Here's a much better price :-) A 4-foot-tall, 50-foot-long roll of 1/4-inch mesh galvanized hardware cloth on Amazon is $73, which includes free shipping. It's the best price I've found anywhere, except for the occasional seller on Craig's List. Here's the link: Amazon's 4x50-foot, 1/4-inch roll I got mine through Craig's List from a great local farmer who had some new stock he had never used or opened. It was a quick 35-minute drive to his place in O'Fallon or Shiloh, Illinois, really close to SWIC. I'm in Missouri. A 1/2-inch mesh roll is $13 more on Amazon for some reason. A 100-foot roll of 1/2-inch mesh on Amazon is $155 to $177 which includes shipping: 4x100-foot roll of 1/2-inch mesh I'm a cheap guy so I searched everywhere before buying the hardware cloth like: Froogle.com PriceGrabber.com The Big Box stores Ebay.com Local hardware stores like Tru Value (did you know different local Tru Value stores sell at different prices. I guess each is individually franchised. Thanks for the Bennecky's Tru Value tip, Robertz6--Bennecky's Tru Value has better pricing than the Tru Value close to me.) Amazon.com and Craig's List and maybe a couple other places I've forgotten....See MoreOyster Shell/Hardware Cloth affect on roots of roses?
Comments (9)Kaye - you mentioned filling the cage with mulch to hide the 1" of exposed cloth...something DH would like alot. I assume you are recommending that outside the cage, I should keep the ground 1" below the cage but that I can hide the cage somewhat by willing the cage inside with mulch to the top. Kaye and Sammy - how are you finding the 12" height of your cages. All my vole damage is from underneath. Even in the snow, there is never any damage above the dirt. I like the 12" height because you can get 3 runs out of the 36" wide hardware cloth and it would be easier to dig up a rose and move it. But I don't want the voles to go up underneath the cage. So I was considering going 18" in height but thinking that might be overkill. Thoughts? I also have a young tree, similar to a crab apple, that is getting chewed on by voles from underneath. It is still leafing and you wouldn't know what was going on underneath. But I can tell based on the vole holes near by and the fact that it is not solid in its hole like other trees. It is unrealistic to dig it up and DH is going to start trapping. But is there anything I can do or give the tree to help it recover? I hate to loose it....See Morecleaning non-slip surface in tub
Comments (69)While it looks like there is a variety of successful approaches, I think the reason some have success with one approach and others don't is the nature of the stains. Some stains are simple body oils stuck in the texture of the nonslip pads. Using something alkaline like shampoo should work for those to soften the stains and allow them to be scrubbed lightly. WD-40 should also dissolve those and lift them. Other stains are based on hard water build up of calcium. The calcium can't be seen because it is white but the calcium will catch and hold the body oils. If you cannot get the calcium off, the stains remain. This is where an acidic approach would work. Barkeeper's Friend is oxalic acid with a mild abrasive. If the stains are calcium based, this should wash them away very easily. I would like to suggest another approach to the plain body oils with no calcium build up. There is a cleaner used in the automotive detailing industry called Super Clean. It comes in a purple spray bottle at auto stores, hardware stores, Walmart, etc. It is basically 409 on steroids. If you have trouble breathing when using 409, then you will really have trouble breathing around Super Clean. I bought some for my car and, of course, it works great. Then I read the label and decided to try it in the kitchen. The first thing I tried it on was burned on grease on a stainless pan - the bottom of the pan. I sprayed it on and let it sit for a "dwell time" of 10 minutes. Then I ran hot water from the faucet into the pan and 99% of it just rinsed clean with no scrubbing. I thought maybe I had a pan with grease that looked burned on but was just sort of already softened, but no. I tried it again and again with the same results. So that is my experience with Super Clean. I thought someone might give it a try on their tub texture spots and report back here with results....See MoreClothes Hampers - help!
Comments (37)I purchased this canvas one from Winners a few years ago, they had some other ones too I liked. This is great because you can close the top so it forms a hole to dump your laundry through and then when you lift up the black part it forms handles so you can carry it to your washing machine. It is fairly big though but I love it. So much easier for me to carry it down the basement with one hand than trying to carry a laundry basket down. Edited to add the top opens right up so it is a big bag and closes with magnets...See Morecaflowerluver
