We have lived in our house for some time now but never used the fireplace. In fact, the fireplace has never been used before. I don't want to burn my house down. I have never been very good at building fires. What things do I need? Thanks!

I have a brand new stainless steel counter top. Some how it became scratched due to an abrasive pan. Looks horrible. Have tried the cleaner that came with the counter top, but only cleans.

I wonder if anyone can help me with this problem. I have this white powdery dust all over the house, assuming it is coming out of the AC ducts. I had the ducts cleaned, change my filter in the AC every month (just bought one that can be rinsed out with the gardenhose) and it's still visible all around the house......??? Anybody have a clue as to where this comes from......??? Do I need to have the ductwork replaced (the house is 10 yrs. old)...??? Any comments will be greatly appreciated.........

This summer I left for vacation...when I came back a month later my house had been taken over by ITSY BITSY TINY WEINIE little ants. They have not gotten into any food as everything is sealed except for the dry cat food that sits out. They have brought dirt into my kitchen and started building little mounds between the wall and my trashcan! They are also in my bed (I don't eat in bed) and the little buggers bite/sting :( I sprayed my bed down w/vinegar water last night..but still was stung several times. They are also living in my dirty clothes basket.

What is attracting them? Why are they IN MY HOUSE???

I bought some RAID today....but I just want to know what's going on so I can prevent this in the future.

Will be tapping off of existing gas line by replacing elbow with tee. 3/8" black iron to manual safety shut-off valve mounted on the hearth stone. What material to be used in the run from valve to burner? I will need to drill through the bottom of the fire box for the run from the valve to the burner.

Should 3/8 black iron be used and then use a flex line from the penetration point to the burner? Or can the flex line be used to make this run from the valve to the burner?

Some friends are moving, and their teen had put radio station stickers on his bedroom door; now they're preparing the house for sale, and need to get the stickers off of the door. Does anyone know of the easiest way to do this, and/or the best product(s) to buy to help remove these? (They're already assuming they'll have to repaint the door.) Thanks to everyone who has feedback for this question.

When you go ouside do you hear a loud sound..I am not sure if it is a bug or a bird..sounds like a buzzing that goes on for a while, then stops and repeats itself. I hear it only in the hot summer months

I took everything out and it's still there. Smells like something rotting, I live in a condo. Any ideas what it is, and what I can do to get rid of it.

I saw on the web where they make a splice type repair kit with a turnbuckle in the that allows you to tighten it. Does anyone know where I can get these? Other than pulling them out (no an option) and replacing them, what should I do? One runs East-West the other North South. They intersect each other.
