Home & Garden - 1 October 2007

I pulled it out about 1/2 way and then it gets stuck. I think one of the legs is stuck on the linoleum, but my husband thinks that the dishwasher is connected to something in the back that is too short to pull it out. PLUS, now that we have started jiggling and tugging at it .. it started leaking from a copper tube that is underneath the dishwasher. I can feel it when I reach around and under the dishwasher. HELP!!!!!

I have seen evidence (pooh, holes in food bags) plus I have seen the little buggers. I want to get rid of them but I have both a dog and kitten, plus two small children. So I can't use mice poison, sticky paper traps, or mice traps for fear that either the kids or animals will get into it. I need to find some other ways, becides waiting for the kitten to track them down and kill them. Please help with ANY and/or ALL suggestions.

There are so many gutter protections on the market today which is the best to keep leaves and debris out of the gutters? I live in the northeast so winters we get a lot of snow and freezing temperatures I don't want anything that causes icicles.

Obviously I killed the Kalanchoe flower (possible overwatering). Anyway, I would like to re-pot the plants so I can give them more individualized care. Can you tell me what types of plants they are and if I may plant them together with another plant? Also, if you know what type of light they prefer, that would also be appreciated. Thanks!

A while back, one of our containers of rice had lots of little bugs in it, which we assumed were weevils. We got rid of that rice, and have since been checking all the rice we buy and putting it in clean, sealed containers. Since then though, our rice keeps getting contaminated. How do these bugs keep getting into our sealed containers?

the contents of a household of 5 -- including a storage space (the contents of his townhouse) ---into a 3 bedroom, 1 bath home?

Furniture first? Just pile it all up and then sort it out? How do I do this?

I think I want to set up storage in the basement first and then as things come into the house either they go to a designated destination, or they get stored in the basement.

I have talked to him ten times already this semester, my RA has talked to him, and I have even offered to have him come in my room and we could together figure out an appropraite setting so I could not hear the bass pounding through my wall. It gives me really big headaches and is so annoying. Do you think that hanging a couple of heavy quilts on the wall would help? Do you have any other suggestions? Please help, I am a really quiet girl and can't stand when people are so inconsiderate.
