My husband and I have both woken up over the last couple of mornings with little red spots on our bodies and they itch like crazy. We are the only ones so I'm assuming it has something to do with our bed. The dogs aren't allowed on the bed and they haven't shown any signs of extra scratching. So I think it may be bed bugs! I don't know where they could've come from. My home is a clean home and I change my sheets regularly. How do I get rid of them????

I live in a 100 year old house that needs insulation. I know I need to be very careful and not get something that can mold or settle. I'm at a loss on what I can use. I know there is some kind of new spray that poofs up alot and is light and air tight. Anyone know about this? What else can I use?

I was given a sewing machine and have never used a sewing machine before. I'm trying to figure out what all the parts are on the machine, and wanted to know what the bobbin threading is/does.

I have uncovered my hardwood floor which has has carpeting on it for 50yeasrs. It is in good shape color is fine still has a bit of a shine but I would like to give ir a good cleaning and shine, it will have heavy traffic, the easiest way possible, as I am not up to too much labor intensive work. I have seen restoring kits at HD and LOWES, would this be a possibility?

I noticed in August that huge spots on my grass turn dead and when i lift roots they have whitish stuff, looks like mold. I had always good lawn, now what? What it is? Can it regrow in spring? I live in Florida.

My son burnt popcorn last night and the house smells horrible. I opened up the windows for a little bit but it still did not get the burn smell out. I tried burning some candle and that still didnt work. Any one have any other ideas. It too cold to open up the windows.

I have a metel bed frame with wheels, but I'm not to fond of the way it looks and would like a wood alternative. I've seen wooden bed frames in pictures, but never in stores. I'm talking about just the basic frame - not a head board or foot board. Just a base to set a mattress on. Something very simple and inexpensive. Here is a link that has a picture of what I'm talking about: http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/shopping/product/alternateviews.jsp?iProductID=25429&edpno=289793&picindex=3

It has new windows, kitchen, bath and carpet. I think the smell comes from the basement, which is dry and finished. Any ideas?

The apartment complex I live in will have Terminix come treat the apartment any time it is requested, but I am not sure how often I should ask. They have come twice in the 3 months I've lived here, for roaches & silverfish...now I just have moths. But I don't want to wait until there is a problem again...I think these apartments are not very well insulated.

Any advice or suggestions about how often to get professional bug treatment would be appreciated. Thanks

I live in an apartment. My garden is up on my balcony, exposing my pots to cold elements all around their roots. Since my apartment is small I can not bring all of my plants inside. Last year, I used burlap to swaddle the containers and filled the burlap with mulch.

I was wondering if there is any other ways to protect the roots without using the mulch, because in the spring it was messy and gross to say the least.

Also, I grow trees on my balcony now. How can I prtect their branches? The tree I am most concerned about is a type of GrAfTed willow. It's not a weeping kind, but it forma a round ball with its branches.

Oh! One more thing, I also grow plants by my front door. I read that using leaves as a mulch is fantastic, because as they deacy, they feed the plants. But the leaves are blowing away. How can I get them to stay put throughout EvErY season, and not just winter?

thanks,
sammie

Arizona has moderate temperature in the winters and extreme heat in the summer. I want to use my back yard patio more and I thought if I put a 32" LCD monitor on my concrete wall we would use our back yard more. I would cover the TV when not in use, and it would not get much direct sun light.
