I just had a yard sale for the first time in my life and I couldn't believe what an awful experience it was! Even though I priced everything low ('cause I am really in a rush to sell everything), people still bargain, make unreasonable offers (such as $3 for a DVD player) and then scoff at me when I say no :) Some also went inside the house and started opennig kitchen cabinets, even though I specified that only the stuff outside is for sale. Others bring kids with them and let them throw stuff around without disciplining them. Etc etc etc
I was so tired after yesterday, that I decided I'd rather take the rest of my stuff to charity than go thru this one more day.
Can you share your garage sale experience, especially if you had some interesting or weird buyers?:)

A friend of mine lives in a house with her husband and infant son. They do not have any indoor pets and yet they have a severe flea problem- actually the whole neighborhood does. It is very hot and dry and the fleas are everywhere. They have treated the yard and bomed the house, but the problem goes away for a few days, then it comes back again. They have tried 7 dust and Addams in the yard. Is there anything more they can do? It seems that when a neighbor sprays their place, the fleas all come over, then when they spray, they leave back to an untreated house, but come right back. They just tried spraying with Pamolive all over the yard since they have noticed that they bring in the fleas from just doing simple things like getting the mail.

Does anyone have any home remedies or other suggestions? The indoor fleas are not too severe YET, but they want to control it before it does become a problem. (also house is not on a slab, have bomed under the house too)

I'm looking to build an outdoor barbeque/firepit. It's a particular style of bbq that I saw in argentina that resembles a stone oven. I need to make a slab about 3-4 inches thick that will be the surface where the fire/coals will rest on. This surface will have brick walls on three sides and a cover above. From memory I know that cement/concrete cracks, pops, expodes when you have a fire or high heat on it.
Is it possible to mix in more rocks, or more sand or something to make it heat proof? Or is a totally different product needed?

If I leave it to a dry cleaners to do all of my washing, will I be almost certain to get better resluts than a washing machine? How much will it cost for lets say 2 trousers and 5 shirts a week, and will they pick them up from my house and deliver them back for me aswell?
