hChange digital photosto canvas 'paintings'
When you visit www.canvasondemand.com, you can turn that cute digital photo of your pet in the rain into a painting on canvas, but Renoir would disapprove.
It's all done by computer, even the addition of texturized "brush strokes" on the surface.
Simply upload your photo following the handy-dandy instructions and wait a couple of days for your masterpiece to arrive in the mail.
If you are petless, convert your baby, wedding, family, college grad, vacation and ordinary fooling-around photos into coveted kitsch.
An 11-by-14-inch "gallery wrapped" canvas with light brush strokes runs about $105. In gallery wrapping, the canvas covers the frame edges on all four sides.
Pressure-treated woodtakes special handling
Planning on building a deck in the near future? You are going to need some built-in pest control.
To solve your biggest potential problem -- rot and termites -- use special lumber that's been pressure-treated with pesticides to prevent such damage.
Pressure-treated lumber can be cut and can take nails or screws as any other wood can.
But there are special precautions you should take when using it. First, wear gloves. Pressure-treated lumber often is rough, and its splinters are also treated with pesticide. Always wear a filter mask to avoid breathing in treated sawdust when making cuts. And treat all sawed-off ends with a wood preservative containing pesticide.
