Q: Pay special attention to the areas you repaired. Consider using the soap water detection method. Then wait a few hours and check again.
A: Re-inflate the mattress. Place a weight on the mattress. Listen for leaks.

Q: When you have to bury a loved one, there are many choices that you have to make. Picking the right stone is an important decision. Take some time to think about the stone that is right for the situation.  First, choice the type of marker you want. You can look for upright, flat, or obelisk markers. Choose your material. Markers come in a variety of materials, such as marble, sandstone, and granite. Granite is cost effective and very sturdy. Talk to the cemetery. Check the regulations about size and type of marker before you make a purchase. There may be guidelines you need to follow. Gravestones do not require regular cleaning. Although it might seem natural to want to frequently clean the stone, resist the urge. Instead, you should clean the stone approximately 18-24 months. Some will require even less frequent cleanings.  Write down the date each time you clean the stone. This will help you prevent over cleaning. Talk to the cemetery about maintenance plans. Some sites may offer service plans. They will take care of the cleaning for you. In addition to properly maintaining the gravestone, there are other ways that you can honor your loved one. Consider decorating the grave site. Doing so can help you feel connected to the departed.  You can leave flowers near the headstone. This is especially nice to do on holidays, anniversaries, or birthdays. You can also leave small mementos at the burial site. For example, a baseball for a sports fan. Ask the cemetery for a list of regulations. Some materials may not be allowed to be left behind.
A: Choose the right stone. Keep a record. Decorate the area.

Q: Overfeeding can led to a snail population boom. Try underfeeding your aquarium inhabitants (only feeding enough for the fish to eat at each feeding) to see if that solves snail overpopulation. The most common, fish-safe chemical used to kill snails is copper sulfate. If this is used, you need to carefully follow the directions for use given on the bottle to make sure your fish survive the treatment. Most times this will cause a massive snail die-off which may foul your aquarium. If so you will need to spend time removing dead snails and adjusting the water to make sure it remains healthy for your fish and any live plants. Various snail traps are available on-line or through pet stores to trap snails. However, a very simple trap is to place a large piece of lettuce in the aquarium, clip the sturdy stem end to the aquarium's side, and leave it overnight. In the morning, remove the leaf and you will most likely find a large number of snails on the underside. Doing this a few nights in a row may help rid your aquarium of vast numbers of snails.  Snails can also be picked out of the aquarium as they are seen. This is most effective when there are smaller number of snails. However, since snails are mainly nocturnal it may not make a dent in the problem. When snails hatch, they are quite small and can climb up the sides of the aquarium. Use a small diameter hose like an air pump hose and start a siphon. Just go along and suck the little ones out. It may need to be done more than once to remove them all, though you can pull out 100 in a couple of minutes.  Repeat the process in a few hours. Scavenger fish are good fish to add to the tank to eat snails. For smaller tanks, try Zebra or Dwarf Chain loaches. For larger tanks, Clown Loaches or Pictus Catfish will do the job. Assassin snails will also eat their snail brethren. They don't reproduce as readily, so generally don't become a problem like other snails. Clearly there are various methods to rid your aquarium of these problem pests. Since snails can quickly overwhelm your tank with their sheer numbers, this should be a priority task. You may need to try a couple in order to get rid of the snails inhabiting your tank. If the situation is totally out of hand or you want a 100% resolution you can do a deep clean of the tank. This means each item in the tank from gravel, to décor, to plants are removed, water is drained and every item cleaned and dried before refilling and restocking the tank.
A: Avoid overfeeding. Use a chemical to kill the snails. Place snail traps in the tank. Add snail predators to your tank. Try multiple solutions. Clean everything.

Q: Woven rugs can either have heavy pile, thin pile, or no pile at all - it’s just the density of the vertical fibers protruding from the rug. The direction that those fibers naturally lay is called the pile direction.  To determine the pile direction, brush your hand along the rug. If you are brushing against the pile, you will feel resistance. Always dust or brush woven rugs in the direction of the pile. Stroking against the pile can cause softer wools to break.
A:
Find the pile direction of your rug.
