Formula 409 kills bees and wasps dead as a door nail in seconds.I read it in one of those b.s. emails thathat always seem to get spread around and then tried it one day out of curiosity. I must say it works very well.

I have checked out refacing but you have to install yourself plus paint the base or apply a matching veneer.

In the attempt towards a romantic valentines gift, I'm making my girlfriend a picture frame. The real effort end of things is that I'm in the process of making this from douglas fir- specifically the sawed off stump of a christmas tree we got together (kinda makes you want to gag, I know). Sawing and sanding has taken approximately forever since I'm attempting to avoid the use of power tools on this one. I really would like to make sure the finished product shows off the beauty of the natural grains in the wood and don't know the best way to go about finishing it. Any suggestions would be quite apreciated.

I'm going to replace all the interior doors in my house. Is it better to buy slabs and mortise/bore/hang them myself, or buy pre-hung doors?

Is this a good, safe source of heat? We had power out for 10 days, and I am trying to think ahead for the next time, if you know what I mean? Do you have a recommendation for a heat source bearing in mind that kerosene was in short supply?

A few months ago my brother and I added a covered porch to his existing home and have seemed to notice the interior walls cracking in the corners, 6 feet at the closest from where the roof attaches. The other side is even further away, Is this something serious or is it just the building settling with the extra weight/going through winter expansion?

OK I know this is wrong but I wasn't thinking, I poured hot oil from sausages down my kitchen sink, and the next morning I woke up and there was about five cm of water in my sink that wouldnt drain. This morning it has drained slightly but still fills my sink up about 2-3cm. I want to avoid calling the managing agents and was wondering if there is anything I can do first, plunger etc?

My hubby and I just moved into a new house and we need something to do with our dining room. I know it seems obvious... dine in it, but we are a very casual couple who doesnt have formal sit down dinners. For us it would be a waste of space and money to go buy a formal dining set that we would never use. We have an eat-in kitchen for meals and a family room that we watch tv in. So we're left with a big empty room in the front of the house. Any suggestions on what we can do with the space?

Also, I already turned one of the bedrooms into an office, so pls dont suggest we make it an office. Any suggestions are appreciated!

We turned it off under the sink to stop a leak, but when we turned it back on, the pressure was gone. What happened, and what should we do about it?

Ok, well long story short I dropped a glass bottle of bath oil and it landed right in my toilet. So now I have a bunch of broken glass in my toilet. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get it out without tearing my hands to shreds?! I don't have any gloves or a [working] wet-vac.

I would REALLY appreciate it!

There are carpet squares or "tiles" on the market that you can install yourself supposedly quite easily and replace a "square" if you damage the carpet over time. I was wondering if anyone has tried them and do they install fairly easily and look as good as professionally installed rolled carpet?

I want to leave flowers on the hood of my girlfriends car for when she gets off work, but it happens to be 10 degrees outside, and I was wondering how long they would be able to sit there and survive?

I like the allergen filters, but someone recently told us the blue ones put less stress on your heat/ac system and are better in the long run.
