Home & Garden - 13 January 2007

I live in an aparment and get this disgusting mildew spots on my walls and ceiling from steam from the shower. I keep the fan running (just cleaned out the screen) and keep the door open to try to avoid this, but I have to be a monkey once every two or three months to clean the walls and ceiling. I'm only 5"2', so this is a real pain in the you now what! I explained it to my apartment manager and he came to repaint twice with a stain block and it still happening. Ugh! There's no window in the bathroom either. Any suggestions?? Mildew cleaner isn't working and I don't want a ton of fumes as I have an infant.

Our current hot water heater is 28 years old, believe it or not. We've been shopping around and trying to decide if tankless is the way to go.
Any advice? Recommendations??

Thanks all!☺

I replaced the dimmer switch that controls my ceiling fan and light today. The light part works perfectly, but the ceiling fan speed won't adjust with the switch; it stays on the fastest setting no matter where the switch is set. Before the old switch broke the speed was adjustable, and the one I replaced it with is brand new and hooked up exactly the same way. Do I have a defective switch, or did I do something wrong?

I know it is not the flue damper, that is a separate handle inside the flue.

The home is single story, was built in 1993 and is in Texas. The attic is plenty big enough with lots of headroom.

Like any flower. I just want to know because I want some ideas for my garden in the summer. My parents gave me this little space of real estate that I could do whatever I want with it and, right now, it just a little piece of dirt surrounded by cement.
Anyway, what kind of flower schemes do you think might work the best?

I am building an art studio in an old industrial building. It has great wood floors, but the dirt and grime on it is 75 years old, making the surface almost black. Is there a solution, chemical, or cleaning agent I can use to get this grime and grit off before I actually sand the floors? Or should I just go straight for the sander? Any other tips most appreciated. Thanks!
