Home & Garden - 9 February 2007

I just wanna know:
Who cleans your house: you, your kids, or you pay somebody to clean it (i.e., a maid or maid service)?

My mom makes me clean *HER* house and I'm sick of it! Sure, I like a two story house but I didn't think I'd have to clean it everytime. *ONCE*....that's how many times she's taken over my job! Ladies, hear me out, she's never even washed the dishes or take the trash/recycle out on those days, *I DO IT!!*
I know taking the trash out may seem like a man's job, but my dad is busy in AZ right now with the navy and all.
What are your opinions?

I have a central Heat\AC unit outside my home. I'm a do it yourself person. The problem is the heat(electric) won't blow out with the thermostat on AUTO. With it on the Fan Auto\Heat position there is a Click,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Click and it does this every min and a half with no heat blowing out. The clicking is coming from the central unit outside.
I have figured out that with the thermostat in the Fan ON\Heat, the heat works and the air blows out just fine, but you have to turn Off to stop it.
Any idea what I can replace to fix this? Thanks,,

I have this ugly primrose growing in a pot in my house. I don't know why I still want it to live, but recently some strange crusty orange spots have appeared on its pot. I'm afraid this gay thing is going to give me some disease. I don't know if I should just chuck it in the garbage or burn it. It was a gift from some Mormon acquaintances and I was wondering if maybe they are trying to give me an illness. Does anyone know what those crusty things are? I'm ready to throw it at those people’s house.

How do you effectively clean car windows in a car that has been smoked in? I have tried Windex and the Glass cleaners from the Auto store.... still leaving streaks! Any advice would be greatly appreciated! :)

I live in Tennessee in the southeastern part of the US and I believe it is zone 5 . The temperatures for the last few weeks have been getting up to around lower 40's or mid 30's with lows in the teens. I dont think that will change for this next week either. I have noticed people buying pre-emergant at the store already and have noticed last year that some of my neighbors and lawn companies put it out around mid February. I have always thought this was way to early. I put mine out at the spring equinox (March 21) or first week of April. Which is better you think for my area? Why? What will happen if you put it out too early?

I purchased the plastic 3 stage filtration faucet mount today for $25 to use in my kitchen, and the water stream is slow as molasses. It's also very narrow. Everything seems to be hooked up fine. Is the barrow water stream normal? It will take forever to fill up a gallon bottle of water at this rate. When I turn the mount up and off, and run unfiltered water the flow is normal. Thanks

My home is heated by a very loud Payne Plus 80 gas furnace. Inspection reveals that the noise is created by the rubber device that rotates upon furnace activation.

What is this device called and how can I silence it? Tightening it? I don't see a way to tighten it. DW-40? Is that safe to use on a furnace?

Thanks for any help, large and small.
