My husband installed a low flow toilet yesterday because he accidentally broke our tank when trying to fix it=) What the hell good is a low flow toilet if you have to flush the damn thing twice to get TOILET PAPER to go down?

Oh...the frustration!

I'm a big Do-It-Yourselfer and am in the market for some new cordless power tools. I've always trusted Dewalt tools, but have read a bunch of reviews lately and it seems as though their products might have dropped in quality. Has anyone had an experience with the recent Dewalt products? Also, are there any other brands you would recommend?

or using very little of it. I put a screen room on my deck. The contracter said the deck would last providing that it wasn't exposed to alot of direct water. It hasn't been. I have got a new puppy who has made a mess out there, though and it needs a good scrubbing. The deck is painted and sealed as well.

I have these two big Haitian floor pillows. They're beautiful, but they stink! The smell is awful. It's potentially embarrassing. They're too big to fit in the washer. How can I clean them?

Thanks!

does it burn more oil to turn your thermostat down low at night, like 62 and keep it that way till morning then turn it up when you get up to about 70?
or keeping it at 70 all night?
I know it sounds stupid, but the furnace has to run longer to get it warmer in the morning, if I turn it down, as to, if I let it alone (common sence)
It's just that it gets way too warm in my upstairs, and i can't afford to have things switched over to 'zone' heating.

Any answers would be appreciated.

So, my shower had mold in it...I wiped it away, used some spray, etc. But apparently it was too late, and that mold has actually turned the stuff in between the tiles (grout?) a different color...into a dark brown/black! Is there any way to get that stain out? NONE of the sprays work. The tile is a different color now, so, not sure what I can do.
