I need to get some 100% cotton Pottery Barn slipcovers dyed and do not want to attempt it myself. Mine have faded and the sofa size has been discontinued. I have found 3 companies on the Internet--1 in Oregon, 1 in Canada, and 1 in San Francisco--that advertise that they provide the service. It looks like it will be around $400. Has anybody used such a company and what was your experience?

This room mate is banging the baby-sitter more times than a screen door in a hurricane. It is time to ask him to leave - or do I just replace the screen??

Hi, I am planning to de-weed many flower beds in yard and cover with weed cloth. What kinds of experiences have you had and do you have any suggestions for best brands and how well it works. I used it once 5 years ago for a smaller area, and found that many weeds grow right thru it.??? Also, would it be possible to just use fabric I have bought to sew on and don't want any more ? Would this cause a problem ? Any landscapers/gardeners out there with some good insight ?

On the top floor of my home, I have a window air conditioner. A few months ago when the weather turned cold, I noticed a squirrel began hanging around, but that was about it. Now he literally has collected tons of twigs, paper, tissues, and other junk which covers the entire space underneath my air conditioner on the window sill.

He has also began to leave little black droppings on TOP of the air conditioner(what nerve huh?) and around that twiggy nest thingy. Each time I pull back the curtains to make noises and run him off, he sits there looking at me, or comes up to the window as if he expects me to feed him or something which I've NEVER done.

If I slide back my window screen and physically remove and clean the area, will the squirrel attack if he sees me? What can I do to get rid of it? It's really starting to get on my nerve, and my window sill looks disgusting. Thanks

The west facing side of the house has huge icicles growing along the gutters. My neighbor's house doesn't have them. Is this a signal that I might need more insulation in the attic?

I rent a home and my dryer runs off of it's own breaker. Everytime I run my dryer the breaker blows and when this happens there is an awful strange smell coming from my breaker box. Our dryer was broke for a while and we never smelled that particular smell. But now that it's working again, the smell is back and the breaker blows. I have voiced my concerns to my landlord but with no resolve. I have 3 small children. Does anyone know if this is dangerous or what steps I should take.

My dog made her own back door on my high dollar tent. the hole is about 2 ft tall and 1 foot across on bottom at seam where it meets the plastic that sits under the tent. I'm not worried about how it's gonna look, just need the tent to do it's job by keeping water and bugs out. I was gonna use rubber cement and part of an old tent and just glue it shut. But if anyone has a better idea im all ears.
Thanks...
