I have installed two Lanterns for my house with the Dusk to Dawn Sensors. I just can’t figure out why the bulbs keep flashing? It’s totally dark outside, it should just be on. I have checked the Sensors they do not have any switches that I can adjust the sensitivity. Also the manual does not say anything about the sensors, but you aspect that the manufacture to cover every detail about this product in the manual. I need help, does anyone know anything about this??????????????

Can clothes that are dry-clean only be salvaged/fixed after they have been accidentally washed? One is silk and the other is wool with silk lining.

I have a wooden post fence like this I==I==I==I==I in my front yard.I dont like it much and i want to cut it up and burn it as firewood (outdoors) in my new firepit. My one friend tells me it may be treated wood and the smoke may be harmfull. How can i tell. The fence is very old and is splitting alot. its almost that old grey wooden color.. If it was treated, is it possible it has worn out enough to burn?.. Although i dont think it is, how do i tell

So far all I have is to spray mirrored doors with "frosted glass" paint and add thin pieces of wood to square off parts like a shoji screen. Anyone else have a better idea? Thanks.

I have painted the interior of my metal doors with oil based stain and it is not drying. The vinyl strip in between the doors is staying even more tacky. How can I get it to dry or remove it?

As hardy as day lilies and daffodils. I have lilies in a pot that I bought well before Halloween ( live in Alabama) did't pay much attention to them in the winter. Now they are starting to sprout again. As for Daffodils, my Mom had some in her yard & the Gardener ran them over cutting grass... still they bloom.?. What other flowers are like that???????

If you had £900 Billion and owned a continent, what would you do with your life?

The first thing I would do is make make microsoft fund linux development for the next thousand years. Secondly, I would install heaters that make the temp 45c all year round so all fit women would be in bikinis all year round. Thirdly, I would make every other continent build a statue of me that is taller than their highest building and they would have to bowe down to it three times a day. A bit egocentric but its ok.

What would you do?

I noticed recently that I have small blackish ants entering my upstairs bedroom window... They are staying near the window area. My mom seems to think they are coming in because its getting warm outside. I am looking to have an exterminator come and evaluate the situation, how much would that cost usually?

i live in a basement apt. and the ants are in full force already. I've been killing every ant i see. then i learned that if you leave a dead ant, they will come and take the body to eat. so now every time i see an ant i pick it up with my hands and drop it into liquid wax. immediately their bodies boil and pop and bubble. it's satisfying but it's not helping. they are attacking me while i sleep. today i have all these bug bites on me and i know the only bug i've been in contact with recently are ants. i didn't know they big and it leaves a bite that itches. so now i'm mad and i want to inflict as much harm and torture to their colony as possible. i don't want them to just leave and not come back, i want every ant that ever stepped foot into my house to die a horrible slow death. any suggestions?

I was planning on just getting a daybed frame will it attach to the twin frame? I just read somewhere that I must have the daybed link for this. I do not want to get the optional trundle for underneath, I only want a frame for my twin.

Basically I have a rose garden which is pretty well along and looks good etc. I have some blank spots in the garden which I need to fill in with some extra color. The flower needs to conform to the following perameters please:

*Max height of plant: no more than 1 ft
*Prefers Full Sunlight (it gets hot here)
*Preferably likes a semi-moist soil (it would match the other watering needs of it's neighbor plants)
*Ideally it would bloom from Spring to mid / late summer

All suggestions are appreciated, if possible please link to pictures.

Many thanks in advance.

I hve accidently spilt/splashed some bleach on my black pants without realizing and then washed the pants. Now I have little splash red dots on my black pants from the bleach - how do I get the pants back to being black safely? Oh yes and of course they are my favorite ones!!!
