I tried to block the left, top, and right cracks with foam weaterstrippers, but it didn't decrease the sound passing through the door by that much. I'm thinking maybe I should hang a carpet on the outside of my door so that it would absorb sound before it passed through my door? I tried putting a carpet on the inside of my door but it didn't really help all that much, but it might be more effective to put it on the outside?

I mean some people hate trees eventhough they know that they are good for the environment in many ways.

Some people just hate them...I have a neighbor who had four large oaks on the endge of his property, which were not dangereous or were not "bad" in any way. But he got all of them removed.

Why do people hate trees?

or in the backyard that you remodeled, bought or was inherited? And if so did you give it back to previous owners or at least let them know about it?

I have some minor dirt stains in my beige carpet from my kids. Not such a big deal that I want to replace carpet but I'd like to deep clean it for the holidays. I purchased a steam cleaner from Walmart and I wasn't impressed. My last resort is to rent a rug doctor. Just wanted to get anybody's opinion whose used one before. Thanks.

This noise can occur at any time of day, including the middle of the night. It can be so loud that it wakes everyone up. It never lasts longer than a few seconds then is gone. The frequency is anywhere from 0 to 3 times per day and the interval is unpredictable. It's difficult to locate the source but seems to come from a plumbing wall between the bathroom and the kitchen. Someone suggested that it is something 'looking for water'. The only things that match that in our home are the water softener on regenerate and the solenoid activated spray humidifier.

I have 8 peace lilies at my home. Number One is in the window of my office which is facing eastish. It is sagging greatly...the leaves are pretty much laying on my desk. Numbers Two and Three are on a low table in my dining room between the dining room table and a southish facing window......they are surrounded by (in other pots of course) azeala cuttings, and small trees...they are sagging a little. Numbers Four and Five are above Two and Three sitting on the dining room table....they are sagging enough that some of the leaves are touching the table. Numbers Six and Seven are in the back kitchen window (north facing) and are doing descent...I haven't noticed any sagging. Finally Number Eight is on the Kitchen table about 4 or more feet away from ANY window and is not sagging but the edges are browning. I have overwatered the plants causing the water to drip to the floor. Watering is each Monday. I was very sick for a two weeks and missed a watering. What am I doing wrong?

I recently bought a tight leather sofa and noticed that there are several wrinkles on the arm, probably from the transport. Will these eventually disappear or do I have to do something to fix it?
