Home & Garden - 11 March 2007

It's kinda like when it rains and the ground gets wet, it's like that. Would it be alright to plant in it, or is it too wet? I know weeds grow really well in that area....lol, but I got all them out and have the ground ready, but it's just very moist. any advice would really be appreciated.

Stupid thing died on me right when i filled it with clothes, soap, and water. It started making this weird noise like it was working too hard and than it just stopped. Should I take those sopping wet clothes out and try to make it work again or what? And if it is truly broken what should I do about the amount of water that is in there?

My husband built a treehouse for our kids last summer and I want to make it "homey" for them but cant spend much money to do it. What kind of stuff could I use from around the house to sorta make it cool? My kids are 8 and 11.

...Are we supposed to wash everything seperately if they each have a different instruction? One says "wash in cold water", the other says "wash in warm water"... I was them all together and nothing happens..

The walls/ceiling are light and the carpet is neutral, closer to light. I'm thinking of getting dark furniture to contrast it, I think it might look quite stylish.

What do you think? How will it make the room feel?

I have a Sentry S0100 safe that my mom gave me. She lost the combo, and I need to know if there is any way to open it without breaking it. I called a locksmith and it will cost 200 dollars to open, and then it still won't be usable. Help Please

That is kind of a hard question to word. So I'm wanting to put a privacy fence up around my backyard. We have a gravel driveway that we park on. I would like to put the fence around the whole yard but I can't figure out the easiest way to put the gate up. There is an ally that is behind our house. I would like to be able to lock the gate when I leave. I've tried to figure it out on my own and nothing simple is coming to mind. I will obviously have to open and close the gate every time i go though it. Also is there a special lock that you use on these type of fences? Hope my question makes sense.

...and my landlord told me that I "just have to put a lighted match down by the pilot light" to get it started. Is this even safe??? I'm a little nervous about doing it. Also, how is it just going to all of the sudden work? I don't get it.

We were pulling weeds out of our rocks and there were little patches of grass that were super hard to pull!! So I moved the rocks and started pulling and it's like this long root thing is under there but it's not long/deep it runs below the soil horizontally and grows these patches of grass every 3-4 inches. I don't really know how to explain it - but it's all in the flower beds and it is almost impossible to pull it by hand. Need like a pick axe to dig and rip it out of the ground!

I have plastic sinks and tubs in my mobile home. They are clean but there is a yellow tint to some of them. I've tried products like soft scrub and Clorox Clean up. But there has been no change. Has anyone found a solution to this problem other than replacing them?

I want to put decking on my well drained 14 m2 enclosed patio. 4x2 joists would cost a fortune, so do you think it would be a good idea to use pallets as a base?

I'm trying to create/make some kind of wall rack for my sunglasses in my bedroom. I always have somewhere between 5-10 pairs.

I'm thinking of using a grid similar to this but without the caddy shelves

OR
something like this:

Let me know if you prefer one over the other and why, or if you have a different suggestion I'd love to hear it.

If you know a place to get something more useful or cheaper please inform me!

Thanks!!!!!
