I have an inground vinyl pool that some how has become stained with rust. Any way I can remove this without damaging my liner? Would clorox be too harsh even with water to dilute it?

We are moving and we have clothes, like new or never worn, and furniture that we can't take with us. How can I make some money without a yard sale? I have donated so much already and could use a little cash for some nice things. What does anyone think about auctions? please give me your input on options/choices.
thank you

This house was built in 1928. It has the old brick columns halfway up and then wood columns to the roof on the front of the house. my front porch is about 16 x 8 concrete slab. I hate this look and I would like to get the old brick columns removed but there is a small room over the porch. I would like the front porch to be screened in to make it appear different. With the room over the porch I wonder if I will need to keep the big brick columns. I don't have a lot of money to work with but I will need to get something done before long. Who will I need to contact? How expensive do you think this could be?

I have seen how people put the "vines" from their pothos plant along the top of cupboards or counters etc.. can someone please tell me how to make it grow like that so nice. Mine has vines that are only 1-2 ft. long.. how long will it take for them to grow to longer lengths? Also what kind of pot should I plant it in? The pot that it's in seems so bulky and also there are a lot of vines planted together.. should there be only one planted for what I'm trying to do? If anybody knows how to make this look nice along counters and stuff please explain in detail what I should do.. Thank you

having recently purchased a house, we were contimplating having a pool,only to disciver that the previous owners had a pool but have filled it in, we know that is is filled with sand, but we are not sure whether the pool is badly damaged, a friend of mine said that usually they are punctured(it's fibreglass) and left to drain then filled, if we want to put a pool in do we need to remove this one or can it be repaired in some way, is this the only way that you can empty them. I don't have any contact address for the previous owners or i would ask them.

Please don't give me a spill about trailors or about pulling this mess off. I have already sheetrocked most of this five bedroom house and I dont intend to sheetrock another room unless I have to. This is an old house and all the walls are solid plank and old wallpaper. I hate wallpaper!!! I only had two rooms with paneling that I intend to paint so please help me figure this out. I don't won't to have a big mess. A friend told me a needed a product he thought was called "dull and bond" to dull the shine so the paint will stick to the paneling. I can't find it in the harware store. Has any body here ever painted paneling? Cant I just use Semi-Glos. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you.

Can't I just use a semi-gloss paint. Do I really need to use "Dull and Bond" to make the varnish come off the paneling before I paint it? I can't find it in the hardare store what is the real name of the product. My paneling is brown.

What is the best way to get these down. There's about 3-4" between deck & bottom rail. I thought of laying something long flat & hard on top of the nails from deck side to off the deck & hammer it down from the sides. But not sure how to secure. Any ideas?

I recently bought a pair of sandals, used them twice and the labels kept moving so I ended up tearing them off because they were annoying me. The problem is the inside of my sandals are too sticky and therefore uncomfortable to use because they keep sticking to my shoe. How to take the stickyness off?
