Home & Garden - 22 January 2007

I'm tired of pulling hoses to keep large mowing area plush and would like to dabble in plant propagation (perennials from seed).

I've got a huge pigeon problem in my garden. What's the best way to get rid of them. My mate suggested feeding them bread with loads of bicarb rubbed in, but that sounds like it's gonna attract the masses. Help?

I have bought a dehumidifer for my house. The bedroom windows are all soaking wet in the mornings. Do I leave it on all the time or just at night or just during the day? It has an automatic cut out and cuts off when there is no moisture, then just goes back on again when there is.
How much does it cost to run?

My 2 year old has new black shiny shoes that she colored on with pen ink (yes you can still see it on the shoes even tho they're black) Is there any way to remove this, and it's also on some clothes. Any suggestions would be great.

Our house is currently covered in carpet. We have a dog who sheds and has occasional accidents in the carpet. I'm debating whether or not to switch to hardwood floors. I would like to to the floating because of cost. Does anyone have advice? Should I stick it out with carpet? Is wood that much easier?

I am curious as to about how much it would cost to paint (house currently has lead paint) the inside of an 8-room house (two floors), completely remodel the bathroom and kitchen, sand the hardwood floors, wallpaper all rooms, and put down new linoleum on the kitchen floor and update all the electrical outlets (service has been updated from the street and in the cellar). The house has new windows and a new heating system. Hopefully, answers will be from construction people who have experience. Thanks!

Essentially this is a 1,296 SF home and the old furnace is a 65K btu furnace. I was told before replacing the furnace I need to do a load calcuation or calculate according the Manual J specifications. What is wrong exactly with using the OLD btu rating on the old furnace. Only things that have been really changed is a new door and some new 2nd floor windows.

This would of course be done by a contractor.

I just bought a house. The previous owners took the gas logs with them, but the tank and lines are still there. I bought a NEW set of Vent Free Gas Logs to replace them. How much should I expect to pay for a professional to come hook them up? (im in SC)

Also, It looks like all I would have to do is hook the logs up to the line and test for leaks. Should I try this myself? I dont want to blow up the house! Ha =)

I have been told to use vinegar to get the dog's peepee smell out of my carpet after I clean the area. Every cleaner I have tried doesn't not completely get rid of the smell, so I want to further de-odorize. I am worried that vinegar will bleach the carpet, though. I am also not a big fan of the smell of vinegar. I have a window above the area I need to de-odorize and two fans to work with, so I can probably manage to get most of the vinegar aroma out the window, but I would rather work with something not as repelling-smelling. Any suggestions? I would really appreciate it! Thank you!

It seems everybody I've spoken with is pretty rude, and I haven't gotten a clear explanation of anything.

A settlement check will be written out for me and my mortgage company. How is the money released to me?

Rather than having one contractor come out and do everything (roof, garage door, rebuild walls) for a price near the total settlement (close to $20,000) can I outsource it myself to separate companies to save myself some money (and keep it)?

I'm completely clueless and haven't had anybody who will talk to me.

Please give me a little help.
