This substance appears to be 'shooting' out from the floor under the shower. It is a dry powder, and is easily wiped away, only to reappear another day. I have considered just sealing the opening with caulk, but I want to know what this is before I seal it in.

I have a lamp post outside my house and wondered if it was possible to request the council (at a cost) to relocate it.

row? Oh yes, and a skunk has a den under the house. It has a well(so free water.) Big from the ground up six ft' wide pine tree in front of the house. What about the deal. It has a stocade fence too. But the house reminds me of "Bonnie and Clyde!"

I have a beautiful cocktail table with a marble finish, which has endured a few years with two young boys, and has lost its shine and luster. I've tried some over-the-counter products to clean it, but nothing seems to restore the shine. Is there anything I can buy that will accomplish this or is the only option to have it professionally done?

With winter coming up soon, here in the midwest, I am going to ask the question: Does Setting Back the Thermostat in the Winter Really Save Energy?

According to the DOE and EnergyStar, it does. But I, and others, disagree to a point. That point being, "doesn't it take MORE energy to REWARM the house back to the COMFORT TEMP when you're home?" So in other words, does it take more energy to bring the temperature from 62 to 68, for example, rather than maintaining the temperature at 68 the entire time when the house is vacant?

I need solid proof energy is saved with the EnergyStar compliant thermostats, not just what the websites say. If anyone has any experience or tests, I would like to hear what they have to say. Thanks!

My housemate always leaves his washing in the machine. Sometimes for days! I refuse to act like his mother and take them out, but what I want to know is how long do clothes have to stay damp for before they start to smell?

Also, any ideas how to get him to take them out earlier?
