You should know I am a single mom with no carpentry experience. I just pulled out the carpet in my living and dining rooms and laid 3/4" oak wood on top of the red paper. I have so much left over and would love to attack my stairs that are now carpeted. The floors were my first project and I am so pleased with them. Am I being overly ambitious to take this project on - or can you provide me with some helpful tips?

Thank you ever so much!

Our toilet has a really nasty sulphur smell, and it HASN'T been used (so this isn't due to, ahem, human business). The tank has been flushed and it's been sitting unusued. It appears to flush normally too after it's been used.
So what would be causing that smell during it's idle time?

Thanks.

I am about to buy a condo, but don't want to display my clothes and other items that usually hide behind closed doors. Does anybody have a good suggestion for fixing this, besides the curtain with the rod trick? Thanks!

My partner suggested I go on holiday whilst the decorators are in, but I feel guilty. He would be happy and would get on better without me. He has great taste and we have discussed it all.

We're coming close to finishing a home remodel and will need to landscape the front and back yards plus install a driveway. We're in the San Jose, CA area. We're not looking for a lot of hardscape, but will want a patio and then mostly grass with some bushes around the sides. I'm not looking for a quote, but would like to know a ballpark for what I should expect landscapers to quote me. Is this $1k? $5k? $10k?

I recently bought a new set of luggage and it has a smell to it that I don't want my clothes to smell like it when I land. Anyone have any idea of how to get odors out before I use this luggage?

Over the weekend I called an electrician, who told me it would cost 30.00 to find out my electrical problem. After checking around the house for an hr. I was billed $575.00 and my problem was not fixed. Is this legal? What recourse do I have?
