| RE: Water Feature - Old Pump And Washtub as Frosty's Drinking Fountain |
Ingenius use of pump & tub - looks great & I love the photos of Frosty - thank you for them
I agree about furry beasties knowing when we need them - like you I had been very down (long term depression) three years ago, then one wild rainy night I was walking home through my village & saw a big black dog & put my hand down to it saying "hello pup"...he bit me v hard & refused to let go so I dragged him (by MY hand) up the path, inside & fed him..he has been with me ever since - my pup (now about 4 yrs old) has helped my depression no end !!
Frosty looks like a very loving pal & sound like has a very loving & talented owner ... View related article. |

| RE: Homemade Wood Pellets |
Greenshop online : Household : Log Makers
The info below can be found on Greenshop (or google paper fire log maker) Also found some for sale on e bay - these clever beasties turn soaked paper etc into logs / bricks to burn - can use sawdust, coffee grounds etc. Not cheap @ £29 (UK)
but will pay for itself - Ive got one on my wishlist !!
Try joining your local "freecycle" site & asking other members if they have one they no longer want (site worth joining anyway)
Meanwhile if anyone can advise how to squeeze soggy paper into "logs" a cheaper way I would also love to hear it - hope the info below is useful;

Cheers , now I know not to. Much appreciated ... View related article. |

| RE: Removing a Splinter |
|
Try a slice of garlic on splinter held on with surgical tape or a plaster - leave on overnight & keep re applying. Havent tried yet but Im told garlic is an anti septic & is good for drawing "poison" from a wound - it should draw the splinter out along with the yeukky stuff when it swells up...and if it dosent work at least you wont have any bother with vampires !! ...
