I dunno, I'm not all into games, but I was kinda looking for one which allows you to "create" a house, or a garden or something and decorate it (choose paints, furniture and what).
Haha, sounds like the Sims already.
But any other recommendations?
Any game that fits the bill will do.
Do you know any games that involve interior decorating?
Yeah, you kind of already said it. Sims 2 is pretty much exactly what your looking for. It gives you more customization than any other game out there (unless you count real interior design programs lol).
Hope I helped=]
Reply:it is more simple than sims but animal crossing.
design your own wallpaper, carpet. lots of item collecting.
i prefer animal crossing ds
Reply:not tht i know of. I was looking for a website like tht too.

How can we stop our cat from constantly marking his territory inside the house?
He sprays on bags left near ground level, furniture, the floor (we have polished boards), washing and ironing hanging on the back of chairs, in doorways, on coat stand, even on me!
We have tried shouting, “time out”, giving more attention generally (not at time of offending behaviour), medication (Endep), pheromone sprays, ammonia, citronella, but nothing seems to be discouraging him. He has two litter boxes which are cleaned regularly and a cat flap to the garden open all day!
He is a large and otherwise healthy 4-and-a-half year old neutered male “moggie”, who lives an indoor-outdoor lifestyle, is generally affectionate, very compliant with medication etc. We also have a 3 year old neutered female cat who is perfectly behaved (they get on quite well together). He has been an “inappropriate urinator” from time-to-time over the past 4 years, but the territorial marking just seems to have got far worse over the past month.
We’re at our wits’ end! Any suggestions?

Oh... poor family ... and poor kitty. Well. Here is my best guess. There is a cat outside that your kitty feels threatened by. (The same thing happened with my cat)...
First...hire a professional to come and clean your furniture and carpets...one who specializes in pet odors.
Then... keep kitty indoors and away from the "threatening" cat.
In our case it was a feral cat outdoors. I bought a trap. Caught it and brought it to a no kill shelter. I kept my cat indoors all fall... all winter and in the spring let it out again.
...and in this case it was problem solved.
However... in any case my guess is that your cat feels threatened and needs to say to all involved "This is mine!"
Good luck! I know it's a tuff problem and wears on your nerves! Best to you and kitty!
Reply:It sounds like there is another male in the house threatening his territory. Otherwise, this could also be a reaction to another environmental stressor such as anger that your schedule keeps you away longer hours, or that you have changed the way you treat him. Remember that marking is instinctive, and requires a trigger. Once you identify the trigger, you can adapt the environment so that it is no longer tirggered.
On a side note, SHOUTING, and time out might work on humans, but this is not a baby, it is an ANIMAL. You need to communicate with it and react to it in a manner it can understand. And Cats have never taken to obedience training as well as dogs.
Reply:You can get produscts from pet supply shops to deter them. But otherwise, i'm not sure.
Good Luck
Reply:I had a dog like that. And the vet put him on some kind of medication for a couple months to curb the instinct and it worked. He didn't do it after that. So I would imagine they have something similar for cats? There are some natural things, like orange juice scents, etc, which I'm sure would come up if you google it. Something is making him insecure is all I can think of. What does the vet attribute it to? Good luck dear.
ps. Now that I've had a chance to read the answers, I think Chrissy's right; that may very well be the source of what is causing the insecurity and the constant marking.

Reply:Male cats SPRAY. if there neautred before the age of 6months, they shouldn't spray, if there neautred over 6month he will still spray.
Female can spray, but is not likely.when there desexed it been spayed!
I never had a female cat that sprays!

Reply:Territory marking is often a cry for help when a cat is feeling insecure. It's a way of signalling to others "keep out" or "I have a right to be here".
Try to think back over the past month or so, to any event that your cat may have found stressful. This could be an unpleasant encounter outside with another cat, or it could be something less obvious like decorating or new furniture within the home. Cats are creatures of habit, and changes that seem insignificant to us, can be a huge deal to them. If you can establish the cause of his anxiety and then remove or alleviate it, you are halfway to solving the problem.
The web article below offers more advice on why cats begin spraying and how to treat the problem.
http://www.celiahaddon.co.uk/pet%20probl...
You also need to thoroughly clean any areas where he has sprayed or urinated to help break the habit. As long as he can detect his own scent there, he will be attracted to "top-up" every time the smell begins to fade. Cat urine contains ammonia, so avoid products containing it. (To him it will just smell like another cat has marked there, causing him to over-mark it with his own scent.) The web article below has lot of cleaning advice that should help.

Reply:get a spray called kitty of spray at petsmart or petco
Reply:I had a female do that and I cleaned it up with vinger and lemon juice and I haven't had a problem since.
Reply:It's a very VERY stubborn cat. He also sounds like her hasn't been neutered. They will calm down and be less territorial if they are neuterted. It doesn't cost much. I only charge $40.
If this continues, you can give him (not too hard) a nice, uncomfortable swat on the BEHIND. Lol.

Im looking to do up my garden, i live in the uk, scotland, glasgow! where is the cheapest place for garden furniture and slabs etc! thanx

hi
have you tried freecycle.org
you have to choose a group to join in your surrounding area, then browse people are often recycling lots of items all you have to do is arrange pick up.
its cool and its free and green!!!!
Yippee
Reply:Try the garden factory online. JW Grants in maryhill is the cheapest i know for slabs and gravel but that might well be because i am a landscaper and get trade prices but you could try, Failing that your local B%26amp;Q may be cheaper as they buy in bulk and sell stuff of cheap in the winter to make way for the christmas stock.
Reply:Argos %26amp;Woolworths have some good offers on line for garden furniture.
Reply:The cheapest place in Glasgow is probably B%26amp;Q, the Darnley store has the best selection of materials, it would be worth trying Travis perkins as well they have been known to be quite cheap, they are always trying to compete with B%26amp;Q.
Good luck.

The increase in marking was probably caused by another cat moving into "his" territory, or some other change in your neighborhood or household.
Unfortunately, marking becomes an unbreakable habit with some cats.
Things to try:
Confine him. Get a large dog pen (like for Great Danes) and make that his "home". Put the litter box, dishes and bed in there, and only let him out when you can watch him closely.
When you let him out, use noise to deter him from spraying. Every time he goes to
"line up his shot", scare the ever loving crap out of him. Use an air horn, a "penny can", and/or a squirt bottle.
Use an "Invisible Fence" to keep him in the yard, get him a dog house, and make him an "outdoor" cat.
Good luck.

How can I dispose of old cutlery safely?
I have recently been completely refurbishing my home. I have managed to sell old furniture and carpets etc in newspapers and online, and most other things have gone for re-cycling. Now; the kitchen! All of my old crockery, casserole dishes etc, I have smashed into small pieces, ready to use as drainage in plantpots in the garden....so, most of the stuff has been disposed of in an eco-friendly way. My problem now is, how do I dispose of old cutlery, particularly things like carving knives, bread knives etc safely?
How can I dispose of old cutlery safely?
Hi, you sound really busy and good on you for not just dumping it. Charity shops will be more than happy to take them or a scrap metal dealer, art college, I've seem some amazing mobiles made from twisted and bent cutlery
Reply:I can understand not wanting carving knives etc to end up in the wrong hands, but the fact is that these are widely available, and anyone intent on getting their hands on one for the wrong reasons can walk into almost any shop and buy what is needed.
That said. almost everyone will use them responsibly. I would concurr with what has been said above, or car boot sales etc.
Reply:Take it to your local charity shop, they would be glad to have it.
Reply:How about putting it on your local Freecycle group? Someone out there might be able to get a few more years use out of them!
Reply:I donate to groups like Goodwill, Recycling Matters, Canadian Diabetes, Ontario Federation for Cerebral Palsy. They sell the items themselves or to thrift shops. You must have organizations in your area which can benefit, too.

