I feel like I am constantly dusting and cleaning up dog hair! Is there anything I can do to minimize the dust and pet hair? I have one dog, a jack russel, and she is not allowed on furniture anymore. We have hardwood floors. I'm sick of dusting and cleaning up pet hair, but keeping her outside isn't an option. Is there anything I can do?

I'm having to change my air filter every 2 or 3 weeks. My townhome is about 1200 square feet, but I don't understand why I have to change the filters so often. I have tried the air filters that are about $20 for one, and the cheaper ones that are $15 for 3. The $20 filter lasted about a week longer than the others, but for the cost it doesn't really add up. Home depot sells an air filter that costs $100, and it's suppose to be for 30 years or something. Anyway, what's the best air filter that I can buy?

Is it safe to use a small amount of bleach diluted in water to run through a cycle in my coffee maker? I'd like to thoroughly clean it but I also don't want my coffee to taste like bleach. Does anyone know what ratio to use bleach to water?

So...I've looked in all the obvious places. Around the exterior of the home, inside the home - even in closets. When I bought the house, two home inspectors couldn't find the darn thing!

Now, I've got problems with the leveling the floors and frozen pipes. It would be beneficial to have a crawl space - but a coworker told me that I might not even have one. Have you heard of a home w/o a crawl space? My home is about 100 years old. How will I go about fixing my house problems with no access to a crawl space or basement?

I just had 25 trees cut down in my yard. I noticed that several of them had large holes up the middle of the trunks. This includes several oaks and a sweetgum. The trees seemed healthy, and so do the others that are left. However in the past 5 years, Ive had 2 large Oaks Die for no appearent reason. Any idea why? What do I need to do to protect the others?

Last week I was away on vacation. The day after I arrived home it was snowing all week so i did not get a chance to see anything unusual about my home. Today it's about 61 degrees so i was walking around my house and i noticed that the window in the back of my garage was pryed from the bottom (its an attached garage), i never messed with the window so i'm worried if someone attempted to break in?

I have a 5 1/2 foot whicker shelf with 5 shelves on it. I have a small house and had it in my room to hold baskets of bathroom products. Now I got rid of all that stuff to make more room. I don't want to get rid of my whicker shelf. I want to utilize it SOMEHOW. I have 4 kids, only 3 bedrooms, all small rooms. Our garage is now the play room. I have a living room and an eating area that's a part of my kitchen. Does anybody out there have any creative suggestions?

do you think it would be a good idea to plant dwarf trees on the steep enbankments on the highways and gravel roads? in a way that would not shade the farmers fields. also 1.00 seedling not government planted 500.00 trees.think of the free forest that would clean the air and also create rain. please pass this idea on. thanks

It is a girls room she is going to paint it pink and purple...so...2 walls pink/2 purple...how can I do this and not let the colors run together? I know to use that painters tape but how long do I have to let one color dry before applying the tape to it to put the other color on? And then will that tape stop it from bleeding thru?
