Home & Garden - 2 October 2006

Every so often when I wash my sheets they would come out with all bleach stains on it. The detergent I use on my sheets has absolutly no bleach in them. The only thing I figured out is I use bleach alternative on my white towels and maybe there is a residue left in the wash after I wash the towels and it gets on the sheets? I usually wait a while between loads so it doesn't make sense. Also only certain things have the bleach stains while other things are fine..I'm so confused!!?

My dryer line runs across my entire basement, this is how it was originally put in. After a few months my ducts fill with water. What can I do? I heard of a fan blower to insert to help move the air? Is this possible? Help!!

I need help identifying this flower bush, I have no idea what it is. Also, any tips on caring for this bush will be appreciated. When it blossoms it produces many gorgeous flowers, but it attracts a lot of bugs, then the flowers die. What is the best way to care for this bush? Any experts out there?

We have beautiful white wood cabinets with stainless steel knobs, stainless steel and black appliances and currently, white laminate counters but we are going to upgrade to very dark (black/greyish) granite or corian counters soon. We have some red appliances that we'd like to use as accents (cannisters, coffee pot, etc). What color would look good in this kitchen? We currently have mint green (previous owners) and hate it. We already have a lot of red on the 1rst floor, so we prefer not to do more red colors.

I want to drill a hole, maybe 3/4" or less and two or two and a half inches long, into a loose stone, probably under four inches thick and one foot in diameter. I am told than an SDS rotary hammer drill with a carbide tip is the way to drill a hole into rock, but I have no idea how this device works and with a name like "rotary hammer" it makes me wonder whether I could safely and effectively use it on a small stone in a vise (as opposed to a mammoth, immobile rock). Does this device work like a jackhammer or is it primarily rotary motion?

I would like to take my carpet out and put wood floors in. But have to admit I can never remember how to convert to square feet. My room is 14x14ft. So what is the square ft for this?

We used to have several koi and minnows and they are slowly disappearing. We're certain the culprit is this beautiful crane. Normally I would welcome the visitor, but not to eat our fish friends. Help!!

how to make itchy t-shirts wearable they're all cotton but some itch & some don't I want to be able to wear them. I've got some nice ones and I can't wear them becuse this. I can't tell until I try them on because it may be soft to the touch an light weight but when I actually put it on especially if the weather is warm then I find out if it is itchy or not.

My wife and I are going to build a house likely within the next year. Rather than hire a general contractor, I am convinced that the best thing to do is to do my own general contracting and save as much money as possible. I was wondering if any of you have any suggestions, cautions or advice yo could give me? Thanks in advance!
