Question:

Can you advise me on varnishing my wooden front door?

Hasn't been done for over 15 years. The door is on my porch and pretty well shielded from the weather, unless we get a blowing snow storm. Then the porch gets covered by snow and some does get on the door. 1. Is there special type of varnish for this? Use diluted or full strength?2. How do you apply it . roller, brush, a cloth, foam rubber brush?3. Door has no sign of wax on it but should it be cleaned with anything? What?4. After varnishing, should a poly-coat of some kind be put on to preserve protect it?5. What kind of weather best for this? Should it be dry and warm? Avoid a damp day?Door just has a few traces of last finish. It looks like bare wood. Also looks very dry. There are probably new types of varnishes made these days which would be right for this job.I can't do many things these days, but I think I might be able to varnish the door. Just afraid of making it look worse. Any advice you can give me would be so appreciated. Thanks.

Answer:

You can add zippers, chains, d rings, straps, bum flaps, studs, or anything else to a pair of clothes to make them punk/scene. When the scene movement was started, the most important thing was to shock others with hairstyles and clothes. To try and shock people try adding bright colors to your clothes, such as painting one pant leg green, adding band patches to a pair of pants, or writing on your clothes with marker. Use your imagination. Girls can use shoe laces (any color) and turn them into chokers. If your clothes fall apart, duct tape or safety pin them back together. its scene. i hope this helps some.- hayley (:
Ok, you may just heard the strut pulling itself up to compensate for the fast hit on the speed bump. Not to worry much, but just glance under the car and look for anything broken like the stabilizer links, or any suspension part. good luck.
They aren't a magic solution, but they do make a big difference. Don't go thinking you can drive as if you were on dry roads - that ain't gonna happen. But you will regain a fair portion of the control the snow takes away. Be sure to remove them when the roads dry out and snow's done - snows wear out very quickly; they're very soft so they can grab the snow better. Your regular tires might go 60,000 miles, you'd be lucky to get 20,000 on snows. I'm a Minnesotan. Some years I do bother, and some years I don't. Lately I don't because I have AWD, but if it were down to just driving the truck, I'd run snows, you bet.
