the installer wasn't sure of the name of a product that we should use. Does anyone know of what to use?

I have the plainest, beige ugly old carpet in my apartment. And I want to do something to conceal it. Would it be tacky to get a rug, like say 5x7, to cover some of it up? I'm not sure if that's weird or not.

Normally this time of year you can open windows. I have very bad allergies and even with my meds I am uncomfortable. The A/C froze up this weekend and I defrosted it, I belive it just needs a little shot of freon. Not expensive, but the Landlord will not cooperate. I have called 4 times which I have noted. It is his responsibility. Can I just deduction the amount of the bill from my rent? Should I ask for remibursement? Can I make him pay for a lost day off to wait for the service man?

It appears any moisture on this oxidized copper table top leaves a mark I can't seem to remove. Does anyone have any way to restore the original finish without damaging it further?

What kinda locks do you have on your doors? List brand name and type. Schlage? Kwikset? How many have Segal?

(For the record, I have Home Depot doorknobs and deadbolts (their Defiant Brand). I love em. Oh, yeah, to top them off for security, Medeco double cylinder commercial deadbolts, M3, front and rear, keyed alike. < big cheesy grin > :D

I've always wondered.....

2007-09-23 11:59:05 · 17 answers · asked by Anonymous in Cleaning & Laundry

We never had this problem until about a year ago. Our water filter jug gets a film of grey around the rim inside the top and has to be scrubbed daily. I regularly have to wipe the underside of the cold water taps or we get black bits in the sinks and bath.

The loo looks awful because the black comes down under the rim and seems to cling to the porcelain. I get through no end of bleach but it doesn't seem to stop it or clear it. I've put bleach & limescale blocks in the tank. I've used under rim blocks in the loo and limescale removers but these don't stop this black stuff. It seems to cling no matter what I do. Even scrubbing the bottom of the inside of the loo doesn't shift it all.

What the heck is this black stain? Should we be reporting it to Severn Trent Water Authority who supply water in this area? Could it be a health hazard?

Has anyone else experienced this and can give me some advice, please?

I have a pair of Clark's leather mules that I have worn for a long time. They unfortunately stink, and I cannot get the smell out. I have sprayed foot deoderant in the shoe and that does not help. I would love to wear these shoes to work but I don't want to gross anyone out! I don't think that I can wash them because they are leather. Is this pair a goner? Thank you for your time!

Recently replaced the hose that connects from the dryer to the vent. Now it's not drying the clothes.

They would need to be hardy to zone 6 (lower NY State). I am trying to achieve a backdrop of plants that do not shed their leaves in the winter so they can block the foundation, which happens to show 3 feet of itself. In front of these plants, I have some perenialls in mind. FYI, the planting beds are 8-10' deep and in part to full shade. I can't think of any other information, except that my house is red and I love interesting leaves and azaleas. Thank you so much for helping.

Have time on my hands, and see no reason to pay the overly high price people charge for yard work.

I have a straight lawn, no golf green type look, main grasss in front and only a little in the back. Don't want expense of riding lawn mower. Want to get one easy to work. For some strange reason when young my father did not want my brother and I to mow the yard, he didn't either?????????????????

So am starting from scratch, but this is not rocket science. A friend warned me about not getting one that you have change each wheel for lever. Basics on buying and doing appreciated, such as dumping grass, maintaining, basically what need to do.

In addition, where to buy and about how much to pay is also a question.

Any thoughts much appreicated.

We live in a 90 year old, 2 story home (plus basement). We are thinking about hiring someone to raise the home 2-3 feet so that the basement would be considered "usable square footage" (it's only 6' 6" now). Each level of the home is 700-800 square feet. We believe the foundation is in good condition, but are pretty sure there is some settling that has occurred. Any ideas on cost, time, and problems that may occur would be greatly appreciated.

We have one black walnut tree & it produces heavier every other year - - this is that other year. Our mail maam needs a hard hat to enter the yard.

Is there any non-silly alternatives then just loading up the pickup & going to the farm to dump in the pasture? I heard from one guy that deer likes them.
