Home & Garden - 15 December 2006

We had heard to rub it with nail polish remover and a rag and tried it but it doesn't work. Its been in the fabrics for about 2 weeks and we can't get it out. Really need to get these out! Help please!

We made the mistake of buying our tree too early this year. We have had it a couple of weeks now. It is 9ft tall and the bottom half you can practically see right through!! Any suggestions at all??
We will definitley wait until much later next year to get a tree!

Where i work people hang posters on the walls of the restroom. When the posters are removed, the tape stays behind. This has lead to there being lots of little strips of tape all over the walls. Not just the adhesive, but the actual piece of tape. I have tried knife blades and razors (did as much damage to the paint as it did in removing the tape), goo gone, paint thinner and soapy water (not at the same time--none of them did a thing) and my fingernails-nothing. Any other ideas?

I'm currently finishing my basement and I'd like to soundproof a few walls. Is there a certain material that I can place within the walls to do this?

The refrigerator was left to me when i bought the house last year. So, i don't know how old it is. It was working fine except it makes this "clunk" sound everytime the motor stop. It just stop working all of sudden. The motor is still running, but no cold air produced.

The ceiling light in my kitchen goes on when I flick the switch. Then after about 10 minutes, it goes off. Then back on after another 10 minutes and is driving me crazy. Replaced bulbs but didn't solve problem. Any ideas on how to fix this? Please help, thanks!

i just bought 60 acres of land in huntington w.v. and i noticed some type of pond about 20 feet by 50 feet in one part of it. without going into a lot of money i would love to turn it into a nice spot on the property to come sit and relax at. would love to see some frogs or turtles around it or maybe fish in it. maybe even build a small pier or deck in one spot. there is a lot of weeds and brush around it. any advice on how to clean up and decorate the area inside and outside of the pond? thanks in advance!

I've tried windex, mr clean, and tub & tile cleaner with bleach in it (which I let sit for several minutes). Nothing has worked. Any help is appreciated!

The people who worked on the roof they closed eleven holes in the roof for roof-vent with shingles, and they installed vents afterwards.

Now the contractor says there is no problem in installing Vents and Drip edge after the roof work is done? Is he telling truth??

I really want to be a culinary artist and I'm looking for chef knives. There are just so many out on the market I have no idea. Shun, Kershaw, etc. I need something reasonably priced being a college student and all, great quality, will last a long time, and looks good. I would prefer a kit (I would think it to be cheaper so I wouldn't have to by all the knives separately) with a bag, not a case. The only brand I really don't like esp look wise is Carbon. Which brand should I get and why?
