My loft is just used for storage, but I'd like to use it as an art studio. I was wondering the cheapest way to make it safe and usable. I can do without a window, but I know the floor has to be re-inforced and the eaves need covering. Can anyone help?

I went camping a couple weeks ago, and, of couse, I had to pee. But I couldn't help but wonder if peeing outside is bad/good for the environment.

I have a Carrier furnace - model # 58PAV. It is intermittently going off. I turn it off and turn it back on and it starts right back up. It was doing it maybe once a week. Lately it has been doing it several times a day.Today I saw the pilot light try to ignite and it would not ignite.. What could be the cause of this and is it something that is costly to fix?

Also on the furnace I noticed there is a card that says IGNITOR REPAIRED 2-06. I moved in to this house in March of 06. The furnace is 6 yrs old. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I essentially am looking for a carpet/floor upright vaccum cleaner. I was looking around in stores and found a lot of choice however. I notieced the following things about various brands.

1. Bissell = Seems to be the cheapest and offers more features for it's price but looks kind of flimsy. Is this a good brand. Offers 1 yr warranty.

2. Dirt devel = Cost a little more and looks better. Offers 2 yr warranty?

3. Hoover = I know this is a well known brand but all I was able to see was the steamvacs. My mom had one and it's about 4 yrs old. Its very good still cleans up.

Also I noticed Canaster Vacuum cleaners. What are the advantages of these? What is the purpose of having a canaster? I just don't want to get a habbit of purchasing a vacuum every 1 year because it breaks....

My fence on one side shows the braces/cross beams, and the other two sides its all flat like what "would" face the street.

Some boards are rotten and I want them changed-yet if its not mine-why bother you know! Also- I have outdoor art and climbing vine that can just cover it- so what IS MINE?

Oh-just ask the neighbor- that won't happen- we are the boheimians in this neighborhood-my back yard is my only self expression! I am literally moving all my stuff out back to make the front generic looking to please the homeowners assn. OR [seniors with nothing to do organization!] No offense to seniors!

I'm actually an artist- Masters Degree in Fine Art-yet can't put it up at my home-kinda sucks you know! Yet the neighbor has concrete skunks and deer! Oh gee!

I always take showers and never sit down in my bathtub but it always looks dirty even when it's just been cleaned. I don't know if it's hardwater or some kind of build up but its embarassing because people probably think my tub is dirty all of the time. What can I do to make my bathtub white again?

Why? What pests do you intend to kill?

Or are you killing the weeds and encouraging grass to grow?

Do you fertrilise your lawn?

Do you hate dandelions? What about daisies and wax-caps?

There is a lack of information on this topic. I've read the manufacturers website but I would like to hear it from the consumers.

I am trying to do thing right the first time by getting the right cookware, bakeware, and knifes that I wont have to replace in a year or two because of rust or it starts to chip like those old stile pots and pans then goes in the food.

Does anyone know what is the best kind of cookware to get for everyday cooking, and why.
