Our current kitchen tile grout is coming out little by little (it wasn't sealed). It's down to about half thickness. Can I just prep it and add new grout or do I need to remove all the existing grout? And if I don't need to remov it, how should I prep it? Should it be a bit moist to adhere better to the new grout?

We have melting snow dripping into our attic from the vent fans. The water is starting to puddle around the electrical wiring and wood chip insulation. Should I be concerned that a fire may start or that mold can grow and spread if my landlord does nothing.

My two year old daughter colored with brown crayon all over a canvas box/toy container that we use for toy storage. Is there any hope of getting it off and how?

The scratches are narrow and are not deep, but they are still vivible.

We have an older farmhouse, basement is faced off with cement. Snakes still get in the basement and occasionally into the first floor. Very annoying, especially for my wife.
We are surrounded by farmland and orchard, and have used SnakeStopper in the past with a fair degree of success, but our goal is to eliminate them especially from the house. Any help would be appreciated.

My sister just moved into a new house, and the door does not have a peephole. I feel that this is very unsafe for her and her children. There is no windows near the door to look out of either. I would like to install one for her but I do not know if you can install one into a metal door the same way you would a wooden door. If anyone has any advice for me I would greatly appriciate it.

I am decorating an area in my house with University of Georgia stuff. I have a mirror to go behind the bar, clock, etc. I am looking for ceramic tile that would have the University of Georgia emblem or some similar thing to use for the back splash at the bar. Does anyone know where I can find this?

I bought a house about a year and a half ago and it came with electrical smoke detectors (with NO battery backup), they only chirp when it gets below used to be 63 degrees, now they are chirping at anything under 68 and occasionally at 68 degrees, what does this mean, and how do I stop it from chirping???

I am in the process of buying a home. I have already realized one of my biggest problems will be combating ants in my new home. They are called pavement ants. I do not have the money to invest in professional pest control, therefore what is some DIY solutions to getting rid of ants for as long as possible?

I know that I can buy those little ant traps, but there has to be something out there that is more useful.

Second round of snow storm coming here in Minnesota, just wondering if there was anything I could put on our driveway before the storm comes to make shoveling easier in the morning...

Does salt work if you put it down BEFORE the storm? other handy ideas?

I am a very tall guy, and I recently bought some Tall t shirts and after shrinking they are not the length I want them. If I wash them, then air dry, will they regain the length from purchase?

I have a down featherbed and my youngest daughter had an overnight accident on it. I just paid $48 to have it dry cleaned less than one week ago, so I hate like heck to pay it again so soon. I found the manufacturer's tag on it, but there are no cleaning instructions at all. If I do wash it, I plan on taking it to the laundry mat and using the super large washer/dryer, but I just need to know if it can be washed first. Thanks!
