Does any one know the name of the grass seed seen on T.V.? It says that it will grow on cinderblocks and stuff? I missed the name of the company and the web site or phone number. Can anyone help?

My husband does music and we want to build a shed type building (8x10 or larger) so he can use it as a studio.
Making it into a studio isn't the problem, he knows what he needs for that part of the project, but we aren't sure how to build the building itself.
We are putting it in the backyard and just want a cheap and basic design.
If anyone knows how to build one or knows of a site that has plans and all that, I would greatly appreciate it!!!

Our tub is textured and we have soft water. I've tried different mats and the suction cups on the bottom of the mats won't stick to tub. My kids have slipped and fell several times and I have slipped, but caught myself, several times. I used Scrubbing Bubbles but that didn't help. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Small, black, looks like a flea. It crawls slowly and I have found TONS in my bedroom. There had never been any food or anything that I think would attract bugs in there or near there.

I live in an apartment with no outlet outside. I want to plug in a strand of lights for halloween. Leaving a door or window open to run an extension cord in is out of the question. I'm pretty sure I've seen things that are battery powered, but you can plug a regular socket into them and run lights outside without having anything connected inside. I forgot what they are called and if someone could help me it would be great. I just need a way to plug in the lights when there is no outlet outside at all. And I definantly can't leave a door or window cracked to slide a cord in.

I am living in a fairly old, restored house. On the main level where the kitchen, dinig room, living room, and 2 of the 4 bedrooms are it is nice and warm all the time, and that is also where the thermostat is. Upstairs there are the 2 remaining bedrooms. What the problem is, is when the heat is turned high enough to keep the upstairs bedrooms at a reasonable temperature, then the downstairs is way too hot, and the heating bills are rediculous. So what I need is any sort of reasonably priced ideas for keeping heat in, or warming up just the upstairs level of the house. Please keep in mind we are a house full of students, with not alot of money to spare.

I don't have much luck with votives and anytime I burn them, the little candle holder is put them in is usually ruined forever becuase I can never get all the old wax out. I just bought 2 stemmed votive candle holder as part of my holiday decor and would like to keep them clean-not getting messed up the first time I have to switch candles. I have tried the adding water in the bottom method-but it never works.

An ink pen leaked & I have a few small ink spots on my desk, It's one of those big U-shaped desks, and no, it's not wood type looking. It's one of those when you dust it, all you do is use a damp cloth.

We recently moved. We hooked up the dryer and now it doesn't heat up the way it used to in the old place. I usually have to run the clothes through twice in order for them to dry all the way through.
