I am a project manager for a construction company. A few condos in a project we built have excessive indoor humidity with no obvious moisture source. One unit in particular was recently completely repainted. This unit (and one next door sharing a common party wall) have relative humidity in the 75-85% range. Could painting the unit (about 1000 sq./ft.) with the doors and windows closed be the cause of the high humidity in this unit? How about in both units? Could the moisture from the painted unit leech through the party wall and cause excessive moisture in the adjacent unit? Any help would be appreciated!

My roommate let a Blue Sharpie bleed on my white couch cover. Bleach didn't work and neither did oxyclean. Any ideas?

We're trying to decide on new carpet in the kids' bedrooms. Besides color, what do we need to look for? Any brand names to look for, or stay away from?

Thanks!

My entire house was painted a very pale, neutral yellow before I moved in; close to being an offwhite color, but definitely in the yellow family. I want to paint some rooms, but that yellow is everywhere-- hallways, staircases, etc. My concern is that bold colors will really clash with the yellow when transitioning between rooms or doing accent walls. Any suggestions on what would work here without being jarring?

I moved into a rental house & am trying to get the yard/garden in order. The turf is a very fine blade variety (maybe couch) & there is paspalum embeded throughout. I have been hand pulling it out by hand an hour a day for the last month filling up the green waste bin twice, but I am still not finished. It just continues to sprout up everywhere. It grows really fast with tall shoots with black seeds and its smothering/killing the turf leaving large bald patches in the lawn. The roots are really thick and hard to pull. I have looked at Big W, Woolworth's, Bunnings, Cole's, & the local garden centre for a product that says it will kill it but I cannot find anything that specifically says it kills paspalum -- most things say they kill bindi, dandelions, etc. but again nothing lists paspalum specificly. There are products like Zero & Roundup that I have seen, but they kill the grass too. Does anyone know what I should be looking for in a product's ingredients to kill paspalum?

The stakes are approximately 6' by 2". I know stakes used in grape vineyards are toxic, but these are used for fencing.

My husband insists we turn off the heat when nobody is around in the apt. I feel, it takes longer & costs more to turn the heat back on in a slightly cold apartment. Any experiences or documented theory to back-up my idea?

My home hotwater tank is dripping water from some type of drainage hose running down the outside of the tank. I have placed a Tupperware container underneath to catch the water. Normally, the amount of water is minimal, but every now and then, my container fills to capacity and overflows onto the floor. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to when more water is collected (i.e. like when I take a shower, run the dishwasher or wash clothes ...). The tank is no more than three years old. I'm stumped ... any ideas? Is it time to call a plumber?

I would like to know how long wood logs last? If I only want to use it for an hour which wood size is best? Does a compress wood last a week? How does one take out a fire? Can one sleep with a fire place going? It has a chain screen.

I'v heard that you should put them on a board to start. How do you attach it to the board, then what happens, does the plant grow around the board or what? I tried attaching mine to a tree with bungee cords but it doesn't seem to be working very good.
