She owns a roughly 40-y/o mobile home on a 13-acre lot that has been falling apart for years. Many appliances and fixtures don't work, and it's cluttered from deceased family members' possessions. I have respected her wishes to let her process all the stuff alone, but now she's having health issues; besides, I'm weary of seeing her being dragged down by the condition of the place, whether or not she'll admit to it! I will have to address it sooner or later anyway, as her next of kin. Neither of us has the money to stick a new house on the lot, what with all the attendant expenses of doing so. Does anyone have an idea how I can step in and make her surroundings an actual home, without riding roughshod over her and with no financial backup? Thanks...

I haven't seen any live bugs but while cleaning underneath my bed (I have a box frame bed with drawers under it) I found a previously white shirt covered in brown red splotches. They look about the same color as pictures I saw of bedbug skins in the seam of a bed. I have only been home for a month (after being away for four) and before that (about six months ago) my room flooded. Since then it has been fairly moist in the room and the clothes found in the drawers in my bed were all damp. Is it possible I have a bed bug infestation or simply that the wood of the drawers dyed the shirt that color. Keep in mind the shirt was on top of a pile of clothing and I have suffered from a SMALL amount of itch bumps on my body although I have suffered similiar bumps before not accounted by from bed bugs.

I just moved into my townhouse and my downstairs bathroom drives me crazy. There is one light switch and it controls both the lights AND the fan. I want to install a new switch that has two toggles. One to control the fan, and one to control the lights. Does anyone know how to go about this? I have purchased the light switch that I will install, I just don't know what to do with the wires. HELP!!!

It is minus 30 here today and as I was preparing for work this morning I noticed that behind my dresser there was a frozen puddle on the floor next to the wall. The other side of the wall is outside and during the summer actually had water dripping down it via the overhead soffit and corner of house directly at that wall, until I went up on the roof and put black stuff down and the leak was no longer visible. Does this mean that it is still leaking, or the wall actually has or had water between it, and it leaked down and froze? Or could it be old water that froze in there? The whole wall in that area is stone cold..I am a single female ( and poor) small homeowner, who is very worried..I cannot afford amy major repairs...anyone have a solution or any diagnostics?Do I have to tear down the wall, or roof? Full of snow.. HELP-Please and Thanks..

It seems easy enough to pull the old one out and drop the new one in, but i'm not sure about the wiring. I have replaced a few light switches, nothing more complicated than that.

Someone told me club soda might work, but with no luck. I am stumped to find something. I dislike putting the plastic liners in the bottom of the sink, so this is the result.

I am in the process of getting my basement finish. I would like to know what color should i paint the walls and what type of carpet would go well. I was thinking of like a slate blue for the walls and gray/blue berber carpet. tell me what you think. Or should i just go with the safe white walls beige carpet? The basement is small and I may need to rent it out in the future. thanks a million

I brought my clothes over to my sisters house to do laundry while i babysit her kids... I started the washer, put my clothes in, and realized they were about out of laundry detergent. I used what they had and put water in the bottle to get the rest out. But its still not quite enough. I dont want to take my wet clothes home and do laundry there...I want to do it here while I can.

Any suggestions as to what I can use in place of detergent?
