Were can I get a plans for a good storage shed about 12 x 16 ft? What is the best type? Not much snow here. Lots of rain in winter. Must build soon and fast, so simplicity and low-budget a plus.

OK, seriously. I know it's gross, but I think there is a dead animal in the wall and we're having a party tomorrow. It's not as overpowering as I remember it, and I'm suprised that there aren't a lot of flies like I remember happening when I was a kid. But it sure smells like a rat! Could something else cause that smell? My house is on a slab. It has an attic, and I saw droppings up there, but I didn't see or smell anything up there. I smell it near our front door, but only inside the house. Any ideas or suggestions?

I just moved and nothing will remove the stains from the tub. I'm sure that its not dirt but I am hoping that the stains aren't permanent.

I just spent about $900 bucks for a table and chairs. It was 1/2 off and it is quality furniture, How do I protect it from stains etc. Should I have a glass top made or should I wax it or how do you protect your wooden table tops?

I was just at a class at my college and my BIO techer said that most apple seeds are sterile. He said that the only way to make them reproduce was by grafting. I can understand grafting to make a better offspring and sweeter fruit, but are apple seeds really sterile ?

I just wanted to see how high the temperature would go. Then I smelled something getting too hot. Now the "Made In China" label on its back is all wavy. But it still works.

I have a brick ranch house, built about 60 years ago. The crawl space above the ceiling and under the roof is not that high to be working in...it can be done though.

The current insulation, which is of a loose type, (I have no idea on what type it is) has shrunk to about a 1/2 inch in thickness.

Which is better, economically? Which is better to put in, considering the small working space? I have approx. 1600 sq. ft. to insulate.
