Has anyone else found it is not as good at getting out stains as it is hyped up to be? I've been disappointed every time I've used it. Which brand do you prefer?

we are looking for a bungalow and some we have seen have metal poles supporting the lintel over the windows inside the rooms. under the windows outside there are different bricks to rest of the house. is there a structural fault with these houses. should we buy one or does it need a full survey which is expensive. this is standard on all these particular houses.

I have told her about several other problems with the apartment and nothing gets done unless my husband does it him self. We only ever used our dishwasher once and then we told her about the water. Its about an inch deep. I live in CA.

They say they can drill into it,(they have without our permission and hung a gate off our house wall), paint it or whatever I'm sure they're NOT correct.(they won't allow us access to make repairs or clean the windows on their side) Would the drilling be classified as criminal damage and what action should I take.

I bought matching secondhand wedding rings on ebay, but the one is not as shiny as the other. They are white and yellow gold.

It is clean, but not shiny. How do you buff it up to shine again.

I tried brasso. Who has a secret remedy that they will share please?

I have a dog and cat in my house and yesterday found several small brown dead worms on our carpet. I even found a live one this morning (which was happily swimming in our loo when i tried to get rid of him). All the animal worm pics i have seen don't match these worms - they are small and thin and brown not white at all and not very long. The other odd thing is that they are usually found near a large pot plant in my living room. They are not garden worms but i don't know if they are coming from my pets or my plant? The soil in the pot has loads of little gnats living in it - could it be to do with that? I really need some advice as i have a 2yr old daughter and am heavily preg - don't want us to get worms! (I'm getting animals wormed today just in case).

I do electrical warranty work for a builder in AZ. I got a call to a home that is having lots of static on their AM radios when any electrical appliance is turned on. It doesn't matter if the radio is plugged in or running off batteries (not connected to the AC). I tried several different radios as well, with the same results.

I understand that ANY electrical device emits certain levels of EMI that may cause static, but even when a small appliance is used on the other side of the house (3500 sq. ft.) - the static is so bad you can't hear anything else over the radio.

I took their radios to the house next door (exact same house, same appliances, same everything) and there is no static at all. Even with the same portable appliances that are giving trouble in the first home.

What would the difference be?

I checked all grounding in the panel (though that's usually more associated with a "hum" not static) and everything looked good.

I would appreciate any thoughts.

I need to know plants/flowers that symbolize great friendship, loyalty, trust, devotion, support, love, that sort of thing. I'm creating paintings for my best girlfriends, and I want the silhouette of a special plant to be the subject. Please don't guess, if you don't know, though. Thanks for your help.

Men’s suits become shiny over time. A friend told me that the reason is that they are not sent to the cleaners often enough. However, I understand that if you send them to the cleaners to often they get damaged.

the dimensions are 36.5' x 2' x 2' I figured out how much the wood I'm using will cost roughly, I just can't seem to find a price for some kind of mesh wiring, I'm thinking something with 1cm x 1cm sized squares or something like that. Can I buy that at home depot? The wood I'm using is 2"x3" and I'll need about 5. Oh and for the mesh wire i need something that strong/thick enough that i can make a door with it.

I checked in the attic for a stopped up drip pan but there isn't one. I see 2 pipes coming out. One is the overflow going to the outside of the house and the other goes down to the guest bathroom sink. I took it apart under the sink and it doesn't seem to be clogged. Is something else wrong?

I bought the house a month ago. When I moved in, there was no smell in the house. About a week a go, the house started having a smell and getting stronger day by day. We just knew that the smell comes from the study room. Because when we close the room, the rest of the house doesn't have that smell. About 2 days ago, I saw some small brown eggs on the carpet, and today I saw about 15 eggs. The eggs seem to come from under the carpet. I checked outside the window of the room, there is nothing. Does anyone know what is happenning with my house? What kind of bug is it? Or is there any dead animal under the carpet? Thanks

Okay, so I would like to make use of space in my small kitchen based on what I've seen in boats and RVs. I'm thinking something similar to a fold-out wall-mounted ironing board, but large enough to use as a spare counter space or breakfast bar. Ideally it should be white with chrome edging. What kind of hinges would I need? Will I need a leg? Where can I find plans for this type of project? How do I make sure it won't pull off the wall when loaded with plates and elbows after breakfast?
