Home & Garden - 7 October 2006

We moved into a condo, and there are a lot of spiders and crickets. We got the place sprayed today, but how often do we need to keep this up?

Also...... It's 20.00 a month to have someone come out... is this a good price or is there a cheaper/better option out there?

I just don't know if this is to much? also from my kit/livi you can see the bath that I painted purple. I love this color and need this all pulled together. With the living room color any ideas

I have several perennials (roses etc) in clay pots on a rooftop garden. How can I best protect them for the upcoming Canadian winter? Should I bring them indoors, or wrap them in heavy plastic and leave them outdoors, near the house for "warmth"? Or is there something else I could/should be doing?

We moved to a rural area and there has been a few mice in here.. We were told it is part of living out here. Our apt. is very clean and new. WE ARE MORTIFIED AT THE THOUGHT OF THIS. Do you know anything about this?? Also they are usually in shock from the cat, they just sit there when we put them out, is that safe or should we put them in the woods?

i have a twin day bed. I don't like it because it's a day bed, and there aren't many angles it can be. I have good mattresses, so how much would it cost to buy a new, normal twin bed? (sheets, comforter, pillow etc not included)

I like satin and semi. I can't understand why someone would want to use a flat finish. I thinkit looks dull, and shows dirt so much more and is ahrder to clean. I know if the wall isn't perfect you shouldn't use a semigloss but I think flat is horrible

He sold his condo with his realtor and now we are in my condo and need to sell it and will use my realtor. However, when it comes to buying our new home, who do we use? He likes his, and I like mine and we both like eachothers but obviously can only use one. His realtor has offered 20% off his commision and we aren't sure what my realtor will offer. His realtor is more familiar with another city but says he knows enough about where we want to buy, while mine is very familair with where we plan on buying.

Rentals have increased to exhorbitant levels over the last couple of years and I do not know what cities I am going to get answers from, but it seems to me thru checking into rentals/one bedrooms and duplexes in various desirable cities around the U.S., such as New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami, even locations in great places like Colorado and North Carolina and Tennessee have gone up soooo much! Surely the property taxes, insurances taxes, etc. have gone up, but not that much to justify "higher than the sky" rent increases. Would love to hear from you out there in your city, tell me how goes it there. I am living in Miami, Florida. And on top of that owners do not want to be responsible for anything or the bare minimum upgrades and repairs. The tenants where I rent do not have leases, we're month-to-month. Had one when I first moved in. It's the same old story, everything goes up except the incomes!! Thank you so much for your responses guys!

Do all automatic dishwashers require that an air gap be installed by the kitchen sink, or is that only for the older model dishwashers?

A while back I saw a photo in a magazine which had tree trunks printed in black or brown, as if they were drawn, on a wallpaper pattern. I believe the shop was in London, but i can't remember the name. Any ideas how i can get this wallpaper or at least an image of it to copy?
