I'm really tired of ironing my khaki pants each time I wash them. I've tried washing and then immediately hanging them up, but it just doesn't get it.
Can someone recommend a good brand of wrinkle free Khakis that you can wash, dry and wear?
Thanks

Is this a sign of a cracked foundation? I have noticed some cracks in the walls of my apt (nothing real huge) I also see cracks coming off of the area where the windows are framed. They are in the hallway of the apt too, and I am assuming the other apts have similar cracking. I dont own the building and will be moving soon, I am just curious about it. I also noticed a lot of seams in the walls. It appears the landlord used some kind of tape to cover something up and then just painted over it. Any info will be helpful. Thanks.

I am looking for a type of rose bush that stays compact and yet is showy. The ideal would be a bush that doesn't grow over 3 ft tall. I have several now that have grown very tall and my landscape looks out of whack with some tall and some short next to them. Help please!

I live in Amarillo, TX-- the closest larger city is ABQ, NM. I want to cut an outside door where an existing window is now. The door will exit my bedroom and enter onto a flat roof where I want to build a deck. Can any of you give me a guestimate on how much it would cost to cut the door, rip out the window, frame the door, install a door (excluding the price of the door), and repairing any damaged drywall. I will paint the drywall, and hang the door.

Also, is there anything I need to know to make this job less expensive? For example, would a certain sized door, or type of door make it less expensive?

We had our house resided and they put a new front door on. Ever since, the door doesn't close right (you have to lift up on it to close it) and the front foyer is ALWAYS cold. It seems like it's letting the cold air in. Can I buy some kind of insulation to go around the door to stop the draft from coming in?

I have to wipe the windows daily. The moisture covers the entire window on all of my windows. Can anyone tell me why this happens and is there anything i can do to prevent it? I have tried placing containers of salt on the window sil to soak up the moisture but this does not help. Does anyone have any advice. The house is well ventilated and i do not dry a great deal of washing inside the house. The neighbours windows are all moisture free?

I've been looking around and I can't seem to find a cheap basic router. I have a simple project at home where I want to make a decorative border. I can find cheap drills and most other power equipment but every router I find is over $100. Where should I look? Thank you.

Something that would cover things like symmetry, lighting, balance, color, texture -- things like that. I have no talent, but a lot of interest in learning interior design. I would like to take a course through the community college, but it's not an option for me right now. Thank you.

I know the white beadboard is cheaper, but is it as effective? Does it have the same R-value per inch? Which product would be better?

If so, how can you use it.

Which is better for leak proofing. maintenace and easy installation? Shower Pan or Tiled Floor

I have seen some beautiful tile floors on the internet but I wonder about the durability of the grout to withstand twice daily showers. I plan on living in the home for many years and would hate to have water or termite problems. This is for a 2nd floor shower.

I bought a queen size bed this morning. The store I bought it in (Matress Direct) had headboards but they were all fancy, decorative models for 200 or more dollars. Isn't there somewhere I can go to get a simple headboard for 50 to 60 dollars. I live in Las Vegas.
