ryong128 asked: I am planning on building a flat-bottom boat about 12ft.max. (http://www.vintageprojects.com/boats/jon-boat.pdf) to use on a private pond.
I wanted to know what I can use to paint, cover or seal the wood that is economical, easy to use and purchase.
And does anyone recommend this boat?Krishan

<div><em><strong>corona75</strong> asked: </em><br/><br/><br/>I have a fountain that is being repaired. It will take entirely too much work to completely remove all the paint. Any chips or cracks are being repaired, but now that the pieces are about finished, I am ready to paint. The problem is that nobody can give me a definite answer about which paint will bond to cement (cast stone) as well as previously painted surfaces. I bought some pool paint from Lowe&#8217;s that recommended sanding any previously painted surfaces with 80 grit prior to using. I was going to paint this fountain with at least 3 coats of this stuff and ensure that it completely drys between application. I was also considering one last coat with a sealer, but I have no idea about that either. Will my plan work, or can you make some suggestions. I&#8217;m looking to hear from a professional in paint or painting ponds/fountains/pools. Thanks.<br/><br/>Edgar</div>

Usually we have the turtles in a pond ouside&#8230;.but about 3 months ago we made a pond in the house fo rthem during the winter months incase the pond would freeze all the way to the bottom. I put him in a lil cage by himself for about 25 hours and now he&#8217;s fine. This is the 2nd time this has happened. Could it be that he&#8217;s trying to go into hybernation? Do i need to raise the Temp. in the pond to prevent this?<br/><br/>Nader</div>
