The next best thing to an extra pair of hands just might be Ryobi's AIRgrip laser level.
The level has a suction base that lets you stick it to walls without marring the surface. A small battery-powered motor creates a vacuum on the bottom of a rubber pad, allowing the level to adhere either vertically or horizontally for several hours.
The laser light is visible up to 30 feet, and the rotating head lets you aim the laser in a variety of directions.
The AIRgrip laser level is available only at Home Depot and sells for $39.97.
Howard Miller clockscome in many styles
Some are grand and ornate, others, trendy and practical. But, certainly, all of the latest Howard Miller floor and wall clocks are distinctive.
One of the more stately floor clocks is the elegant Victorian-style Veronica ($5,355), with cherry finish and polished brass dial and pendulum. Featuring a silver chapter ring with brass Arabic numerals, astrological dial and backlit stars, the Veronica has a triple-chime Kieninger movement and measures 871/4 inches high.
On the trendier end is the metal City Centre ($855), an 883/4-inch-high lamppost-style indoor/outdoor floor clock. An aged iron finish adorns its base, post and head. And with identical dials situated on both front and back, the clock is functional in a garden, back yard, porch or inside any room.
Other new clocks include the Magdalen ($225), a 323/4-inch-high wrought-iron wall clock with a pendulum peep hole; the Earnest ($1,175), a distressed-cherry-finished wall clock with brass pendulum; and the Brewster ($1,140), an elegant wall clock with beveled glass and wood pendulum.

Septic tank reminder
There's no such thing as a "free flush" -- sooner or later it'll need attention.
With municipal sewers, just flush and forget it.
With septic tanks, it's flush and remember. They need attention sooner or later.
Those who live in cities with sewer systems pay for this privilege with a small monthly bill, and those with a septic-tank system on their property do not.
However, it is not really free because the bill comes due somewhere down the line. While a septic tank processes waste to some degree, it needs pumping out every four to five years, or so.
If you don't remember the last time you had this done, then you'd better call in a pro to check it out.
Before you do, know the location of your tank and the drain field connected to it.
The number of trucks that have fallen into or damaged a septic tank while delivering materials or pumping it out are many.
