My garage is in serious need of painting. The old paint is all chipping off. Will I need to remove it before I repaint? What's the best (easiest and cheapest) way to remove it?

I looked here before and used suggestions but none of them worked. It's a strong dog smell, like puppy only multiplied by 100. I used "natures mircles" three times, even drenching it and it did not work( I used the whole bottle). I also used white vinegar ( the whole bottle) spraying the inside foam as well ( as I also did with Natures miracle), and finally Febreeze. Nothing works!!! any more ideas?, this is getting expensive and I cannot afford a new sofa. thank everyone is advance.

Hi, I have a wooden table. Probably oak finish. We tried to clean it with Orange oil and it has got some rough patches on it and these patches are white in color. How do I repair that? Do I need to polish the whole surface? Or do I have to use some wax on those surfaces? I do not know anything about caring of wooden furniture.

Thanks in advance

Hi, My husband call this weed' jumping weed 'as the thousands of seeds fly out when it is touched. Any ideas what I can treat it with, other than hands on removing each bit , which only seems to spread it further.

Need a pond plant to put in a pottery fountain. Only thing is the opening is only about 18 inches, so the plant will be right next to the fountain. I need a pond plant that does well in turbulent waters. Will papyrus work? Any other suggestions?

I am going to move to a flat near the City soon and initial expenses will be great so the more cost-conscious the better.. Whenever I see great items offered I want to kick myself because I have forgo them due to logistic problems. None of my friends have their own car and I don't have family/relatives in London so pls don't suggest these.

... that you don't want sent to your home address? For example, if you want to recieve mail/packages from someone who you don't want to know your home address, or you don't want someone else in the house to know that you're recieving mail from a certain person? Can you set up a PO Box or something similar, and if so how and how much does it cost?

I am thinking of planting Wisteria near a wall so it will cover the harsh lines of the architecture. Is that going to curtail it growth as I have heard it should be ground near structures like arbor, fence, etc?
