We've just moved into a new place... It's small, but very nice looking... as I'm decorating etc I would like to have a pleasant smell throughout the apt.

I've bought glade plug-in's, and candles of the same scent as the plug in... Yet when you walk in the door, it's still the same stale smell...

Our place is kept clean (other than the clutter of toys from our boys)

I would like to have a pleasant smell upon walking through the door..
I have a husband and two boys, so it's always a difficult task..

Any ideas??

The scents I love the most are apple/cinnamon

I have a fan that met it's maker with my vacuum cleaner. I would like to rewire the plug, but I am trying to use two different pieces of wire. I have the main wire coming out of the fan, and another piece that I had laying around. Both cables are rated the same, but neither has any additional insulation aside from the cable itself. I was wondering if the printed side of the cable goes to the other printed side of the cable, or am I going to burn my house down? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

Ok, I got a Waltec 12 in my main bathroom, its a 3 piece tap with 2 taps, and a divertor. I have isolated a few things. Its not the shower head (i took it off did the same thing), it only does it when in shower mode, it does not vibrate with cold water only, but then when you add hot or only hot it vibrates and makes noise. I have changed the divertor, bad seals on old one(no luck), and I have replaced the stems. When I got the stems I put the hot stem on the hot valve but when my dad looked at it he said it didn't look right because the water was being turned on counterclockwise. Is that right? What else could be wrong?

I am trying to remove a Titan door lever and replace it with a new door knob. I have replaced door knobs several times in the past without any problems. For some reason, I am having a very difficult time removing the old door hardware (once again, it's a Titan lever and deadbolt). Does anyone know the "secret" for successfully removing the old door hardware?

I usually arrange about 15 medium vases and 5 large vases per week. I want the wholesale price, because I'll be a regular customer, without the huge quantity. I'm a one-lady charity service (I give the flowers away to sick & forgotten). I live in Dallas, though I'd love to order over the internet...I order my supplies that way...

I have a 320amp meter base and will be running a 200amp service in my basement and a 100amp service in a detached garage. What is the best way to wire this, should I junction the wire coming into the main box and run a smaller wire to the garage or should I run both directly from the meter base?

I'm wondering how much it would cost to hire a contractor to install a wood burning stove in my house. I would like to install it on the 2nd floor of a 2 story house. The unit would be installed against a wall with an outdoor exposure. The house is in the suburbs of New York.

Just looking for a cost estimate, not for unrelated information on building codes or zoning or any of that.

Thanks.

Can you lay down those adhesive floor tiles on top of existing tiles? If so, what kind of prep do you need to do to make sure they stick properly. I'm not sure what type of tiles are in place now, but they are similiar to the types used in schools and other institutions. Very cheap, flexible, and bland. I want to lay something down in place of them, but don't want to rip them up. Is that possible? Thanks!