How was Roman housing similar to our home today and how did it differ?
The lower class Romans (plebeians) lived in apartment houses, called flats, above or behind their shops. Even tradesmen might have chosen to live in an apartment-building compound over their store, with maybe renters on the upper stories. Their own apartments might be quite roomy, sanitary and pleasant, occasionally with running water. But others were not that nice.
In the flats an entire family (grandparents, parents, children) might all be crowded into one room, without running water. They had to haul their water in from public facilities. Fire was a very real threat because people were cooking meals in crowded quarters, and many of the flats were made of wood. They didn't have toilets in the flat so they had to use public ones.
The upper class Romans (patricians) lived in single family homes, which in Ancient Rome meant the great grandparents, grandparents, parents, and kids of one family lived in a home together. Homes were made, quite often, of brick with red tile roofs, with rooms arranged around a central courtyard.
The windows and balconies faced the courtyard, not the street, to keep homes safe from burglars. There were paintings on the walls and beautiful mosaics on the floor. There was very little furniture, and no carpeting. Wealthy Romans might have a house with a front door, bedrooms, an office, a kitchen, a dining room, a garden, a temple, an atrium, a toilet, and a private bath.

Roman housing was similar to our houses today because they had a kitchen, bedrooms, a front door, an office, and a dining room. However, nowadays most people have carpeting in their homes and don’t have mosaics on the floor. Nearly all of us probably have more furniture in our homes than the Ancient Romans. Also, almost all homes now have running water and a toilet, while in Rome, only the wealthy Romans did. Another major difference is that now all homes have advanced technology (computer, television) and in Ancient Rome that was unheard of.

Does a man have a right to keep a goat?
i rent a house to a man, and his goat has been chewing the furniture (mine) and also destroying the lawn and garden. he keeps it in the kitchen pantry, and that's now a mess. i know a man has a right to keep a goat, if he wants to keep a goat, but isn't this just goin' too dang far?

Reply:If he lives in a city than I dont think he can have a goat. Since you rent the house to the man you could tell him to rid of his goat or you kick him out.
Reply:You're the landlord? I think you should tighten the rules on having pets in the space he is renting. Let him know that there will be fines for any damages the animal makes so that you can replace and fix the place up after he leaves.
Reply:You would have to check with your city and /or town regulations. Some do not allow people to keep what is considered farm animals as pets. Also sometimes they require that the animal has certain living requirements such as a large yard or a pen, not an indoor pantry. You could also try checking with your local animal control officer.
Reply:I doubt that you can do a lot about it except evict him.
If you did not stipulate NO PETS or pets by approval you are not entitled to dictate that he cannot keep the goat.
Take pictures of the damage and take out a writ for damages done by this animal. There is also a health issue you can pursue
Reply:U cud always charge extra rent for the goat!
Reply:run him and his hairy friend off
Reply:Well, If he is married another hard headed stinking *** around shouldn't matter.
Reply:In a large or even just a big city, I doubt it would be legal to keep a goat.
Do you have a pets / no pets policy for your rental property? I mean there are some apartment and even house rental property advertised out here in rural N.E. Texas that plainly state in the ad "No Pets!"
Even if you do allow pets you should still be able to charge him for damage to your property. That or just tell him he won't be getting his deposit back.
Reply:I think he's got your goat. Contact the city about the farm animal and start eviction proceedings. Also small clames court to recover damages.
Reply:I'm a lawyer and just tried a case identical to this. There is absolutely nothing whatsoever you can do about it. The judge said unless the goat is dangerous or harmful to the owner, he has a right to keep the goat anywhere on the premises. It's a dang shame I say.

tell him to loose the goat
Reply:he has right to keep goat until he can prevent it from destroying.

What is the best website to help choose the right dog for me?
Ive tried a couple, but want to know what people think the best one is.
It is for my 10 year old son, my wife who likes going out running and me who is a bit of a couch potato.
We like to go away a bit, and have a detatched house with a 30 metre square garden, in a small town.
I work quite long hours, and my wife starts university in september so the dog would be in at home during school hours most days.
It is my son who is mad keen. He's an only child and would like the company. I'm not a huge fan of dogs - largely because I dont want a smelly house, or hairs on the furniture (I prefer cats, but my son's best friend comes around a lot and he's alergic to cats!). Want something affectionate, not agressive and not too small.

Before you get a dog you need to open your heart to it. It is at the least a 10 year commitment, and hopefully for you and your family, much longer. Sit down and talk with your family. Make sure this is a commitment you are all ready to make.
From the way you write, I would guess you are in the UK or Canada. Why not a Cavalier King Charles? They are very devoted and quiet animals when you only have one. Get a bunch of them and they are just spaniels. They are considered a toy breed, but they are more moderate in size.
Whatever your decision, make sure that you research your selected breed well. They all have health problems, but you can minimize your risk of getting a dog that is affected.
Email me if you chose a toy breed if you like. I would be glad to help you look for a quality animal (no petshop please!)
I work with the Cavalier, Shih tzu, Japanese Chin, Chihuahua, and also have a French Bulldog of my own. I would recomend a Frenchie to anyone other than they have terrible health issues. I love him so much and he is so cool, great with everyone (clown) especially kids, but I won't have him nearly long enough.
Best wishes.

Reply:Well, dogs don't "smell" any worse than a cat. Dogs don't shed any worse than a cat. As long as YOU are working to keep your home clean, vacuuming the furniture, ETC, you won't have a problem.
Since the dog will be left alone all-day, I definitely don't suggest any Herding breed (Border Collie, German Shepherd, Australian Shepherd, ETC) as they become bored and destructive, because they were bred to do a job.
Since you have said not too small, let's rule out anything from the Toy Group.
How do you feel about Terriers and giant breeds? How do you feel about grooming?

However, you should consider if you really really want a dog, and I'm referring to the whole family, not only your son because at 10 years old kids change interests and priorities frequently and you and your wife may end up being the responsibles of the dog after your son's fad for the new puppy has fade. A high percent of animals abandoned in shelter were adquired by families just to give their children another gift. A dog is made of flesh and bones, it's not a toy.
Reply:You sound as if you do not really want a dog in the house and that you do not have much time for one. At 10, your son cannot take care of a dog on his own and, like all kids, probably has a short attention span and may soon move onto something else.
Perhaps you can try being a foster home for a local shelter or rescue group. That would give you experience with a number of different dogs and breeds before you settle on a dog of your own.
As for cats, some people are only mildly allergic and will do fine in a house with cats as long as there is a room (say, your son's) that is cat-free. Some are fine as long as they do not touch the cat.
With your schedules, perhaps a cat would be an easier choice.
Reply:If you don't like the smell, get an outdoor dog. If its mainly for your son then you'll want a friendly dog. Golden retrevers seem to be good with kids.
Reply:I think you don't want a dog - wait until you do.
Reply:I wouldn't suggest checking a website to find the right dog, because they tend to be biased towards the dogs that they want to sell. I would say to go to an adoption center at a Petsmart or Petco, or to a kennel, and take a look at some of the dogs. When you see what kind you like, find out what breed it is and then do some research about it online.
For your son I would suggest a Beagal(Spud McKinsey, Wishbone), they are not to small and not to big, high on energy and very loyal and commpasionate. Also he might like the Boston Terrier, for the same reasons listed for the Beagal.
running shoes
It is for my 10 year old son, my wife who likes going out running and me who is a bit of a couch potato.
We like to go away a bit, and have a detatched house with a 30 metre square garden, in a small town.
I work quite long hours, and my wife starts university in september so the dog would be in at home during school hours most days.
It is my son who is mad keen. He's an only child and would like the company. I'm not a huge fan of dogs - largely because I dont want a smelly house, or hairs on the furniture (I prefer cats, but my son's best friend comes around a lot and he's alergic to cats!). Want something affectionate, not agressive and not too small.

