The drain in the kitchen sink at my office smells really bad sometimes when water is poured down it. We don't have a disposal. I've tried pouring anmonia down the drain and then running hot water for several minutes but it hasn't helped at all. Any suggestions? Thanks!

it. Shud I pressure wash it and then sand it and then stain or does it just need sanding before stain.

My friend is remodelling a room that had an old man smoker renter in it for about 2 yrs. We have tried opening the windows and using Febreeze but it still is REALLY stinky. Does anyone have any "home remedies" for permanent smoke smell removal?

We are using it as a 3rd bedroom but not selling it as one, it was done 6 years ago with no building regs and the buyer is happy with this. However solicitors are asking for any paperwork etc which we obviously don't have. Does anyone have experience with this as my husband and i are worried we'll have to have it taken down or redone properly. We are definately not selling it as a bedroom so didn't think there would be any problems. Please help !

I live in Ohio & there's a nest of them in the corner of my parent's attic. They sort of look like hornets but gigantic ones!

I have a regular tumble dryer and am not looking forward to a winter of having to have the kitchen door open to fit the hose out.

I own a home that was paid off by my insurance company as a total loss due to toxic black mold. I remodeled the home, but did not have professional mold "remediation". My wife of 23 years took out a loan on this property and did not disclose to the appraisor or lender regarding the history of this home.Now she has filed for divorce and my name is still listed on deed.....did she do wrong?...could I potentially be liable?

I have a brand new house with a brand new lawn in North Carolina. Over the summer, most of my grass died. I need to do the fall fertilization and reseed so in the spring I will have good growth. When do I need to do this?

Any tips please?

i heard they are some kind of insects that craw around the dirt and soil and they have a baby looking face and i guess that;s why they are called "ninos de la tierra" peop;e have seen them in their gardens.

And approx. 3" 12 pitch. We are getting a new roof and the g & d are really old and ugly. Our house is sheltered by trees so they get clogged 2 weeks after you clean them. AND, we are selling the house in the spring and want to increase the curb appeal.

Ive heard its supposed to be a mild winter, but then ive also heard its supposed to be unseasonably cold.

Trying to decide if i should just set fire to the house to buffer heating costs, or if we can actually survive for less than 2000 bucks in fuel oil. Damn heating costs.

Thanks!

I noticed a few weeks ago when I stepped on a tile it sounded hollow, I got up this morning and I have a hump in the floor around that tile. My tile has been down 5 yrs and never had a problem anyone have any idea why this happened and what i can do (besides rip up the floor and start again)
