My two year old son peed in the toilet, then put a stuffed football in it and tried to flush. He somehow managed to flood the bathroom and the hallway. Now, I can't get the nasty smell out no matter how much I shampoo and febreeze. Any suggestions, or do we have to just rip the carpet and padding up and lay new???

I can't afford to pay a pest control person to come take care of the fleas, so what's the best "at home remedy" to get rid of fleas in your house? They are biting us, and I need to do something before it gets even worse.

Thanks in advance! :o)

I have a thick silk black shirt that I got some foor grease/oil on during dinner last week. I have hung and want to know if there's anything I can do at home to get it clean and not bleed/discolor. It is hardly noticeable, but still want it out.

Any ideas?

Does anyone know the phone number or address for the manufacturer of Carefree Heather carpets. I had one of these installed 18 months ago and it is in terrible condition - the hessian backing is seperating from the pile. The bloke we bought it from also installed it, and although we have contacted him on numerous occassions, and despite promises of visiting us and contacting the manufacturer, we have yet to have any sort of result. He will not give us the details of the manufacturer but the carpet is dangerous and it needs replacing asap. Can anyone help?

This person is a concrete finisher. I have already bought him a nice watch for going out, but he really needs one for work. What do you recommend for a good, inexpensive (under $100), tough watch for a very rough, dusty job?

I have a condo. It is built like a town house (end unit). It is 3BR, 1FB 1HB, 1,400 SF. The bedrooms upstairs are kind of small. I was thinking of knocking out the wall of one of the largest rooms to merge two rooms. It would almost make a master br. Is this acceptable. I was told this would lower the value of the house. Also we have a Dinning Room that is between the living rom and Kitchen. I was thinking of getting rid of the DR and making the Living room bigger and making a eat in kitchen?

Is there a difference between DeWalt and any other brand. I have a craftsman 18V drill. It has worked nicely for what I've done. I don't know any difference with the DeWalt though

We just rearranged our living room furniture and our tables left those ugly carpet indents on the other side of the room. How can I get rid of those?

There is a lot of clothes in the piles but we dont have a washing machine so we would have to wait until we can get to the laundry mat which might be next week. I am getting bit all over in the meantime though and they itch really bad. If I set a flea bomb off will it kill the fleas in the pile as well or do I have to wait?
