Chimney is 85 years old.We've sprayed the it with a hose to find the leaks, then caulked, sealed flashing, sealed masonry and it still leaks. I've repointed areas where concrete was loose. Found rotted concrete behind the pointed areas that I've repaired indicating that all of the concrete behind the pointing is moist white powder. The leaks just seem to redirect to new areas.

After washing towels for quite sometime, they mostly end up with BLACK PATCH on the centre. What is that? Why it appears? Something wrong with my washing machine? I did the towel laundry separately from other clothings.

I bought a medium hoodie and i would like to shrink it to a small. I just washed it but i didn't shrink much. It's 80% cotton and on the inside of the sleeves its lined with polyester. How could I shrink it? Do you guys think if i soak it in hot water and without drying wringing it out and getting some of the water out just put it in the dryer? Or will that ruin the jacket?

We have a friend Staying in our guest room untill he gets back on his feet and then finds a place to rent. He smokes in the guest room, we have told him not too under any circumstances and he apologised and said he wouldn't anymore. I have come home on different occasions and the guest room has obviously been smoked in. We have confronted him numerous times about it.

We have young children in our home. And the smell it leaves in the carpets and furniture is left for almost forever, not too mention numerous other reasons one should not smoke in other peple homes.

He has no where else to go and we don't want to have to kick him out onto the streets, but this needs to stop. Any ideas?

I normally use it for my bathtub/ bathroom sink.
I don't know if there will be a problem if used on a kitchen sink.
I mean that's where you put/wash your dishes and it might be harmful to your body. Anyone ever done it?
