I was given some lovely towels for Xmas, but recently they have started to feel very harsh against the skin, Soaking them in lots of fabric softener doesn't seem to help! I really don't want to buy a whole new set, so any suggestions would be welcome!

My breezeway electrical outlets stopped working one day. We had our freezer and pool which was running on an extension cord ( you know the blow up type) in one outlet for a couple of days. We had not had any problems before this. The overhead light is still working, just the outlets are not. We have stitched out the existing outlet hardwear and tripped all our GFCI switches. The power is okay in the circuit breaker at the electrical amp box. The outlets register negative. We would like to remedy this situation ourselves instead of paying an arm and leg for an electrician. Any suggestions?Thanks

It is an old but perfectly good and functional china set. However, I am into more contemporary things these days.

It is the tall back office chair. It was sitting in my grandfather's basement for about 20 + years would be my guess. The arms are drapped and curved over the front of the chair. I just need to know if someone knows of a website I can go too to see if they have anything like that chair. Someone said that it might be a Herman Miller art deco chair.

I purchased 21 double hung windows for my house and combination storm windows, all Andersen. When I open the storm window on the combination, and open the upper sash on the window, the window howls like blowing over a beer bottle. It does not take much air flow to cause this. It scares my kids and keeps me awake at night. It sounds like a giant pipe organ or house of horrors. We puchased double hung windows with combination screen units to allow ventilation using the upper sash when it rains.
Andersen is one of two companies that offer combination screens with vinyl windows (and the most expensive).
The Andersen folks say they have never heard of this and it must be my house. They also say that it is not a design flaw, and I should just go away.
Has anyone else installed these windows and combination screens had the howling issue ?
Does anyone know how to contact the CEO of Andersen ?

Hi,

We recently bought a detached house in Kent (uk) and had the fireplaces removed and the voids rendered, we've had a sweep in to check they're clear and he gave them the ok. But what do I need to do to make them fireproof and firesafe?

I'm thinking of tiling the floors with some natural slate, but not sure what to do with the rendered walls and back.

Thanks in advance,

Kev
