It is a wood table, the legs are white. They are looking a little blah and I just want to freshen them up a little bit. Is sandpaper necessary or can I just give them a good cleaning and then paint them?

Recently the drains in the bathroom and kitchen of our recently purchased 1940's house have begun making bubbling and gurgling sounds just after the water leaves. The drain works fine, perhaps a tiny bit slow, but it sounds like there is some air or something down there. Is this something I can safely ignore or does it needs some preventative maintenance? There is no backwash or anything like that, just 10 seconds or so of gurgling at the end of the draining process.

I live abroad in Turkey and have a grape vine in the garden that I want to move but don't know if it will kill it. The weather here is like early autumn, late spring in britain.
Are there any precautions I should take while moving it.
It does look as if it's dormant at the moment.

Someone told me that fenceposts are dipped in preservative that contains small amounts of cyanide. I have been given a load of off-cuts that I wanted to use on my living room fire, but am now unsure whether it is safe to do this? Anyone know about this please?

The tree is in a large pot, in the kitchen. It doesn't get much direct sunlight, it is regularly watered but not overwatered. It lost it's leaves last winter but recovered, though this winter it seems to be losing far too many leaves?

So I was out last night at the Christmas Ball, had too much to drink, got awfully drunk.
Basically, I need to know how to clean red wine out of pillows? I won't go into details. But I really need to know! They're not downy. Just normal ones. Can I machine wash them? Would they dry?

I work night shift and i need to sleep during the day. I live in an apartment that won't allow me to hang curtains or put nails in the wall. All I have over the window is a venitian blind. I have tried many things. Currently i have this huge piece of plastic over the window secured with two way tape, but it keeps getting gaps in it and it allows the light to come through. I live in a very hot climate so the heat makes the tape loose also. Anyone out there have any ideas for a nice dark room ?

We moved into a new house with hard water and we have a water softener. We have the same washer & dryer as before, and are using the same detergent, but seem to be ruining clothes because colors are running or bleeding. Could the water be contributing to or causing this?

My new apartment has a mildly sloped floor. My desk chair has wheels and will roll irritatingly when I'm trying to work. Any ideas how I can get it to stop rolling? I've even considered getting a new office chair without wheels but I can't find a single wheel-free office chair.
