Home & Garden - 18 March 2007

I have been smoking some in my office. The windows are messed up and were never able to open so the smell of smoke is heavy in this room.

I need to clean it up, and get everything out.

What can i use to get rid of the smell of smoking?

assume its in the carpet, the walls, the ceiling, the furniture.

How much would it cost? What kind of stuff should I buy? What should I be cautious of? How much time out of my schedule might it take?

You know, the 'crap' drawer, where you shove everything...If something's missing, I usually say 'it's in the drawer'
But the thing is....I STILL CAN'T FIND A PEN WHEN I NEED ONE!!!

Have you ever slept on either 10#, 15# or 20# memory foam topper and if you have, could you comment on the difference between these three weights?
It seems as though the 10# would not be as "dense" and the 20# but I'm not sure.
Please don't just tell me there's 5 Pounds difference between them; I'm not completely stupid.
There must be some measurable difference in these three weights or they wouldn't make all three of them would they?
I'm usually a "back" sleeper, sometimes on either side, if this makes the answer any easier.
Thanks all.

We are refinishing the top of an oak table and cannot match the stain color. Closest stain is too light and a little on the red side. Is there any way to darken it up? Adding more coats is just making the red more intense.

I am wondering:
1 When is the time to visit the area to see the apple trees in bloom?
2 What kind of apples do they grow?
3 Do they grow a lot of heirloom apples now?
4 What are the most popular apples?
5 When is apple picking time?
6 Are there orchards where the public is welcome to pick apples themselves?
7 What other things are there to do in the area, so a day trip could include a couple of nice activities ...... like picking apples and something else to complement it?
8 Is there a boat trip on the Hudson that makes stops at various points, like the apple growing areas, etc.
9 Since there is a small bird perched on my shoulder asking this question, may I ask if there are any summer jobs available for the strong, hearty, healthy and willing? Thank you!!!


Thanks much

We have an old house with old water pipes and wiring - it wouldn't be very smart to drywall over all of that in case something breaks and we need to get to it. I am wanting to fix up our basement good enough for a play room for our kids - I can paint the walls and put carpet down, but I don't know how to hide all the "stuff" on the ceiling!!I also have a very limited budget to work with!! Help!!

A mystery tree has sprouted near my patio. It has thorns, so I thought it might be a honey locust tree, but it doesn't have compound leaves, so that can't be it. Any thoughts about trees that would grow in Arkansas, have single leaves, and thorns?
