And yes.. I have changed the bag recently and cleaned the filters. I have a a older hoover. And everytime I use it I have to open all windows and doors because of the smell. Is there anything I can do, or is it time to throw old betsy out?

I tried everything to get rid of the smell, but it seems it's getting worse each day.

Couldn't they just leave it as one slab. I mean why do they put the cracks in there, shouldn't it be just like the streets and be one constant slab.

What do I use to add texture to my walls. I am living in a very old house (temp... for about 3 years while building a new one) and the walls look horrible. The house was not made to look pretty that is for sure. You can see every seem of each piece of drywall plus its just so old there are imperfections everywhere. Some of the rooms I think I can just use a painting technique to make it look textured but a couple of the rooms I really need to add something on top of the drywall before painting. Any Ideas on what I would use?

Last night when i went for a shower, i noticed there was water spurting out the tube connecting the water from the tap to the shower head and it wasn't just a trickle, it has never happened before and i tried to tighten it up as that seems to be the problem but it wouldn't secure in place, should i get the plumber in or can i sort this myself?? We have a shower curtain so i don't have to clean up puddles of water later.

I have oil based paint on my bathroom baseboards & trim. I accidently used water based to repaint. I didn't realize that it was oil based until it started peeling off. Is there an "easy" way to fix it?

I've always tried to keep the washing machine lid open for several hours or overnight after a day of laundry to air the equipment out and prevent this type of problem. But black residue is starting to inch it's way into the wash drum through the drum's upper 6 inches of drainage holes all around the drum and I don't want this gunk in my clothes or smelling up fresh laundry. Will spraying straight or 50/50 bleach through these openings & letting it drip down inside the outside of the drum (You know what I mean) --- will that do it, or do I need to call a repair person? What should I expect the pro to charge to clean it out for me?

I am inserting a 12-inch, bottom drainage plastic pot into a 24-inch tall patio urn with no drainage hole. I want to wick water from the urn into the plastic pot, which I will fill with soilless mix, a standard geranium, three ivy geraniums, and 3 asparagus fern. The urn will sit in sun most of the day.
