We have not had the inspection done yet, that is Saturday. But we think that it needs new windows, and insulation. It definitely needs new siding. All the other things we can do ourselves...pulling up carpet, painting, new wallpaper. What are things we can ask them to fix, or take down the asking price?

They seem to have a very thick coating of some ugly varnish. Should I sand first? Last time I tried to sand it left scratch marks in the ugly veneer.

I have an inground pool that I constantly have to fight with. It turns green fast, usually overnight. Then I have to use an algeacide, and then usually a floculant, and end up vacuuming to waste, wasting all that water and chemicals.... It usually gives me very little warning. One day it is crystal clear, the next it is starting to turn green in the deep end, or it is completely changed. I keep my chlorine levels good. I use chlorine "pods" in the skimmer which include a shock and algaecide, and I put them in once a week as directed. I use 4 of them for my pool, estimated at 20,000 gallons. Each one treats 5,000 gallons. I just don't get it. This is the 2nd year I have had the pool, so I am new to this. But I have fought it for 2 years now. Any help would be appreciated.

I have this firm comfy pillow I bought about a month ago and already its gotton lumpy. There's this huge Grand Canyon style crack down the middle of the pillow between two large lumps of pillow stuffing. I've tried giving it a pep talk and fluffing it up, I even tried kneading it like bread dough, but no positive results.

Any suggestions?

We got some flowers delivered and there is a fuzzy yellow flower with a fuzzy red stem. It has small pods that open up looking like a six pointed star. We have never seen it before and are wondering what it is.

My new apartments kitchen only has 2 outlets, one on each side of the kitchen. That means I can only plug in 4 things! The washer and dryer hookup is in the kitchen also. I guess it is common in old houses in Buffalo, but it seems weird to me. So i have the washer, dryer, frige and stove to plug in and there is no outlet near the refrigerator. can I use power strips and extention cords to have more availible outlets? I won't blow a fuse will I?

We are buying new construction housing and moving in September. I've heard that the soil that comes with the development is not very good. What steps should I take in order to establish a new lawn that is relatively lush, weed-free, and green? I am considering trucking in new soil - but having never been a homeowner before, I don't have a clue where to start.
