I prefer to put leftover food down the toilet instead of in the garbage bag to avoid the smell in the kitchen. Is this bad? (I used to feed it to our dog but she has developed allergies...)

My orchids live outdoors and survive winters down to 25 degrees. They have 12 - 16 in. leaves and 2 in. white flowers with purple in the center and yellow spots. I believe they are terrestrial orchids and like the rich organic soil benieth my oak trees. They multiply quickly and require little maintenance.

Our home inspector recommended getting window well covers and estimated they would be about $20 each. We have square window wells made out of brick. We want them with a slight angle but not the bubble kind. Looking at places like Home Depot they have really cheap ones that wouldn't fit. Looking online there are many custom covers that cost around $100 - 200. Isn't there something in between?

The drain for the stand up shower has a bad smell. I have used products that are supposed to eliminate drain odors, but that only lasted a few hours. I have also tried vinegar and baking soda followed by hot water. The shower is clean and we don't have a drainage problem. We do, however, have a septic tank. Any ideas?

Our (rented) townhouse has a very bleak cement block basement. Right now the blocks are painted white and cream (and not in a pretty pattern) and the floor is painted dark gray. We want to use the basement as a fitness room and a crafting area for scrapbooking. The lighting is also terrible. What are some ways we can brighten up the space and make it more hospitable without doing any permanent construction (remember we are renting) or spending a lot of money?
