Chair construction was with wood, dowels and glue. There are no screws. The wood is not splintered, it looks like the glue did not hod properly. Can this be safely glued back in place with carpenter's glue?

I have a 100+ year old Victorian house, plaster and lathe - balloon framed..

We would like to insulate without riping out all the walls, Hoping to fire retard the balloon framing also..

We're in the Pacific Northwest - so it's wet..

I have been led to believe that cellulose might wick moisture and settle within a few years, wheras expanding foam will fill and stay.

Fire block is as important (if not more so) to me than R value..

any comments, thoughts or caveats would be appreciatede - thanks

My daughter came home with a puppy I told her she couldn't have. And so I already don't like him, he's 7 weeks old and every time I bring something home to plant in my garden he thinks it's a new toy for him to rip up and eat! God I hate this dog!!! How do I keep him out of my flower beds and teach him to stop tearing up everything. Keep in mind we just bought this home and can't yet afford to build a dog run, but believe me there is one in his near future.

Our house has no exhaust fan in the upstairs bathroom as it originally had no shower (just bathtub). If I place a small fan on the shelf above the sink, and leave the door open will this get the vapour out of the bathroom sufficiently?

I am needing any ideas on how to keep my home smelling nice naturally. I have tried all kinds of fresheners that can be bought but nothing works for very long. We live in an area that stays damp and our house smells that way alot. I am currently trying vanilla soaked cotton balls, but that just isn't doing it. Any suggestions? Please only serious answers!!!

I'm trying to find the proper spelling, so I can find photos online. They're supposed to be clusters of tiny white blossoms attached to long, thin stems.

paved cost more but cost does not matter. paved comes in many design patterns also, but appears to be high maintenance than the other options.

My son flushed a plastic toy cell phone down the toilet. The toilet appears to be functioning properly, but I am concerned with it being lodged in the pipes. It there somewhere I can check along the drain line to see if it is stuck. My house is only a few years old and out toilets are hooked up to the sewer.

I have microfiber "throw" pillows that sit on my couch. My boys have coughed, sneezed and got them full of germs when they were sick. How do I wash this type of a pillow? It is not a zipper style either.
