However, I don't know how to properly clean and sharp- en my garden tools. I have high-quality garden shears, clippers and other utensils, but they are now dull and rusted. It would be expensive and wasteful to buy new tools, so I'd like to know how to care for them properly so I can keep them in top shape from this point forward. -- Laura, Ten- nessee Dear Laura: The Family Handy- man is a website that is an excellent guide, with step-by-step photos for how to sharpen garden tools proper- ly. You will need a good file, and this site will advise you on exactly how to use it to bring your tools back to new condition. Go to http://www.FamilyHandyman.com, and type "garden tools" in the search box. As for proper care, take time to clean your tools after each use. Store them off the ground and in a dry place. Remove any rust that forms on a tool with steel wool or very fine sandpaper. Wipe the metal parts down with oil or WD-40. Keep wooden handles smooth by sanding them often and applying linseed oil (available at home improvement centers). Before storing your tools for the winter, clean the tools extra well, and make sure they are dry. Then coat all metal surfaces with oil. Motor oil, linseed oil and mineral oil all work well. Dear Mary: I recently paid off my mortgage a number of years early. I would like to know how that will affect my credit score. Thank you. -- Valerie, New York Dear Valerie: This is that shows what a dealership paid for a car bought at an auction? -- Jody, e-mail great news, as a home that is paid in full at the very least guarantees you a rent-free retirement. And it will only do good things for your score, too. When you pay off a debt, the creditor reports it "paid as agreed" or uses words to that effect. This is a positive entry that boosts your score and remains in your file indefinitely, unlike negative events (e.g., paying late), which can be reported for up to two, seven or 10 years, depending on the nature of the infraction. Congratulations on this major accomplishment! Dear Mary: Is there a website Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate Dear Jody: I am aware of one possible option for you.
