Home & Garden - 14 September 2006

They used to stay with my hubby but they have moved out a long while ago. And yet, they are still treating the guest rooms as their warehouse and I am sick and tired of it. All the storerooms are filled with their stuff. And my hubby does not want to cause any family issues and he said that he feels awkard to bring it up. The house is brought under a family trust fund. Except my hubby's name, my mother in law's name is on the title agreement too.

I want to seal the brick on the front of my house, then cover it with some other material like sliding, stucco or other product which will change the look.

is it possible to run a natural gas vent up a chimney using something like b vent or 4 inch pipe? What i have is a wood stove using my chimney that measures somthing like 8"x12", or close to that. I want to run a 4 inch pipe up the chimney for my gas furnace to keep the flu separate. Is this ok and is it possible? Would it be better to run it somewhere else?

We've known about it for years now but are people really doing their bit or are people complacent about it? Would you do more if you were to have somebody come round your house and show you ways of saving energy and money?I'm thinking of setting up an agency doing just that?

I live in NC so it's been getting nice enough outside to turn my air off and open the doors. But I can smell some skunky odor from outside. NOT a skunk.

I have a choice between getting a condo right in front of the beach and one that is bigger but more inland same town; they are both the same price but I was considering purchasing the one in front of the water because of the views and it will go up in value quicker so it is a good investement. It has a slinding glass door, someone told me that if I live too close to the ocean that a lot of sand can get in to my home and that things like my tv and computers (I have like five of them) and other things like stereo can get pretty messed up because of the sea air and the salt in the air, has anyone that lived or lives in beach property that close to the ocean can advice me on this. No smart *** answers please I am tired of smart *** rude people on this site.
