Home & Garden - 18 May 2007

Ok...I am constantly cleaning my room because my and my husband have sex and I can always smell it. I was washing our comforter and I saw a small stain, what I believe is ***. How do I get it out and is there anything I can do about the room smelling? It isn't bad it's just sometimes I can smell sex. We are both very clean people and I hate when my friends come over and we get on the computer in the bedroom. It smells like sex...any help?

I am buying a new home and I love this Berber carpet that I want to install. It is $2.18 sq.ft. I have 840 sq.ft to cover and the store quoted me $1500 just for the carpet alone. The complete quote was at $2511.00 for the carpet, pad and Installation. Is this a good deal for Berber?

We moved into an older house that has really hard water. The lime buildup is horrible. After taking showers the tile and tub is completely white. I have tried scrubbing with Comet, pinesol, lime away, CLR, scubbing bubbles , SOS pads and nothing seems to work. I am tired of trying but I can't live with this nasty looking tub and tiles. Please any suggestions. I really need help. The bottom of the tub is really aweful.

I have a corn plant that is very beautiful but I noticed that it had some kind of dark brown worms infested in it. I want to kill the worms because if I don't eventually I know that it will kill my plant. How do I get rid of them without repotting as that will kill the plant too.

I use to wash gym shoes every now and then in my old top loading washing machine. It is now gone and I have a new front loader. My children are now asking to have their gym shoes washed and I must say I'm scared to put them in. Should I be? Or is it okay to wash shoes in my new machine?

I have several 8" pots with Gerbers facing north on the back porch. They did OK for a few days but are getting sadder and sadder. Can I save them? Do they just not do containers very well?

I'm making a vegetable garden and laying PVC pipes for a sprinkler and drip irrigation system. The soil is rather dense clay. Digging into it is difficult so I want to put the pipes at the minimum depth. This is in northern California near San Francisco, so the weather doesn't dip below freezing very often.

I would like to purchase a older home and though it has a lot of character and potential, I cannot afford a contractor. I would like to get the kitchen, baths and master bedroom remodeled. I realize I could not do this work all at once because of cost for I would remodel one at a time. Has any of you ever DIY (do it yourself), your home remodeling? Was it worth it and would you do it again?

I am trying to put in a fence on my own as I don't have much $ to pay someone to help. I am a 5' tall woman and after working 1 whole day using a shovel and only getting 2 holes dug I decided an augur (sp?) would work better maybe (1 man kind). Anyway, called a rental store and he said it was questionable if a woman my height could use one. Sooooo I am wondering if a post hole digger is too hard to use. I know it would be fairly easy enough in soil, but I will be moving into hard packed rock/sand/dirt as I go down the line. I know one can be done as when I first moved here I was able to afford someone to put up another section of fence & they used a post hole digger there...but they were also a 6' guy too lol.

I'm pretty tough for my size, but wondering if I will get nowhere fast with a post hole digger??? Is it about the same as using a shovel?

Thanks for any help!

I work at a group home and a lady sometimes doesn't make it to the bathroom. She has a fake wood floor and I proceed to clean it up with 409 or a mixture of bleach and water (with a mop). But lately her floor always seems sticky and it always has a sweet scent to it... what do I do??
