AC is too expensive to leaving running all the time, and as a result, my windows are always open to allow air flow through my house. How can I prevent household items (pots, pans, anything that can rust) from rusting?

Iam trying to repair a hot tub with leaking pipes and the foam makes it difficult to track the source. If I could somehow disolve the foam, I could find and repair them all.

I'm after only serious answers here....
How do you create heat using no electricty? I'm trying to find a way to heat a room, or at least warm up part of it, without using any electricity. My boyfriend has a basement bedroom with animals in it and pretty much all his plugs are in use for his tv, computer, radio/alarm, and one little ceramic heater which is dying fast... He often tells me that his hands will turn white and today he was so cold he couldnt' stop shaking. I want to figure out how to help him heat his room a little so he's not so cold and neither are the animals (rodents).
Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciate, thank you.

I just started gardening from last spring and I planted a lot of beautiful Dahlias. Someone told me that I should dig out the tubers before winter comes. When should it be? Thanks.

I have a few quilts made by hand by my grandmother and my husband's grandmother. Would you wash them in a front loading washing machine with water and soap or dry clean them?

After pulling up the old laminate tiles in the kitchen I found there to be hardwood floor underneath. I think the hardwood floor would be very nice to keep if there was a way to get the adhesive off the wood without damaging it. If anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.
Cannot use stripper as there is pets and children in the house.

just looking for some color help, not sure where to start, any options you guys think would work well would be great. We have fairly modern taste, so subtle is better

it's a decent hoover, a dyson, apparently doesn't lose a sausage of suction. Will the spider die? Or will it crawl out because of a lack of filter?!
