How can I make the best use of my old newspaper?
I used to collect old newspapers and then sell them to the recycling center for $1 per each 100 lbs. At today's gas prices, the gas alone would more than eat up any potential profits. To dump them as trash would have been a waste of natural resources. I don't have a wood burning stove or furnace, otherwise I would have burned them as fuel. Newspapers are too tough to be used as toilet paper, and they tend to clog up the drain. Please help me save our trees and our forests.

You can use newspaper as a weed barrier which works great this time of year. All you have to do is dampen it and lay it on the ground. Then apply top soil or mulch over it and it will block weeds until it composts back into the ground! Spread the word to your neighbors and maybe they will take some off your hands for the same purpose....(Answered by randysguitarlessons) |

Sure, many contractors only deal in these type homes. Check your phone book, ask at contractor building supply stores.....for example:let's say you want higher end windows in your new home........go to the Pella, Andersen, etc window people and ask about contractors.
By all means check out prospective contractors with the BBB as well as state board. You don't want someone who's license is in question. Also look at their previous homes, talk to the homeowners.
You are talking about a long term relationship with someone...and involving a lot of money. You must be confident ...(Answered by fluffernut) |
