Our winters are always pretty cold so it's not like I can keep the windows open. Would house plants do the trick? or is there some other way?
Thanks

I live in the south and have found out I am highly allergic to these pesty things, I have tried, skin-so-soft, and have rubbed dry fabric softener on me and my clothes and nothing works. What about lawn sprays?

When we bought our house, we were told we only had a electric hookup for the laundry closet, which is in the kitchen. However, after moving in, I have noticed that there is copper piping with an end cap in the laundry closet that looks identical to the piping that connects the gas to the water heater and furnace elsewhere in the house (but there is no shutoff valve, only an endcap). Can I connect a gas stove to this, assuming it is a gas hookup? Or is the gas supply for dryers different than a gas supply for stoves? This could affect how we choose to remodel our kitchen in the future.

I have a dryer (gas system), realized that it suddenly stop drying up my clothes. Somehow when I touch the dryer I can tell that it no longer gets hot. What could be the issue? What should I look for? and can that be repaired or is it better to get a new one?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Normally I use Tide detergent but I have noticed my clothes are fading quickly since I moved and no longer have well water. I was wondering if Cheer works the best for protecting color? I had to buy some to wash my husband's ACUs which require washing in only certain detergents. Is Cheer really better than Tide?

Every 3 min. or so my toilet tank water level goes down about 1 inch, and fills back up again, why? It never did this before. I can hear it running every couple of minutes? What to do?

I got this can of paint:

http://www.glidden.com/products/getProducts.do?brandid=1

The 4th one from top to bottom.
I have to paint 2 new doors. These are the ones that come already primed, ready to paint.

According to the instructions, i should add some water to this paint, so that means it is water based paint.

Im not sure if this paint is the right one or should i get an oil based paint for the doors?? I do not want them to stain in the first week with fingerprints.
I need it white, not flat but also not glossy... so i understand that i need "satin" right?
Thanks

When my boyfriend moved in to his down stairs flat he discovered a lot of damp at the back of his house,He seems to think it is from where the man who lived there before built the garden up the side of the house and concreted over it (the bedroom window is the nearly the same hight as the ground outside) If he removes the stupid slopping path will this help get rid of some of the damp or has this got nothing to do with it ??

I usually keep my heat at 66-68 degrees in the winter. When I leave to go to work, I lower the temp to 60. My boyfriend tells me that I waste more heat trying to get the heat back up to 66 when I get home than if I kept it at that temp all the time. I am gone for 9 hours if not more a day. Does this make sense? I somehow feel better turning it down when I leave, and think it's more efficient. What are your thoughts?

Last year I had the most beautiful tomatoes that is until they were eaten by some type of black speck looking bugs. It looked like someone sprinkled pepper all over the plant. I even dusted the plants with Sevin Dust but this didn't help at all. Any idea what these bugs are and how I can get rid of them?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)