Stopping a cat scratching furniture?
my cat is lovely, except for her scratching. she's destroyed one sofa, and is on the way to destroying a second, as well as the stairs, and a chair...
she has a scratching post, ignores it, even if i put catnip spray on it.
we've put towels over the offending areas, she moves them aside to scratch.
we stomp and shout if we hear her doing it.
shes even pushed my dad out the way, sat on his feet, and scratched the stairs.
my dad wants to throw out the second sofa and get a leather one, does anyone know if she'll destroy that too? the stairs aren't so bad as it's old carpet and will one day be replaced, but any tips?
i want to try citronella, but i'm worried it will stain.
the cat is approx 8 years old, she was a rescue we got when she was 5-6 years old. i do NOT believe in declawing, and she has the freedom to go outside when ever she wants. (shes shredded a fence post in the garden too...) i don't live with her, i live in the city, but i want to help my dad out!
Stopping a cat scratching furniture?
If she hates the spraying noise, then chasing her off with a plant spray or squirt gun will work well! She won't ignore that, likely. Also cover the couch with alu foil or doublesided tape, she wouldn't care about a towel but she probably won't like the foil or tape.
If you're in the UK you won't even be able to declaw, which is a good thing 'cause I fully agree with you that is a cruel thing to do! But still take a look at the anti-declawing site in the source, it has an extensive article on why cats scratch and how to get them to scratch in the correct places (and leave all those other places alone).
Reply:clip her nails de nail the cat at the vet
Reply:try putting a old tree limb by the area she is scratching. I found using a sprizer bottle with vinegar and water and spraying in face helpful. Only use small amount of vinegar just for he smell. good luck
Reply:She will definitely enjoy scratching the leather sofa too. Declawing is definitely wrong, but trimming the end of her claws with a nail clkipper may help.
Also, go to www.softpaws.com. They sell some nail caps, easy to use, cheap, and no problem for the cat (you can remove them whenever you want too).
Reply:Place covers over the areas, they sell plastic covers, it will protect the furniture, but it probably won't look as snazzy. Then work on fixing the problem, by spraying to punish bad behavior.
Reply:I have dealt with shredder cats before. This is not just a bad habit. Your cat is scratching to mark territory. This is why she doesn't scratch the post.
Almost all animals have territorial behaviors. We have 6 cats and a couple scratched the furniture, a couple spray different things around the house and a couple will aggressively chase off any of the other entering their domain.
For cats that spray or scratch, all you need is a little cyan pepper. if you sprinkle a little cyan pepper on the stair where she is scratching a few time a week for two weeks she wont scratch that area.
On furniture, put two teaspoons of cyan pepper in a nylon stocking. Use the bag a couple times a week to treat the area of the furniture where she scratches. She won't like it and this won't curb the urge she has to scratch, but it will eventually encourage her to scratch on the post.
Reply:Cpinatsi has got it, Softpaws are the way to go. They are small hollow shells of rubbery plastic that cover the nail and are held on by a drop of super glue. The cat cat go about her normal business climbing up fences or scratching at the couch, but no damage can be done as the claws are effectively blunted. I worked at an animal clinic and applied these by the hundreds. Theyre about $20 for a six month supply at most pet stores, or your vet proabably has a supply and would be willing to walk you through it the first time. In a package you usually get about 4-5 sets, as the cats nails grow the shells fall off and you stick on new ones, theyre painless, nontoxic and harmless if ingested.
Reply:Try talking to the vet, they make small plastic covers that slide over each claw and are permanently attached. It doesn't hurt the cat and protects the house from clawing. I've never used them, but I think the vet has to put them on and they have to be redone every so often, but would be worth looking into.

They have them at Pet Co. for like $25.00. Show your cat where they should scratch or get them declawed.

How do you get rid of cats, without hurting them?
Cats hate the smell of ammonia. Put an ammonia soaked rag in a tupperware container (with holes so the scent can escape) on your porch, the foul scent should drive them away, it worked for me around my bird feeders.
Reply:Lots of local shelters will have cat traps you can borrow. Trap them, call the animal control officer, and they're gone.
Reply:Try this recipe: 2 Tbsp. Cayenne pepper, 3 Tbsp. powdered Chinese Mustard, 4 Tbsp. Flour in 2 quarts of warm water.. Allow it to stand for 1 hr and then strain and put it in a spray bottle, and, spray it around. This will repel a mountain lion as well. Cats also hate the smell of Vinegar. So use it in a spray bottle . Cats are afraid of Snakes so place pieces of garden hose about your garden. Cats do not like to see their reflection in a plastic bottle. Try filling plastic soda bottles half full of water and leave them around your garden where they frequent. They will go looking for another place to use as a bathroom. if you plant Chicken Wire just under the surface of the some of the soil around the garden, the cats will have too much trouble digging and find an easier area. Plant Catnip in a place far away from the areas you want to keep them away from. Cats do not like the herb "Rue", so scatter the leaves around the areas that they frequent and they will leave very quickly. Or plant some "Rue " plants.

Whats better Jungle cat or Garden for Kitty?
If you were going to leave your kitty at a boarding facility, what "setting" would you think was cuter or funer for the cat? ** Jungle Room** a room with green walls,fake plants , cat nip and toys with leopard print cat furniture and what not or **Garden kitty** fake hanging plants, flowers and butterflies on the wall and light colored items in the room ? Both rooms would have the identical toys, furniture ect..

Jungle - there is more visually stimulating stuff you can use, IMO.
Reply:Neither of these would appeal to me or my cat who is very timid. I would look for a cattery that had a caring owner who would cuddle and cosset my cat as much as possible and have a warm environment for her so that she did not miss her home comforts.

Question about the BED frame / furniture ?
I've never bought a bed myself and I'm not very knowledgeable about it, but I felt this bed looked all right (see link below). If I get a "full size" of this bed, would it be okay for someone who is around 5'10" tall? If not what size would be good enough?
Also, what does "unfinished" mean? Does it have to be finished in order to use it properly or not? Where can I get it done at?
http://www.amazon.com/Solid-Wood-Platfor...
Question about the BED frame / furniture ?
unfinished means the wood is ready for staining and lacquer.
If you do not wish to finish the wood I would at least put lenn seed
oil on it. Beware the bed may not be assembled when it arrives.
Ask the sender to to give you a list of items included. (does it come with a mattress)
A full size bed should be ok for a 6 foot person.

