there is a smell coming from it.

I used Murphy's oil soap, washed it down, two coats of Pledge, and a one coat of Oil English.

The former owner smoked and I got off all of the soot, and the tobacco smell, and it looks much cleaner, but now it has a kind of not so nice wood/musty smell coming from it.

Any one have any ideas?

The area I want to section off is 12W x 8H. I'm thinking of using paneling (8x4) with wood braces every two feet. I've priced it out and it looks to cost around 100 dollars. I don't like the idea of curtains or screens because people can easily move them out of the way. Bookcases would be too much work to put together and I already have a ton of shelving space. If you have any other ideas or suggestions, I'd be appreciative.

The furnace is in the attic above the bathroom. Apparently it was leaking last night because the bathroom floor is wet and the rug drenched. Only knowing that the leak came from some where in the attic, I climbed up there a few minutes ago and found the pan under the furnance had a little water. The pvc pipe right above the pan had condensation. I couldn't find any more water. Any ideas?

I want to install one in my garden but havent found a good site on the internet. Is it very expensive to build one? How do I start? I want to contribute with the planet and of course also stop paying so much for electricity. If someone has some good info, I am happy.

Does anyone know if you can put water in granulated limestone and use it to water plants as a one time thing? I figure if you can use it to plant, with well maybe you can use it to water with (one-time) It is suppose to be good for your flowers.

I have a ranch home with a section of an "added-on" garage with a flat roof that needs repair.

I have gotten several estimates to have the entire roof done. Rip up the old shingles and replace ice guard and what ever else they do.

The last guy that gave me an estimate states that I dont need to rip up the old shingles on the whole house. Repair and replace the flat roof the rest of it just put new shingles on.

Is this wise? It's certainly cheaper and will look just as nice when finished? I need help please!!!

My deeds clearly state we are not allowed to keep caravans, boats or mobile homes on drive or garden. What do I do now that a neighbour is doing just that?
