I have a plant that likes sunlight but I want to take it to my office at work. The only problem is that I don't have any windows at all in my office. I do have a "lamp" that I can set close to it with a "UV" protection glass over it (which can be removed). Is there any way to keep it alive without direct sunlight or should I just leave it at home where it can get some?

There isn't any trash in my bathroom, and I keep it pretty clean, but for the past 2 days there has been at least 15 flys found dead in there or flying around. They arn't in any other room in my house and I keep my bathroom door closed. So they are coming from inside that room. I can't figure it out. I've heard of "Drain Flys", but these flys are actual FLYS and they are pretty decent sized. No windows in my bathroom either. So.. Does anyone have any suggestion as to where they are coming from and how I can get rid of them? Please help. I am totally disgusted! lol.

We purchased a home, I love the house its in ok shape but needs some work. With our budget since the purchase, will only allow for the indoor repairs and labor leaving our pool in real bad shape and no additional funds to have a proffessional clean it.
I am not afraid to do it myself but have not found an article that tells me how to clean it. My local pool people wont give advice until they come out to evaluate for a cool 300.00! So, Here is the condition of the pool...any advice is surely welcomed!
1. the entire pool is filled top to bottom with fall leaves.
2.the water is a dark green cannot see the bottom.
3. we have all the gadgets and tools to do it ourselves the previous owners left behind. Last time the pool was used was July of this year.
Where do we start? do we have to empty it? or can the water be salvaged? if we empty it, will it kill the filtering system with all the debris? theres like a half dump truck full in it.
Please Help ! Marie...

I need to put a few bleach stains on a black shirt i have for a christmas gift i am making for a friend. I tested it out and the spot turned brown, but my goal is to get a white spot in areas that i put the bleach. If i let the beach sit on the shirt will the spot eventually turn white?

A few years ago I had a BAD mouse infestation. After they were all gone I forgot I left some glue traps out. This week I started smelling the decomposing mouse smell and after digging found a dead mouse stuck to a glue trap under my dresser. My question is, about how long after a mouse dies does it take before you start to smell it decomposing? Could this mouse have died last year or the year before -or- does this mean I have mice again? (augh)

I have noticed that the vinyl flooring in my kitchen has yellowed some under throw rugs I have in there. Why did it do this and, more importantly, is there any way to remove the yellowing?

I only wanted a belt. The new belt is 4 teeth wide. The old belt is 6 teeth wide. The parts man tells me that I will need to replace my old pulleys if I want to use the new belt, that all the parts on my dryer have been changed. I would like to use a belt like the old one and I have it off the dryer. How can I get a belt for this dryer? Can I go to a belt selling place and just get a belt from them using the numbers on the belt itself and dimensions?

Its an art project-I am thinking of gluing them on- has anyone tried Gorilla Glue? Does it work on tile?or maybe using Epoxy so in a sense they are covered and "grouted together. Could I "glue them on that way or epoxy them in groupings first and then glue the group to the wood? Ideas? The tile is going on a fiberglass piece-glue suggestions for that too---

My house's center beam is wood. It is basically three separate boards put together to make one thick beam. In the middle of one of the beams, there is a 4 foot crack running straight down the middle. Can I replace this piece of wood? It's not near the ends of the house, and it's not near the top or bottom of the board.
