Just got into a condo which was built in the 70's. I doesn't matter what sink I am at, the one closest to the water heater or the one farthest away - it takes at least a minute or two for the hot water to finally arrive. And the weather is warm now, what happens in the winter time? Is there anything I can do to make this situation better???

I am redoing my kitchen and when I removed the old wallpaper there was some paint underneath. The problem being that there are many holes to fill in and fix and I am not sure if this paint contains lead, since it was built back in the seventies. I was looking to just cover the whole wall with the paint on it and then paint over that. Does anybody have any suggestions?

Does the cleaning agent Comet come out of clothes? And if it does, is there any type of special way to get it out?

My husband will be off work at 6 tonight, which is rare because he usually gets home late and we don't have much time together before we zonk out for the night. But tonight is an early night for him. I really need to clean this house so I don't have to worry about cleaning while he is here! But I can't seem to get my a$$ off Yahoo Answers! HELP!!!

There are patches of grass missing in my front yard from the previous owners having a huge pot with plants in it sitting on the grass. There is some grass growing back in that area but there are also those scary looking weeds too. What should I use to grow new grass there but kill the weeds that are trying to grow there?
Also, in my back yard there is a circular patch of grass missing around my tree. It looks like it either doesn't grow well there because when the leaves grow on the tree there is too much shade or the previous owners dogs would not allow it to grow by doing their business there. What can I use to grow grass in that shady area?

Me and my friends need to build a fake brick wal, because we're reconstructing the scene from Mallrats for one of our film classes. What would be the cheapest way to build a brick wall? (aside from finiding an actual brick wall)

I don't really care about my backyard's grass but it's really green and lush...my front yard however is the one I care more about and the grass is dying and I need to revive it before April 24....

It is possible that I can switch the grass around? Would it be faster than trying to revive it? Will it stay green once the front yard is replaced?

I am a single woman, and obviously I work during the week, my job is Mon-Fri only. When I come home I am tired, and just want to relax, which is what I usually do. That leaves me the weekend to do my chores. I usually spend part of my Saturday running errands, and Sunday morning doing laundry and cleaning my apartment. I was just wondering, with summer coming up, it would be so nice to be able to relax on the weekends, take day trips, be outside, etc. and not be tied to my place, having to clean and do laundry, etc. I was thinking maybe I should change my habits to doing just one thing every night during the week instead, like laundry one day, or cleaning the bathroom one day, vaccuuming one day, etc. How can I motivate myself to do something after I am so tired from work?

Can I spray my couch with a mild cleaning liquid and vacuum it with the hose connected to my regular vacuum? Will the moisture damage my vacuum? Thanks for any other tips you have as well:)

a little over a month ago my husband and i bought a tempurpedic. He is pretty satisfied with it, although he sleeps so well that he snores now.
He's a big guy, 6 ft and about 230 lbs. I'm a small woman, 5'2", 120 lbs.
I HATE THIS BED. It took me a week to actually sleep more than in one hour intervals during the night. And to date i cant sleep more than 5 hours after that i wake up every half hour.
I am usually a side sleeper but if i sleep on my side I wake up with REALLY bad neck pain, and knots in my back muscles. Also my organs in general just feel like crap, I feel a lot of pressure in the morning and afternoon just everywhere inside my body. If i sleep on my back, this cuts the pain and discomfort down by about 50% but it then is comparable to sleeping on the floor and the feeling you get in the morning after doing that.

Has anyone else had this issue? And if so does it get better?
