We have a table top outdoor patio heater.
It runs with a small propane tank.
Once we light it, the lamp stays lit and gives off warmth, but the propane tank gets iced over. It's the weirdest thing.

Has anyone else experienced this? Or know why this would happen?

I bought a vintage wall hanging (cotton or linen) at an estate sale and it appears to have a water stain on it. I tried dish soap, dry cleaning spray, and oxi clean. I don't want to take it off it's frame. Anything else I should try? See flickr photo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/7758569@N04/764505936/

The fencing men have left their tools and a hired concrete mixer in our back garden.

How long should we give them to come and collect before we dispose of them?

What on earth do we do with a concrete mixer if they don't collect it?

I think i'll just use a shallow bowl of ice under a fan. Good enough for me, but if I add salt and some water to that bowl of ice, will it cool the air even more than just that plain bowl of ice?

Thanks,

I am looking for a small microwave to fit in my Casita Camping Trailer and I cannot find anything although I know that Conair used to make a Micro-Mite Microwave and Sharp used to make a Sharp Carousel Half Pint Microwave. I have called a bunch of stores where I live (Cincinnati, Ohio) and none of them seems to be carrying that brand or any compact microwave for that matter. Can anybody help me? Thanks.

My landlady probably did this important as an environmental measure, but the thing is, it's counter-productive, because one flush does nothing. It just leaves a toilet that needs to be flushed at least twice every time.

Thanks.

We have a tree in our front yard that hangs over our driveway. Every summer, the tree produces sap, dripping it on our cars and attracting lots of ants. Help!!! I love the tree, hate the sap.

I have 4 kids and a husband and the laundry at my house is horrendous. My biggest problem is with the socks. I have 2 baskets full of unmatched socks. I could sit down and match them up but it would take forever and in a week they'd be full again. We've tried to do the different toe color etc, but nothing works. How do you keep your socks in order? How do I keep my laundry in order? Any helpful ideas that you use would be great! Thanks!
