I just bought a bedset for college. The design is perfect (I'm very picky about my bed stuff) but the thread count is only 200. The comforter and sheets are rather scratchy. Is there anything I can do to make them softer?

I have never seen tile like this, but it is very pretty. My son's friend moved into a house that was previously remodeled. A lot of brand new floor tile was left in garage. The friend gave this tile to my son to give to my husband and I since they found out we were building an addition to our house. Lucky for us! The floor tile looks like four tiles in a long row. It is one tile across. It is faux ceramic tile, sort of feels like hard plastic to the touch. The four snap to the next four and so on. It is called a "floating floor." Does this mean no glue? Do we put some sort of thin foam pad under it or what? There is only one way the tiles will snap together, we just want to do it right. None of our friends have seen this flooring before. We were given enough to do about three rooms. Anyone have any suggestions or "know how?" Sorry, I don't know the proper name for this kind of flooring. But thanks for any help!

He ran it about 10 times with only gas in it and now it won't start. I added the oil and cleaned the spark plug. The only other solutions I can think of are the oil isn't getting a chance to get in there without starting or there is a high amount of carbon build up in the exhaust. Please help?

I know that there must be 36 inches between the toilet and the wall it faces, but what if there is a door on that wall that swings into the bathroom? Must there be a certain clearance between the open door and toilet?

It seems every night I'm lifting it up so that the back will drain off onto my roof. It's a pain in the a**. Also, if I forget it will wake me up shooting out spray or tiny icechips in the middle of the night.

In early spring, I transplanted 3 wild roses from my road to my garden. Most of there leaves fell off, the plant looked un waterered, dead, but I took good care of it and it made a great recovery, all the leaves are finally back. I took 12 more wild roses and made there own flower bed for them. Most of the leaves are already crackly, and falling off. I transplanted them about 2 weeks ago. I suspect that most of the leaves will probably fall off anyway, and I think 2 of the wild roses might die, because almost all of there leaves are fallen. Some new leaves are finally starting to grow, and they are a nice green colour. I know they won't bloom this year, but next year, when, and for long will they bloom? They are about a foot to 2 feet tall, and the ones on the road have been blooming for about a month, but there arn't very many blooms because no body dead heads or trims them. Thanks:) And one last thing, I have sweet peas, and are about 5-8 inches tall. When will they bloom? Thanks.

My carpet is deep, bright red and my bedding is white with polka dots in pink, blue, and green, but reddish pink is the dominant color in the entire room. My current wall color is pale, pale pink with (gasp!) pale blue doors and closets. There's a wallpaperish border all around the top edge of the room. It's white with what I THINK are red and blue paper airplanes. I'm really not sure who thought of these color combinations, but I hate it. (Well, the bedding I like.) Any way to work around the reddish pink theme? I don't want it to be ALL pink, I was thinking of painting the walls pale orange, would that look okay? Also, I have a silver gooseneck floor lamp by my bed (there are two beds, but I only use one) and another of the same lamp, except I replaced the lampshade with a stripey paper lantern. I'm getting a green paper lantern to hang from the ceiling. Any ideas? Thanks!

Grown from seed about 5 inches tall now. I want to prune them to keep the best possible leaf production and to avoid the flowering of the plants.

My walls seem dry and so does the floor/carpet but.... we keep getting a green mould in the wardrobes and an unpleasant smell. The room just seems damp!! I Have tried the manual moister removal boxes which have collected quite a lot of water over the last two weeks. Any ideas anyone before I have to splash(no pun intended) out on an expert. Many Thanks

So I am a 16 year old girl and I am re-doing my child-ish room.
I was thinking of making my new room have a french cafe-type theme, but I need some help with this. I was thinking of painting all the furniture black and have the walls white except for an accent wall which would be hot pink and a small wall be a chalkboard wall [paint it with chalkboard paint]. In one of the corners I would like to have a wrought iron circular table and a wrought iron chair.

Ifyou have any suggestions (positive or negative) about my ideas up there ^^^, please leave an answer. Or if you have another idea of a theme for my room, leave an answer! Pictures are definately welcome! Thanks so much!

I want to color 2 walls dark green and the 2 others light green. Like a mint green. Have any of you seen this and if so, would you recommend these 2 colors together?? I'm just curious what others think. - Also, FYI, the floor will be hardwood in a medium brown (not too light not to dark).
