I've been making a series of wood prints using large cut sections of a tree and I've been unable to kill a steadily increasing amount of green and white crud growing on either side of the sections.
Bleach hasn't worked, and the stuff even grows over the ink once it's dried.

i thought of using soap to clean off the grime on a plate and count the number of strokes (with the same ammount of force) it took to clean off the plate but i couldnt figure out what to stain the plate with or to put on the plate to test this idea.

My boyfriend will give me flowers everyonce and a while (for dances, or just because) and I like to keep them like my mom has kept all the flowers my dad has given her. The only thing is everytime I try to put my flowers (the bulbs or tops and petals) in a bag (plastic) they always get mold on them and don't dry properly I'm guessing.
How can I dry them right??? I don't want to keep them if they keep getting moldy and yucky...
Please help?

I have an old bissell vacuum with the bags. It runs great and I still have plenty of extra bags to use yet. But...every time I use it - it reeks! If I use it for more than one minute - the vacuum emits a sour smell reminicent of cat urine.
I've tried changing the bag, I've tried using baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg, carpet deodorizers... but nothing gets the smell out of my vacuum. Is there a way to rid the thing of the smell without having to chuck it in the garbage dumpster and getting a new one? Any suggestions or helpful household hints?

Hi, I am planning on cutting a tree and applying Roundup on the stump to kill the tree and its roots. Since the tree is so large and old and its roots run so deep & all over the place, we have decided to leave the roots in the ground and hope that they'll decay on their own overtime. My question is if we leave the roots killed by Roundup in the ground, will the herbicide reamain in the roots and kill other plants that we do want growing near and over the tree roots if their roots happen to grow into the dead or decaying tree roots?????? I am concerned for the health of my other plants and grass...any advice???

I took advice and had my home inspected before I bought it so that I would have peace of mind when I bought it. Less than a week after I moved in my toilet started backing up and even coming up through the bathtub. I had a plumber come out and he said my sewer lines were full of tree roots and I would need to have all new sewer lines put in and that the inspector should have known the plumbing was bad because of the water pressure from the stool. What can I do now that I have already moved in and bought the house? Could I sue the guy who did my inspection or am I basically out of luck??? ANY help would be appreciated. I was told it would be at least $1500 to replace the sewer lines and I am flat broke after just buying this house. HELP!!!!

My crock pot "pot" comes out for easy cleaning. I just made soup in my crock pot and it boiled over, into the pot that heats up (and isn't water submersible). It's a crusty dried on mess. Any suggestions on how I can clean it without ruining my crock pot? (I LOVE my crock pot . . . ).

I have seen this on houses near the ocean. It's not the same color, just shades of blue. Is it an old nauticle superstition?