Ideas for a garden theme!!?
I want to redecorate a TV room with a southernly garden feel. Lots of sunflowers, color, and plants involved. Any ideas for furniture and decoration :)??
Ideas for a garden theme!!?
Instead of a chair rail around the room, why not put up a 3 ft. high white picket fence around the room or at least on one wall with a tree and flowers painted beyond the fence and maybe a swing hanging from the tree. You can have some nice silk flowers poking through the fence. For room furniture use outdoor furnishings like wicker. Maybe even a hammock could be hung from two tree's painted on opposite walls in the room.
Reply:Garden style is typified by an atmosphere of fresh and pretty things, including floral prints, especially in chintz fabrics, needlepoint pillows, framed botanicals, painted wood furniture, lace accents, fresh flowers and china antiques.
THINK OUTDOOR: sky, trees, flowers, grass, stones and water. Ever thought of adding water mini water fountain? Paint "stone pathway"? Stencil a tree on one wall? Build a birdhouse serve as a lamp?
IDEAS:
Mix new and old, washed white and dark wooded furnitures, pictures, etc
http://img.hgtv.com/HGTV/2003/07/22/desi...
Wheelbarrow serve as TV stand
Add birdcage and hang with a rope on the ceiling
Add picket fence on one wall OR stencil it (if you know how)
http://img.hgtv.com/HGTV/2004/03/05/cott...
Add mirror on the opposite side of the window to bring "outdoor" indoor
Set up a long rectangle table the back of your couch with bunches of plants, birdhouses, sunflowers, etc
Hang framed leaves from your backyard http://img.hgtv.com/HGTV/2003/02/19/dws1...
Add sunflower printed throw blanket on the end of couch
Add solid white or pale yellow sheer curtains under large printed sunflower valances. Be sure to add hooks with silk sunflowers attached
A bench from picnic table serve as coffee table
Reply:i wouldn't go to floral pattern crazy with the furniture cause that can look outdated. i would go with a light green colour for the walls, u can still put sunflowers on them if u want.

Instead of a chair rail around the room, why not put up a 3 ft. high white picket fence around the room or at least on one wall with a tree and flowers painted beyond the fence and maybe a swing hanging from the tree. You can have some nice silk flowers poking through the fence. For room furniture use outdoor furnishings like wicker. Maybe even a hammock could be hung from two tree's painted on opposite walls in the room.
Reply:Garden style is typified by an atmosphere of fresh and pretty things, including floral prints, especially in chintz fabrics, needlepoint pillows, framed botanicals, painted wood furniture, lace accents, fresh flowers and china antiques.
THINK OUTDOOR: sky, trees, flowers, grass, stones and water. Ever thought of adding water mini water fountain? Paint "stone pathway"? Stencil a tree on one wall? Build a birdhouse serve as a lamp?
IDEAS:
Mix new and old, washed white and dark wooded furnitures, pictures, etc

Wheelbarrow serve as TV stand
Add birdcage and hang with a rope on the ceiling
Add picket fence on one wall OR stencil it (if you know how)
http://img.hgtv.com/HGTV/2004/03/05/cott...
Add mirror on the opposite side of the window to bring "outdoor" indoor
Set up a long rectangle table the back of your couch with bunches of plants, birdhouses, sunflowers, etc
Hang framed leaves from your backyard http://img.hgtv.com/HGTV/2003/02/19/dws1...
Add sunflower printed throw blanket on the end of couch
Add solid white or pale yellow sheer curtains under large printed sunflower valances. Be sure to add hooks with silk sunflowers attached
A bench from picnic table serve as coffee table
Reply:i wouldn't go to floral pattern crazy with the furniture cause that can look outdated. i would go with a light green colour for the walls, u can still put sunflowers on them if u want.

Lay down a floral area rug:
http://www.homedecorators.com/Rugs/style... many pretty ones, but I think I like the Pansies Rug the best for your theme:

You could hang pictures of flowers (love the "Peonies and Delphinium" by Janet Walsh):

As for furnishings, I would get a wicker patio set with colorful seat cushions:

Why won't my 2 year old stop jumping on my furniture?
I've tried several times to stop him from jumping on the sofa, but he seems to love going back to iy and have a jump. We have a trrampoline in the garden, which he loves. Why won't he stop when I tell him to
Why won't my 2 year old stop jumping on my furniture?
He's a child and is testing his limits--Just keep telling him to stop--don't get angry or abusive in any way--just keep telling him to stop--perhaps lifting him from the sofa--and putting him somewhere else each time..eventually he wil get it--He is testing your limits--if you react with anger--he will have learned how to provoke you. If you continue to set limits calmly--he will learn to respect you--that what you say is what you mean--consistently--
that said--maybe he needs to work off more energy--take him to the outdoor trampoline more--and have more interesting things to do in the house as well..kids llike to play and explore..it's natural...
Reply:He's 2 and that's just how boys are always have to push their luck. give him a warning and if he does it again then put him in time out for 2 min. and if that doesn't work put him in his bed or just his room for a few min. he should understand that you're not joking when you say no.
Reply:he is CUTE
Reply:thats why its called terrible twos. get a lock for his bedroom, put him in it when he dis obeys, right away so he can see why. let him out AFTER he stops crying. He needs to learn to listen.
Reply:You are just gonna have to keep on telling him over and over again....eventually he will get the message.
When you have removed him from the sofa, get down to his level, look him in eye and, with a deep and serious voice, say " you dont jump on the sofa, a sofa is for sitting on, not jumping".....and then take him out of the room..i would also try distraction.....get him interested in something else when he wants to jump on the sofa.
Reply:Tell him he's not allowed on the furniture period. Make him sit on the floor and tell him that he can try again tomorrow or after his nap or something.
Reply:And why he should care for your furniture. With his lovely jumps, chinky jumps, smiling jumps he is offering you a lot of happiness, if he stops this activity for 24 hrs , you will certainly feel whether he got ill, and you will pray God that you will never prevent him , but please give all his smiles and jump back . This is nature.
Reply:Because he loves jumping on the sofa!
You need to reinforce your telling by doing:
Take him out and put him on the trampoline. Tell him the trampoline is for jumping and the sofa is for sitting.
Make him SIT on the sofa - and if he won't, give him a warning: the next jumping on the sofa will get you a time out.
Reply:my son does the same exact thing. he loves to jump all over the place on everything, onto everything. September he broke his arm...last friday, fractured his leg. Jumping from the dresser to the bed - onto a pile of clothes. I warned him and warned him, sat him on time out, did all i could. i get told its a boy thing. wild arnt they!?
Reply:Could be that he's doing it for attention. Be sure to give him the attention he craves when he's being good- ignore him when he's being naughty. Kids hate to be ignored. Of course if he is really pushing his luck you could use Time out, but when disciplining him get down to his level and tell him why he is naughty and get him to say sorry. Good luck!
Reply:he thinks hes tigger hey! i would say time out he has to know now other wise can you imagine when he is 16 and doing it..mmmmm no time out for 2 min a min per year of age.when its time up you get to his leval and say mummy does not want you to do that again. after he say sorry. let him go if it happens again do the same thing, ill be truthful it will take about a week and probably wear you out. but remember YOU are the boss.good luck to you and tigger...
Reply:Some pretty harsh answers for disciplining a two year old!
I have a two year old boy and he is crazy!
I wish all he did was jump on the furnature!
Locking him in his room until he stops crying will only break his temper and his emotional ability will begin to decrease, not a good idea unless you want a heartless child.
Two year olds do this kind of thing, for attention, boredom, or just to be plain naughty! I promise he WILL grow out of it.
I've shouted at mine til I'm blue in the face and trust me they still do it, it will stop eventually try ignoring him and he'll get bored of it himself.
Reply:if he doesn't stop when you tell him to, put him in time out, he needs to know that there are consequences for not listening to you.
Reply:Get him into a trampolining class that has lessons three or four times a week. He will:
a) get good at bouncing and be able to use his own trampoline in better ways
b) have no time to bounce on your sofa
Alternatively you could get a sofa with really strong springs.
Also, two year olds don't do what you say! He's only a kid!

