The entire south-west facing wall of my house does not have a single window in it. It gets the sun all day virtually every day of the year. I would love to get my hands on the architect!
Without too much in the way of structural alterations how can I harvest the power of the sun for heating purposes?

I heard that some plants protect others from pests if you plant them together. Where can I find more on this subject?

There is really not much on reviews on tankless water heaters including on epinions. Wanted to know your personal experience with them and if you have a well, how it worked out for you. I have an 1100 square foot home and I wanted one for the whole house. Recommendations would be great!

I live in a 50+ year old rancher that I purchased 3 years ago. After the first year I noticed the old wallpaper starting to come away from the wall under one of the double windows on the side of the house. I immediately peeled away the damaged wallpaper to explore and upon removing the sill I could see that water is dripping down between the two window units. I've checked the attic and there is no evidence of the water coming from the roof. I've also recaulked all the way around the window's exterior, making sure not to clog the weap holes. The windows are about 10 years old from what I can discern. Is this a case of poor installation? Do I need new windows or is there a cheaper solution?

I am curious about your remedies for whatever. Here is one of my favorite I will pass on to you. Dryer Sheets to get rid of soap scum. Get a few of those wet and start wiping your shower or tub down....rinse. So easy, works fast and is not harmful to eyes or skin. Can be used on glass enclosed showers as well......you wont believe how clean it gets.

Can anyone tell me where I might find a small, battery operated space heater to place either on or under a desk? Thank you.

I want to move central heating radiator to another wall, where it will not be obstucted with furniture, but I have an old parket flooring which I was going to sand and polish and everything.. I don't want to damage the flooring, so the question is- Is it possible to remove old parket flooring tile by tile & then put it back together? I will probably need to dig wholes for the pipes in the cement floor as well - I am not sure about that..

My iron has a crusty black build up on the heating part. When the setting is put on high, this build-up gets on my clothes. Is there anything or anyway I can clean the iron?
