Country Life& garden Project Home: Back to school The start of a new school year is just around the cor- ner. And while most of our little ones are just moving up in grade, some of them are actually moving out of the home and into a dorm room or apartment for the start of college. And while they could probably still use some new clothes, it's also important to properly outfit their new digs.

Using a portable lamp can rescue your stu- dent from eyestrain, headaches and other possi- ble future eye problems. From desk lamps and table lamps to floor lamps, proper lighting as a primary or secondary source of lighting is a wonderful gift that makes perfect sense.

During that time we had a rug under a coffee table. This week we removed the rug and the wood floor was a much lighter color. What can we do to have the floor return to its origi- nal matching finish? A: It probably would involve less work if you just let the area darken to match the floor that was exposed to the sun's UV rays. I've seen homeowners use bleach to lighten wood floors with some success but I wouldn't do it myself. There are, I am sure, products available on the Internet that might progressively lighten the floor, but most of the solutions I've seen involve refinishing all the floor. My advice is to leave well enough alone if it isn't hurting anything. Right now I am trying to make some small improve- ments to make the house more appealing. One area that needs improvement is the patio. The Q: I plan to sell my house in the next year or two. previous owners poured the 200-square-foot patio in one large chunk, probably about 15 years ago. There is a large crack that runs horizontally across the patio, which was filled with some kind of caulk that only serves to make it more noticeable. Is there any way to make this patio better, short of digging it all up and repouring it? Is there any way the crack can be repaired and the patio painted or the con- crete stamped with a design? A: The fact that the crack runs across the patio is a sign to me that the job was badly done and no amount of patching will fix it. The answer, then, is no, in my opinion, but I'd get a second one from a contractor or two before you took my thoughts to the bank.
