I'm a 17 year old kid, and I have too much furniture! I can't change my furniture because I'll be going off to college fall of 2008 but I want a somewhat modern room - what can I do to "temporarily" modernize it for a low cost and make it look like a 17 year old lives here? I've got a tall dark wood dresser, 2 dark wood night stands, a long dark wood dress, big dark wood mirror and a queen size dark wood bed -- it doesn't look like a kid should be living here -- what can I do to make it "cool" at a low cost? Posters didn't help :/

How often do you wash your duvet or comforter? My husband thinks that I do it too much. I change the sheets once a week and wash the duvet every other week.

I doesn't happen when it's cold, but when it warms up and usually with the blades engaged, it starts to sputter and then turn off. If I disengage the blades while it's sputtering, sometimes it will stay on and idle fine again, until of course I reengage the blades, and then it turns off again. It usually starts right back up. I've replaced the in-line fuel filter and hoses which were worn, and cleaned out the gas tank, but no luck. I hope someone can help me with this problem.

We are using 4 stakes to square 15 by 15 ft on the ground. I don't know the name of the tape measure we are using but it is wrapped up and and controlled by a handle. Can someone tell this in detail to me? I don't want to look like a fool doing this infront of everyone...

I have installed travertine and glass tiles to an 8 sq. foot area behind my stove. We have sealed the tiles 3 rounds and are ready to grout, not sure if we should work from the bottom up or the top down. The display is beautiful and we want to keep it that way... Any help would be appreciated!

I have a detached two car garage and live in Central Ohio. It has two layers of bad shingles on it. I'll be removing all of those. Before I install the 3 tab shingles, how important is the tar paper. Do I need it? 15 lb. or 30 lb? What purpose does it serve. Any idea how big of a dumpster I need for a 2-car garage, 2-layer shingle tear off? Thanks!

My front garden is small. It is only 8 by 2.5 feet. It gets full sun.
Instead of regular flowers, I would like to try roses. But I need to get one that is continuously blooming. Is there any such rose?

I have an apple tree which is infested with wooly aphids and affecting it badly. I've tried spraying it with pesticides and pruning it heavily, however I can not get rid of them. This year they seem to have come back as badly as last year. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to deal with this pest. Ideally I would like an organic solution, but all suggestions are welcome if it will remove this pest.

I moved into this house about 2 weeks ago. I love the place it is really nice besides the kitchen floors. I am renting so I dont want to replace it. The floor looks like someone has sat in there since this house was built and smokes you know that orange look. Well there are areas where it looks like they have tried to clean them. I have pictures but i dont know how to upload on here. I tried lime away, straight bleach and nothing I did, did anything. These are linolem floors. So my question is does anyone know of a cleaner that is strong enough to take this stuff off. Maybe someone can tell me how to put pics on here so i can show what it looks like. Thank You
