Home & Garden - 8 January 2007

What would your ideal home look like if you had as much money as you wanted? Personally, I'd live in an ancient greek temple. There would be a giant statue of me in the center. I'd have a huge garden and a lot of trees and a pond with an small island in the center.

Does it depend on the gauge of wire? Or can I just pop out that breaker and add a bigger amp?

We painted most of it Saturday. Second coat yesterday and touched up a few places today. We did all this indoors. I moved the paint can outside. The changing table is still inside. Paint fumes are still lingering. Will they go away? We used Rustoleum sateen finish smooth protective enamel; ideal for furniture, fixtures and outdoor decor. Says it is safe for childrens toys, etc.

It is a City building (high rise) with a central heat/ac plant that is out of whack with my office because of sun exposure and fixed (permantely sealed closed ) windows. The building is black and in the winter when they turn on the heat, my office fries. I cannot access outside air

We're about to move into a new place and I've decided to decorated my husband's bathroom a black and white look. I just bought a vinyl shower curtain that's a soft white and has blocked black and gray boxes on it. It's really nice and trendy. But I don't know if I should go with black rugs and red bathroom accessories or just black rugs and accessories. I would like a touch of red in the bathroom but I don't know where to add it. I know how to decorate when I already have the items but I don't know how to pull different colors together to create a dramatic effect. Any advice would be appreciated it!!!!

I have tried simply washing it but the hair seems to not want to come out --- I don't own a cat so am hoping that a cat owner may have a trick to share. Thanks

I need some wheat straw. I found some at Michaels, the arts & crafts store, but it is expensive (I need a lot). I was told to visit a feed store, where I would be able to buy it by the bushel for only a few dollars. I also need to pick up some other things (hay and hydrated lime). I live in NYC and have tried the Yellow Pages and Craigslist with no luck.

What are feed stores also known as and where would I locate one?

I guess they are the ordinary plastic white window blinds...
Anyways, wiping them down with a damp rag is kinda hard to do! The blinds keep moving and the dirt is just still sticking to the blinds. I was just wondering if there is an easier way to do it?

My bf is a smoker and I want to know if there is anything I can use to clean the air (it seems stuffy) in certain rooms. I heard there are things you can buy.

We are having an addition put on the back of our house (720 sq. ft). Our contractor said he underbid the job and he is having to take about $20,000 out of his pocket to finish the job. We have a written contract that states the total amount and estimated time for completion. I have called him and left messages, but he hasn't called me back. I am half tempted to go to his home and see what is going on. I am very angry and confused. He has enough money to cover the whole project...all we have to pay is his profit when the job is complete. What are my rights? What should I do? There are only 35 more days left until the estimated time is up for the job. Should I get an attorney? We have a covered structure with 2 x 4's and wall partitions, and tyvek plastic on the outside. We are waiting on shingling the roof, electrical, insulation and drywall, cabinets, flooring. I am so lost. Somebody please help!!!!