What color should I paint my living and dining rooms?
I just bought new furniture and was wondering what color to use for the walls. This is the couch:
http://www.furniturexo.com/Garden-Grove-...
and this is the dining room set:
http://www.furniturexo.com/images/D423-3...
Any ideas? (Specific color names would be appreciated)
What color should I paint my living and dining rooms?
Pale gold would be great, or caramel.
Reply:A cream yellow (more Cream then Yellow) would work, and paint the base boards (if they are painted if not work with the wood you have.) a deeper cream yellow or a pure white. Go to the paint store and bring home samples of all the cream yellows all the company's make to find your shade.
Reply:A color similar to the wall color in the picture of the kitchen would go very nice in your combo living space.
One suggestion is Sherwin Williams "Jonquil".
Both spaces will have a lot of activity, so try to keep in warm and invigorating.
Have fun with the decorating.
P.S. The dinette is beautiful!
Reply:for the couch... Go for Cinnamon.
For the Dining Room... Salmon.
Reply:i think the name of the green that will go wih the dining room set is called summer rain as for the sofa i dont have a clue
Reply:Nice choices! I would do a honey gold or a khaki
paint, and blue accents. Depending on the floor plan, I
would paint the rooms the same color. In my mom's house, the LR?DR is an "L" shape, so she uses the same color.
My house has 2 rooms side, by side. My LR is solid honey color, and the DR is same color as LR below the chair rail molding, and one shade lighter above. My trim is cream, like your DR furniture.
Reply:light green
Reply:sage green works well with maroon. as for your dining, sage green will meld with the green tones of your chairs. or you can also play with shades of yellow and orange. check out sherwin williams.com for sprout for your living room and koi pond for your dining
Reply:the living room
would be very cool if u paint it in a nice cosey crimson color
u know u can bring those bars with colors in it
put it on the wall
and compare
and for the dinning room
i guess the colors in the picture r way too nice
and u know what would go really good too
baby blue with light or hot yellow
they will do really good
the couch is really nice
and so is the dinning room
:)
u have a very nice taste
enjoy them

My neighbour has part of my garden...?
my door is at the side of my house, and theres a fence that runs one metre in front of it, at the side of that fence is my neighbours kitchen window, That has 3 METRES , i cannot get a pram into my house and have great differcultly movin furniture in and out,
i know that this is a health and safety issue, and i have been told by council workers that the fence needs to move further back, allowing me to gain full accsess to my property, and also it will give me another 1.5 metres of garden that goes all the way down,
my neighbour has just recently bought her home, and has made other residents move their boundrys back to the correct places. the issue of the fence was raised when she actually thought i had her land, and when we looked at the council boundry map, she had MINE! and then a week later the boundry line had been CHANGED to suit her, AS SHE SHOUTS THE LOUDEST! the council are a waste of time, what should i do?
My neighbour has part of my garden...?
Weather you own or not, councils tenants have the same rights as "homeowners". If you are a tenant, you need to go to the council and get a copy of the original bounderies, and see if there is any way they can help. If not then go to the C.A.B and get proper legal advise ( bringing up the "Health %26amp; Safety" issues). See how loud you can shout. What makes her so special.Her S*it still stinks!!!!!! You could threaten to sue if you hurt yourself, trying to get your pram in! Good luck
Reply:she couldn't possibly get the boundary changed within a week go to th council and ask to see the planning file on her property and yours look up the land registry files to see the defining boundarys whatever itn says on these is true. you can get copies to show her if she doesn't believe you. your local council has to have the files and it doesn't cost anything to see them
Reply:I bought a piece of property at auction for a rental house, but didn't bargain for the next door neighbor. As soon as the "sold" came from the auctioneer, she was in my face. She was yelling at me that my house was sitting on her property and she wanted it moved, as she had tried to get the previous owners to do. I went to the city and found the maps. What I found was that my house was not on her property, but the down spouts coming off the house were. My next step was to hire a survey crew to stake the exact placement of my property line. There is now a lovely fence dividing the property. She still yells, but I know I'm right. The city can not change the property lines, they are plainly listed in your property deed. Surveying isn't the cheapest, but sometimes it is the only way.

What are the decorating trends this year/or season for a home? What room scents are the most popular, candles, incense, etc. What flowers are popular for Fall and Winter(store bought of course)? What colors are in as far as wall color and general room color of the furniture to the decorations? I am oblivious when it comes to designing and decorating I could use a little bit of help please. Thanks! =)

I am looking for reclaimed roof tiles or slates, in the 53500 area of france?
can anyone help with reclaimed sales in 53500, Mayenne only, as we dont want to far to travel, France, places like Emmaeus, where they sell lots of second hand stuff, from roof tilesand slates to furniture and garden stuff. or how to find out about house clearances and such like. i would be very grateful, thanks

Has anyone a suggestion to stop my cat climbing up my net curtains?
I have this gorgously friendly cat called Nelson. Most of the time he's calm and spends his time curled up or sprawled out sleeping. But occassionaly he'll come screaming (not literally!) in from the garden, rush round the furniture, jumping from chair to chair and end up at the top of the net curtains hanging there, waiting for me to get him down!
Has anyone any suggestions?
Has anyone a suggestion to stop my cat climbing up my net curtains?
If you buy a water pistol or a water bottle from garden centres that you spray planks and fill it with water you can spray your cat when it climbs the curtains, thus it will associate that bad behavious such as climbing the curtains = a spray of water
Reply:trim and file his nails
Reply:Hi Val
your cats playing games with you and he knows once hes up them curtains you are going to give him some attention. Try and dis track him when he comes in or change the way he comes in as cats don't like changes Good luck an thumbs up for a good Question
Reply:yes, get rid of the net curtains which are sooo old fashioned.
Otherwise, get a small water pistol and when he climbs, say nothing, just squirt. That way he will think it's the curtains doing it and not you. so even if you aren't there, he won't climb them.
Reply:get rid of the cat or nets
Reply:First of all, you don't need to get him down, he can get down himself. As for stopping him climing the curtains try using a waterpistol. Each time he does it, sqirt him, but don't let him see you doing it. He will then associate being wet with climing the cutrains, he won't know why, but he won't want to do it again. The important thing is that he doesn't see you doing it so that he thinks its something to do with the cutrains.
Reply:put orange peel at the bottom of the nets as our cat did not like the smell and would not go any where near it.
Reply:It is much more easier than trying to train your cat. There is a spray that is healthy and very good for the animals. It is called NO SCRATCH! All it is, is a pheremone that is used to defelct a cat away. It is totally harmless and humans can not smell it, just spray it on your curtains. That way you will both be happy!! It really works I used it on my xmas tree for my cats!!!! Good Luck
Reply:Get a spray bottle and everytime he does that, spray him with cold water, most cats hate water and he should learn that way!!
Reply:take them down.
Reply:take the nets down i have now mine run up the curtains instead .:)
Reply:take it to your naboores curtons so it can tear thoose up not yours
Reply:My husband had a similar problem one time (this happened before we met, but he loves to tell the story). His kittens loved to climb the curtains, and he wanted to break them of that habit. He got a supply of narrow rubber bands, and left small stashes in several places in the living room. Whenever he saw a cat on the curtains, he'd grab the most convienent rubber band and fire it at the offender. The startled and stinging kitten would let go. Before long, they'd learned not to climb the curtains.
Reply:keep a water bottle by you with a spray on it. Spray him every time he gets up there. He will eventually stop. That's how I got my cats to quit climbing the christmas tree.
Reply:there is a spray you can buy at pet stores that doesn't stain, and cats don't like it. Try that on your curtains, or just keep telling him off when he does it - rolled up newspaper on the backside is a good, noisy but soft smack
Reply:Every time you see the cat do this spray him with a spray bottle. Cold water.
Reply:remove the netcurtains and get some shades
Reply:I hope you pay no attention to anyone who tells you to declaw him. For one, it sounds as though he goes outdoors, so he needs the claws. For two, is there any way you can try some two-sided sticky tape on your curtains? Cats hate the feel of it on their paws and if you could stick some where he lands on the curtains, it just might work. Good luck to you and Nelson!
Reply:get him a big tall scratch post to climb instead.
i caught my cat climbing the wall in the sitting room!

