D-I-Y Tub Refinishing
There is nothing that looks classier than an old clawfoot bathtub. The style smacks of life in a simpler time when a soak in the tub was a truly welcome experience. Old porcelain tubs lose their patina over the years and the shine turns to a powdery finish that stains and flakes. To get an old bathtub refinished will cost an arm and a leg, even if you have any limbs after trying to pack the 300+ pound dinosaur down the stairs. A tub refinisher will come in to your home for $500 and do the job. They use an epoxy process which produces a great finish. However, there are do-it-yourself products which, with proper care, can do as good a job as the pros. In addition, there are many colors to choose from so you can even do your olive-green, 1970's tub over to white. The kits are available online but read the directions carefully. They require you wear safety glasses and long, rubber gloves because you are dealing with etching solutions and expoxies. But the finish is worth the trouble at a fraction of the cost.

3 No-Space Garden Tips
Here are some tips to get you going on your planting. 1. No-Space Plants: Plant in pots. Tomatoes, lettuce, you name it. Tomatoes can be staked and then water until the fruit appears. Mixing deodorized sheep manure in will keep the fruit coming. The, when it's time for frost you can bring them in for another couple of months. Lettuce leaves can be harvested without plucking the plant so you can have lettuce for a while too. 2. No-Space Composting: Just take a plastic container with a snap lid ( 2' X 2' X 1' ) and add soil. Now take some shredded newspaper and mix it in with the dirt. Now add some red worms (you gardening store sells them). Over the weeks add coffee grounds and some vegetable matter. About once a month open the lid, shine a light on the dirt to make the worms go to the bottom and scoop out the beautiful soil. 3. No-Space Potatoes: Get 4 old tires. Fill the first one with earth and put in seed potatoes. Water and then fill with earth to the brim. When the plants appear place second tire and fill to the rim just letting the potato plants peek over. Repeat with the third and fourth. Then just leave until the middle of August. Then take off each tire and collect the potatoes. A lack of space shouldn't prevent you from getting some great produce from a garden. Just look at what you want and think in miniature.
