I stored some nice clothes in my basement over the winter. But now they have quite a bit of mildew. Will dry cleaning get rid of it?

Hi All,

I have just built a patio and i have quite a bit of dry cement on my grass. There is a bit too much to pick up by hand. Can anyone recommend a method of removing the cement.

Someone has told me to use a lawnmower to do it, but to watch out for flying stones. Would this be the best solution.

Thanks in advance

Matt

for some time now, my toilet makes odd noises after it's flushed. actually, it's not the toilet, it seems to be the pipes or the plumbing or something. after the toilet is flushed, it a) takes ages to fill up, and b) i hear this knocking or juddering sound, sometimes for ages afterwards. it sounds like loose pipes or something juddering away.
any plumbers about that know about this sort of thing? two different plumbers have come to have a look and told us two different things, neither of which seemed to make any difference!
also, i never had any problems with our old toilet, just this new one that's been installed. could something have happened when it was put in?

I think someone's trying to dupe me. What should I look out for if the supplier I'm dealing with is trying to sell me sub-standard chandeliers?

Is this too large for a tow-truck (roll-back)? If I chose to use a shed sales company, would they nail me for the fees because I'm not buying a shed from them? What's the most economical way to relocate? There isn't even any highways to travel, it's all back-roads...

...an outdoor tennis court; a large outdoor in-ground swimming pool; or an indoor ten-pin bowling alley with a single lane?

This would not only include the cost of materials and labor, but ongoing maintenance as well.

I have recently acquired some that smell very musty/mildewy, though they look fine. And I have also acquired one that smells like stale cigarette smoke.
