Hope thats good enough..thx rly apreciate it..plz attach a pic if it's not too much trouble..but if u cant that's fine I'll look it up myself on google :) best answer gets 10 pts. (lol idun get y ppl say that cuz its always liek that but yeahh).

We live in a super clean house. I own it, we don't rent. I am a clean freak. Tonight I went and turned on the light and there was a bug, I looked it up online and it says its a cockroach. I am totally freaked out. My husband has been having his friend stay over a few nights...his freind hangs with people who have roaches but he doesn't bring anything with him..except the clothes he is wearing. And a few months ago I was babysitting some kids and thier mom said they had roaches but I never seen any in my house. The only thing they brought was a diaper bag. Since I havn't been watching the kids anymore...I haven't seen any until now.

I am totally freaked out. Can there be just one? What are the chances my husbands friend brought it in with him on the clothes he was wearing? Or what are the chances the kids brought it in?

And how do I get rid of them if there are more.?

My toilet will not stop running and it has made my water bill shoot through the roof. It takes forever for it to refill with water and I am tired of hearing it run all night. Should I replace everything or is one thing causing this to happen?

My bathroom is spotlessly clean and sanitized.. but it has this smell that I just cannot get rid of. I just cant figure out the origin of this smell... it has to be from one of the pipes.. bathtub, toilet bowl or washbasin.. any ideas on how to get rid of this? BTW I have tried the air fresheners.. I cannot tolerate the strong ones and the mild ones just get mixed into the existing smell and make it worse..!! Help.

used pex to hook it all up, other fixture's hot water works great. if I turn the handle to all the way hot, full blast, I get lukewarm at best. back off on the pressure, but still at full hot and I get a trickle of very hot. oh, and i checked the dumb "no scald regulator" thing, and it's on full hot. this is the second fixture i've installed since the last one I assumed was faulty after taking it apart and looking for some blockage and finding none. now this new one is doing the exact same thing, (different brand) and I would greatly enjoy taking a hot shower now, thanks.

I bought my home a liitle over ten years ago. I've started redecorating inside and I want to redo the driveway. It' a horrible mess. I was thinking doing asphalt being that it's cheaper. When I saw this house that had these earth tone colored flat stones as the driveway. Can you give me some tips? It's the average size,half is cement and the other half is grassy. I'm trying to stay within a single parent budget.

I just recently bought a beautiful micro suede handbag and accidentally soiled it. I took it to the cleaners and they said that they could ruin it if they cleaned it because the chemicals could possibly melt the glue holding it together.
What should I do?
