I'm tiling my kitchen countertop and i've seen sanded grout needs to be the consistency of mashed potatoes....there's too many consistencies of mashed potatoes to make me feel comfortable! We've done it once before and it ended up really sandy and doesn't smear well at all and just seemed too thick. I have laticrete sanded grout with the right size admix for the bag...i just wanted to make sure i know that it's the right consistency when i mix it up. The directions on the bag aren't any help at all considering they're all pictures and no real directions. Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance!

My rabbit just gave birth to her first litter. She has gone straight to eating 2 of the baby's ears. I have removed all 8 of them before she could do any more harm. I am pretty sure that these 2 babies are not going to make it...they are only about 1/2 hour old. what is the best way of dealing with them? I know they have to be in pain. Also, I have another mother with a litter that is about 4 weeks old who is producing milk. Would it be a good idea to use her to nurse the babies supervised or try to dropper feed these babies. Any help is appreciated as long as it is constructive. Thank you.

I gave her timothy hay, carrots, and a wedge of apple but she still chose to eat the straw that was keeping her babies warm. She didn't finish the hay, but still chose the straw. I had a baby burp cloth under the straw and she pulled that out first thing, and the babies were nestled in a nice little nest in the straw. They had big bellies, so she was feeding them and taking care of them for those 3 days. I raised rabbits when I was younger and never had this problem. What should my approach be next time?

I have a gallon of polyurethane and i opened it and it is cloudy w/ stuff settled on the bottom. is it fixable or should i go buy a new can? and why does it do that? my smaller cans have never done that....

I have put on 1 coat of high gloss. it is on panels that attach to my painted cabinets that are satin sheen. im thinking i can maybe put a few layers of satin on top to dull the sheen? or should i buff the shine out then apply satin? it is a very big difference between the 2 sheens and it looks odd....please help me w/your experience! :) thanks!

I bought unfinished kitchen cabinets and i am primering, painting, and glazing them. they are to be white with a dark colored glaze. how do i use the glaze to achieve the "border" around the inside of the doors? I was told to treat it like stain...just rub it on and wipe it off, but I am not sure what I'm really doing and the directions on the bottle are pretty much non-existent. just says to follow the directions in the lowes faux how-to guide, and i don't have that. thanks for any detailed help you can give!

I'm making them tonight, (and maybe a few tomorrow if I don't have some of the spices!) The tastiest that we try gets the points! :)

My husband just changed our toilet and it rocks front and back when you sit on it. What is a fix for this. He has tried to push it down into the wax ring, tightening bolts....????? Any ideas?

My daughter -2 and my son -4 and his best friend have discovered PeeWee's playhouse and are infatuated with it! I remember watching it as a kid and loving it, but now.....oh my gosh!!!

I just bought some lye soap to try w/ my 3 year old daughter who has exema pretty bad on her arms. Is that good to try? My husband says he thinks that it would burn. Is that true? Also I saw a website for pine tar soap. Which is better? Is that a good one for her also?
