they leave a small vessel in the home and come back later to collect it. Not a mold test. What else could it be for....only ground floor condos are being tested. Any ideas...thanks!

I moved in with my boyfriend and his brothers girlfriend had painted the walls in the kitchen a very bright ugly yellow. The attached dining room is a pumkin color. The cabinets and the woodwork are very dark and we can't paint over them. We can paint the wall, however. I need advice on what color I should paint the walls to make the kitchen lighter and less stressfull. The floors are white tile looking laminent with some blue-grey marbling through them. And the counter tops are buthcher block. I know it's not much to work with, butI don't need a complete kitchen make over just paint ideas so i don't mind being in the kitchen cooking dinner. Right now I tense up every time I have to walk through the space!!

My rose bushes had black spot fever on the leaves.... I am spraying them every week, but all the leaves have died and fell off. The bushes are still blooming roses though. All that is left of the plant is thorny stems...should I just cut down to the ground? Or is this the wrong time of year to do this?

I looked in my paperwork and didn't see it mentioned?
How do I know if it uses the newer R22 or whatever it is or the older refrigerant?

the contract is $6100 and I had to buy the wooden rings and rods myself, the timeline is 6 wks. After 6 wks, they came to install but they couldn' t get it done because most of the blind they got were wrong measurement; they also cut the rods too short that I ended up replace some of the rods. Also, she sent email she said she will come and I took days off from work and she didn't show up. 4 months later, she sent another lady come over, this lady told me, b/c the other lady is new in business therefore she had all the measurement wrong, she will fix them for me, and at that time, I wanted to add the sheer, therefore she said she will charge me $2500 for everything, and I can deduct from the original contract with the other lady for replacing the wooden rods beaucase she cut it short. In April,07 the job almost completed, I deduct $600 from the $6100 for the wooden rods and the extra rings I paid. Now, the original lady send that $600 to collection, what will happen to me?

From the sewage under, coming out on the drainage outlets, so annoying. Insecticides kills those out but down the drainage are usually unaffected. Closing the drainage outlets help a bit. Is there any solution? Thanks!

It's my mom's birthday today and she's at work and I want to help clean the house and my sister said she would help the day before. But today it's my mom's birthday and my sister isn't doing anything! All she did was do one basket of laundry and just left it there without organizing. I practically did almost eveything and the remaining i doubt my sister will do. She is so lazy and she's older than me too she's like seventeen years old -___- her eyes are hooked on the television she's such a couch potatoe.. what should I tell her? she won't listen to me when I ask her to help clean..

Here is a picture of the roses. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosa_arkansana They are wild to my area, and come up all the time around the road and so a couple of weeks ago, i picked 3 of them (with all there roots) and planted them in some soil with manure in them. There are OK, some of the leaves have fallen off and i don't think they'll bloom this year. I planted 4 more today, and it was really hot out and there kinda wilted. They are in partial shade, and i watered them about 3 times. WIll they be ok? Now for my morning glories, some of seeds from last year survived and came up in my flowerbed all messy and stuff, they were already big already too, some were about 4 inches tall and starting to vine. I dug up some grass near my fence, and put them in and put soil and mulch around them. But they are wilted too now. I watered them lots. I have did this before, and they looked like that but they always survived, but i'm not sure this time. Any advice? Tips? Thanks in advance!

In my bathroom I have a tub with a lever that allows to change the water flow from bath-flow to shower-flow. When I take shower, I first turn on the bath-flow, then switch the lever to shower-flow. Once I'm done taking a shower, I always turn the lever back into bath-flow, which causes the faucet to release quite a bit of water through the bath-flow. Is it necessary to do this? Thanks.

I've tried a small "in-line" filter at the pump with no real results. Can hardly stand to brush my teeth, etc. its so bad. Don't know if a whole house "filter" or a water softener would be better. My neighbors, also on wells have the same issues!

We just had our driveway sealed. How long do we need to wait before driving on the concrete? Is 24 hours enough time or should we give it more? Any input would be appreciated.