Has anyone any suggestions?
Has anyone a suggestion to stop my cat climbing up my net curtains?
If you buy a water pistol or a water bottle from garden centres that you spray planks and fill it with water you can spray your cat when it climbs the curtains, thus it will associate that bad behavious such as climbing the curtains = a spray of water
Reply:trim and file his nails
Reply:Hi Val
your cats playing games with you and he knows once hes up them curtains you are going to give him some attention. Try and dis track him when he comes in or change the way he comes in as cats don't like changes Good luck an thumbs up for a good Question
Reply:yes, get rid of the net curtains which are sooo old fashioned.
Otherwise, get a small water pistol and when he climbs, say nothing, just squirt. That way he will think it's the curtains doing it and not you. so even if you aren't there, he won't climb them.
Reply:get rid of the cat or nets
Reply:First of all, you don't need to get him down, he can get down himself. As for stopping him climing the curtains try using a waterpistol. Each time he does it, sqirt him, but don't let him see you doing it. He will then associate being wet with climing the cutrains, he won't know why, but he won't want to do it again. The important thing is that he doesn't see you doing it so that he thinks its something to do with the cutrains.
Reply:put orange peel at the bottom of the nets as our cat did not like the smell and would not go any where near it.
Reply:It is much more easier than trying to train your cat. There is a spray that is healthy and very good for the animals. It is called NO SCRATCH! All it is, is a pheremone that is used to defelct a cat away. It is totally harmless and humans can not smell it, just spray it on your curtains. That way you will both be happy!! It really works I used it on my xmas tree for my cats!!!! Good Luck
Reply:Get a spray bottle and everytime he does that, spray him with cold water, most cats hate water and he should learn that way!!
Reply:take them down.
Reply:take the nets down i have now mine run up the curtains instead .:)
Reply:take it to your naboores curtons so it can tear thoose up not yours
Reply:My husband had a similar problem one time (this happened before we met, but he loves to tell the story). His kittens loved to climb the curtains, and he wanted to break them of that habit. He got a supply of narrow rubber bands, and left small stashes in several places in the living room. Whenever he saw a cat on the curtains, he'd grab the most convienent rubber band and fire it at the offender. The startled and stinging kitten would let go. Before long, they'd learned not to climb the curtains.
Reply:keep a water bottle by you with a spray on it. Spray him every time he gets up there. He will eventually stop. That's how I got my cats to quit climbing the christmas tree.
Reply:there is a spray you can buy at pet stores that doesn't stain, and cats don't like it. Try that on your curtains, or just keep telling him off when he does it - rolled up newspaper on the backside is a good, noisy but soft smack
Reply:Every time you see the cat do this spray him with a spray bottle. Cold water.
Reply:remove the netcurtains and get some shades
Reply:I hope you pay no attention to anyone who tells you to declaw him. For one, it sounds as though he goes outdoors, so he needs the claws. For two, is there any way you can try some two-sided sticky tape on your curtains? Cats hate the feel of it on their paws and if you could stick some where he lands on the curtains, it just might work. Good luck to you and Nelson!
Reply:get him a big tall scratch post to climb instead.
i caught my cat climbing the wall in the sitting room!

How should I write a poem for my grandmother?
My grandmother's birthday is coming up soon, and people usually ask me to make the whole computer presentation for her party. It has to have a poem for my granny in it, but lately I've had writer's block and don't know what to write. Any suggestions on how it should go, or what I should put? She likes gardening, shopping, plants, furniture, stuff like that.
How should I write a poem for my grandmother?
Let love flow through your fingers.
Think about what your grandmother's life was like when she was your age.
Think of all that you know about her, whether she's spunky, fragile, wholesome, a pistol...or even all of these things at times.
The fact that you're not just slapping something together shows your love for her.
Since she likes gardening, consider the seeds she's planted in your heart. (Confidence, courage, faith?)
Change your environment, even if for a lunch break. Nature is great. Take pen, pencil, or crayon...and paper, napkin, or whatever...and doodle your way to an answer.
Best wishes.
Reply:Consider using humour - it gives a framework if you find it hard to find an emotional basis.
Use on of each of the 'likes' you mention to construct a witty verse.
Reply:With all of your heart
Reply:Yes... old people r very sensitive and it will make her happy to hear something that's dedicated to her(something special). She will feel loved. And old people love to feel loved, everyone does. Go for it! U should write from the heart. If u have a topic it will go harder. Just say whatever comes to your mind.
Enjoy! I really, really hope I helped!
xoxo
P.S: Say hi to granny for me.

What kind of tile should i buy for my floor ? Where are showroom or stores that you suggest to me to come?

What kind of tile should i buy for my floor ? Where are showroom or stores that you suggest to me to come?
Surprisingly, Costco and Lowe's have a large tile selection in their flooring departments, and are usually able to make their tiles less expensive since it's a large national company and not a small flooring-only store.

Can wood treatment cause reaction when breathed in ,in enclosed areas?
I have a room built for music(mixing on turntables)which is my hobby.i have had a reaction in my ears each time i occupy the room which is timber framed.Have discovered that just standing in the room without music on i have the same type of tingling feeling and was told that maybe i'm breathing in something toxic in the room that maybe giong to a week spot which can be the ears .Ive taken out all possible suspects like garden furniture,stained shelving etc but nothing majorly toxic(building is at end of garden).
The shed is a year old and on the inside is plasterboard fixed onto the timber framed ceilings and walls,on the extrnal is plywood covered in a waterproofed membrane and then sand and cement rendering.
When other people come into the shed they cant feel anything at all but then they're not exposed to it all the time as i am.Have had my ears checked privately and all was fine.
The music is played very moderately not at all banging loud
Can wood treatment cause reaction when breathed in ,in enclosed areas?
If your house or room has Wolmanized lumber or green treated lumber that is more than 8-10 years old and you breathed in any of the dust you could very well be poisoned.
The wolamized or treated lumber used to contain arsenic poison to kill insects and was outlawed several years back but some of that lumber is still sold from older lumber yards and reclaimed used lumber.
It is unlikely if you didn't breathe the sawdust yourself but it is very possible.I watched case on TV a few months ago that the doctors accused the husband of poisoning his wife until they both got sick and checked his house sure enough it was arsenic poisoning.
I'd get checked if I were you.I stopped using the lumber back in the late 80's before it was outlawed.
But I never showed any symptoms.

