Home & Garden - 11 February 2007

I have sliding doors all over the house. They are constantly going off track. I end up having to pick the doors up and move them over. I cannot stress enough how much I HATE them. I cannot afford to replace all the closet doors in my house, but does anyone know of a better alternative? I haven't been to Lowes lately. Do they sale some kind of sliding door kit that doesn't allow them to go off the track?

I have a nice large backyard which is in a wonderful location- except there is one neighbor, their house is right next to my fence. It is an eyesore of a building for one, and there is a second story window that overlooks my entire yard. Last spring & summer I invested a lot in landscaping my yard, put in sod, a pond, and created a nice escape. The issue that I have is the teenager that lives next door is extremely nosy, like to sit in the sit on the window and just stare, listen to conversations, etc. I got so frustrated that I put up some lattice and netting to grow vines for privacy, but they have yet to fill in. I also bought a large market umbrella but it is not tall enough to block that window. Any advice? It is so frustrating!

We are hoping to do some work in our house and we need to employ electricians, builders, plumbers etc. There's not much work to be done but it is complex enough that neither I nor my boyfriend feel able to take it on ourselves. Unfortunately we are unable to find anyone who can recommend suitable companies. Does anyone know where i can find such a directory? Or has anyone worked with any particularly good building companies? Thanks.

I recently noticed that 'somebody' has come along and written their initials on my car window. It seems to be some sort of wax crayon as you only see it when it gets wet (1st thing in the morning with the dew). I have tried window cleaner, boiling water, Mr muscle etc but it wont budge. I don't really want to try scratching it off or use any sort of strong abrasive. Any ideas?

I've removed all the wallpaper with a steamer but there is still residue left over. I've removed some of it with TSP and hot water. How thorough must I be? One wall looks great. Another wall looks very different. it's discolored in certain areas, I think it may be glue residue. I mean, if I'm at the point where I hold the steamer to the wall and I use a putty knife and scrape and scrape and I can barely scratch anything off, is that good enough? As long as the texture is smooth, is that enough? Someone suggested that I need to use oil based primer or the glue will cause the paint to chip off, is that so?

I bought these in the summer and forgot about them, I really want to plant them, is it too late? I am in Portland Oregon.
If the answer is no and it is too late, can I force them?

We are very seriously considering making this investment to help cut our heating bills. We use propane now. Please let me know of any pluses or minuses you may have experienced. Thank you

Everytime I get new clothes they fit perfect. After washing and drying the clothes a couple times, they just shrink a bit. I want to figure out how to stop this. Should I just air dry them? Is hot or cold water better? I just need help lol.
