If I use a fitted sheet that fits 6"-15" depths, the outlook is not pleasant to the eye. It looks like the sheet is sagging. What should I look for if I want to buy a sheet that covers perfectly my mattress? Are there products out there designed for this particular type of mattress?

I'm thinking of buying those 4x8 cementboard panels that are like waterproof plasterboard, then cut them to size and replace all this wood that gets damaged easily.

My family has been recently noticing that my younger sibling (sister) has been sleep walking at night. They find her in the front yard eating grass. My dog eats grass sometimes, does anyone know what the cause of this could be?

There was no insurance!

Last Thursday morning around 1 am a drunk driver crashed into our house. Our church set up a fund for us because we lost everything in the living room all our furniture and a chair, a stereo, a homemade shelf, a number of framed photos and a collection of antique glassware my great grandparents brought from Germany in the 1920s. We had no response from the fund and all our bills are backed up because my mom had to take almost a week off of work. We are out about 5,000..... I want to write to business around here for donations but im only a 15 year old girl and i have no clue where to even start...... ANY ADVICE

It was last painted when I was about 10 years old. I'm 13 now, and I've changed so much since then. I just don't really feel proper in a bright orange room anymore. Opinions?

I own some rental properties. i have these tenants that brought in bed bugs in thier used box spring. they had a bunch of these critters in the apt. unit. i had the place exterminated and then i called my attorney and he said to write a notice saying that they cannot bring used furniture unless it is cleaned. i put the notice on thier door and then got a call from my tenants. i know that they brought the bed bugs as i have never had bed bugs in any of my four units. my tenants are threatening to take me to court, but THEY brought the bed bugs!

I'm thinking my unit is too small for my home.

It's about 90 degrees outside where I live and my house isn't that cool inside even when I turn down the a/c to 64 the thermo reads that it's 73-74 degrees inside and it doesn't freeze up or kick off.

I'm not sure the square footage of the house..... 1500?, 2000?, 2500?, 3000?, 3500?...... if possible, maybe it'll give an idea on what size of unit should be used per 500 sq. ft.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!

I have chlorine, Ph plus, Ph minus, some sort of metal out, clarifier, new filters & more. Have followed the instructions given by the local pool store clerk. Have waited four days and no change. Should I empty it and start filling it all over again. (this is well water) or have water delivered for $180?

I have some tenants that brought in bed bugs with a used box spring. I know that they brought them into the unit as there are no bed bugs in the other four units. I called my lawyer and he said to write a letter saying that they cannot bring used furniture unless it was cleaned. I wrote the letter to the tenants and put it on thier door. they called me and said they were going to move out. i told them they can but they will have to pay for the rest of the leases rent. what do I do?
Sorry for being so long!

I just used a tank torch w/welding tip when I was younger. I would like to weld together some framework for a trailer, maybe a ladder rack for my pick up that sort of thing do I need to have a mig a tig an arc? can it be something I can plug into standard outlet. I know enough to hurt myself so I'll obviously need one that I can learn with but that will do bigger jobs once I have an idea what I am doing. I don't have much mulla either so I want something cheap or my wife will have me welding a skid plate for my but as she boots me down the street. Maybe I should just stick with torches and coat wire.

I have a metal corrogated roof on my cabin and everytime it rains it leakes where it is joined together. I have tried some of that tar roof repair,a sealing tape with some kind of tarry stuff on the back and they seem to work for a little while until the house settles and I get leakage again. Anyone know of any silicone or other flexible type sealer that I can try to fix this problem??? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

I saw this commercial for a grass seed that said it would grow grass even on top of concrete. It also siad it would make your grass thicker and greener. I also remember it comes in a bucket and the seeds sort of look like small green balls.
