Ok so I guess Halloween is coming soon, so I was thinking about being a stove/oven and like i would get a card board box. Then I would cut a compartment to make the oven door. Then I would add velcro to keep the door shut. On top I would but the burners that are made inside the stovetop. I would just use acrilyic paint for that. After that I would find a tiny pot or pan and glue it on top. Maybe I will also add a handle to open the door for the oven and put a dishtowel on it! Plz tell me what u think! Thanks!

They don't tell you on the liquid gel how many loads it runs (filling only the single cup). I like the hard powder blocks that are split into even loads (they'll tell you 20 in a box). How can I compare how many loads are in the gel detergent package?

I have carpet at home, and need a vacuum cleaner preferably with good suction, and bagless.
A Dyson is good but $600 is just too much for a vacuum cleaner...

Can anyone recommend a good vacuum cleaner preferably below $100?? Comments on its suction, filters, duability, etc would be helpful!

Thank you!!

Ok I just moved into this house and I really want to find out its history because some of my neighbors are telling me its over 100 years old and it used to be a place where people bought train tickets (I live right next to the train tracks). And I have been eperiencing some really strange things, for starters I'll wake up in the middle of the night and hear drumming on my 5 year-old sons drum in his room. Then I would go in there it would stop and he would be sound asleep. Then the second thing I experienced was I was eating dinner in the living room with my husband, while my kids were in the kitchen eating and my sons bedroom door knob started jiggling and it opened a little then closed. So I am really curious I believe it to be a spirit of a young child but I am not sure and would like to find out. Can someone tell me how to find the crime history and deaths and other stuff about my house.

I live with my boyfriend and now his brother just moved in. Any tips on how to keep the apartment smelling nice and looking clean without having to scrub all day long? We all know those boys aren't going to be doing any of the cleaning and candles just won't cut it.

I can sprout the seeds just fine, but I can't get the conditions right for the little plant to grow into a big one. Its looking a little yellowish when it should be green. I've been trying to make sure that it gets just enough, but not too much water. Any suggestions?

I think I did everything right. I planted them about 4" deep and added bulb food in the hole, then watered them thoroughly.
My question is...do I have to continut watering them every day like I do my other perrenials and annuals? It's been so dry here in Mass. And what do I do about the squirrels in my yard to prevent them from digging them up? I put cayenne pepper on top of the soil. Will that do?

i recently discovered a long term leak under my bath and found the floor and wall to be soaked. It has been like it for months and became apparent because of a damp smell in the house on the ground floor. I have fixed the leak and have a domestic dehumidifier as bought from B&Q for @£70 running. It has been going for about four days and is pulling about 6 litres a day out of the building. How much would it be pulling out if the house were dry, surely not this much? But is there that much water still in the wall and the concrete floor after four days of 24 hour use?
