I just bought a Glade Scented Oil Warmer. I love the scent, and I would keep the fragrance level on the strongest, number five, but I want it to last as long as possible. If I set the fragrance level on number one, will the fragrance last longer, or will it just collect inside the warmer?

The roof above our 2 back rooms is a flat- top rubber roof. The only way to get out there is to go out the 2nd door in our upstairs bathroom. There's no enclosure out there and it should have a railing. The ins agent said we could do one ourselves with 2x4's.
What's the best pre-treated wood and hardware to use?

The door is right beside the edge of the roof, and in the 5 years we lived here, I've never set foot out there. I'm a chicken $hit.

For lunch the other day I had left over rice (mix of veggies and chicken). I had it in a plastic container and didnt finish the rest. I mustve had a busy day and didnt empty in the trash or wash it out. The next day doing the dishes I opened it and it smells HORRIBLE! So I emptied the rice in the garbage. And tried letting the container soak. That didn't work. I ended up throwing the conatiner out anyways bc the top was cracked. I didnt throw out the garbage right away. Now my pantry smells the worst! I took out the garbage and we sprayed febreeze and a can of frangrance spray. Nothing is helping. Its like a burning smell! I put a smelly thing that you get for your bathroom in the pantry. But now it has a weird mix of a smell. Anything advice would be so GREATFULL!
Thanks!

I am looking into adding a fence to my yard, and was wondering if there are any stores that just sell the fence and you just stick them in. Or do you have to have them manually built.

What is the best site to look at fences, best company?

My friends and I are building this awsome tree fort in the woods. We've been going out there for at least 2 months now and are just starting to build it. There are some signs of people being out there and we don't want anyone wrecking our hard work. Should we build booby traps out there. I don't no who owns the woods in the forest, so I dont want a trap or security device hurting the owner but I don't want anyone wreking the fort. Any good advice would be apreciated, thanks.

After they are off for a bit, they pop back on??? There are 4 and they all do it? Is there some overheating trigger that does this?

A hobby of mine is looking at homes for others. So if you are looking to buy just give me the location (city, state), # of bedrooms and baths, and I'll find the house for you. E-mail me at tayrose93@yahoo.com for more information.

I bought some hat boxes and the price stickers are on the bottom and will not come off. I'm afraid to use goo-gone and other products since it's a hat box. Any suggestions that won't ruin the boxes?

I don't know the type of vine but it has beautiful purple flowers that are not tubular in shape-more flat. I grabbed a leaf.

I just moved in and I think my garage door is aluminimun and it does have existing paint that looks matte.
Can I paint on top of it, and what kind of paint should it be?
It's now red, and I want it to be white.

Damage is being caused to our property, but the tenant is unwell and we don't want to bother him. Surely the agent has some responsibility for the properties he manages.

It's mostly household items such as cookware, etc. that are a little too dinged up to give to Goodwill, but are still perfectly usable (I was still using them before I got new stuff for gifts.) I really hate to just throw stuff in a dumpster.

I would like the neighbor to remove since it's coming from her vine plant on other side of the fence. It's growing out of control and is climbing on my roof. I've been out of town for two months and just now found this surprise plant coming on my side... Is it her responsibility to remove from my property? If yes and she doesn't remove, can I bill her for having removed?
