| RE: Green Slime on Surface Of Pond |
|
I had a very bad algae problem with my pond even with a filter running and lots of aeration. I tried a lot of things but the one that worked was an UV filter. It is an ultra violet filter that attaches to my water line that runs into my filter from the pond. Since I've been using it for the last three years I have not had an algae problem at all. Just be very careful not to touch the bulb when you are installing it. It works. It also does not harm by fish. ... View related article. |

| RE: Making a Deep Kitchen Cabinet More Accesible |
|
I know I'm the luckiest woman in the world because my wonderful husband has built me pull out drawers or shelves for all of my lower cabinets. I have bad knees and can't get down or up easily so he made me pull out shelves with a slight edge around three sides and a long handle on the front for a pull out handle. I can pull out the shelves and get to the very back without having to get down on my hands and knees. Everything is easy to see and get at. I know I'm lucky and I know I'm loved. ...

| RE: In Memory of Cujo |
|
Thank you for sharing that. It is a year almost to the day that I had to love my little Buffy girl enough to let her go. I still miss her. She was abused before we got her and I always wondered at her ability to love another human after that but she did love us so much. It showed us everyday the way we should live our lives. Thanks. ...

| RE: Insulating Exterior House Foundation |
|
Insulating the outside might be a problem because of the vapor barrier issue. Banking snow around might be a problem in the spring when it melts. That could be a lot of moisture right at the foundation or could be a problem with the freeze and thaw issue as well. Sorry I can't help. Just pointing out some possible problems to look into. ...

| RE: Cooking With "Jack-o-lantern" Type Pumpkins |
|
I've used my pumpkin as a slow cooker. I cut out the top as you would for a jack o lantern and scooped out the inside seeds etc. I then added all of the ingredients for a chicken stew with only a little tiny bit of broth. I then cooked it in a 350 oven for about five hours. I served the stew along with some of the cooked flesh right from the pumpkin at the table. It was very tasty but also had the added benefit of using and eating the pumpkin. It is important to only add a tiny bit of liquid because the pumpkin adds a lot as it cooks. ...

| RE: Having a Large Wedding on a Budget |
I don't know if you know this or not but tea lights float. You don't need to buy fancy floating candles. You can also get 10 hour votive candles. My daughter used these at her wedding. They last all night.

We've made these by putting a few layers of newspaper into a milk bag. (the kind you get three smaller bags of milk in) We just tape shut and it works beautifully. Keeps the dampness out. ... View related article. |

| RE: Sponge Walls for a Dramatic Effect When Painting |

This is what I did in my living room. I used a plastic grocery bag and just dipped it into a aluminum plate with my paint in it and then just dabbed it on my walls. I used a clay coloured paint over a soft pink to achieve this effect. ... View related article. |

| RE: Switch To Dollar Stores For Shopping |
|
Just be aware that a lot of the products in these types of stores come from China and their requirements are not the same as ours and you may be getting something that you are not aware of. There have been a lot of recalls because of lead content. What you may think of as a brand name that you know could very well be a knock off. I do shop in these stores but I try to stay away from anything that you ingest or comes into contact with food such as plates etc. My friend also mentioned that she does not use things that could be absorbed through the skin. Just be aware. ... View related article. |
