I'm trying to sell my home and a woodpecker family keeps boring holes in the cement finish. I fill it and repaint it and back they come! I can't put owls or snakes up while the house is on the market. Help!

The stains were caused by lawn sprinklers hitting the opposite side of the wall.

I've already used some soaps (like Orange Clean), and rinsed with water. But it still is sticky when the water dries. Help me with this, please.

Ok my parents just said I can have another present up to the value of £50. So I am willing to add a little bit on if it's slightly over but I don't know what to have.

I like computers, music, films, etc but I have access or have a lot of things. I don't know what to get, :S

Done the prep work, compaction etc? How did you do it and how did the project come out and hold up? What did you learn that might be a good tip to help me do my own? This is in a non frost/heave climate. Thanx!

We just installed new carpeting in a store and the employees say that the smell of formaldahyde is overwhelming. Apparently the glue that they use to put the carpet down contains the substance. They say that they are getting red eyes by the end of the day. Does anyone know how to get rid of the smell of how long it takes to dissipate

Roof started leaking this morning in one spot. Unfortunately I can not afford to fix it right now. Any quick fixes or things I can do to insure it will be alright until I can afford to fix it?

Our dog and cat shed everywhere, and the only places that we aren't able to keep clean are the hardwood floor in the living room and the Pergo floor in the kitchen. We've tried everything from our vaccuum cleaner to a Swiffer to a dust mop, but we can't ever pick up all of the hair. What has worked for you?

Would there be a symptom? How dry should clothes be when they are spun up? Would your clothes be wetter if this coupler was defective? Does it eventually become less efficient? How do I know when it is bad?

I live in Southern California, so the weather is mostly good all year round. Last year I planted two apple trees in the hopes that they would cross-pollinate, but one of the trees (the stronger and larger of the two) seems to be confused about the seasons. It buds late and drops its leaves late, and it has only produced a few apples. The other tree seems to be doing just fine and, thankfully, somebody else around here has an apple tree, so it is producing well. Is there anything I can do to help it "reset" to the correct season?

And it seemed to quiet dryer a bit? I had already lubed the belt pulley and cleaned and lubed the rollers. But the dryer had this clicking sound on each revolution. So some light grease around the felt seating rotational area and it quieted down. I just want to know if that is a no no or not and why?

I have enamel surface shower and it's more than 10 years old. There's no fan but there is a window. Clorox bleach product use to work, but not anymore. Surface now turns brown on contact with any strong bleach solution. I think the surface has worn down. Clorox customer support suggested using hydrogen peroxide, but it doesn't work.
