Can they come up through a drain or faucet? What about through weather stripping in the windows? What about under doors, cracks near pipes, etc.? I am trying to seel up the apartment, and any information about this subject would help. Please no answers like, "They're going to get in. Spray!" That has been done and failed.

I took the seeds out of some fresh Jalapeno peppers I purchased at the local farmers market here in town. I brown-bagged the seeds and dried them out for the last 24 hours... How long before I can plant them? And, do I even have to dry them out, and what is the purpose of drying them out? Thankyou.

I was told that the felt paper does not breath like Tyvac and a vapor barrier on the inside would cause moister build up(and /or mold in the walls). It seems like there should always be a vapor barrier. Shouldn't there??

I really don't know what to expect. Is it like on the show "Designer's Challenge" where I could interview each one, have them submit design boards and choose the best one, or is that just in tv land? Should I try to find a designer whose favorite style is the same as mine (transitional) or should I just find someone who has talent and know that they can work with whatever design they're given even if it's not their personal favorite?

i have had my washer for almost 6 yeasrs. now it is having a hard time aggitating. like the load is too heavy. but it still does it on the smallest load setting. it is also leaking water every where. it takes it longer to fill up with water because as soon as the water starts running in it, the water starts coming out of the bottom. is the tub cracked? do i need to just buy another one, or can this one be fixed?

I want to purchase solid oak floors for my home (not the laminated stuff). I want the ones that are already finished and don't have to be sanded but can be sanded in years to come. I believe they are 3/4 of an inch thick. What is the best brand to buy? What brands should I stay away from. I know Home Depot sells them but, are they any good.

It is a cream coloured Gas coat, which is like a duvet!! It's that thick and puffy, and it's full of feathers. So how ON EARTH do I go about washing it, as I am sure it can't just be chucked in the washing machine?
