Here's a list of things I tried..but failed.
Bath soap
Hand soap
Dish detergent
Scalding hot water
Rubbing alcohol

We are building a new house, and I was wondering if it's worth it to hire an Interior Designer.

Opinions?

Give me something electrical/mechanical, I'll take it apart, clean it, fix it and put it back together with all the care of a midwife delivering a baby.

So why can't I manage to pull my cooker out to clean behind it, or lift up my toaster to get to the crumbs underneath?

Is it genetic?

I'm getting married in 4 and 1/2 months and my mom said that she would spend $250 for our wedding present. Well, we really need a bed but mattresses are expensive! So, we are thinking of getting one of those raised or double (the tall) queen sized air mattresses until we have the money to buy a real bed.
My question though is how does an air mattress hold up to sex? Because being newly weds and all that is going to happen quite a bit and i want the bed to hold up. So if anyone has information on this or experience that would be great.

I am fixing up a house to sell and just want a cheap fix for some old yellow/ gold countertops. So I just want to know if the vinyl tiles would work or is there a better alternative?

The soil is sandy, and I put about 25 lbs of fertilizer and lime on the soil last spring before planting fescue. I Watered it everyday and it started to grom and then died. I have not been able to grow anything since. Any and all help would help.
Thanks.

How big of a (fruit, vegetable, and herb) garden would I need to plant and tend to feed myself and perhaps a future partner year-round? This garden would be my/our only source of food save some fruit trees (how many should I plant?) and the occasional fish, rabbit, or squirrel from the local lake and forest?

I intend this to be part of a homestead in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, somewhere within a mile or so of the south shore of Lake Superior, so I know that (due to the long cold winters and relatively short growing season) I'd need to do a lot of canning. Would it be worth it to build a greenhouse for the winter months, or would all the snowfall and blustery winds off the lake negate the benefits?

Where can I find pictures of drapes decorating a wedding church?
I have this idea of having long white fabric drapes hang from the center of the ceiling towards the outer parts of the ceiling in the church on my wedding day but I cant seem to find a sample picture that I could take to the person who will be decorating my wedding.

They are indoors at the moment. Bought them before christmas and now they have finished flowering.
The flowers are still on there. Not sure what's next though. It said on the pot they could be planted in the garden after flowering. Will they take the frost?
And do i just leave the flowers on them or snip those off?
If i plant them in the garden will they form a little colony over the years like some other bulbs do?

I have noticed that I have some noticable paths in my yard, that looks like some sort of creature is under the lawn and tearing **** up. Any way to get rid of this creature before he does more damage to my lawn?!?!

The electrical cable pulls out and springs back when not in use. Although no strain on the cable power keeps turning off - bad connection? No longer under guarantee how do I replace the cable.
