Thanks for sharing these tips grin
PropertiesRe: Automatic Gate Opener by TrixieC: 9:02am On Mar 11, 2020
goodspeed963:
I would like to install automatic gates on my garage. Can you advise which ones are better?
That depends. A simple automatic mechanism is pretty cheap and can be installed on almost any garage door, but it can have some additional features like smartphone connection or additional lighting and that means the price will go higher. I would recommend something like openers of LiftMaster series. By the way, here's a review on Robotsnavigator about those if you're interested. Hope it helps.

Good day house, I plan to use a concealed cistern for my toilet due to space, the toilet/bathroom is small. Now the problem is I don't want to permanently conceal the cistern tank should in case there will be need for maintenance in the future. What other materials can I use for my toilet walls aside ceramic tiles? I mean material that can easily be removed and replaced during maintenance but will be water resistant to serve as good finishing for my toilet wall
That depends on what toilet bowl you want to install because they differ a lot. For example, according to Gerald's article if you're using something like Kohler Cimarron toilet you won't be able to hide the tank in the wall unless you will cover it with plastic or wooden tiles, can't say anything about ceramic though. You should look for 2-piece toilets like Toto, I think.

Great article. I'm a big fan of Husqvarna and Echo brands and I also own a trimmer with 3T blade, very decent pick. Though if you look through tool comparison guides you'll notice the correlation between gas and electric trimmers. Gas-powered tools are still more powerful compared to the electric ones, which doesn't mean they are bad. They are suited for different situations though.
FamilyRe: My Wife Snores While Sleeping; I Hardly Sleep At Night by TrixieC:
Sexyliciousbri:
if you're financially able there are doctors you can visit to help with this problem.
Loud snoring is often a sign of sleep apnea, which is a serious health problem. Get your wife to an ear, nose, and throat doctor, and a sleep specialist, ASAP!
True.

Unless one happens to be wealthy enough to have an electrical power generator running around the clock 24 hours a day, and 7 days a week, indoor weed growing is NOT an option for Nigeria, where the mains electrical power can remain dead for weeks on end.

Indoor cannabis growing is 100% dependent on the availability of continuous, uninterrupted electrical power, to keep those grow lights on for the specific number of hours required for healthy growth.

In Nigeria therefore, ALL weed growing is outdoors, by necessity.
You can use 12V lamps for growing outdoors. That should be enough because of the small power consumption. At least that how I would do that. I would recommend checking this page on 420growradar, look for budget box with minimal power consumption. With a decent airflow and a couple of 150W light bulbs, you'll get decent results. I hope it helps.
HealthRe: Your Sleeping Position And What It Says About You by TrixieC: 11:17am On Feb 24, 2020
larrydan:
in fact the sleep headphones really help to get rid of bothering noise while you're trying to fall asleep
Indeed. Though some people experience issues trying to slip with the music in the background. Moreover, even the calm tones won't help some people to sleep better not to mention if you have big headphones, especially with a long cable, then go fr wireless ones.
But personally I chose a pair of simple earplugs just as this article advised https://sleepingmola.com/best-ear-plugs/ because they are cheap and come in various shapes. Works great if you live in a noisy area or sleep near someone snoring. Sometimes I get up because of my own snoring!
BusinessRe: Is It Worth Buying Real Estate In Bulgaria And Croatia? by TrixieC: 11:48am On Feb 13, 2020
Hello there.
I visited various Southeast European countries such as Bulgaria, Croatia, Romania and Serbia a few months ago. I think that if you want to start a business there or just want to have a place to stay then you should definitely go for it and here's why.
Aside from beautiful nature and Mediterranean type of climate the prices on real estate property are affordable. Personally, I would recommend checking Bansko properties Suprimmo.net if you're planning to invest or just rent a place there as well.

AgricultureRe: How To Get Rid Of Soil Gnats In Houseplants by TrixieC: 11:41am On Feb 07, 2020
Gnats are indeed a nuisance. Every spring and autumn they appear in my place, especially in the kitchen. But that's my fault, sometimes I forget to clean my house and that attracts various pests, gnats and cockroaches included. From my experience, the usual electric zapper is enough, just as Nicholas Martin advised in his blog. But if your house is heavily infested by those then I would recommend placing a few glue traps and ultrasonic repellents as well.

