I'm moving into an apt with white walls and we're not allowed to paint or use wall paper. I cant live with white walls, boring! Besides posters - how can I apply color to the wall but still be able to take it off when it comes time to move?

I have some powdered miracle grow that you mix with water. I have had it for many years, can this stuff go bad or can I still use it?

Our house has a very long living room/dining room combo with white ceramic tile. The walls are a light brown color with a white vault ceiling and dark wood center beam in the middle. There is a stone fire place in the living room. Does anyone have some decorating tips? We like dark wood and antique looking furniture. We also have pets so we can't have anything expensive.

I just found to big ones in the middle of my little deck with virtually no trail behind them. I keep a small deck garden, but I never thought I'd see this!

I use a humidifier constantly during the winter months, and the tap water we have around here is awful, scaling up the filter. I had the bright idea of saving the water that was created by our dehumidifer this summer in the humidifier over the winter; free and clean. However, I'm worried about things growing in it during the 3 months or so before I start to use it. Would it be safe to put a little bleach in it, or would the small amount I use (2 tsps per gallon) be harmful to breathe?

I have a smaller area (4' x 10') filled with ground ivy and other weed. Obviously, there's just tiny amount of grass there, if any. I plan to kill it now with a weed killer and spread the grass seed over it in September -Zone 4 (raking the area, using new sod). My question is : I want to avoid renting the machine to remove the area. Can I just put a thin layer of soil over dead weed area and seed it with grass. Would that work?

We live in an apt.

******If I call to get it checked out will* it* show* something if it only does it somwetimes.

I know how dangerous it sounds but trust me it I am THAT afraid of this guy and his crew.

The back door even gets stuck to the point where we can not open it and when we called he just opened it up now it is happening again.

the knob is turning but its not catching internally or something cuz the door isn't opening. taking the door off its hinges really isn't an option. i've got the cuff of the knob removed but not much of the internal fixings are visible. i've tried jiggling between the door and frame. i've even given it a few whacks with the hammer. i've tried the obvious stuff. i'd hate to bring the door down. is there a magic hairpin trick? there is no keyhole or locking mechanism on the door. both sides of the knob are smooth with no holes of any kind.
i can go around the house to get to the other side of the door. however, its getting dark quickly and i'm single. (eek!)

We love the "smell" of coffee beans so we put some out in a glass bowl on our kitchen counter. Why are bugs, out in large force this time of year, not attracted to them?

The water pressure is just not really there. My child may poo and it will take two flushes to get it down and sometimes it may not stay down. How can I fix this problem ?

They are usually packaged in lots of 8 or 10 and are mounted on a wire for easy use in an arrangement or even a corsage.

I've asked this question before but that was before I knew more stuff. I thought he forgot to put soap in but I have washed his exercise clothes too. They smell after I wash them too.

He keeps his gym clothes and wet towel and wet swim suit in the same bag and doesn't wash them until the evening. He leaves them in there and I know that is most of the problem. I washed them in tide and they smelled okay when I took them out but he said when he was exercising the smell comes back fast. Is there something besides washing it twice that would help? I don't think he will remember to take them out of the bag right away. He can't even remember to take the bag out of his car.

I have a volunteer squash in my front yard. It vines out unlike a regular squash plant but, leave no doubt, it is a squash. The young squash look like baby watermelons. I have absolutely no idea how it got there but will be glad to accept this volunteer for whatever it is worth. Any help?

When flushing the toilet, the flapper ball does not close into the valve because air and water are coming back through the valve. What could be causing this problem? I have already replaced the flapper ball. Please help!
