Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Scrub away the thickest buildup. Mix up your cleaning solution. Spray the entire roof thoroughly. Rinse the shingles.

Answer: Use a long-handled brush to scour the surface of the shingles and loosen stuck-on mold while it's dry and brittle. Focus your attention on the heaviest growth and hard-to-reach areas where the shingles overlap—the chemical treatment will take care of the rest. Make sure you’re wearing your respirator during this phase to avoid breathing the mold particles that will be floating around. To get rid of mold and other types of growth for good, it’s best to use a powerful chemical agent like chlorine bleach. You can whip up your own basic cleaner by combining one quart of bleach, one gallon of water, and ¼ cup (60ml) of trisodium phosphate (TSP). For maximum coverage, use a pump sprayer to disperse the solution.  The chlorine will kill the mold-causing bacteria while the TSP will help remove stains and discoloration. Never combine bleach with any product containing ammonia. This can produce toxic chlorine gas which can be extremely hazardous to breathe.  If you’d rather minimize your handling of chemicals, keep an eye out for preformulated treatments such as Wet & Forget or Moss Out at your local home improvement center. Start on lowest row of shingles and work your way backwards to the upper part of the roof. This will prevent the solution from draining in your direction. Continue spraying until you see runoff, then let the chemicals sit for 15-20 minutes to soak in and begin attacking the mold.  Though it may seem like common sense, using a pressure washer is not advisable. The force they generate is enough to damage delicate shingles.  The best time to clean your roof is during cool or cloudy conditions, when the solution won’t evaporate before it’s had a chance to be effective. Just make sure the forecast doesn't call for rain—a heavy downpour could wash away all your hard work. Empty the sprayer and fill it back up with fresh water, or snake the garden hose around to where you are. Sweep the stream over every part of the roof that you just sprayed to wash away the concentrated chemicals. Any remaining traces will dry naturally in a few hours. If not properly rinsed, chemicals like bleach and lye can cause permanent damage or discoloration.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Pick out a cardboard storage box the right shape and size for your cat. Cut a square or circular door-hole in the front of the box. Customise the bed specifically to your cat’s needs, likes and dislikes. Add a soft, comfortable base to the bed.

Answer: Cats feel the cold more than humans so it will help your cat stay warm by providing great insulation from the cold, as well as a safe space to retreat and relax in. You can buy cardboard boxes in a variety of colours, floral, vintage or modern designs. This lets you choose one to suit your personal choice for your home décor. Alternatively you can simply use a cardboard box from the supermarket or local store.  This can be a fun project for a rainy day with your kids when your cat looks like they are in need of a nap. Before you begin take a minute to learn how to keep your cat safe as well as cosy by making their bed a cat-friendly zone. Cut the hole using scissors or with a craft knife. For an older, slower cat it makes sense to start the door-hole at ground level, but a younger cat or kitten who loves to jump will love a circular door-hole hole halfway up the front of the box.  Make sure the door-hole is large enough for your cat to climb in and out in comfort. If your cat loves to squeeze into things keep the hole relatively small. If your cat is sensitive to tight spaces then supersize the door! Does your cat like a quiet dark place? Do they like to look around and watch all the household bustle around them? Would they prefer the inside of the box to feel snug and dark, or sunny and light? Asking these questions will help to you design a bed perfect for your cat.  If your cat likes to look around them, think about cutting the top off the box as well as a door-hole – this will make sure that they don’t feel isolated. If your cat likes privacy then a good idea is to tape a soft piece of fabric over the door-hole as a curtain. To make a chic bed you could use the same fabric to line the box. Add a snack tube. Cut a hole in the top of box with scissors or a craft knife. Fit a paper toilet roll tube in it as a handy snack drop to ensure you don’t disturb their privacy. This can make a real difference in how quickly and happily your cat adapts. Their sensitive whiskers and paw pads mean that they love snuggling into soft textures. Think about your cat’s favourite textures - a pillow, a cushion a furry rug, some fur fabric or even vintage curtains may all suit them.  Add something that smells of you such as an old t-shirt or sweater. Add a favourite toy, or appeal to their sense of smell with a little bit of cat nip.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Digitize any information that you can to avoid carrying it with you. Put business cards in a separate business card holder if you use them. Store your loose change somewhere other than your wallet. Choose a wallet that is a suitable size for your needs.

Answer:
Put the contact information from business cards of people you actually might contact into your phone and get rid of the cards or leave them at home. Use apps on your phone to store card info to limit the number of cards you need to carry around. If you have an iPhone you can use Apple Wallet to carry digital card info, or if you have an Android phone you can use Google wallet. Carrying a bunch of your own business cards to hand out in your wallet is an easy way to bulk it up. Get a separate business card holder to carry your cards and free up space in your wallet. You can also digitize your own business cards by using a mobile app to create digital versions that people can read with their phones by scanning a QR code. Coins take up a lot of space and add a lot of weight to your wallet. Take them out and put them in a jar to save up for a rainy day. If you actually use change and insist on carrying it, then use a wallet that has a small zippered pouch for coins. Get a wallet that has just enough space for your essential items. This will keep you from filling it up with things you don’t actually need. You can get a small front-pocket wallet, that just has room for cards, and carry a small amount of cash separately if needed.
