I have a manufactured home with forced air heat. There is a smell under the house and it is coming through the heater vents. Smells like something died. Also there is a small water leak under the house, could this be causing the smell?

Ok. I have an idea but am not sure. Maybe someone with more knowledge can help me out with this. I refuse to hang dry laundry in the basement of my house in NY. However, my elderly that resides now at the house insists on doing her laundry and hanging it in my basement and the result is as follows (this is just what I suspect):

The garment is not soft
The garment smells like a wet dog
The basement feels damp and humid
The cloth it self feels like it can give you skin irritation
It smells as though it would be evident of fungus or bacterial growth (this is not proven)

Now as a person with allergies all my life and a very picky and cleanly way of doing things, is my speculations correct? Is this a safe and clean method. Growing up my mother hang dried outside and that was fine but in an old ancient basement of a early 1930's house?

Ok let me know some truth behind my speculations. I know I'm a neat freak but my nose and conscience tells me that her method is off

My wife and i and our 8 month old son are moving from Collinsville OK to Seattle WA in 2 weeks. We have been planning this move for months but we recently have started geting rustrated with the amount of help we are not getting from UHaul. It also seems that everyone else, is twice as expensive. We want to get there with our stuff (about 1.5 bedrooms worth) and our midsized car.

These are the options we have considered: U Pack, PODS, trading our 2 cars for an SUV (Ford Explorer?) and hauling a trailer with our stuff in it. But we don't want a crappy SUV. Something that will be reliable. It will be our only transportation besides the bus and our feet in Seattle.

I just had an estimate done and I was quoted a price based on 1 zone. The contractor told me that my house did not need 2 zones. I thought all houses needed at least 2 zones.

I have a 17 year old ficus tree that my mother in law just gave me. It is about 2 foot tall. I would like it to grow taller, any suggestions on how I do this? I thought about re potting it, but I just moved it last week from it's old house to here, and I have heard that ficus are drama queens about where they are located, so I thought that maybe I should wait. Thanks!

He's rented me the most beautiful flat (brand new, former show home), refused to accept a deposit, paid my moving expenses and offered to have re-decorated any bits I don't like (there aren't any). And, before anyone says it - no, there's no hidden agenda. He simply says that he's had some luck in his life, and likes being able help others when he can.
