Home & Garden - 1 November 2006

The wax leaked out and puddle collected on the floor. It's a finished (many years ago) oak floor. The wax has been there over six months.

It would be great to have some different methods suggested and I open to give 'em a try.

Thank you for your help.

I am remodeling my home and have the option to run a gas line outside to hook into a barbeque. I don't have the space to do a built in so need to buy a standalone bbq - do they sell regular gas grills that hook into house gas lines and what are the pros and cons of this vs. a regular propane tank grill?

Today after coming from work I decided to wash my clothes.I live on the 3rd floor and the laundry is exactly next door to my apartment. Actually, I had to go to the second floor because the washing machine is broken on my floor. Only the dryer is working. Well, anyway someone was using the washing machine so I decided to leave my dirty cloths and when I returned to see if the washing machine was available someone had been through my clothes as if they was digging dirt from the ground. Also my liquid detergent was spilled on the floor which was in a cap in my laundry. I think that was very nasty to go through someone dirty cloths. I will never leave my clothes in the laundry again. I hope they break out with something for touching my cloths. Sad to say.

I am looking to buy a new upright vacuum. What is the best one out there on the market currently? I vacuum my home frequently (including a staircase). I have a very heavy upright vacuum currently and it is hard to drag up the stairs so I am also looking for a lighter vacuum! Anyone who has bought a new vacuum this year, please respond whether or not you had a good experience with your vacuum please!
Thank you very much!

Does this really work? If I want to empty the jar, will the bugs come out? How do I get rid of the flies when the are in the jar? What if I still want the jar?

I moved into a condo a couple of months ago, and my bedroom is hotter than all of the other rooms. I've had air conditioning technicians come out several times, and the repairs have added up to over $600, but I still have the problem. I can't think of any reason why my room is consistently hotter than all the others. I've had all my ductwork replaced because I was told that the ducts weren't insulated enough, and I've had dampers installed to make sure there's even air flow in every room.

For instance, right now where I live it's about 60 degrees outside. I still have my air conditioner on, and it's about 70 degrees in every room, except my bedroom, which is about 78 degrees. I'm going out of my mind trying to figure out what the deal is.

I'm assuming that there must be something in or around my room that is warming it up somehow. Has anyone else had this problem, do you have any idea what it could be?

I've planted some redwood seeds in a pot in my cube at work, I keep it well watered but it's just sitting under an artificial fluorescent light. Will the seeds grow or do they need the outdoors and real sun?

We're replacing baseboards in older home (built 1941) now that the hardwood floors have been refinished (very pretty!). We need the boards to be about an inch thick (to cover the varying lengths in the edges of the floor), taller (5", at least), and in the darker wood tones to match the wood floors. Do baseboards like this exist? Would we be better off buying and staining our own lumber to make sure we got what we needed?
