I want to learn more about feng shui. I have heard that what most websites give are "western" takes on feng shui and not right. What are the basics of true feng shui and how can I apply those principles to my home?

My circumstances have changed and I no longer need my snowblower. I live in upstate, New York. It's only been used 4x. It's heavy duty and in terrific shape. Should I try to sell it now or is it too late in the winter?

This answer is best perhaps for a woman or a well-organized man: I have an exceptionally small bedroom with a decent-sized closet. I just switched from an uncomfortable full size to a comfy single bed. I have clothes on the floor and papers and books, one small shelf, one desk and some pictures on the wall. I can't seem to figure where to start. Sometimes I straighten up, but I never seem to really clean like I used to. Any suggestions on getting organized and staying that way. PLEASE HELP! Thanks!

Its from the real world Denver, in Stephen and Davis' room. If anyone has any leads, let me know. Like if you work in the store it was sold, etc...

It sounds like a humming noise when the pump is running and gets louder after a few minutes.
The radiators work fine and so does the boiler.
The pump is about 2 weeks old and is on the fatest setting.
Any ideas what is causing this noise.

I am wiring a new light fixture into existing structure where the old light fixture was. At the same time I need to splice a very low voltage set of christmas lights into the wiring. Would this be too much volts for the christmas lights? They would go on & off with the light switch. If this does not work, can I splice a different type of low voltage light fixture into the same type of setup, just not the christmas lights?

The wood has been primed with a white primer but I want to use a natural wood stain and not sure if this will work. Will I have to sand them down first?

Has anybody had any experience with Royal Empress trees purchased from:

fast-growing-trees.com ?

Well, I just received mine yesterday and when I showed it to my Co-workers they asked if somebody sent it to me as a Valentines Day Joke! haha. It's a 1 foot twig with a couple of roots on it! Is there actually hope for this stick, um, I mean, tree?

If anything, it's provided a few laughs and the Mimosa I ordered was almost the same but as promised by the grower was about 4ft!

Why does the bottom of a swimming pool smell so bad? If you're ever swimming, and take a big whiff of the pool bottom, you'll be surprised at how bad it stinks!

I'm having a terrible time trying to fit our kitchen :( .We've over come wonky flooring, poor electrics and plumbing but have now met our match with gas pipes...... The new kitchen units we are fitting are about 3 cm shorter that the existing units - therefore the gas pipe that goes up to feed our gas hob is 3cm to tall! can anyone advise if it's safe to cut this pipe (the hob is disconnected just now)? can we just chop 3cm off it to solve the problem? this pipe appears to be earthed, but the gas meter it's self is not earthed - we will get this done ASAP, but will it affect the cutting of the pipe? The meter and the gas pipe we want to chop are in different rooms. any help at all is appreciated. thanks

I have just complete painting the inside of my house and have been working out of my garage. Unfortunately I was not as careful when pouring the paint in the paint in the garage and didn't think until afterwards to cover the concrete floor.

Can anyone help with how to get dried water based paint and primer off my floor?? I've tried scrubbing with Greased Lightning but it doesn't do any good. HELP!

When the temperature is very low (-12), how do you keep your pipes from freezing and busting? do you drip cold water, hot water, or both? yesterday i dripped only cold and the hot water froze (apparently not much because after i opened cabinets and cranked up the heater a little they were running this morning). I am newly divorced and cannot afford to replace all the pipes under my house if they bust. I NEED HELP!!!!
