OK dad, I've been wihtout a lawnwower most of the summer. I want to take one last swipe at the acre with the push mower and then use the lawn sweep to clean it up. If I take the bag off the push mower what kind of trouble do you think I'll find if I try to chop up the very long 1'+ bent over grass and the leaves on top of it?

Can I use any windshield washer fluid I want for my car, or do I have to match it to whatever remains in the resevoir?

Dad, how can I get pressure treated lumber to dry without warping? (self.askdad)

I bought lumber for a screened patio, and I need it to dry so I can paint it before construction. It's been sitting in a neat stack in the garage for almost a month now, and some parts still feel damp.

I'm afraid that laying them out on the driveway during a sunny day would cause the boards to warp.

I've got a table saw, a cordless power drill, and wood screws. I was going to run to Home Depot for the wood and any other supplies I might need.

Any tips?
