We are always finding spiders inside my pool. Is there such thing as spiders that live in water? Are they dangerous... Just now I saw one very close to my leg as I was swimming. It was brown. It sort of looked like a brown recluse but I am not sure what kind of spider it was. I also tried keeping underwater to see if it would die....... but it didnt. I smashed it instead! Anybody else have this problem?

This is the first brandy new laundry set I will be purchasing and would love for it to last for years hopefully with no immediate problems. I also don't want to spend a fortune for all the bells and whistles these appliances have these days. I've narrowed it down to these -- LG 7cycle,Whirlpool Duet Ultra, GE King or the Maytag Neptune. All reviews appreciated-thanks

Sound in wall like pipes expanding when water upstairs runs. Happens while water running and for a while after water turned off. Is there a way to tell if pipes are leaking w/o tearing down wall or waiting for drywall to crumble? Or is there another explanation for sound?

It's the same one that keeps triggering the alarms. I unplugged the ones in my kids rooms so that they wouldn't go off while they are sleeping. My husband thinks that this is why it's continuing to go off. BUT, it was going off before I unplugged them. And now it's only going off every hour or so. Any suggestions? Is it a wiring problem?

I live in a shared home, and someone who has just moved in smokes. I don't think they smoke in the house, but every time I step out of my room, I'm greeted with the smell of smoke. As a non-smoker, I find it very off putting.

What are some ways to get rid of the smell? I've found this weekend I've confined myself to my own room because I can't stand being in any room that smells smokey.

I am considering adding an extra room onto the back of my house. The room would be roughly 12 x 12 feet with a couple of windows. It would need electrical wiring, but not plumbing. I would like to have it extend off the master bedroom into the backyard (I plan to use it as an office). The house was built in the late 90s and is wood frame with stucco exterior and a spanish tile roof.

Has anybody in the Phoenix area ever done an extension to their home of this sort? Approximately how much would such an additional room cost and how long would it take to do?

Some trees attract radiation from the atmosphere more than others. With concern for depletion of the ozone, I wonder which trees to plant around my house for protection, and which to avoid. Do you know? I live halfway between the equator and North pole, 100 miles from the ocean.

I got an estimate to cut down 15 pine trees (about 20in. around at the bottom and about 50 ft tall - they're tall and skinny) grind the stumps, and push all to a burn pile for $1,000. Is this a good price or should I look for more estimates? They are located between my 2 neighbors/fences.
