I'd rather not call anyone to have them out, they will just haunt me. So, my home was built in the 1930's. It is 2,008 sq. ft. and has an old heating system (wish I knew what it was called), but my vents are very random (just small squares out of the walls, not floor) and some rooms don't even have heat vents. So what would I be looking at? Thanks for any help, just wanted an idea. :)

I live in a studio type space in the attic of my sister's house. I open all the windows when it gets cool outside, and have fans running continuosly, but it's still really hot most of the time. Other than buying an air conditioner, what can I do to keep the heat out? I'm having a baby in a few weeks and I really want my personal space to be comfortable for us.

I have a small tree in my front yard that was planted some time ago. I never cared about plants until this year so it hasn't been watered in more than 3-4 years. It looks dried up but it still has leaves on some branches. I water it A LOT everyday and put plenty of plant food around the trunk and it grew greener leaves but it still looks dead for the most part. It's not a tree like you would imagine it's just 2 thin trunks about 6 feet tall with branches on it so i guess it could be a tree. If you have any tips on how much to water it or cut branches off stuff like that it would be very helpful thanks.

I just bought a home and I have about 7,000
sq. ft backyard. It is full of every weed you may think of. I contacted a lanscaping company and they said to redo from scratch it would be 3000 dollars. I'm thinking about doing a DIY with my husband. Any advice

i am very allergic to insect bites, especially mosquitos. awhile back i got a catalog that was selling a safari type hat that was screened and attached to screen like material pants to protect you from the insects, now i can't find them anywhere and can't remember the catalog name, any help would be greatly appreciated :) i love to grill on my deck but it's not very safe due to all the insects flying around, i don't want to end up in the emergency room again looking like a blow fish...lol.

thanks!

We have noticed this year that our oak tree is dropping sap everywhere. We have read that this may be due to Aphids or Borers, but we were wondering if it may simply be due to the drought? Any help or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.

After taking a bath, I wipe steam off the cabinet mirror with a microfibre cloth. I discovered this means I never have to clean the mirror as a separate task. Do you have any similar discoveries or tips?

It is storming outside right now really bad and the only place I can get reception is on the roof. It has metal shingles. There is lots and lots of lightning but for lightning it doesn't look so tuff. I am in good health and am pretty fast about getting away from surprises. I really want to watch the playoffs tonight and I think it's worth the risk. Anything I should know before setting out to do this?

It's in my bedroom. Should I have it facing my bed to blow air on me or facing out the doorway so it blows the hot air out? The air conditioner (which isn't doing a great job either!) is in the living room.

They were growing great and suddenly overnight 2 of them wilted totally. It has been dry and hot and watering them each day the last few has helped a bit. I see no evidence of disease.

My daughter wets the bed everynight and it is so hard to get the urine smell out of her clothes and sheets. I have used vinegar in the wash but it doesn't seem to help. She is to old for diapers or overnights now so we just have to deal. HELP!!!

I am having the worst time picking a paint color for my den. my livingroom is attached with glass french doors (wood painted white) and we have picked BM Comet to paint that room and are going for the steel blue with chocolate brown look in that room. For my den with is mostly for the kids I wanted something bright and colorful but needs to not clash with livingroom color. My other problem is my den gets little or no direct sunlight so it is forever dark and always needs a light on so you can see. My floors is orignal maple colored hard wood. I was thinking a nice bright green, but I am worried about picking a color that will make the room darker then it already is. Does anyone have a suggestion on what colors will brighten a room without it being white or pale colors?
I have thought of an accent wall also. Thanks for any help you can give me. Autumn
