I'm tired of hearing how it gets homes and apartments rented better. It has made me almost hate white. I like color and expression in a room. I feel more alive when the room has color and a theme, clean lines and a few incidental items. What is wrong with letting tenants paint, as long as it's nothing dark that is hard to cover? It should just be a given that each new tenant will adjust the space to suit their personality.

I have a rhododendronI planted in early April. It is very pretty and I don't want it to die during the winter. I know it is a perennial but I don't know if I should prune, etc. Can you help me? I have searched everything I can think of on line, and found no answers. Spell check had me change the spelling of this word, so I hope it is correct.

I'm looking for some homemade soap recipes that don't use a lot of oils or shortening. My mom made an oatmeal soap once and I don't recall her using shortening in it. Are there similar recipes?

Do candles set off smoke detectors?
I live in a dorm room and I was wondering if it would be undetected if I lit a candle :)

I find the aluminum ones to be difficult to piece together. Leaning towards plastic. They fit together very well and are easy to work with. But do they leak? Do you have to seal them with goop?

My husband is installing duct work under a house and came across these leeches and we want to find out how to get rid of them. If anyone knows how can you please let us know. The owner of the home also has a leaking pipe from their kitchen. We think that is why they are there. But, how did they get there in the first place?
