This is a longstanding problem and so far I have tried various HEPA filters, dust mite treatments and allergy treatments. It is a problem because it is irritating to have the home dirty even with so much cleaning but mainly because it makes me sneaze and can give me a bad night's sleep. I suspect the source is lint from clothes, but I cant figure out why they should produce so much more than anyone else's! I have just ordered some lint balls which may reduce the lint. Any help in how to figure out what this dust is, where it is coming from and most importantly how to get rid of it very welcome!

I use a traditional spray gun like a campbell hausfeld and a 60 gallon compresor, but almost always have overspray problems. I usually spray at about 40psi. Should I do something differently or is there better equipment that I should buy?

We covered our front steps with decking wood with a nail space between each board; our dog got her nail stuck in a space & we had to run to the vet. She's fine now. How can we fill in the spaces between each board without doing the job over again? Right now I have out door rugs covering the beautiful wood.

One website says that when it comes to broken washing machines, socks are the greatest cause of jammed up pumps (next in line is ladies' thong underwear.). And it suggests using small garment wash bags or socks clips, if this is a constant problem for a washing machine user.

Im about to start painting my lounge. Ive removed the wall paper and the plaster below was painted with a thick silky emultion. Unfortunatly some of this silky paint has flaked off in patches all over the room. Im going to try to sand the edges of these patches but am consious that they will still be visable under the matt emultion I am wanting to paint the room in. Does any one have any advice what to do about this? or id there is anything else I can do? Many thanks

last time i turn on the flame the way should be, placing in pilot position and then push the red button and light the pilot hold for a minute and done!
first of all i don't know why this is the second time the flame extinguished and i didn't even noticed i realized when i try to shower and not hot water come!
So now i did the same, check for smell at gas, turn it off for 5 minutes and position the knob in pilot, then push the red button and light the pilot and yes there's a flame but i tried a few times even 3 minutes holding but as soon i released the red button the flame extinguished so please tell me what is wrong or what should i do!
model is GE SmartWater 30 gallons Gas
Thanks

My Oak trees are dropping clusters of healthy leaves from the branch tips all the time lately.....I pick up about 25 every couple of days. They branch tips that I am finding are healthy clusters from the ends of branches and they appear to be clean cuts from the tree at an angle...all of them.....almost look pruned. Is there natural phenomenon that someone knows about or am I being the victim of some strange practical joke? My neighbors hate my oaks because they say in the fall, leaves get in their pool.

The only thing I notice is that there is a flurry of activity out there by squirrels, but that is pretty normal in the fall. Could they be doing this?

I recently bought an edwardian house and wish to strip, sand and varnish the original floorboards. In the hallway, there were lino tiles glued directly onto the boards. I have manged to remove the tiles, but am now left with very thick and very sticky glue, that resembles tar! It is very difficult to remove and my local DIY store said they dont sell anything strong enough to remove it. What can I use to remove the glue, without damaging the boards.

Hi, I just bought a hot water heater and the water is much hoter than before. The guy that installed it said that 140 was pretty low and it should be OK. What do you think?

I have termites in one or two rotten stumps, and recently discovered them munching away at some wooden patio pavings. Should I try to exterminate them before they start on my house? How?
