I had a party and the wax dripped from a shelf onto a red wall and a dark green cloth upholstered sofa. I have heard opposing suggestions such as using ice or a hot iron over a paper towel. I am afraid to ruin it. Please help!!!

I have a new granddaughter & bought one of those fuzzy, inexpensive, red and white plush Christmas stockings for when they visit over the holidays. Does anyone have a good idea for how to write her name across the top of it? I tried iron-on letters with no luck, had to throw the stocking out and buy a new one. I'm not real "craftsy," so any help would be appreciated. I'd like it to look as nice as possible! Also, I really want to use the plush stocking, it matches the others I already have.

I plan to insulate my 2x8 joists with R 22 and use a foil lined vapour barrier. To anyone who has constructed one, would this be adequate for the sauna ceiling or should I fill the entire cavity?

Oh yeah, flooring on main floor is laminate.

Oh and I'm not rich so I can't spend that much money.

I have read that you can clean the stains with ice, salt and lemon juice. Can this be used with stainless carafes as well as glass? The coffee pot has a lot of build up (it makes up to 5 pots a day).

During the recent ice storm,a branch (big enough to do damage) from my neighbors tree fell and damaged my fence. It will have to be replaced. I have called & left a message twice in the last 4 days with no response from them. What should I do? The house is section 8 so trying to contact just one owner is going to be work. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have fairly new copper plumbing and a two year old tankless water heater and I am having a problem with a sediment containing black, white and grey particals cloging my shower head and my bath tub filler. I even had to clean out the hot valve itself on the bath tub. I have allready instaled a sediment filter where the main comes into the house and it didn't help.
