I'm looking at the pieces of wood, and I really don't understand what is 'with the grain' and what is 'against the grain'. I have the variable grades of sanding paper, and I know that the sanding/stain is applied 'with the grain', but I need someone to explain to me what that is....2nd grade style. A site that pictures real wood with illustrations is a plus as well...preferred really.

Ways I know I'm doing it wrong would be nice as well.

It just looks like a bunch of lines to me...

My husband wants to build a tree house for our daughter. Know of any good sites for free plans and or pictures? Also, can this type of thing be built without nailing/screwing into the tree itself? We really don't want to kill the tree....

Recently, my girlfriend's husband said I should put oak varnish on the floors since the wood is looking bare in some spots. I live in an apartment and don't want to do something to ruin the floors.

Ok I am working on a project and need your help please. I have these flat back crystals that I need to put on a shirt...I'd like to glue them to the shirt, but I want to make sure they will stick on there for a long time. I know nothing is permanent...eventually they will fall off. But I'd like for the crystals to at least stay on for a while.

Is there a firm and tough glue that, in your opinion...has worked wonderful for you? Again it has to be something strong for fabric.

the bed will be planted with Calif. natives and Mediterranean plants;I visualize two streams converging into a dry"pond. The streams will be approximately 20-to-30 ft. long and the pond area is roughly 10' in diameter. Existing tree roots will impede digging very deeply.
