    Can Kilz primer be used underneath the padding when putting down a new carpet?

    Yes! Good carpet guy. You need an encapsulating paint......Kilz is one brand. If you have a beautiful hardwood floor underneath, even sanding wouldn't take out the stink, the actual boards would have to be replaced......and you sure would't want to paint over nice hardwood. But if your floor...

    What is the difference between potting soil, top soil, and garden soil?

    oh yeah, they are different! Potting soil is man created and varies by company. It is usually a mix of peat moss, inorganic material such as perlite or vermiculte and compos and perhaps sand.....depending on brand. Slow release fertilizer may also be added. Potting soils may have been heat...

    are mold foggers a good idea for removing mold in a crawl space environment?

    This would be one tool, you'll need to eliminate why the mold is forming...do you have plastic down, not good. Do you need to add ventilation to the crawl space? I suspect Moldstat is along the same line as Concrobium : http://www.concrobium.com/?CFID=6705994&CFTOKEN=18321279 So yes, this is...

    How do you paint a table with caning?

    You are right to be concerned. One product I might test with is soy-stripper. It doesn't have all those harsh chemicals usually found in paint strippers. http://www.realmilkpaint.com/soygel.html

    My garden used to be a marshland?

    The reeds, etc are great and especially, so is the oxygen you incorporate with digging. The stink is anaerobic decomp smell.....decomp without oxygen. The oxygen you are adding will change the decomp to aerobic which doesn't smell. Is the threat from moisture over?? Or will more moisture...

    How much compost do I need to cover a 175 square foot garden 4 inches deep?

    multiply 175 times 1/3 (4" is 1/3 of 12) = 57.75 cubic feet. Divide that by 27 (27 cubic feet in a cubic yard 3x3x3) = 2.14 cubic yards compost.

    Walking through my garden, every now and again I find what looks like a sultana on...

    Could be. Is it squishy when you break or cut it open? Either egg or larvae....pupae if hard outside, soft inside. If hard all the way through, think more like seeds.

    how do you get rid of a very well established hedge from your garden?

    Wow! It would depend on the size, density and whether there are thorns......and of course, the root mass underground. In addition to the time required, there's also the time spent loading and hauling away and dumping the trash...there will be a lot. I have a hedge 2x that and I suspect 4...

    How would I sent my garden cut flowers overnight shipping to a friend ? and :?

    Most flowers are shipped dry pack from growers all over the world. The secret is speed and coolness. I'd be afraid to ship in excessive heat since the shipper doesn't have a multi-million dollar shipping contract with you so has no qualms about leaving the box in a hot environment.....what I'm...

    Do they paint colors sound silly?

    No, I'd paint the trim plum too. Painting the trim white would chop up an already tiny room........we did that in the 70's, let's not repeat that. It will be a very different feel, almost cave like, especially if this room receives little direct sunlight. The less light, the darker the plum...

    Ex-coworker ranting about me on here, what should/can I do about it?

    As one who was maligned on the Web (first and last name), I'd say forget it. She is part of your past, leave her there. Move on, mature, and "inhabit" other groups. Do good to yourself and others, let your actions be your defining character, not lies or mistruths from someone else. Your...

    What is causing oily stains on clothing?

    I'd be looking at the water quality. Excessive minerals in the water can be playing a chemical game on the clothes with the detergents. You may need to have the water tested for minerals and other misc items. Also I'd be checking how I was diluting the washing liquid before adding clothes...

    How do I cope with my fiance in jail?

    Look at what you wrote......baby he could be gone for up to 3 years! If he can't be trusted to live by the laws what makes you think he's a good catch? He was given parole.....and honor system........and he broke it. And he probably will continue breaking it once he gets out. Not only will...

    How the heck do you get rid of the burnt orders left from over cooking popcorn/food in..

    Naw, it comes out. Take a big glass measuring cup, add water and "smell goods" like cinnamon, orange peel, cloves and boil in the microwave for several minutes. You want the micro to be rather wet from the steam. Wipe out carefully...you don't want mold growing in there now. Normally one...
