Home & Garden - 3 September 2006

We are just beginning our foray into residing our new home. It currently has vinyl siding which is in need of replacement. We are wondering if it is worth changing over to cedar siding. 95% of the homes in our neighborhood have cedar siding. Could someone provide some guidance?

I'm going to clean the whole house.
Should I begin where it's the dirtiest? Or the cleanest area? Is it better to start in the back of the house and move forward toward the door? Or start at the door and move to the back of the house? Should I save the porch for another day?

Any advice would be helpful here.

Does an A/C work the same as a dehumidifier? I cannot afford to go buy one. Will my A/C work?

I do not have a pillow-top mattress, but I do have a nice California King sized mattress. The new fitted sheets have deeper pockets to fit the pillowtop mattresses, but I don't have a pillowtop mattress, so these "fitted" sheets don't work for me and aren't fitted at all. Do they still make the original pockets or am I stuck with a wrinkled bed the rest of my life? Thanks friends.

On Friday evening, my wife noticed a huge Hornet's nest in a flowering crab tree in our front yard that is bigger then a football! We have sprayed it with Hornet's killer both Friday and Saturday night, (using two full cans each time) but they are still coming in and out of that sucker at a fast rate! I really don't want to have to pay for an exterminator to remove it, because money is very tight for us right now. Anyone know how to get rid of such a thing, without either of us getting stung? (Again, serious answers only! I lost a good friend to getting stung by Hornets many years ago, and I do not find any jokes about it to be funny!).
