Bring your old zipper with you or take a picture of it to help you find the best match.

Problem: Article: Due to their small size, quail can live in most sorts of housing including guinea pig hutches, rodent cages, chicken coops, and aviaries. There’s two ways to acquire a house, you either buy one or build one.  It’s important to give quail no less than 1 square foot of floor space. A longer cage allows your quail room to roam but a smaller cage can cause them stress from close confinement. Make sure that the spacing between the wiring is at most 1/2 an inch, as quails can squeeze their head through anything larger. Owing to their tiny feet, they do not do well with wire floor grids, as they can fall and slip through, causing discomfort and possible injury Quail can be kept in any sort of housing but their home does need a few things to make it safe and suitable for your quail. These things include:  The home must have easy access so that you can grab the birds when necessary, feed and provide water for the quail every day, and clean the cage with no troubles every week. The quails home should have shelter from the rain, wind, hail, snow and the sun. Keep in mind that although the cage should have shelter from the wind and sun, it still needs plenty of fresh air and a bit of sunlight. If you cannot obtain housing with shelter then you could try covering a water-proof sheet (e.g. tarpaulin) over the housing to keep it safe. The home should be secure and predator proof. Dogs, wild cats, rats, snakes, raccoons and foxes will eventually kill your quail if the housing isn’t predator-proof or secure enough. It’s also possible for small dogs to dig under the housing and get in, birds can peck at the quail from the wiring and raccoons can reach through the wiring and grab the quail. Keep in mind that if you are going to do this then it is best to keep the quails and the small birds in a fairly large aviary.  Housing them in a simple bird cage can cause stress on both the quail and the small bird. You get advantages and disadvantages with this option. The advantages are that you do not need to spend a lot of money on a home for your quail and the quail will clean up the seed that the birds drop on the floor. The disadvantages are that the quail might attack the other birds or get attacked themselves, there is more mess to clean up in the aviary, and when the quail breed and hatch out chicks, the chicks might get attacked by the other birds in the aviary. Quail need a calm, warm yet cool, quiet and undisturbed place to stay to be happy. They should also be housed away from predators including pets. A suitable place to house quail is under a tree during summer or in a garage/shed during winter. For their habitat bedding you can use pine shavings, fir wood chips, sand, newspaper pellets, grass pellets, Timothy hay or non-skid kitchen draw liners. It is highly recommended that you give the quails some straw/hay to make their nests with. This will encourage them to start laying eggs and they may even want to have some chicks. You may think that quails can't fly, but when frightened, they can fly straight up to the roof.  So for their cage, make sure to add padding to the top to stop the quails from damaging their head if they do fly up quickly. Quail need more than just bedding to keep them happy. Some items they need are:  Water container. This shouldn't be too big or deep as quail need to have easy access to it and not be in danger of drowning. Feeder. The quail should be able to get to the feeder easily as well as the water container. Hiding spots. You can purchase a couple of large hamster huts and place them in the quail’s cage. Quail love a place to retreat to when they feel frightened or think they are in danger. Sand tub. Quail love dust bathing on a daily basis, the sand also prevents annoying parasites such as mites. Because quail make a mess when they dust bathe it is best to keep the sand tub away from the water container. Small plants. If your quails live on dirt or grass, growing or potting a couple of plants in the housing will make your quails very happy! Remember, quails are curious and love different types of plants in their habitat, just make sure the plants aren't toxic to them.
Summary: Purchase a suitable home for your quail. Make sure the housing is the best it can be for your quail. Be aware that you can house your quail with finches, canaries and budgies. Place the housing in a suitable environment. Add bedding to the home. Add padding to the top of the quail's cage (optional). Add a few other items for your quail.

Problem: Article: This will prevent your punching bag from tearing. Don’t worry if you cut the clothes up into pieces during the process. You won’t be able to see them once they’re in the bag. Don’t pour sand or sawdust directly into your punching bag since it can damage the bag over time. Instead, pour it into plastic resealable bags, like 1 US quart (950 mL) sandwich bags. After you add the sand or sawdust, seal the bags all the way so nothing pours out. The duct tape will make the bags more resistant to your punches. Wrap the duct tape all the way around the bags, including the sealed openings, so they’re completely covered with tape. To weigh clothes or pieces of fabric, place them in large trash bags and weigh each trash bag on a scale. If you’re adding sand or sawdust to your punching bag, weigh the individual bags on a scale. Then, add up all of the individual weights to get the total weight of your filling.  If the total weight is less than your desired punching bag weight, you’ll need to prepare more filling. Add more sand or sawdust to make your punching bag denser, or add more clothes or fabric to increase the weight without significantly increasing the density. Remember that your punching bag should weigh around 0.5 pounds (0.23 kg) per 1 pound (0.45 kg) you weigh, but the ideal weight ultimately depends on your skill level and fitness goals. For example, if you weigh 200 pounds (91 kg), your punching bag should weigh around 100 pounds (45 kg). If you’re new to boxing, you could try 80–90 pounds (36–41 kg) to start.
Summary:
Cut buttons, zippers, and other metal pieces off of the clothes you’ll be using. Pour your sand or sawdust into resealable bags if you’re using any. Wrap any sand or sawdust bags you’re using with duct tape so they don’t rip. Weigh the filling to make sure you have enough for your bag.
