Is there a product that is sold that gets rid of the smell completely? Or maybe another way to remove the smell completely. I plan on doing some fishing on my camping trip and don't think the wife will enjoy me trying to get close to her smelling like a trout.

If the cost is over $5000 do we have to get tradesmen in to do it, or can we do it ourselves. Is there council laws on this?

We bought a weeping willow and the only place to plant it is by a red pine. Will the willow be able to live in such acidic soil?

I have this big bucket outside, my husband says it is for horses to drink water. Anyway the people who lived here before us left it here and they used it to burn things in. Who do you call to get the county to come pick it up, or who does it for free? and how do I find out who does?

i have lived in the same 2nd floor apartment in a three story building for the last 10 years and 8 months. i never had a mouse problem before. now suddenly they are all over my apartment and my neighbors say they have them too. there has been no construction or demolition within a 3 block radius and the only change in the area has been that the people below my apartment moved out last week and new tenants moved in above my apartment last month. the weather has been warm and fairly stable for monthes, no new animals in the area to drive the mice inside. i don't know why they are suddenly here but after finding one in my clothes draw i want them DEAD and or gone. what is the best way to get rid of my uninvited furry guests?
i have no pets or children, i don't keep cerial or other such dry storage food item (except bread) and plants are out because i'm allergic.
how do i kill these little sob's, i think they are making me sick, i have had a raspy cough and runny nose since they invaded.

I need to move a very heavy queen mattress and boxspring (across town--will have truck) in a couple weeks. I've seen matress carrying-slings sold for a lot of money, but I'd like to know how to fashion my own--and what materials to use. Please, any help for how to create "handles" and make my mattress-moving an easier ordeal would be appreciated. thanks!

ok so i went to the washington dc zoo and there was these plants. they look like crabgrass except its about a foot tall and thicker. i picked a piece and i rubbed it against my arm. it didnt hurt at first. then i realized that the grass had these tiny hooks/prickers on one side of it, and they made my arms get all cut and scratched up so now my arms look like i was attacked by a cat. do you know what this type of plant is called?????

Our central AC stopped cooling; air was forced into the house, but not cold air. A humming, vibrating noise came intermittently from the unit--like it was trying to work but just couldn't.

I called a local HVAC company. The person came and checked the refrigerant levels and the filter, which were fine. He said the capacitor was bad and replaced it.

Tonight I put the AC on for about an hour. Although the air felt cool (not cold), the temperature change was only one degree after more than one hour (from 81 degrees to 80 degrees). At that point, I turned it off because it had gotten cooler outside than it was inside.

Any idea what might be going on? I'll probably need to call the company over again on Monday.

Thanks for any clues.

One of them is for the paint product the other for the air pressure. How many turns for the air and how many turns for the paint? This is a cheap gun. Any info would be apreciated. My first time painting.

I live in a townhouse that has NO insulation, right on the other side of the ceiling is outside. So needless to say, the place gets HOT during the day. I am renting, so I am wondering if anyone has any quick tips on how I can cool the place down. I already have an a/c (which doesn't help very much)... what else can I do that would be cheap and wouldn't mess up my landlords place?

so my house is otherwise spotless. there are no odours or stains. i'm healthy. my hygiene routine rivals that of patrick bateman from american psycho but i haven't vacuumed in two years. i've used a small hand held vacuum but a couple of weeks ago, that broke. and since, i haven't used any device at all.
what's the big deal about vacuuming?

I opened the duct work to my evaporator coils and seen them frozen. This is causing the A/C to run all day with little air flow seen at the vents. Do you know of cleaning solutions that can be bought from a store (eg Homedepot). Also, do you clean the unit in place? Do you scrape it, etc.
