Home & Garden - 13 February 2007

I want to redo my room in an outdoors-y theme, since I love being outside and nature and stuff. I was thinking of getting this bedding but I wasn't sure- what do you guys think?

http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/ref=cm_reviews_dp_seemore/601-8767206-7428964?ie=UTF8&coliid=&frombrowse=1&alt%5Fview=custReviews&asin=B000G3ILV6#R20SIDAQIQ3P0W

And where should I look for outdoors-y wood bedroom furniture? Thanks :)

What causes material to shrink?

I washed some covers but they shrunk and are useless. i only put them in at 40, is it the temperature the spinning or a combination of both which does this?
I put the rest in a bath with soap powder I guess this is the way to go.

How do I get little hairs out of the paint on my bathroom wall?

ugh, sorry this is so disgusting. I was shaving my legs and then I used the showerhead, which sprayed the water (and my little hairs) all over the wall. I didn't think the hairs would stick to the paint on the wall, and now there are little hairs stuck in the paint. Sorry, I know I'm disgusting, my question is, is there any way to get them off? I am renting and I don't want to lose my security deposit. Additionally, I hate that I did that to the wall. This is embarrassing and I'd like to just deal with it without having to explain to my landlord what happened.

Harbor Breeze Fan only operates in High.?

Help! I installed a Harbor Breeze fan, and when I flip the switch it only operates in high. I control the fan with a remote control. the remote DOES control the lights on the fan. I have a light on the top of fan and on the bottom, and they both turn on and off using the remote. However, the HI, MED , LOW, and REV buttons do nothing, the fan just stays in high mode. I do not believe the fan has a cord to pull to control speeds. Its hard to tell though because the fan is about 20 feet in the air and requires a scaffolding to get to. I am hoping I do not have to get back up to the fan to fix this problem?

Can most evergreen trees be trimmed down as shrubs?

I want to know if evergreen trees like conifers can all mostly be treated as shrubs .
I think maybe this is what makes them different than decidous trees. I mean you cannot trim a Maple tree down to look like a shrub, but you can a hemlock.
IS this true. Any evergreen trees that cannot be trimmed down to a shrub form?

caulking outside of windows?

I am trying to decide what is the best kind of caulk to use on the outside of recently replaced vinyl windows on a 50+ year old house. The house is brick and there is not wood on the outside of the windows so I don't believe there should be any painting required.
