I'm just trying to make sure I won't set the house and neighborhood ablaze. Although it would be nice to catch-up with the boys at the fire dept.

I don't really want to strip the woodwork. I would just like to get it cleaned off, if possible.

After removing some old deco board in my bathroom, I found that there was a layer and a half of old wall paper underneath that had been mostly removed but there were spots that had not. When I began stripping the wallpaper, realized that the drywall had not been primed and prepared for wallpapering before the first layer had been put on and it was very VERY difficult to remove. The end result is that there are many places in the drywall where the top layer of the drywall has been torn into, leaving dark patches from the drywall's top paper layer. I wish to repaint the walls but will need to fix those patches so my walls will be smooth. Can I simply mud or spackle over them as I would nail holes? Or is there a different method I should use? I'm looking on Do it yourself.com but I haven't found my paticular scenario addressed.

Some time ago Heloise or Helpful Helen or whoever printed a piece on getting whites, white. There was some type of mixture you soaked them in, maybe overnight. It may have been milk (?) mixed with something or maybe vinegar w/something or dishwasher detergent or SOMETHING. I can't remember. Anyone????

We had a torrential downpour earlier this week. I skipped watering for a day but then began again. The plants are yellowing & drooping. Is it possible to overwater & if so, how do I make this right?

They have been in the pots for about 2 months and give resistance when I pull on them; but they haven't gotten any new growth that I can see. The few leaves on them are still green, though. I am in southern middle Tennessee and I'd like to plant them in my yard but wonder if I should wait until they show new growth. Also they are small and I'm afraid the MANY wild rabbits that live in my yard will eat them as they did to my phlox transplants earlier in the summer. I have them in partial shade on my covered porch currently and water them thoroughly about every other day. Thanks!

The interior walls of my house do not provide much sound insulation. I would like to reduce sound travel inside my house.
