Light a clean linen scented candle in the laundry room, and they will imagine themselves washing a load of clothes. Be imaginative and creative. Your home will sell in a hurry!

House cleaning and decorating the legendary Christmas tree are just a few of the most anticipated family activities for the Holidays. Before everyone spruce up for merry-making, it is recommended that you consider not only beauty but also harmony and balance.

Clean up for a clutter-free Christmas. Brighten up your overall color scheme. Decorations should not be overly done. Ovals and rounded objects imply good luck. Finally, for a good feel reminisce the good times for the past few months and learn from any mistake done during the year. Don’t forget to preserve memorable events involving the entire family through a family portrait painting. This Christmas the whole house should create a calming influence.

My husband and I had to replace our existing roof. We were debating on which roofing materials to use. We wanted something that would be both durable and affordable. We chose Owens Corning Roofing. Roofs are expensive to replace. Owens Corning offers a limited lifetime warranty. If anything should happen to our roof, it will be covered under warranty and replaced at no expense to us.

If you’re looking for a good fan, I put in a Hunter Douglas and the installation was flawless.  Plus, their mounting system involves a large plate at the ceiling with rubber cylinders that help to eliminate vibrations and it also allows for height adjustment so you can get it closer to the ceiling.  Most important, the fan attaches to the bracket in an even pattern, therefore no wobble.

You can NOT bend the showerhead ell it while it’s still in the wall - big trouble.  The shower ell is threaded 1/2″ NPT on both ends, and there is a “drop ear ell” with matching threads in the wall if it’s copper pipe. Galvanized pipe will have an elbow in the wall going down to the shower valve, but it might not be secured to anything than the riser pipe.
  And consider the nice chrome plating on the pipe will get messed up badly if you try bending it.  Even padding the bender jaws might not be enough.
  They sell several factory made variations on the shower ell that have two adjustable swivels, and ones with a big shepherd’s hook bend in them to gain altitude and clear the heads of tall people.  Find one that will work for you, get one.
  If you’re totally stumped, you can get chromed brass pipe nipples, chromed brass threaded elbows and fittings, and roll your own.
  Clean out the threads in the wall elbow with a wire brush, put teflon tape on the arm threads before installing it, and count the turns to make sure it’s in there securely, at least 8 turns - you do NOT want a water leak inside the wall.

Absolutely!!!!! Did you ever try doing light assy. with brads & a hammer? Spend more time trying to keep everything in place than anything else! That’s what sold me on the air tools nailers after watching (you guessed it; Norm)it done with an air brad nailer. I have a Craftsman oilless 18ga. that does 3/8″ to 1 1/4″, a PC angle finish that does 1 1/2″ to 2 1/2″, plus a Craftsman cliphead framer. I’m very happy with all, but probably use the brad most, as I’m into a lot of light craft stuff.

I’m in a bind and I’m not sure what to do. My computer crashed last week and everything was lost.

Luckily for me, a lot of my documents were backed up. I’m frustrated though because I did not back up my iTunes music, videos and photos.

I know I must have had thousands of dollars invested in my iTunes library.

Positively, most of my files are on my iPod which is working. The challenge though is how to transfer them to my new iTunes. You may or may not know that iTunes will not sync to an iPod.

Now I’m looking for a good ipod to computer transfer software.

I’m redoing the the front lawn. Would like to add limited low voltage lighting beside the walkways. What brands do you suggest? What brands do you NOT suggest? Have you installed it yourself? What would you do differently? What should I watch out for during design or installation?

With regard to La Crosse weather stations, I purchased the WS2300.  One major difference is the wind gauge.  The WS2500 looks to have a much more sturdy and reliable gauge.   I’m disappointed with the readings from the WS2300.  I haven’t got a great location - mounted about 4 ft above my garden shed roof but sheltered by the house - but the maximum reading I’ve seen in the 3 months I’ve had it is 17mph.  I just don’t think the tiny propellor thingy (technical term) can spin fast enough.  The WS2500 unit looks larger in real life and I’d guess would probably be more accurate.
