Home & Garden - 8 October 2007

A wholesale mattress company will be able to make me a full-size plush innerspring mattress for $325 (I don't know yet if the price includes a box spring). The wire guage is 13. They make mattresses for the industry, but will sell to the public.

Do you think that a $325 mattress must not be a quality mattress because of the low price? I've seen full-size plush mattresses in stores selling anywhere from $600 to over $2,000.

I will take a ride to check out their mattresses, but meanwhile, I'd love some input about buying a mattress wholesale for $325 and what quality I can expect in the mattress.

I have some hot glue on some film. Like camera film. How do I get it off?
I think a hair dryer will make it shrivel up, and acetone will discolor the film.

I have been looking at http://www.heirloomroses.com and thinking of ordering. When you get the plants in the mail- is it basically roots and dirt in a bag with a stick coming out?

My friend accidentally spilled some tequila and lime on my shoes and they are still wet 2 days later and you can easily tell what the smell is, if you attempt to smell it, which worries me.

I am trying to buy a house right now. The place we're contemplating has a great room attached to the kitchen. My husband and I disagree about whether or not a formal living and dining space would help/hinder selling the place later. I think it's fine not to have a formal space for either if you have a great room. What do you think? Thanks :-)

Actually, it's a Wood Stove. My roommate Douses some Kindling with Lighter Fluid, tosses a match on it and a couple minutes later throws a big Log of Oak and it burns perfectly.

He thinks he is a genius for figuring out such a brilliant idea for starting fires. All these years I've been crumpling up paper, strategically placing pieces of Kindling and gradually stoking the fire with smaller pieces of Cedar before I would dare put a big log of oak in the fire.

My Question Is:

Is it really a good idea to use lighter fluid in a wood stove? Or any possible dangers?

I know there is a reason why nobody I know does this. Please Help!

Lately, any question I ask goes to a vote even though I have selected a best answer. How does one contact Yahoo to complain. The person I have selected loses 10 points and I lose 3 for not choosing a best answer. I am posing this in House and Garden because that is where I am usually at and maybe other folks in this category are having a similar problem.

I have a old garden tiller that not had much use. When it is stored, the horizonal shaft motor is angled with the cylinder angling down. This causes oil to get in the cylinder. I was wondering if I could turn the motor 180 degrees where the cylinder will be sloping up. If you notice, lots of the plain push mower motors that the cylinder is facing the front of the mower. In past times it faced the rear causing the same problem when you pushed the handle down for high grass

My ex-wife recently rented house in a hurry. Basically she had to move out of the place she was in rapidly. The house she is in now is relatively sub-standard, ants, bad plumbing, slum-lord style. She is refusing to pay rent until the landlord makes some necessary repairs to the house which he refuses to do. I have seen the house and fully agree with her. Who should she/we contact as far as getting the house inspected and written up so he (the landlord) has to make needed repairs.

Some of the electric sockets in my house have stopped working yet others are working. The fuse box is not indicating any problem (i.e. all fuses are still switched to on). Can anyone offer any advice? Should I be checking the wires in the sockets are all still attached to the plates? Why would some of the sockets work & others wouldn't. Any advice is welcome. Thanks in advance.

My bedroom is 19x10 feet. I have a ledge on the wall where my creme colored upholstery bed will be. The dressers and other furniture will be a dark wood. Can I make a wall that is a red work in there? And can I do so without focusing my entire decor on that wall? What kind of things do you suggest?
