We have moved into this older but expensive house 1.5 yrs ago. From day 1, smelt this really annoying stink seem to be coming from the crawlspace. Have tried plumber, pest control and home inspectors. Noone can identify the type of the smell nor can they find the source or solution.

Any help will be greatly appreciated

I bought a new computer and when I removed the stickers it left behind a sticky residue. Does anyone know a good way to remove this that won't harm my computer?

I have invented regular socks with a padded bottom that you wear in the kitchen and around the house to wipe up spots and spills on hardwood, ceramic tiles, etc.. rather than moping. Just a quick easy way to do an inbetween clean.

Every room in our new house has paneling except one. Out house is old so there isn't even any drywall under it, so taking the paneling down is not an option. I don't like the way painted paneling looks due to the lines. Is there something I can do to prep. it so after I paint it will just look like a regular wall?

I've tried concentrated laundry detergent (from All), but I'm wondering if it makes sense for a company to come out with a concentrated bleach that you can use on colors... obviously concentrated chlorine bleach would be really dangerous. Does anyone think this is a good idea? Or are you happy with the way bleach is now and don't really care that you could use less bleach per load?

Ok I've bought a house and had nothing but probs with the 30ftx18ftx4ft above ground pool. I finally have the water blue but cloudy. Here r the results from the water test done at the pool store. Free chlorine 0.1 ppm Total Chlorine .1 ppm PH 7.4 Hardness 220ppm Alkalinity 100ppm Cyanuric Acid 53ppm Theu said I just need 6 ounces of shock. I just did a double shock on Friday. We didn't swim all weekend. And only about 2 inches of rain. I have 1 chlorine tablet in my floater. Why can we not keep chlorine in our pool. Water temp is 84 degrees. Help please!! We are considering draining the dumb thing this winter and getting a new one. We bought the house and the water was green when we moved in. We got it this far but need a little more help.
