how do these things work? I've seen some where they're in the sink but how
do they work? Do you have to put them in the sink
depends if it's electric or gas. If it's electric the only advice I can give
is know your yard and have someone sighted there to go over what you miss.
If you have a long yard go up the one side, down the back, and up the other
side and then the front edge. Once you get back to the beginning of

have sticks called Hot Rod which are small wooden sticks glued together
and are used for quieter songs. I play drums myself so if you have any
those leathre bags are wonderful and make for handy grabs when switching
sticks or tuning up a drum skin.

depending on how far of a gap you have for your stove to counter you can
always slide a broom there and push the pees towards you so that they come
out from the counter or wall or whatever is between the stove and where the

with the water method of heating a floor if you're in the basement do you
hear the water constintly running through the pipes? It's called house shoes
