Home & Garden - 23 April 2007

My yard is about 70% weeds and 30% grass. It is green and all but they are weeds none the less. I need to kill them and then plant grass seed. Is it too late to do this ? Please HELP !!!! We recently bought the house and I need to get it up to speed. I live in Arkansas and it is already getting hot here....also what would be the best type of grass ? I need it quick and in a hurry. Thank you.

We have two large dogs and they are ruining the backyard. We need help because they are tearing up the grass and leaving it bare. Is there anyone with any tips for maintaining a yard w/animals. We rent our house so we are trying to keep it as tidy as possible.

I'm from the US (Texas) and love watching BBCA. Watching a show called How clean is your house? the ladies often mention washing up liquid. Is this dishwashing detergent or detergent usually marketed for floors, tile, tubs, etc.?
Thanks

not counting the people... what makes a home seem more welcoming to you? what things do you see, smell, hear? do others consider YOUR home to be a welcoming place?

Noise within the walls that sound like the springs inside of a couch when you sit on a couch? It only happens when the the wind blows, so it must be moving something. If so, has anyone had this noise investigated to see what it is? I'm trying to get rid of the noise, but the propery manager can't seem to locate what the noise is.

I have a garage under my house that I would love to turn into a finished basement. (It's slightly smaller than a 2 car garage, with two large garage doors.) I don't have much DIY experience, but I'm a quick learner. Is this something I could handle taking on myself, with the proper resources? Would I need to get a permit?

I want something that will rid my fenceline of this annoying viney weed. It spreads quickly and I know if I didnt pull them out, they would take over the whole fence, as it did 20 years ago when my parents lived here. Should I use roundup? That really did a great job on ridding my yard of dandelions last year, with only one application to the roots of HUGE "systems" clumps of the lil effers.

see my other questions if you can help with more lawn/garden questions.

Where can I find this? Specific product names / brands would be appreciated.

I heard they break when you use a pan that might have something stuck on the bottom of it and other ways of it happening. How expensive are they to replace. I had a customer say she replaced hers 4 times...why would they be a good choice if that happens?

Regular electronic stovetop, i have foil underneath to catch any food to make it easy to clean up, but I don't know if the foil has anything to do with it. I thought it was the foil at first, and now, im scared to put the burner back in the stove. and yes I was dumb enough to go and take it out with my bare hands, but only because i thought i was going to take out the odd crackling foil and when I noticed the burner was cracklin in my hand i wigged out, set it down and left the kitchen... any idea what it is? Oh and this is after I cooked something for about 30 minutes on the burner.
