Home & Garden - 23 October 2006

Our kitchen is partially hardwood(old yellowy color) and ceramics where the appliances, sinks and cupboards are. We want to redo the floor all in one type of ceramic, but are hoping to avoid the removal of both if possible. Any thoughts? Thanks

Why do people put gallon jugs of water on their lawn and in their gardens? I've tried to figure this out for years, and everybody gives me a different answer. I'm really curious!

At least I think that is the problem. Stains weren't in the clothes before washing. It is darker spots throughout the clothes. I've had this appear on a few articles within the past few months. It is an apartment building machine I use.
Thanks for your help!

Holy smokes I forgot how much ash a fireplace produces! It's time to clean mine out... we've been in our new house for about 6 months now and I haven't lived in a home with wood heat for many years. Growing up my dad always used a metal bucket that he set outside for a while before he dumped it. I don't have a metal bucket, so I haven't had a fire for over 12 hours to make sure there aren't any hot buds in there. I'm just going to use some grocery sacks, etc but I'm wondering what other people use or if you have any tips/tricks?? Thanks!

The house is clean, but the flies are still sticking around and multiplying. They seem to like the bathroom the most, or atleast that is where the greater quantity of them seem to reside.
