The tag says to machine wash in cold and lay flat, warm iron if needed. If I want to shrink it should I stick it in the dryer?

Don't know what else to try. Some yellowing still inside too. Everytime I use the microwave now, it still smells like smoke coming out.

I have the most beautiful white orchid in my bathroom window by the garden tub. It has grown and bloomed consistently since April. It now has 3 stems full of blooms. How much longer will it bloom?

I'm looking for patterns for lodge and cabin decor, found some good ones at Winfield Collections, but would like a site that offers advise on the proper tools to use along with the patterns.

My drywaller (husband) did a sloppy job drywalling and I can see seams and cracks, is there something besides wallpaper I can put on the walls? I was thinking ragging (paint) might look all right, any input helpful.

Our children have clogged up our toilet. I have tried plunging it, but it isn't unclogging. However, the problem is this... Normally, after time, the water will eventually go down and you can plunge and it will be fine. But right now, that isn't happening. It is staying full and keeps overflowing even though it isn't running. I have to keep emptying it with a bucket. Then it fills up again. Does anyone know how to fix this? I tried to turn the water to the tank off, but it started leaking.

I hope someone can help me!!!

Thanks so much!

God Bless!

I'm not sure what I need, band saw, miter saw, jig saw or what?? There are so many different power tools to choose from, I have become overwhelmed when I go to look at them. I also need to find a good supplier for all the accessories.

A skunk has moved in underneath my dining room. My house is partial basement and partial crawl space (where the previous owners added on). The skunk moved in where some raccoons used to hang out. I was not a fan of the raccoons either. We were plotting to get rid of them, but they pretty much went away one day. Or got into a territory dispute with a skunk. It's spraying and making the whole house smell awful. It makes me feel like throwing up and makes it very difficult to sleep. Suggestions PLEASE!!! We borrowed a live trap and are attempting to lure it with peanut butter. Any other tips would be VERY HELPFUL! Thanks!
