I have a raised home, and the raised part is fully enclosed, should't this be partially exposed ?

I could either make storage space in there, or another room. The attic is big, and very high to the roof. What should I do with that space ?

It's over a sub layer of concrete in three bedrooms in a raised acadian style home. I want real wood, not fake stuff. Do you think I could do it, (I have no experience) or should I shell out the extra money to have it done by a pro ?

My friend's dog is staying with me and is in heat. She is leaving my lovely little blood stains everywhere. I try to clean them as soon as I see them, but there are some spots on my carpet and couch that have dried. What is the best way to get rid of them? Thanks!

We have redone the wiring and roof recently, but were wondering, after watching shows like "House Inspector", whether we should have our home inspected for potential other concerns as it is over 100 years old? We had a general inspection done 4 years ago before moving in, but wonder, if we try to sell in a year's time, would it be worth having an inspection done today to prepare for the future sale? Or, would whatever the inspector said 4 years ago still hold true in most cases? Our inspector missed the fact that our roof had leaked and was about to fall to pieces due to snow on the roof (he couldn't see the roof so skipped that part!) and also that some plumbing needed updating. It made me nervous that he may have missed other things. Comments?

I am attempting my first garden and I got some seeds and a indoor grower from Walmart. Nothing fancy. All the seed packets said to sart 6 weeks before last frost and because I live in Eastern NC with a somewhat early last frost date I started them a week ago. They are growing out of control and I'm afraid they are going to die. Some are over 4 inches tall already (sunflowers). The others are not so out of control but growing at a steady pace. The roots of some of them are already sticking out of the bottom of the peat bags. I guess my question is how do I keep them alive and healthy for 5 more weeks and can I transfer some of the larger plants into small pots?

My heating system has electronic timer. I keep it at 69 degrees during the day and keep it to 55 degrees during night. When I get up in the morning, the temperature of the house has dropped to 55 and then when its time for 69 degrees, the heating system tries very hard. It keeps running continously for more than an hour to bring up the temperature.

My question to you is, is this a good strategy to keep the house temperature very low? Is it actually saving my heating bill? Or is it actually costing me more because of heating system trying so hard during early morning from 55 to 69 degrees.

Any advice will be appriciated.

I recently moved out of state and immediately noticed that my tap water tasted awful, so I bought a Brita water filter, and while it made the water taste better it seems that deposits are clogging my humidifier despite using filtered water. I would like to know of any tips people might have. Vinegar seems to be a popular remedy, but it isn't very efficient, and I'd rather not have to buy the humidifier manufacturer's cleaner, partly because it is only sold online.

Tips are appreciated. :)

I have some old dresses - made by my mother - that I'd like to store for my future daughters if I have them. The dresses are quite old and I need to preserve them. Where can I buy some bags to store them in? Are they airtight?

Lime green has always been one of my favorite colors. I want to decorate my bedroom in this color because I received a new lime green comforter for Christmas. But I heard that you should only use muted colors in bedrooms to get a peaceful night of sleep. Would lime green be bad feng shui?

I'm remodeling/redecorating the living room. Have new carpet that's beige with taupe tones to it, taupe walls and a dark taupe sectional with a hint of green to it. I love the sofa but am baffled as to what accent colors I should use in the room -- curtains, pillows, decor, etc. What do you all think?

The factory rep for my new dishwasher said the reason the dishes aren't getting clean is because the dishwasher powder I am using is "expired". He said that to test dishwasher powder, pour a small amount in your hand and drip cold water on it. If the powder doesn't get warm in your hand, he says, then it has expired - meaning it won't work as a detergent in the machine.

He also said that dishwasher powders have an "expiration date" stamped on the box, but it is coded by the manufacturer so you can't tell how old the box is when you buy it.

I can imagine solutions to this (liquid soap, higher water temp, pre-rinsing, etc.), but I am amazed about the expiration thing. Ever heard of this?

The deck is 10' wide and 28' long. There are three sets of stairs, two short, one long. It's Trex decking. I need to be able to keep out skunks, racoons, woodchucks, and the family dog. I have about two feet between the ground and the bottom of the deck at the tallest point by the house. I have an area of about 4' wide by 3' tall to enclose too.
