Home & Garden - 14 June 2007

I just moved into a new apartment that is directly over top of a bar that plays loud music until 2 AM. Mostly it's the throbbing bass that keeps me from falling asleep; is there a good way to get of some of that noise?

Yesterday I noticed my fridge light was out. My first thought is the power went our because there were thunderstorms in the area but I realized that wasn't that case because all if the light in the cieling of the kitchen were still on. Next I noticed the microwave was out. The microwave is plugged into the socket a few feet above where the fridge is plugged in. Next I unplugged the fridge and plugged it into a different socket and sure enough it worked. My first attempt at solving the problem was the circuit breaker, but nothing was wrong there. Then I started thinking maybe a mouse chewed through the wire. We just sealed a few holes in the house because of mice so they could be stuck in the walls. I'm not really sure why but the latter is what I think the problem is. Does anyone have any idea on how to pinpoint it? And let's say it is a mouse-chewed wire, how can I fix that? I like doing things myself if it is easy enough but I have no problem calling the pros if needed.

I went to shop at Lowe's home and garden center to get some idea on how I may want to landscape around the house. There was a nice kind lady who were very helpful and spent like an hr walked around with me to show me things she recommended, and idea of landscaping with drawing. She told me to bring a photo of my home next time, etc. She suggested I should get my credit card application from the store so I can get 10% off, only late to find the application was denied. The next time I saw her, she was not friendly, bu really short with me. What is wrong with her ????

My coloured washing has begun to smell before I even take it out of the machine. I take it out as soon as soon as the cycle finishes and I've tried rinsing it again with just conditioner but it doesn't help and my washing dries with a damp smell. I've been using Febreeze, but this is getting quite expensive with every wash. How do I get this damp smell out of the clothes?

I've just had my new feather duvet delivered and on unpacking it was taken aback by the vile smell of it, like a really strong chemically/plastic smell. Is this normal or is there something wrong with it?
