Wasps Nest

. £2.50 from your local £1 shop (eh???). Wait for a cool part of the day, give the brick a good blast. Sorted. The foams are OK, but the powder will poison the entry/exit point effectively.

Screwfix Shops ... How to ...

(Exeter & Plymouth) I've mail ordered from them in the past, but what's the best way to get stuff from the shop - are they browse or pick, or a counter service? ie. is it best to walk in with a list of catalogue numbers, or just browse and pick in the shop? Cheers, Gordon

Pleasant Shopping Experience

And I am struggling to remember the last time I was treated so well in any shop, anywhere. Friendly. Helpful. Efficient. The shop is clean, smart, sensibly arranged, well stocked. Good parking. All the staff were ready to help but knew how to keep in the background.

Small internal doors

Might be worth trying a local reclaiming shop. I recently found some very odd shaped/glazed doors for my old house, and was amazed to find them. This fella: http://www.thgoode.co.uk/home_0.htmlhas literally thousands of old doors - but you'd never know from the shop front. Rob

Water hyacinth overwintering

I have them in two 4ftx1ftx1ft aquariums under 2 shop lights (4 total shop lights). I don't know much about gardening. I searched google a lot and didn't see anything about feeding them during the winter. Is there any kind of liquid fertilizer I can buy?

How to fix a perma-squealing B&D 16" corded e-ic hedge trimmer

a grease that might be good to get would be the white grease that they put on dryer bearings. its usually a really good grease to use. any appliance place or auto shop or machine shop should have white grease. good luck. cyaaaaaaaaaaa, sockiescat:).

easy and cheaper way to have something built?

What your asking is for someone to basically do free work. You were being clear, this is the nicest answer I could come up with. Go to your local wood worker shops and supply places, shop your 'free labor' idea, see what reaction you get.

Trends

The toilet is overflowing down at the supermarket again, and they say it's really bad this time, so make sure to bring the heavy-duty s*it-sucker vac from the shop. You might have to empty it first, I don't think Bubba EVER bothers emptying it after he uses it, and he used it 2 weeks ago !'

Small engine (Tecumseh) question

But to me, a free attempt is worth the time invested. I once bought a brand new lawnmower for $20 at a yard sale.
