I just bought my dream house. It's perfect and we want to stay here until we retire. There's a huge problem though that we never realized. Although the house isn't very close to the airport, it's on a flight path, meaning that we are about 15 blocks away from the end of a runway so the planes take off and land right above our beautiful house and about once every half hour when we are sitting outside relaxing in our beuatiful yard it gets so loud for a few seconds that we can't hear ourselves think! It's mostly just embarrassing. We had a housewarming party and people were laughing about the airport noise!

My house overlooks beautiful countryside and so the builder put in tons of windows. The problem with that is there is not much wall space so I wanted to know if it is ok to decorate high. Anything I hang will be hung above the windows. I have high cathedral ceilings 9 or 10 ft and the windows are probably 6 1/2 - 7 ft high

Yesterday I found 15-20 wasps in my house. They were all hanging out in 2 windows and I killed'em all with a fly swatter. There doesn't appear to be any holes in the windows where they could come in. A couple appeared to be covered in soot. Could they be coming in through the fire place? My fire shoot was shut. I burned a fire last night hoping to scare them of if they had a nest in the chimney. Today, I had two new wasps. Any ideas?

there are a bunch of black neighbors in my neighborhood who aren't that friendly (nor sane). Recently, they have been playing football in our parking lot area and have been sitting on the back hood of my car. I told them to stop and get off, but they keep getting on right after I leave. then they continue this every night...sitting and pounding their fists on my car attempting to make rap sounds and eating around there. I do not want to have to be forced to put my car elsewhere or contact the police (since that might cause more trouble later)....what do i do?

We just bought a house and it came with a microwave... needless to say, it had so much bacon grease inside that it really smells! I've cleaned it numerous times, and I've left baking soda in it for a week to hopefully soak up the odor. I suspect some bacon grease made it into a top vent inside the microwave. Recommendations glady accepted... thanks to all, and ten points will be awarded.

I just heard people saying that you can use starch to iron clothes.

What kind of starch? how to mix with water? how much starch, and how much water? do you need to boil them?

How to applied on clothes? (spray, paint? ??)

I just applied some starch on my clothes and then iron them?

**The whole question is about how to start from 'zero' ?**

I know nothing about starch (never use it / touch it / see it). All I know it's starch can be use for ironing clothes, but I don't know how.

Please come back for possible updates of this question.
Please give me the answer, do just give me the links and tell me to search it.

Thank you^^!

I want to put a cerculation pump on my hot water return to improve waiting time for hot water from our kitchens sink and bathrooms. I know how to install but does it matter where the pump is in the circut? Should it be at the kitchen tap or can it be at the hot water tank? Thanks!
