The tree is about 6 ft tall. Looked like it was growing new leaves. In one day the leaves toward the center, near the trunk turned yellow.

I am renting an apartment and the bedroom has dark wood paneling. Any creative ideas on how to brighten up the walls without paint? The landlord won't let me paint the paneling. Thanks!

Hi,

I moved back into my house which I haven't lived in for 1 1/2 YRS. Yesterday I turned on the AC as it was 107.

But I discovered that the AC was only blowing a warm air. Mind you the unit was probably turned on 5 times in the past 1 1/2 years.

At times (for around 5 minutes) it does let out ice cold air. I checked the fuse at the thermostat and it seems to be ok.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!!!!

After living in my old apartment for two years the walls were yellow from smoke. I don't want that to happen again. How can I stop it from happening? Is there anyway besides buying an air purifier?

or would it cost more due to the fact you have to heat it more?

So I know you're supposed to point the aerosol in that direction, but why? Is it the correct position, or is there something special about that dot?

I have white sheets at home and I can never get them white again. I know it’s not staining from the bleach I use because the fitted sheet is stained and the pillow cases are stained while the “loose” sheet is not. I’d like to try some home remedies before I go out and buy some more chemicals. As well, I can’t hang my sheets to dry in the sun because we don’t have a fence to hang a clothes line on and we don’t have anything for the sheets to hang off of outside.

Okay.
My pool is green.
It was crystal clear then over two days it just went green.
The pool guys came and said all the chemicals were correct.
Then we thought it wa the sand filter.
So we bought a brand new sand filter.
And guess what...The darn pool is still GREEN..



Any suggestions??
Or Anyone know what might be wrong?

I am painting my living room. The house is a only few years old and the walls have a standard, smooth texture. I am not sure which type of roller or brushes will work best with a satin latex paint.

Also, I have vaulted ceilings and need to know if there are any tools besides a ladder and a brush that could help me reach such a high area of the walls. Thanks! :)

We are having our carpet replaced with floating wood floors in our living room. I am also going to be painting that room. To save time (and labor) is it ok if I remove the baseboards, paint, and then reattach those same baseboards after the floors are installed?

I don't know anything about AC units. I have a trane unit fitted for a 1500 sqft town house. A couple of weeks ago I noticed water gathering inside the kitchen around where the duct work is installed. Now when I turn on the AC there is hardly enough air coming though to blow a feather. I changed the filters and checked the circuit breakers. Any suggestions on what it may be? cost?

This is not my first time growing cucumbers. Last year, even with poor weather and floods I had so many I was giving them away!

This year I have a truly wonderful garden. Soil is great, composted, nourished with bone meal. When I say every other plant I have in my garden is flourishing and producing fruit like mad, I mean it. Even my eggplants are flourishing and they are picky plants.

But my cuckes are awful! The plants are in great shape with big dark leaves and there are baby cukes and flowers all over the place. The plants are huge too. No bug damage. But all of the cuckes are either dying when small, or curling, or taste so bad and bitter you can't eat them.

What is wrong? I've never had a problem with the cukes. I don't understand.