Can you lay natural (raw) stone outside for an outdoor living area and how would you do it?
I don't like manufactured stone and would like to use flat stones I have found for outside flooring in a garden- to put furniture on. What would I use to lay the stone/ how would I go about doing this?
Can you lay natural (raw) stone outside for an outdoor living area and how would you do it?
yes natural stone will work well and look grate. to start mark out the area you will lay the stone, level it out as best you can. if close to the house ,grade it so water will run away from the house.lay down a base of coarse sand.level it out and moisten it with a garden hose fine spray,then tamp it down to settle it in good. start laying your stones down make sure you level each stone to the one next to it.when all the stones are down spread sand over the whole area.with a broom sweep the sand into the spaces between the stones, when done spray the area once more to settle in the sand..and your done.let it dry and if needed add more sand to fill in any spaces
Reply:Q do you have to dig down and how much is in your budget and will you be doing it ?
if you have to dig down you will have to bring in sand and alot of it . you will lay the stones like you will a swimming pool . using the sand to level the surface as each stone will need a bit more or a bit less . then wen you have them all laid out you will need to fill in between the stones . but if you can avoid digging out and your yard is nice and flat you can lay some cheep paneling out then lay the stones then take some mortar and sweep it into the cracks and pound it in well then let the rain or a sprinkler do the rest . you will want to border the area with 2/4 so you will have a nice edge . but if you want it round you can use some of the paneling and some re barb to hold it in place you can buy it pre cut . but the paneling will work as both a grass stopper and give a solid place so that the stones will not sink . and just a thought but have you seen the lights that go in the ground with the thick plexy glass top that will make a good liting mixed in the stones

JR's are very active dogs. They have loads of energy and need lots of exercise. Shutting them indoors will make them go wacko. You really ned to be out side with them and playing...often.

Reply:When you leave them inside, put them in a kennel. This should be standard practice for any dog that has shown a tendency to be destructive. When you let them out, put up a fence around the garden. They also make portable invisible fences. It is a stake that goes into the ground and makes an invisible fence in a circle around it. You set how big of a circle it is. Train them, or prevent the behavior. The answer really is pretty simple.

Reply:The first and most obvious thing to try would be to fence the garden- if they cant get in, they cant very well dig it up!
If a solid fence wont work, or there isnt room to put one in, you could try a "sonic fence" product- they sell them online and in some pet stores. Basically they emit a high-pitched frequency that dogs can hear, but people cant (like a dog whistle)- the dogs dont like the sound, so they stay away from it.
You may also want to offer them some more constructive ways of using their energy. KONG brand toys are excellent- they're made of hard rubber with little slots and holes so you can put treats inside. The dogs can smell the treats in the toy, so they play with it relentlessly. Over time the toy will release bits of treat, so the dog is getting rewarded and will continue to play with it. The same toy can keep the dog occupied almost indefinately- just change what kind of treats are in it from time to time so they dont get bored with their rewards! :)

My dog keeps peeing on furniture - how do I stop him?
My dog/pup is about 30 weeks old and we toilet trained him fine. He always goes to wee in the garden with the other dogs and when we go out for walks. However, over the past 2 weeks he has started cocking his leg up and peeing on my furniture i.e laundry basket, curtains, bed, cd rack - you name it, he pees on it. How do I stop him???
My dog keeps peeing on furniture - how do I stop him?
Interrupt him every time he pees somewhere inappropriate, take him outside immediately %26amp; praise him for peeing in the garden. Do NOT punish him to stop him but you will need to do something to stop him mid-flow (think in terms of gently startling him rather than scaring him.
You may find that castration could help with this problem as it sounds as if he is beginning to mark as he becomes sexually mature. I would recommend discussing it with your vet %26amp; a dog behaviourist to see what the best solution is.
Reply:The previous answer is spot on! But another bit of info - Disinfect/bleach the area where the dog has 'marked his territory' otherwise, if he can still detect his own scent, he will instinctively re-mark it.
You mention other dogs... If you have more than one dog they will need to establish their position in the pack. You, of course, are Top Dog (no offence) the dogs will establish their positions after you. A good way to enforce their status is to consistently feed, fuss let in %26amp; let out the dogs in their prospective orders. This will discourage them from competing for the top spot!
Hope this helps... Good luck Xx

Which saw should I buy?
I need to buy a saw to cut small branches 2" to 4" for making rustic garden furniture. The saw would also be used for cutting treated wood of various sizes but mostly 4"x 2". I have arthritis in my hands and need some advise, would I be better to buy an all purpose electric saw or an electric chain saw. The prices of both saw would be at the lower end around £75. Has anyone used both types of saw and which would you advise me to buy.
Which saw should I buy?
I've been in the trades for a long time and have many tools, often very specific for a particular task. I have a feeling YOu need more than one tool for two very different tasks.
With all due respect to you, and certainly other answers I see, your issue with some debilitation might be aggravated by using either saw?
I have a few Recip. saws and a couple of gas/elect. operated chain saws. Each is designed for various purposes or choices of use obviously, but one might give you "finer" results than the other.
Your problem might be in just the weight of each and the angles you need to be using them at? My Recip. saws are every bit as heavy as my chain saws, but offer a finer, smoother cut, with multiple blade choices, even up to 8 inches, effectively.
The other issue you might encounter is in using either for the two different approaches you want to apply to the same sized piece of stock.
Either will work well on a cross cut...IE: Branch, but your suggestion in the Q is that you're going to be doing either type of cut "Freehand." I'll assume in the making of even rough cut furniture some RIP cuts might have to be made?
Without strictly knowing your techniques in achieving the "product" it's probably 50/50 for either saw. I've seen ART created with a chain saw, but that doesn't constitute it as FINE art. Likewise "RUSTIC" is a mind set as well as a look.
I suggest RENT both types for a weekend/week and practice the use, and effects of each, then judge them against your desires and designs.
If you work with either for any extended time period they will seem Heavier.
If you went all out and spent 150 pounds for two different saws you'd very likely find appropriate uses for both, and realize that they will pay for themselves in time.
Steven Wolf
Reply:I would also go with an electric reciprocating saw. I've used one before for cutting small branches as well as cutting a hole through a floor for a heating duct. I prefer it to a small chainsaw. You do have to hang onto this kind of saw fairly firmly, though, so take some painkillers for your arthritis before you start using it!
Reply:I would get a corded sawz all. They are relatively cheaper than battery powered and much lighter. A good one won't vibrate much and you won't have to sharpen the blades all the time. You just put in a new one. You can also change the size of the blades to fit the job you are doing. An electric chain saw is much heavier, more maintenance (sharpening blades) and much more dangerous. A resiprocating sawzall is the way to go.

Reply:Consider two saws. A bow saw is great for cutting branches. I've tried to use Saws all for cutting branches and mostly found it to be a Pain in the arm. Each time the blade bites wrong and it will time and time again your body will catch the force and hands will ach if you use it a lot. Bow saws are fast with good blades four five pulls to take out a 2" branch. cost 10-20 $ for me. As for the 2x4 get a simple 7 /14 " chop saw. a 10" if you have the money.

Reply:Certainly do not try cutting round wood on a cicular saw, it will grab it, and could easily cause serious injury, why dont you go find somebody who is making items with rustic timber, and see what tools he is using
Reply:Steven has a good point about buying both types of saws and his point about renting the saws to try them is good as well. I think that a reciprocating saw would be more troublesome if you have arthritis because of the severe vibration. If you get a cheap gas chainsaw you will regret it because it will give you problems with starting and running. Echo, Stihl, and Husqvarna make small chainsaws that are made with quality. Makita and Milwaukee both make reciprocating saws that have anti vibration technology which would be to your benefit.
Reply:You need a Bow-Saw
Reply:For the branches, what about a camping saw? For the rest, a circular saw. Try some of the pawn or hock shops.
Reply:very itty bitty hand saw hack, it will give you a better work out.
Which saw should I buy?
I've been in the trades for a long time and have many tools, often very specific for a particular task. I have a feeling YOu need more than one tool for two very different tasks.
With all due respect to you, and certainly other answers I see, your issue with some debilitation might be aggravated by using either saw?
I have a few Recip. saws and a couple of gas/elect. operated chain saws. Each is designed for various purposes or choices of use obviously, but one might give you "finer" results than the other.
Your problem might be in just the weight of each and the angles you need to be using them at? My Recip. saws are every bit as heavy as my chain saws, but offer a finer, smoother cut, with multiple blade choices, even up to 8 inches, effectively.
The other issue you might encounter is in using either for the two different approaches you want to apply to the same sized piece of stock.
Either will work well on a cross cut...IE: Branch, but your suggestion in the Q is that you're going to be doing either type of cut "Freehand." I'll assume in the making of even rough cut furniture some RIP cuts might have to be made?
Without strictly knowing your techniques in achieving the "product" it's probably 50/50 for either saw. I've seen ART created with a chain saw, but that doesn't constitute it as FINE art. Likewise "RUSTIC" is a mind set as well as a look.
I suggest RENT both types for a weekend/week and practice the use, and effects of each, then judge them against your desires and designs.
If you work with either for any extended time period they will seem Heavier.
If you went all out and spent 150 pounds for two different saws you'd very likely find appropriate uses for both, and realize that they will pay for themselves in time.

