Problem: Article: If your plaster is very old, there may be places where it has popped off the lath. Place a plaster washer around a drywall screw, and use this (along with a screwdriver or hand drill) to reattach your plaster to the layer beneath, known as the lath. Any plaster that is crumbling needs to be disposed of. Use a putty knife to scrape off loose plaster, and vacuum the dust particles away. If you do not have a putty knife, a firm bristle brush or very coarse sandpaper can work. Chances are, your plaster will have some cracks. Small cracks (less than the width of your finger) can be repaired quickly and easily using paintable caulk. Simply inject this into any cracks, and smooth over with a a putty knife or trowel.  Paintable caulk can be purchased at home improvement stores. Follow the instructions on your package for drying time. In general, you will want your caulk to dry for at least 4-6 hours before you paint. Cover large cracks and holes with a layer of fiberglass mesh tape. Then use a trowel to work a coat of lime putty into the opening. Finish with a second coat of lime putty. Use your trowel to smooth out the surface, so that it is flush with the wall.  Lime putty and fiberglass mesh tape can be purchased at home improvement stores. Depending on how thick your patch is, give this anywhere from 12-24 hours to fully dry. When the patch is completely dry, use rub coarse sandpaper over its surface until it is smooth to the touch. If you run your hands over the wall with your eyes closed, you don’t want to feel the location of the patch. Moisten a soft sponge with clean, warm water and wipe down the wall to remove any dust or debris. Rinse the sponge and repeat this process several times until the wall is clean. Give it 20-30 minutes to dry.
Summary: Reattach plaster with plaster washers and drywall screws. Remove loose plaster with a putty knife. Fill small cracks with paintable caulk. Patch holes with lime putty and fiberglass mesh tape. Sand down the surface of the patch. Wipe down the patch with water and a sponge.

Problem: Article: If you have to hand rear a puppy, be prepared to provide hard work and commitment, especially in the first 2 weeks of the puppy’s life. They will require 24-hour care in the beginning.  You will probably need to take time off work to care for the puppies, as they will require near-constant care for the first 2 weeks. Take this into consideration before breeding your bitch. If you can't commit to caring for orphan pups then don't breed the mother. If your puppies are orphans, you’ll need to provide them with a suitable replacement milk.  The ideal is replacement bitch's milk. This comes in a powdered form (Lactol) that is reconstituted with boiled water (very similar to the way baby's formula is made).  The supplement is available from your veterinary clinic or major pet stores. Do not use cow's milk, goat's milk, or human infant formula. These are not suitable formulas for puppies. You can temporarily use a mix of evaporated milk and boiled water while you search for proper bitch replacement milk. Use 4 parts canned evaporated milk to 1 part boiled water for a feed. Puppies need to suckle every 2 hours, which means that you need to feed them 12 times in 24 hours. Follow the directions on the packaging to make up the milk substitute (typically 30 grams of powder is mixed with 105 ml of boiled water). A hungry puppy is a noisy puppy. He will squeal and whine, which would ordinarily summon his mother for nursing. If the puppy is wriggly and whiny, and it hasn’t eaten in 2-3 hours, it may well be hungry and should be fed. The shape of his belly may also give you a clue. Because puppies have little body fat, when his stomach is empty, his belly will be flat or caved in slightly. When his stomach is full, his stomach will resemble a barrel. Teats designed for puppies are softer than ones designed for humans. These can be purchased from vet clinics and major pet stores. In an emergency, you can use an eyedropper to feed milk to the puppy. However, this option should be avoided since there is a risk of giving the puppy too much air with the milk. This can cause his tummy to swell painfully. Follow the guidelines on the milk substitute packaging to determine approximately how much to feed the puppy. A good rule of thumb, however, is to allow the puppy to feed until he is no longer hungry. He will stop eating when he is full. The puppy will likely fall asleep and then demand the next meal when he is hungry again, or in about 2-3 hours. When the puppy is done feeding, wipe its face with cotton wool soaked in warm water. This mimics the bitch cleaning the puppy and reduces the risk of skin infections. Wash all equipment that you use for feeding the puppies and sterilize all of it. Use a liquid disinfectant designed for baby equipment, or a steam sterilizer. Alternately, you can boil the equipment in water. Newborn puppies do not urinate or defecate spontaneously but need to be stimulated to do so. The bitch usually performs this function by licking the puppy's perianal region (under the tail where the dog's anus is). This usually occurs before and after the puppy feeds. Wipe the puppy's rear end with a pad of cotton wool soaked in warm water, before and after each feed. This should stimulate the puppy to release feces and urine. Wipe away any feces or urine that comes out. As the newborn puppy grows older, the stomach will get bigger and can hold more food. By the third week, feed the puppy every 4 hours or so. Use your hand to feel the puppy’s body. A chilled puppy will feel cool or col to the touch. It might also be non-responsive and very quiet. An overheated puppy will have red ears and tongue. It may also be unusually squirmy, which is the puppy’s best effort at getting away from any heat source.  A newborn's body temperature should be between 94-99 degrees Fahrenheit. This temperature will rise to 100 degrees Fahrenheit at 2 weeks of age. You don’t need to take the dog’s temperature with a thermometer, however. Check with your veterinarian if you have concerns or questions. If you are using a heat lamp, be sure to check the puppies regularly for flaky or red skin. Remove the lamp if this happens. Newborn puppies are not able to regulate their own body temperature, and they are prone to getting chilled. With Mom not there you need to provide a heat source.  Adjust the room temperature so that you are comfortable in shorts and a t-shirt. Provide additional heat in the puppy’s box by placing a heating pad under the bedding. Set the heat to “low” to avoid the risk of overheating. As a newborn, the puppy cannot move away if it gets too hot.
Summary: Be ready to provide 24-hour care. Purchase a milk substitute. Feed newborn puppies every 2 hours. Watch for signs that the puppy is hungry. Use a bottle and teat designed for use with puppies. Let the puppy eat until he stops feeding. Wipe the puppy’s face after each feeding. Sterilize all feeding equipment. Wipe the puppy’s bottom before and after each feeding. Start spacing feedings apart at 3 weeks. Check to make sure the puppies are warm enough. Adjust the room temperature.

Problem: Article: These paints are truly temporary dyes. You brush them in or use your hands to rub them in where you want them. You can even create streaks with different colors. Keep in mind, though, these colors will only last for a night or so. Another option is to use a neon hairspray. Like the paint, this color change will only last the night. It's very simple to apply. Simply spray into your hair where you want the color. Make sure not to breathe it in as you spray. You can also use glow-in-the-dark gel to add a bit of pizzazz to your hair for a night. The bonus of this method is that some gels even work in total darkness, rather than in just black lights. Simply spike it into your hair like you would normal gel.
Summary:
Try glow-in-the-dark skin and hair paint. Spray a neon color into your hair. Add glow-in-the-dark hair gel.
