Ok well heres the thing. I'm an 11 year old girl and my room is a total mess! It looks like a hurricane hit it! My parents have been telling me to clean my room for years now but I just can't get it clean. My parents have had it with me & my room. My room is being painted right now because its getting re-done so I have all of my stuff on my bed and on the floor. I have to clean out my whole room fast! For some reason when I start cleaning it always ends up being even messier. Also I get very over whelmed because I don't know where to start! There is so much to clean! Can someone please help me? Thanks so much!

I am planning to put a shed/ workshop in my garden. I want to use it as room to work in ( typing on a laptop / notebook) during summer evenings and to use a rowing machine. What type of workshop should I get ( any brand names you would advise?) .

Can I line the shed with any material to keep it a bit warmer? If so what would you advise?

I'm looking for advice on what type of electric shower to buy. At the moment my current shower just works off the mixer tap on the bath and is fed from my water tank in my loft directly above my bathroom, the water tank is heated electrically (i only have electric heating). Is this what you call a gravity fed system? Can this type of system have a power shower fitted to it?

I preferably would like a shower that gives me really good water pressure as well as a good constant temperature - is it better to buy a higher wattage one for that?

Can anyone recommend any specific models you have used or installed that gives the results I'm looking for?

Asking for experienced answers - I live in Palm Beach Gardens in an apartment complex on the second floor.. I have a sliding glass door and numerous large windows.. just curious that if a hurricane does hit, do I need to take further precautions, or would my impact glass suffice (new to the area, will be first hurricane haha) Thanks!

There is a pine tree in my yard (3 stories) that started dropping tons of pine cones every day. I've been living there for 6 years and didn't start to happen until this year. Is this a sign it may be dying?

While away at college, the dorms that I lived in had a mattress that was very light, and seemed cheap. However, it was very comfortable.

Where might I look to find a wholesale, cheap mattress and bed set like those found in college dorms?

Thanks so much
