How about a ground anchor ? It's what we use to tie down planes, and what utilities use for anchors for the cables that stabilize power poles. Homey, etc. sell them - a long steel rod with an eye on

Forgot to mention... They come in different sizes - one made of 1/2" rod and about 3 feet long should be fine for what you're doing. And you may want to angle it into the ground, as it will tend to b

I don't know about regular paints, but I'll toss in some info that may be of use and interest, including the guy with the airplane. Their floor coatings have a really good reputation. And actually,

Setting the thermostat lower will save more if it's set back for the same amount of time. The difference comes into play when you have to set the temperature up far sooner in order to have the house
