The exhaust vent on my furnace is to low, we are always hitting our heads. Can I get some elbows and go up, then back down on its way out?

If you have a guest stay for one night (someone that is not likely to come again in the near future) and they do not remove the linen.
Do you think...
they are selfish?
they don't know how to take off the sheets?
they think that all guests in your house sleep on the same used linen?
none of the above?

What do you think?

I am considering engineered flooring of good quality, since you can get better value for exotic wood. the sample i am considering is natural dark wood, which is expensive with solid hardwood. the Aluminum oxide coating with prefinished flooring cannot be applied on site, and makes the wood more resistent.

We have our florida vacation home, which we use for a few months every winter, the rest of the year it sits empty. So the toilets dry up after a few months, then bugs, rats, and other creatures get into the house through it.

Any ideas on how to get them to not evaporate, or stop the bugs etc from coming in while we are gone over the long period?

I have seen ads for little buckets where you plant a veggie plant, such as tomatoes in them and they hang upside down.
They look good in the pictures but we all know they make pictures look good.
Has anyone here ever used them and if so, how did they do???
I am going to grow a large garden this year and was thinking of ordering one of them to see how they are made and making more of them and hanging them on a cable across the yard, but don't know whether to gamble the small amount of funds I have going that route.
If you have ever used one or know someone that has, please let me know.
God Bless
Dennis

Is there any type of palm tree that can grow outside in Mo? I suppose I would have to settle for one in a planter and move it inside. If so what type has an interesting trunk and typical fronds? How large can I expect it to grow? Would my brother be able to send me one from California successfully? How could it best be shipped? I am also looking for inexpensive artificial palm trees for church table decorations. Also does anyone know of a discount outlet for artificial palm trees 4-8 ft. tall? Thanks.

Recently single. Can use washing machine and the likes but need help on the finer points of house chores. A lot of cotton and cotton blend shirts these days come with labels that say "DO NOT BLEACH". Anyone out there got a good method for getting shirts white.
