What to do with old baskets?
Comments (5)Just slapped it on, inside and out, covering it up. I then covered it with wet newspaper and a plastic bag, and waited. It cured, and I put a fig tree in it. It did not look bad and it lasted well. It was pretty heavy but then I used some Quickcrete somebody was throwing out. An old basket makes a nice small raised biodegradable planter; fill with soil and stick on the ground. Drains well and lets your plant develop until it is big enough to put roots through the rotting pot into the regular soil....See Moreold easter baskets
Comments (1)Sure, you can use old baskets to start seeds. It's a great idea You might want to line it with something to control water flowing out. Plastic liner would work well, but you would have to be careful of overwatering. If you don't mind a little drainage you can use something more porous like fabric, coffee filters or moss, or nothing even. As for the tea bags (assume they are used), they would do better in a compost heap, worm box, or buried in the flower bed....See MoreHow to tell if apple baskets are old (pic heavy)

Comments (3)I'm going to get a pro service in to clean my floor (doing a 1950's bathroom restore) - have a 50+ year old mosaic floor tile. In the Chicago area, there are quite a few companies that offer the service including franchises (e.g. Sir Grout) and independents. I'm probably going with an independent found via Angie's List. Can't comment yet on results, but videos show impressive results. Do a search on youtube for 'grout cleaning'. Below is an example. I had also asked in my post for comments about experiences with grout cleaning companies and didn't get any responses. Most bathroom projects here are complete replacement. Here is a link that might be useful: Grout Cleaning Video This post was edited by DreamingoftheUP on Tue, Mar 11, 14 at 8:00...See MoreCarol_from_ny
