Home & Garden - 30 August 2007

We bought it about 2 months ago and it is fine, but it has a mind of its own. It is in a zipped-up cover which we just washed. Before we washed it, the whole topper used to slide UP the bed about 4" every night - now it slides DOWN the bed the same distance!!

Any answers?

I am looking to buy a vaccum cleaner, barrel type with HEPA filter suitable for bamboo flooring and can only spend up to A$250.- There's no carpet in the house but I have a black long haired dog who sheds a lot of hair. I have to sweep at least once a day. Any suggestions, make, type, model etc..
Thank you.

I want to know what types of brooms are recommended for sweeping up wet and dry foliage. Not only for use outdoors, but indoors as well--such as a floral work shop.

Or can you use the same wires that electricians run along unfinished spaces? Thanks.

We have a small front yard with a flower bed. We hope to put a small fountain and a small tree. I would love something that flowers. Any ideas?

Six months ago the concrete in my condo was acid cleaned, etched, and then painted with standard flat concrete paint.

I would like to find instructions for a "Do It Yourself" project -- removing the concrete paint via grinding...and then polishing the concrete floors in my condo.

I don't want to attend a class or seminar...just detailed instructions on what to rent / buy and what to do! Any pointers...?

I have 2 ferrers and we have a new gate. However the ferrets can easily get through the gate. Is there anything around the house that I could put on the gate to stop them escaping? Or do I need to go and buy some plastic?

Thanks!

Its just a simple venus flytrap that I keep in my room by the window. I feed it whenever a fly happens to enter my room (maybe once every 4 to 5 months). But how often is it recommend that I feed my plant?

The problem is, it seems like most flower seeds have to be planted at least 1/2 an inch or more in the soil. Forget that! I just want to have buckets full of seeds that I can just THROW all over my yard, so that soon after, my neighbors will see my yard vomiting a tremendous carpet of flowers. I mean I want every bald inch of my front yard covered in flowers (mixed or not, whatever).

So, would I do this in early spring, or would I do it in the fall, and --> what flower seeds could I use? I'll use bags and bags of flower seeds on my yard, as long as I can just throw them down (no digging, tilling, planting, etc). Just tell me what and when. I wish I could do it now (it's almost autumn as of 'now'), that would be great. If I can, let me know.

My husband dropped a big dollop of ranch dressing on a colored tee shirt. He wiped immediately and I used Shout Ultra Gel right after that on both sides. Now what, cold water? Warm? Oxy-clean? Soak? Another dose of Shout before that?

I know that I'd have to buy a new tub & shower along with a toilet & sink but what else do I need to think about? We are also changing the location into a small bedroom the is about 12X14 big. I'm thinking 16 inch tile on the floors & 6 inch around the tub area. Everything else would be sheet rocked.

I use Gain Apple Mango Tango - yummy! I also use the matching dryer sheets. However, when I take my clothes out of the washer, they don't smell like the detergent at all. In fact, they smell sort of wet/mildewy. I throw them in the dryer with one to two dryer sheets, and when I pull them out, the damp smell is gone, but I don't smell the dryer sheet either. If I want the clothes to smell nice, should I be using a liquid fabric softener as well? Or maybe switch detergents? I have used others before, but it has been awhile and I can't recall if I had this problem. Also, if I forget the clothes in the washer for several hours, when I pop the washer lid, they smell just awful! Friends say theirs won't smell after only a few hours. Could it be the water? I have normal water through the city, not a well. Any ideas?