Thanks for sharing this. I became fascinated with all those smart house gadgets after seeing how those work at my friend's place. I was reading websites like this one https://petersfundracer.com/ and that's how I stumbled upon your page. I'll definitely try some gadgets mentioned here.
PetsRe: Loss Of Appetite In Dog by TrixieC: 9:51am On Dec 04, 2019
Hello there. You didn't tell how old is your dog and what is her breed. From my experience, cooked human food sometimes is not suitable for dogs, for example, bread and beans. Also you need to give food to your pet twice per day, in the morning and in the evening. But you shouldn't just leave the bowl filled with food once, it should be cleaned before every meal. Anyway, you should take your dog to a vet, which should tell you what's wrong and suggest a proper diet. If your dog is old and sheds too much then I would recommend checking this article https://doggolab.com/best-food-for-dog-shedding which might help you too.
HealthRe: Advantages Of Leave-in Treatment On Your Hair by TrixieC: 9:36am On Dec 04, 2019
That's a very interesting article, thanks for sharing. Everything mentioned above I already know and use these principles in my daily routine. But why I don't see anything about reducing frizz? I guess everyone experienced frizz, especially during the dry weather, and it doesn't matter what type of hair you have. If you want to keep your hair healthy then you should be more concerned about the hair products you are using. For example, my routine is made according to Mystraightener blog, I apply coconut milk every time I take a bath as well as a natural serum. You should try this routine too. I would say also that applies to beards as well.
AgricultureRe: Snail Farming Thread -- Let's Make It Work by TrixieC: 1:43pm On Sep 13, 2019
kankaroo:
I am still in the process of setting up my SNAIL farm, just yesterday i discovered that ants (red rugged ants that is smaller than Soldier ant has surged from the ground. They are enjoying carrots and cocoyam peals i deposited in the farm. How do i treat this farm before i introduce the snails? Should i apply insecticide inside the soil of the farm because they are coming from the soil/ground
There are various ant repellents and traps. I would recommend using both types before and after introducing the snails. According to this blog, most of them are resistant to rain, snow and sun. From my experience, just a couple of these should be enough to deal with the ant problem. All you need just a few days just to be sure. You may also reinstall traps later again.

Pests are very irritating, the reason being they come at a time when you searching for some peace and do they do disturb your peace.

While pests are a year-round nuisance, but some of them become most active in warmer months of the year. Household pests like bed bugs, cockroaches, ants and termites love summers and they are already out to scare you. From bedrooms to toilets and to kitchens, they can be found anywhere . Pests thus become worst nightmare if the situation is not handled properly.Due to hot and humid temperature pests have become a routine and have haunted the lives of all residents and I too have a very bad experience with the pests before I hired pest control company.

Garlic – Mix finely chopped garlic with water and spray around the area where you think they can enter through.
Peppermint – Peppermint acts as a Pied Piper of Hamelin of 21st century. It is the most effective natural product used to keep rodents away. In fact, sometimes pest control services also use this method as a primary step. You can simply soak cotton balls in 100% pure peppermint oil and place them around areas where mice can get in. An alternative way is to mix the peppermint oil with water and use it as a spray. Make sure to replace the cotton balls every 2-4 weeks.
The next important tip is to inspect your home on every weekend. Look around every possible hole and gap especially near your desk, wardrobe, kitchen chimney and pipe entrance. Building with crawl arena is at high risk of rodent infestation.
I like this post. I'm a seasoned farmer myself and I would say pests may cause nuisance almost every day, but I agree that they are more active during warmer months in Summer and Autumn. While house pests are easier to locate and deal with, the outdoor ones are far more difficult to get rid of.
From my experience, when to protect your garden you should spread both natural ingredients and baits from the shop. This garlic spray recipe is very effective against pests especially aphids and cabbage worms. While ants are more stubborn and require something more powerful. I would recommend getting a few dust traps as mentioned here https://pestcontrolhacks.com/top-6-best-ant-traps-reviewed-how-to-choose-the-ant-trap-to-solve-your-problem/ and spread them on the borders of your garden. It works well with house protection too. Usually, such traps kill ants almost instantly.

Ejanla07:
the oil actually works for my balding hair. but its quite slow. for d beard it works faster. bit slow for balding hair.....

o doubted it initially but i started noticing changes.

even my barber ve noticed dat my bald is growing back.... i was just starting to go bald though it was quite visible...


i recommend it to anyone going bald. it works.
That's true about that oil.
I love bearded men and that's why my husband has a beard. He's not balding, but he frequently uses this beard oil. It really feels smoother now, especially with the use of a beard straightener I gave him on his last birthday. This article helped a lot, by the way. I didn't know you could apply a straightener to your beard before reading it!
Though you need to be cautious and don't use it every day otherwise you'll just damage your beard you will have to shave it...
GamingRe: Microsoft Solitaire Inducted Into World Video Game Hall Of Fame by TrixieC: 10:29am On May 16, 2019
Nice, but still no Half-Life. I can agree that classic Solitaire is a well-known and popular game. But influential? I doubt that. I play sometimes microsoft solitaire collection windows 10 and think this one should be the final and perfect version of this product. But the classic one, forget about it.
