Article: Although you need to apply 1 more coat of osmo polyx oil, it's important to let the first coat dry completely. If you think the wood is ready for another coat, check it by rubbing a small area with a green scrubbie pad. If you see white powder flake off, the wood is ready for another coat of oil. If not, wait several more hours and check again. Remove the plastic wrap from the paint tray and brush. Dip the floor brush into the osmo polyx oil and dab it over the wood a few times. Scrub the oil across the floor as you did for the first coat. Remember to start by going against the grain before you work the oil with the grain. Once you've finished the second coat, rub paint thinner through the bristles of the brush. This will prevent the oil from drying in the brush. Then, use the paint thinner to clean out the paint tray. Never throw oil-soaked rags or sanding dust into the trash. Let them dry and place them in a small airtight container such as a coffee can. Pour a water and oil-breakdown detergent over the rags and seal the container. Contact your city about hazardous waste collection. Avoid walking or installing the finished wood for at least 8 to 24 hours after applying the second coat. You'll still need to be careful when you move furniture over the wood or lay rugs down. Wait a few weeks to cover the wood so the oil can cure properly.

Dry the wood for 24 hours. Apply the second coat of osmo polyx oil. Clean the brush and paint tray with paint thinner. Dispose of any oil-soaked materials. Let the floor dry completely.
Article: You can also make a little extra money by selling your old things. There may be a lot of items sitting around in your house that you hardly ever think about, but which can earn you some serious cash. You shouldn't have to part with anything you love or need for sentimental reasons, but if you can get rid of some things you don't really care about, you can earn some extra cash while also doing some inadvertent clean-up around the house. Here are a few things to sell: Sell old books you haven't seen in years to a used book store. Sell your gold jewelry to a reputable store. In a pinch, you can sell your stuff to a pawn shop. Sell Girl Scout cookies or brownies, or set up a lemonade stand in your neighborhood. You could also sell some of your old stuff in a garage sale, or online at a site like eBay. This doesn't mean that you should do anything scandalous, but that you could earn good money and help the health of others if you sell your blood or other parts of your body. Here are some things to sell: You can get money from giving plasma, blood and maybe even hair, if you have long, healthy hair. Sell your sperm or eggs, but be aware that it can be a painful process and that you should only do this in a very safe environment. There's also something to be said for renting your stuff. This is an easy way to make money and to make use of the space or things you don't really need. Here's what you can do: Rent out an empty room. If you have an extra room in your house that you don't really need, rent it to a person you trust. Rent half of your space. Instead of renting a room, you can find a roommate to share your home with you. Having the right roommate will not only cut your rent costs in half, but you will have a new companion, and be able to save on your groceries if you decide to share meals. "Rent" the space in your car. If you're giving your friend a ride, make sure your friend actually pays for your gas. Don't rent your car because you can get in a lot of trouble if something goes wrong when your friend is driving it.

Article: You can use a ceramic bowl with slits in it, or you can use the original plastic basket that the blueberries came in. The container will need to have small holes in it to provide adequate ventilation. Avoid using anything made from metal. Blueberries can react with metal, leading to discoloration and stains on both the berries and the metal container. If you are using a larger container, such as a bowl, then use several sheets of paper towel; you do not need to fold them. The paper towel will help soak up moisture and prevent mold from developing. Avoid keeping them in the coldest part of the fridge, or they will get damaged from the cold. The best place to store the berries is on the middle or bottom shelf. Try not to keep them in the crisper. Most crispers are too humid and do not provide enough circulation. This could lead to mold. When kept in the fridge, blueberries can last five to ten days. The coldest part of the fridge is the top.

Find a basket-like container and wash it well. Fold a paper towel into quarters and place it in the bottom of the basket. Add the blueberries on top of the paper towel. Store the blueberries in the refrigerator.