How can I obtain a value on antique oriental furniture? I have a black lacquer item w/ genuine ivory inlay.?
This was handed down by my grandmother, who was wealthy and purchased it in NYC in the 1940's or 50's. It has beautiful scenery(ivory) of women and children in a garden and on a shore fishing, with further detail handpainted in gold. The top opens and has more detail, then another surface that also opens to both left and right. Front cabinets, side cabinets, and corner cabinets to hold stemware. The handles are carved into the wood, and scallop shell shaped..

You can also try sending a photograph to any of the major auction houses, Christies, Sothebys, Doyles, Bonhams...most have an Asian Arts division. They will evaluate it based on a possible consignment. You can submit your photo and info online.

I want to buy a pallet of wood from a supplier and not a timber merchants where do i go?
The wood is for garden furniture so it needs to be of good grade

Go direct to the saw mills, that's where the timber merchants get their stock from, before they add their cut to you.
Reply:Try the bigger merchants such as James Latham or Timbmet

Reply:Say what? A "pallet" of wood? Never seen such a thing. What's a "Timber Merchant"?
Do you want timber, or wood? And do you know the difference?
If wood, what dimmensions?
A "pallet" of wood would still be such a small quatity that no wholesale supplier would sell to you. A semi-load is about as small a quantity that a mill will sell directly.

Preparing wood for outdoor use?
I am going to cut down a Rhododendron tree in the garden and would like to re-use the wood in the garden (e.g. garden chairs, table, bench, etc.)
What seasoning / treatment / etc do I need to carry out on the wood after cutting so that it will not rot or degrade once I have made into garden furniture?
.
Preparing wood for outdoor use?
cut it into the sections you want, melt some wax and dip the ends and store in a cool dry place for about a year, this prevents checking (cracks) then bark the wood and put together whatever your building and spray or paint on a good wood sealer clear or colored or you could stain it then seal it... good luck...
Reply:many outdoor furnitures made of wood are being injected with ati-insect, anti termite solutions

Are these pieces of furniture supposed to go together?
I'm looking to update my room a little bit and was thinking about getting a new bed.
I started looking around and finally I found some stuff on overstock.com
Now the problem. I found a new bed and would love a headboard but I'm not sure if I get the platform bed that the headboard is made or even supposed to be with the bed.
Please send help.
Bed URL: http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Bro...
Head Board URL: http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Bro...
I suppose I'm not to worried if they DO go together physically as opposed to if they are supposed to or not be together visually.

The headboard looks like it comes to the floor in the picture they show. It does not look like it goes with the platform bed. The platform bed picture looks like a different headboard. I think the bookcase headboard is made to attach to a regular bed frame.
Reply:If you look on the page with the headboard and scoll down on the right hand side in the pic of the nightstand you can see the corner of what looks the same bed with the headboard. It's not much but will give you an idea about it, anyway.
Personally, I think it's alot of black but if you need the headboard, go for it.
Reply:Well, they were made for each other...literally. In reading the review at the bottom for the bed, the reviewer felt that the material used was cheaper than expected, therefore overpriced. Those who reviewed the headboard said it was confusing to put together and maybe shaky. So, $610 plus how much for freight? It's your money
Reply:it i were tight on money i would go buy to bookcases and paint them blk and use them as the headboard a lot cheaper or make a headboard yourself out of anything curtains hanging garden fence etc
Reply:Don't think they come with headboards. Platform beds are a differant type of bed than the usual conventional bed.
I just can't picture a headboard with a platform bed. They are more the sleek, clean looking bed.
Instead of a headboard, you could do something a little different. Look around and find something you like and put that above your bed. It would be your own personal touch.
A row of pictures or prints going straight across from one end to the other. Could be one a large item that suits your taste. Remember if you like it, use it. This is totally your desertion and no one else's.
Take your own tours of different furniture stores. They have display set-ups. You can get some ideas that way.
There are a lot of options to choose from.
Take your time and have fun with your make-over.

Someone stole a loaf of bread+ furniture from my kitchen at night??
I went downstairs in the middle of the night as i had heard something making loads of noise (must have been a VERY clumsy burglar). As soon as i got into the kitchen i was hit around the head with a loaf of bread- which the burglar then ran off with!
I then found a note saying that someone had stolen back their loaf of bread that i had stolen from them...... I then went outside and my patio furniture was gone!?
What sort of loony would rid me of my bread and garden furniture??

Late for the Oak Tree Committee Meeting! Quickly strip in front of fellow Wiccans. They look at me a little oddly.
Realise this is not a skyclad meeting. Feel slightly sheepish at having poured chickenblood over head before getting confirmation of this...
Go home. Beloved wife explains concisely that I'LL be cleaning the blood off the car seats this time.
Shower.
Consult Book of Shadows for a "more time in the day" spell. Need juniper berries. Wonder if vodka works just as well.
Sample vodka.
Wake up. New day. How the hell did that happen?
Reply:And lately they've been quite busy making that movie, too. You know...The Wicca Man. *groan*
Reply:Well, I can't tell you about the furniture part...that's oathbound material.
As far as us running naked around a big oak tree covered in blood...that is just ludicrous! You need to learn more about what Wicca really is!
We, in fact, run around big oak trees covered in Marmalade. (Some self-proclaimed Wiccans have taken to using diabetic jellies....blasphemers!!)

Reply:I would tell you how stupid you are, but you did make me smile.
Reply:It's not funny. It makes no sense Wiccans do not harm anything. Why would they sacrifices chickens? Now Pagans used to sacrifice animals that couldn't make it through the winter. Anyways.......
Reply:Dude stop watching TV and the Blair Witch Project. Second, that's VERY offensive... how would you like people calling your religion a chicken sacrificing cult?
Wiccans DO NO IN ANYWAY DO ANY BLOOD RITUALS, SACRIFICES, DEMON/DEVIL WORSHIP, or any of the crazy stupid things that people say who hate Wicca/Witchcraft and don't even know what it really means!!!
If you would do your damn research first before you start saying s**t and accusing people of sacrifice, you would know Wiccan are peacful, earth/nature loving people who want to live in harmony and not cutting animals heads off and praying to hell!!!
Stupid ignorant people make me sick, and I'm guessing your one of them... obviously!
Reply:Ya gotta sacrifice a few chickens to make good furniture. There is just no way around it.
Reply:(Rolling my eyes and shaking my head with a slight giggle as I repsond to this sarcastically) Yeah, never heard that one before.........
Paladin on the other hand had a pretty good pun.....
