Home & Garden - 8 September 2006

I just moved out with a friend of mine. He brought a couch that was in his mom's basement. The couch has a weird smell that won't go away. Any Ideas? I tried Febreeze.

I work for an apartment community and I have a townhome that smells horribly like smoke. The entire place has been primed and painted (ceilings and walls), we've shampooed the carpets 3 times, washed all the woodwork down, opened all the windows for a week straight...and other short periods, cleaned all the vents, even used a home remedy of putting charcoal around the house...and it still SMELLS! Does anyone have any ideas on how to get rid of this? The previous owners smoked non-stop with the windows and doors closed. It was disgusting to see how yellow everything was...yuck. But anyway, do any of you have any other ideas for us to try? And it has to be affordable it's the end of the year and I have almost no budget left to work with. THANKS!

we were eating dinner and we saw a hummingbird on the flowers outside.
it was about the size of half of a palm and it was beating its wings and sucking out pollen from a flower.

i've never seen one before in real life.

is it unusual to see a hummingbird in the uk?

The vents in my house do not appear to be pushing out that much air. The smaller rooms get cool with the doors shut. But overall it takes a long time to cool the house 1 degree (about 2.5 hours) My AC unit has been tested and is cooling properly, but I believe it isn't pushing out enough air to cool the house effectivly.

I am thinking about starting a housecleaning service in my area. I need to know how much I should charge, the kinds of things I can expect, and if it would be worth my while or should I just go to a preexisting housecleaning service and work through them?

This pesty bastard is trying to bury nuts undernearth our new sod. The sod since it is fairly new, hasn't seem to lay down deep roots with the sub soil and as a result it is possible for a squirrel to dislodge it while digging.

I would like to sell my house on the internet. I placed it on Craigslist, and got many responses.I'm trying to find other sites that are simply like this. I don't want to go through the "for sale by owner" site. Thanks for you help!

I have just moved into a new rented house, and the garden is a tip , so when I got home from work I dicided to clear it out a bit, whilst doing this I unknowingly picked up the top off a Wasps nest (it's lucky I had gardening cloves on) there are thousands of wasps in it. anyway my question is this. Do I have to pay for the exterminator to get rid of it, Or is it the responsibility of the Landlord?

Please no spam as this is really important I have two small children and I need to get this mess sorted as soon as possible so they can play in the garden.

Thanxs in advance

The plant looks great, and is continuously growing, but the very tips of every leaf are dead.

Hey folks, I got this Clorox ready mop a few days ago. I was just wondering what you guys think of it. I haven't tried it yet.

How were your experiences?
