_File _Edit _History _Bookmarks _Tools _Help

If so see link below for information,

Here is a link that might be useful: Tools menu bar

If you are wanting to do a System Restore, you should be able to go
Start
All Programs
Accessories
System Tools
System Restore

At least that is what it is for me in Windows 7. Yours might be a little different depending on what Operating System you have....ie Windows XP, Windows 7, etc.

Not knowing how big your garden is but knowing that you have 2"-5" rocks, I would go with a rockhound. Here is a video of a rockhound in action. "Rockhounds" I see that you are in the same state that I'm in. You know how bad the economy is here. I'll bet that there are 3 to 4 landscapers in your area that are really looking for work. Here is what I would do. Get at least 2 bids. Tell them you want to remove rocks to a depth of 6"-8". Make sure that they are bonded or insured. And get everything in writing. This process maybe expensive at first but in the long run you won't be wreaking your equipment and you won't be breaking your back. Hope this helps. May your garden feed plenty and your flowers grace the dinner table.

how do you store brooms and tools?

We have hooks installed in the broom closet for brooms and mops, and then I put a loop of wire through the hole at the end of each broom/mop so that I can hang more than one broom from each hook. I like vinmarks' method, but my broom closet is more crowded than that, as it also has vacuum cleaners, electric steam mops, and pizza peels/spinners/etc in it. Tools go in the garage, and we have large storage unites for them, including pegboard.

Good idea john, so are you going to cut the SS with a band saw and clean it up with a band sander? Sounds like you have a metal brake to put a a bend in it. I love working with stainless steel but I only use 300 series SS, the 400 series SS can't hold a shine and will rust. If you have some stainless pipe with 1/8" walls or better you can cut a cross section to get a nice clean round roll for the pulls if you don't have a a metal roller. I collect SS pipe when ever I find it for such purposes and usually comes from scraped industrial food processing equipment for the 300 series SS. You can also buy pipe from online sources like Metals Depot. Example: 1-1/2" OD X .120" wall 304 Stainless Round Tube - POLISHED for $83, or 6 ft for $122. You can cut a lot of pulls from a 4' piece when the pipe is cut in 3rds. 4' of 2"pipe is $107.00. "Unfussy, durable, utilitarian, easy to use, easy to clean, non-snagging, not in-your-face" is what I prefer and had a hard time finding a new refrigerator without the HUGE in you face handles sticking out. Found one with no handles with pulls built into the door sides and love it. I also love silver braising or tig welding SS and polishing the seams for a clean invisible seam. 300 series only, NO 400 magnetic SS for me.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. It depends on the roofing material, the house's structure, and how the roofing material was installed. There may be other factors too. In my area, the code requires plywood sheathing (plywood sheets as an underlayment) under the entire roof. When a structure built before that rule became effective (that may have thin slats, as an example) gets reroofed, plywood sheathing needs to be installed first. My roof was so retrofitted with sheathing before high profile composition shingles were installed. Replacing wood shingles. Wood shingles are not good to walk on, they can be split/cracked. A composition roof with plywood underneath is undamaged by limited foot traffic. My yard maintenance person is a short, spidery guy. He walks the roof with his leaf blower and then lays down to pick out debris. He runs water from a hose for the small bits and to clear the downspouts.

No do not under any circumstances pay anyone online to do stuff to your computer especially if you're not sure who they are, check here first and give us the links to where they asked for money. The majority of the time these are scams never give your credit card info.

If your browser is no longer showing the menu bar at the top with file, edit, history,... tools, you may have accidently hit the F11 key up at the top of your keyboard try hitting that key you turn it off and on by hitting that key. That puts it into full screen mode.

If that's not the fix then you likely need to restore your menu bar in your IE, with IE open hit the Alt key on your keyboard you should see the menu items.

It's really helpful whenever you need help to tell us your windows version and your IE version because the directions can be different.
let us know if you got it back

Left my pc in sleep mode, came back a few hours later and I couldn't use my ctrl and mouse to zoom a page.

Couldn't type with any of the keys either!

The favorites keys at the top worked and so did the home, calendar, mail and document buttons along the side!?

There was an icon in the task bar that looked like a small clock that when I would bring it up .. showed keyboard options.

I never opened this tool before leaving the pc .. it apparently came up on it's own?

Regardless .. I couldn't get it to do anything to return the keyboard settings 'and' to top it all off .. I couldn't get rid of the tool from my task bar!!

I couldn't shut it down (tool) no matter what.

I finally had to do a restore which did return everything to normal!

Any ideas on what could have caused this?

Thanks
