Our home is designed to be a modern home style. There's a lot of glasses. The theme of our home is glass, white, and chrome. All door knobs and handles will be chrome, there will be lots of windows and white tile floor .. etc. Our architecture chose our tile for the stairs with glass railing. Tile stairs is kind of costly for us. My question is that are there any other material that I can substitute to get the same look as tile stairs?

I have bought different brands of cleaners to remove some oil stains from my driveway. And they all specified for use on concrete. Nothing works. These are stains that have already absorbed into the concrete, so dry products like kitty llitter is not the answer. I have even tried to use straight bleach, doesn't work either.

We have a little olive tree. It's about 40-50cm high, and was doing very well indoors, we moved it outside and it has slowly been dying- any advice as to what to do with it, should it still be indoors. I think it was in need of repotting- could that be the reason>

There is no obvious puncture and I don't hear any air escaping. I'm thinking maybe it's the seal around the pump, but really I have no idea. Is it a total loss?

Thanks.

I'm going to put a layer of palm fronds on my tiki bar roof and i wondered if there was a way to keep them green. If not, no problem, but would be cool if i could.

I've always wanted to grow pumpkins, big, small, huge, gourds..whatever pumpkins. This is my first pumpkin patch and I was so proud at how they were growing until the other day I went out to look at them. Almost all were torn into by something. I think its either crows or wild turkeys..how do I keep them from destroying the whole garden? Help Please..

My dog just threw up on the carpet and my parents are coming home tonight, so i need to clean up the rather noticeable brown spot from the carpet. I checked my pantry, but I noticed that I was out of cleaning solution, so I need a home remedy to get it out. Thanks for any and all solutions that you can give me.

I have a microfiber couch that I want to protect from spills, but I'm not sure if Scotchguard is ok to use or not. The instructions on the can say not to use it on leather or suede... microfiber is similar to suede in texture, but is made of cloth, not leather. The instructions also say it won't alter the texture or feel of fabric. Do you think it will be ok because it is cloth, or not a good idea because it is similar to suede? Has anyone actually tried this with good results?
