We just bought a new king size bed. I buy the sheets marked as "fits mattress to 19" deep" The fitted sheets are great, however the flat sheets cannot be tucked in, not even close! So if they make a fitted sheet to accomodate a deep mattress wouldnt logic say that the flat sheet should too?! I am really frustrated! Does anyone have any recommendations where I can get sheets that will fit???
Thanks!

I just read the "Painting a stripe" Answer section, and I realize I screwed up by taping off and painting one coat of the stripe first. (I didnt repaint the whole wall first, then tape off and painting the stripe.)

I'm not anxious to paint over the stripe and start from scratch because I'm using magnetic paint ($$).

Ideas welcome!

I'm looking for a sliding glass patio door to replace mine. I would like it to have a little window or a little opening on the top half of the door, so that I can open the window to let fresh air in without having to open the whole door.
I have searched online, but have had no luck finding this so far.
Thank you.

My parents love to sit in their screened in porch outside in the summer, but I'd love them to use it in the winter too. In the winter they put up plastic around the entire porch to keep the wind and cold out. What could I get for them to keep it warm in there? A fire pit usually needs to be outdoors because of the gas it will give off. Any ideas???

Can't scrape the popcorn off (renting). Can't tape it off right? Or the popcorn will come off with the tape. Just paint CAREFULLY with a trim brush? Any ideas?

Just bought a new Queen bed and some new sheets for it. The sheets are fleece (Walmart made in China ones). Is it necessary to launder these sheets before using them?

I always used to wash the new double bed percale sheets before using them but only because it was easy to do. These new sheets are almost the size and texture of blankets.

I built a compost bin about 3 feet X 3 feet X 3 feet and filled it with fall leaves and grass clippings. For about 2 months, I've been stirring in coffee grounds (with paper filters), fruit and veggie peelings, tea bags, etc, while being careful to leave out meat scraps and dairy products. The pile, after being stirred and watered regularly, appears to be decreasing in height, but there's one thing that bothers me. It's quite cold where I live and I've read that a successful compost pile should steam on a cold morning when you turn it (due to the action of the microorganisms speeding the decay along). My pile has yet to do this, and I'm wondering if that means I'm doing something wrong. It appears my composting is working, but is there anything else I could be doing differently?

I've never painted before and want things to go as smoothly as possible.

Thanks for your reply!

So, I'd like to do someting a little different this year, and get a young live tree. I saw some in the store and thought it would be cool. Now, if I do that, how do I make sure this thing I buy will actually live through the season until I plant it? Other than constant watering of course. I 'm talking about care and feeding of said tree. Tired of buying plants and having them die on me. Waste of money, for one thing.

I'm moving home and the seller can't tell me who supplies gas and electricity. It's getting cold and I don't know who to call to get the gas turned on. Can you help?

I have tried vinegar, baking soda, and Tilex without much success. The surface is black rubber and I don't want to discolor or dull finish.

I want to paint my bathroom, but at the top of my tub enclosure, there is a 2 1/2 strip all the way around that has mostly detached. I am afraid to remove it because I don't know how to fix it, I know it's the tape. What do I do do fix this problem? Did they (who ever did this job) put the wrong pain on it after taping, did they use the wrong tape? If they used the wrong tape, what is the right one? If it's the wrong paint, what is the correct paint?
I didn't think it mattered what kind of paint you used in the bathroom, I know it would matter if you used wallpaper, but not paint.
Maybe they used the wrong cauking? I know there is special cauking that is made especially for the bathroom (where there is water) was that the problem? Please let me know. I want to paint the bathroom but can't till I solve this problem.
Thanks for any answers.
