My teenage daughter wants to paint her room green to give it a preppy feel. Does anyone have the name of a good color of green paint to go with a hot pink bedspread?

So about 2 months ago I discovered a hole outside at the corner of the house leading to under the house near the kitchen and I've seen what I think are chipmunks scurrying into that hole when we open the kitchen door to go outside. I have also hear something scurrying under the bathtub which is behind the wall of the kitchen. Whatever it is I only thought was in the walls and didn't have access to the interior of the house. Guess I was wrong b/c over the past week I've had holes mysteriously appearing at the unopened end of loaf bread and bagels which sits in a large bowl on top of the microwave. Whatever it is doesn't touch fruit, crumbs on the floor and can't get in the cabinets but is eating the bread...and lots of it. A rat? A chipmunk? Our cat has been interested in *something* under the stove and dishwasher since a little after we moved in back in the spring but he hasn't caught anything. Haven't seen any droppings. Any suggestions on what it is and what we need to catch it?

I have a large center window measuring 53" wide and two side windows measuring 26" each, for an overall width of 105". These are north facing windows and they become cold at night. I do not want to cover the entire window and lose my view or light. I hope someone will have a great idea for what type of window treatments would work best for me.

This is my second one in les than 5 months. Pipes just got holes and water comes out under my house. Than it takes days before we can see leaks. Last time 32000 gallons of water came before we realized that we had a leak.
I can't afford to repipe whole house, does any one know how I can prevent this to happen again...
Thanks!

They have ordinary stand offs at the home improvement stores. But I'm looking for the kind that hooks onto the roof. I have a deep soffit(?) and I need to install some gutters. Where do I buy one??

It goes out at daybreak. The only function that doesn't work is the actual motion feature. I've tried resetting it via the circuit breaker but no luck there. The red light is blinking as if it's waiting to detect motion. When I do reset it at night, it doesn't wait for motion, it automatically comes on and remains on. I didn't keep the instructions for it but I'm guessing it's time to replace it. Any other ideas? It's a Journeyman type model and only survived one storm. Immediately following the storm, it didn't work at all. It eventually began to work in its current state after the first reset I tried. The sensitivity switch is at the lowest setting and my light on timer is set to one minute.

I can't remove the panel at the bottom to get to all the stuff underneath. It tilts upward, but not enough so that I can do anything without holding it up. This is an old Kenmore dishwasher and the wiring doesn't look like the pictures I am finding online. Help!
