I've been reading questions and answers of other users and I want to vote for best or worst answer by selecting the
"thumbs-up" or "thumbs-down" icons. However, for some reason, I cannot vote.

Can someone help me figure this out?

I do alot of work in my garage. I'd like to be able to let my dogs in the garage with me but since I open the door to let the air flow through, they always wander out the garage and into the street. My garage is impossible to be in without opening the door because of the heat so I want to come up with some type of barricade that will close off the bottom 3 or 4 feet of the garage. Kinda like a baby-gate except that my garage door is 16 feet wide. The first thing that comes to mind is using 2 panels of plastic latice framed in some manner that they can be attached to each other then attached to the garage door frame. This presents a storage problem though since these things have to be moved all the time to let the car in and out. Does anyone have any ideas?

I live in an old house and there is no dining room. All I have is a 4' x 9' space to put a table and a couple of chairs. As our family has grown, there's no place to sit. What are some solutions for such a small space?

I need some ideas. I live in TX, wanting to plant something that will reach maybe 15 foot or so in height. Something along the lines of a crepe myrtle, although I was hoping for something that would stay green year around and flowering.

My artifical orchids or silk trees are beautiful, but collect dust. Is there an easy way to clean them?

I've just moved into a houseshare and last night in bed I became very very aware of the smell of cigarette smoke eminating from the mattress (the previous occupant smoked). I'm going to try Febreze later when I get home, but I've got a feeling that the smoke will be deep set right within the core of the mattress and will soon get through to the outer layer.

It's got a fabric outer cover, but no outer plastic layer on top of that.

Note: I cannot afford to replace the whole mattress!

I also need said mattress to sleep on, so please no suggestions that I air it outside for a few days to get rid of the smell!

Has anyone done their own install on one of these kits. We have the money to pay for a complete install but would rather save the money for a hot tub/gazebo to go with the pool. Does anyone on here know someone or have experience putting one of these in ground pools in. I have tons of people to help me so that would be no problem and the company I work for will let me use their equipment to dig it etc.
