Question: Where can I find free used magazines...?

I am looking for anything related to architect, house designs, house plans, wood projects, home designing magazines or books. I can not afford subcriptions and I would love to take old to new magazines/books in good condition for my interest, but where can I find them? I tried posting on Craigslist, and no luck
Some of the magazines that I am interested are:
Architectural Digest
Dwell
Residential Architect
Fine Homebuilding
Custom Home
Remodeling
Interior Design
Architecture Week
Architecture
House Beautiful
This Old House
Fine Woodworking

Answer: Try the local library. I know ours gives theirs away after awhile

Question: Has anyone seen this awesome way to display morning glories?

Last summer I saw a home where someone had grown what I think were morning glories in the most beautiful display. It looked like they had several wires or strands of twine secured to the ground at one end, with the other other end sweeping up at an angle, and attached to a porch or tree. These beautiful blue flowered vines were climbing this "trellis", sweeping about 8 feet. Has anyone seen this? Is there any trick to doing this? Does anyone have a picture of this type of display?

Answer: You can use Bird Netting for this. You get it at most L&G Centers. You can cut it to shape with scissors and use a staple gun to hold it in place. Depending on the size they may get pretty heavy so you may have to brace it from underneath later in the summer. I use morning glories on an arch. It makes quite a display.

Question: was doing this a wrong thing to do?

while i was walking home,i found some wet cement,almost dry-i had never encountered wet cement before,and took the chance to draw a little picture.
-i drew a heart,with wings coming out of it,and i thought it looked quite pretty for something on the footpath,but then a man drave past,stopped and came back and started yelling at me that i was one of those discusting graffiti punks?and was threatning to find out where i lived because i was 'doing a horrible thing'
i tolf him to f**k off and walked away,and he drove past twice,freaking me out,but i still went home,making sure he didnt see where i lived.
anyway,was what i did wrong?drawing a swirley heart into some plain cement?because i didnt feel it was wrong...is it wrong to feel it wasnt wrong?XD
it wasnt on someones property!it was on the sidewalk,not near anyones house or anything!and no,i wont go on to spray paint on people's fences,or vandilised peoples cars,i just had never encountered wet cement before,and wanted to do it.

Answer: Skye your swirly heart should be on everyone's sidewalk and the mean man who yelled at you obviously was a Philistine who knows nothing.

Why don't you get a sharpie and start drawing them on peoples cars?
