I'm moving out of my rental property and i've decided to clean it myself... well I vacume every second day and mop once a week or fortnight (depends on what it looks like)
after I mop the floors they look clean but if I get on my hands and knees and scrub in between the tiles then more dirt comes off... is there another way to clean this or am I doomed at scrubbing for about 6 hours?? the whole house is tile except the bedrooms and I would love to know if i could pour something on it and then mop over it?? I appreciate the help!!

I am concerned about what type of saw should be used and what type of blade? How do I prevent it from cracking or splintering?

Any ideas would be good as well as where I can buy the stuff or buy the things I need to make it. I like anything with silver and pale blue. I have 7 rectangular tables to decorate.

My toilet has been running for over a week. I replaced the flapper so that is not the issue. Any idea what else could be causing it?

I am building a wall at the top of our stairs that is connected to one wall. I framed it up with a footer and 16 center studs. It is still really wobbly at the free standing end. I know that the drywall will help a little bit, but I don't think it will help enough. Any ideas as to how I can reinforce it or if I need to tear it down and start over???
Any help would be great!!

I have recently acquired an old padlock and want to find out what it's worth. It is made of brass and is riveted together. The brand name on it is "ENDERS", and it has one key that is still wrapped in grease and wax paper. Does anyone know where I can find out what this might be worth?

I think it's called an element, whatever the redhot thing on the bottom on the inside is called?

I had never heard of Kirby until the other night when a couple of Kirby salesman came to my door asking if I wanted to have my carpets cleaned for free.

I won't go into the details about Kirby's sales techniques... which I do find unappealing... but I'm curious if anybody out there has bought a Kirby vacuum and if you think it's worth the price.

I can tell you that they were asking more than $1,800 for the newest model (the Sentria). The lowest they would go was $1180. I never knew vacuums could cost so much! And I passed on the offer -- even though the vacuum was quite impressive.

I live in Bellevue, NE and a neighbor of my friend has a dying tree on the property line that is an eyesore and potentially a harzard. It crosses over into my friend's yard and looks like it could fall on her house one day. It is very large and she doe snot think she should have to pay to get it cut back. Can she get the city to force him to deal with it deeming a hazard or a danger? What are her options?

I have two dogs and 6 children using the backyard as well so I need the lawn to be durable . I have seen many different types of seeds and such on the market. How do I find the best for my needs? How do I kill the clover?

I live in North Carolina and my ac unit was frozen from the house to the unit. Now it is almost unfrozen and can I turn it back on for the night. Most of the parts are new so I don't get it. Thanks.

I see screws under the counter and I am planning on replacing with granite. Is it a fairly easy job? Does anyone know a website that would tell me a step by step instructions....for novices? Thanks in advance.

for this the consumer unit is to far away and awkward to run from so i was going to run a spur from a socket using 2.5 twin and earth via an rcd and a fused switch unit then the 2.5 will run through plastic pipe underground to the front shed approx 14m away. then a junction box to an exterior shed light and inside the shed another fused switch unit to a single socket, light switch and light. the rear shed elecs will run from a 30 amp mcb in the consumer unit then using the same plan as above, then in addition another two exterior lights will be directly linked together using 1.5 mm twin and earth approx 6m from the 1st to the 2nd then 10m from the 2nd to the 3rd. will both of these set ups be ok..

Or do you just use a regular sized one? It seems like it would be all bunched up if I use the standard size, but I am having a hard time finding a smaller sized one?

I have a small Ivy plant in my window above my sink. It has been green and lush for months. Now its turing brown and looking a little dead in many places. Am I watering it too much? How often should I water a plant like that? Too much sun maybe?
