Home & Garden - 21 July 2006

I have this mirror that I painted white, and I left it outside to dry (this was a while ago!), and dirt and nasty stuff got under the tape, and now it wont come off! I left it alone, not really caring what it looked like back then, but now I'm painting my room, and I want a crisp, clean look for it. Can I use Goof-Off on a mirror surface? Will it ruin it? Should I use something else? Windex, or glass cleaner wont take it off, IT IS STUCK ON!!! And I need your opinion, should I just leave it white or should I do something to it (I was thinking about tiling part of the mirror where the nasty stuff is). Please help!

Well points (2) are 16 feet down -- about 8 feet apart. One year old. mostly for lawn sprinkler system and hand-held hose for flower gardens and vegetable gardens.

How do we solve color problem, which we believe is from hgh iron content in water?

Considering water softener, but not sure if it's cost effective. Town water is very expensive.

Or maybe there's a simple way to periodically clean 100 feet of fence both sides?

Homes to expensive in local area. Pay rate not high enough to afford homes. Wife attending college, supporting wife and son. Excellent credit! First time home buyer progams stink, they do not help!

We just found out we have a mold problem that looks like little mushrooms. What is the best way to get rid of it without spreading the spores into the entire house... if that is possible. Thanks!

I have a leather couch and some areas are looking a little dry. I have a couch, loveseat and a chair and heard that mineral oil USP can be used as a conditioner. If you know if this is true or how to use it, could you please post it for me? Thanks in advance!

I'm talking white-white - Regular washing just leaves them looking dingy & bleach breaks down the fabric & also leaves yellowish stains.

I'm thinking of making it purple, maybe a lavender or dark/deep purple. Something calming. Blue's my favorite color but if i paint my bedroom that color I'll probably get tired of it lol. Any suggestions? Know of any sites where I can preview colors?
Thanks!

For the past week, there have been a ton of little black bugs that can fly (about the size of a sesame seed) crawling around in my pantry. I find them on the ceiling and on the floor (about 20 or so per day).

We came back from a month of vacation and the bugs have been here since. Does anybody know what they are and how to get rid of them?

the water was not draining out, until we poured baking soda and vinegar into it. How do I fix the disposal so that when I run water the waste is disposed of, instead of it reappearing in my sink basin like an unwelcome guest? Thanks.
