WE PURCHASED A MODULAR HOME HERE IN THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA. WE ARE PUTTING THE HOUSE UP ON 10 FOOT PILINGS AND NOW THE INTERIOR FLOOR FROM ONE END OF THE HOUSE TO THE OTHER IS 3.5 INCH DROP IN 60 FEET. I CAN NOT FIND ANY INFORMATION ABOUT HOW FOR OFF LEVEL THE FLOOR IS ALLOWED. I HAVE HAD A HOME INSPECTOR CHECK IT OUT AND HE DOES'NT KNOW THE ANSWER. MY LOCAL BUILDING INSPECTOR ARE ALSO UN-ABLE TO GIVE ME ANY INFO. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT THE ALLOWABLE FLOOR VARIATION IS. I NEED PHYSICAL PROOF ON WHAT IS ACCEPTABLE. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECAITED.

I have some old dark tile in our entry way. It's not an option right now to replace it, so I'd like to make it look better if possible. When I mop it and it looks nice and shiny. Then when it dries it looks dull. Is there any way to make it shiny all the time?
Thanks

It will be about 4 bricks high. The ground it will go on is at the moment concrete. Will it be ok to build directly on top of that, and will just one thickness (or I think it;s called skin) of brick be o.k., or will I have to do 2 like the brick wall that I got the bricks from originally. If so, could I use concrete blocks first, and then just face them with the brick? Don't want to waste the bricks, because they're lovely victorian ones.

We live in a mobile home with slider windows, not windows that go up and down.

Do they make air conditioners that are meant for this style of windows? I hope so, as trailers can get beastly hot in the summer!

If so, where would I find this style in the US?

I bought a small cactus from Wal-Mart. I have a very Black thumb and don't want to kill the poor thing but it needs to be repotted! I bought regular Miracle-Gro plant soil. Will this work well? Is there anything else I can do to prevent myself from killing it? I can't spend much money and don't have many resorces.

We just removed wallpaper using Dif, so to get that off, I'd like to wash my walls, but not using TSP (Trisodium phosphate) since I have young children, and new carpeting. know you can mix a bit of dish soap with warm water, but I don't know what ratio to water to mix it. Are there other things I can use, such as Mr. Clean floor cleaner? (I told my husband I didn't think that would be okay but I'd like to check) Thanks!

I am planning on putting up wallpaper border in my son's room, but we rent the apartment we live in and I'm worried about how hard it's going to be to take it down when we move. We plan on living here for at least another 2 years or so, so I won't have to worry about it for a while, but I wonder if it going to be a royal pain in the butt taking the border down.

I was wondering if anyone out there know a better system or best heat to have to heat your home to save money. Our home runs on oil for heat. Since the gas/oil prices keeps going up and it is hard to come up with the chunk of money to put oil in the tank to keep our home warm. No, there is no Gas heat up here. Only oil/electric/propane is what we have.
Yes, we keep the heat down and its on either between 70 or 72..no higher. We live in upper state NY...that means we have lots of snow and longer winter. We are planning to get new windows/doors to replace the old ones this summer. That should help some but I want to do away with oil heat. It cost too much these days. Thanks!

I live in North Mississippi and there's alot of moisture in the air right now. Even under a carport looks wet though we haven't had much rain lately. We can't afford the climate controlled storage sheds so that's not an option. We have only had this unit for 2 weeks and hopefully wont have it but about another month or so. I hate to think about my stuff being ruined by the moisture making it damp, musty and/or moldy. If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate them.

What should I be doing with my strawberry plants at this time of year? Back in the Autumn, I made a new strawberry bed and planted them out with plenty of well rotted horse's doo-doo. Should I be putting straw around them now?

it has a kiki, it is a bamboo type dendrobium. I was reading that it could be making a kiki because it is dying. the leaves were turning yellow, but i followed the advice i found online, and cut the leaves and used cinnimon to protect the cuts. Does this sound like my orchid is dying of root rot?? please give me some feedback...
