We live in a mid terraced house and one of our neighbour's have installed a wood burner.Im all for helping the environment but whenever it is working it usually smokes and often smells.The chimney is not as high as the roof so the wind seems to blow it towards our house and garden.We are getting increasingly frustrated of having to keep windows and doors shut to prevent smoke entering our house.Our 5 year old son also comments on the smell while playing in the garden.
Should we have to put up with it?
Are there any regulations regarding pollution via wood burners?
Should the chimney be higher than the roof by law?
We have not talked to the neighbours yet but any advice would be appreciated, Thanks

about 25 years ago i remember a chalk that i paid .10 for at a store boy howdy , this chalk was look just like a piece of chalk that you would write with, you could take it home and just put a mark on your cabnits or any where and you wouldnt beleave the drifference , it would kill 1000 of cock roaches and other bugs in a matter of a few hours. I have been looking for this stuff and i cannot find it anywhere on the little box it came in was only written in japanese or chinese .and i know it wasnt boric acid. If anyone knows what im talking about please let me know.thank you.

Honestly, I'd rather have some odors than the smell of that stuff around.

I spilled some granulated sugar on my hot cooktop and it immediately melted and solidified. I've tried the special cooktop cleaner and it does nothing. I've also tried scraping it with a razor blade (recommended in my cooktop manual). It scraped off some of the mess, but most of it just won't come off. Any ideas?

I have something that lives in my walls that you can hear chewing, that eats tupperware, wall, and wallpaper, not any food. I put rat poison down, in case it was a mouse or a rat, I now have several 2 to 3 inch circumference holes baseboard level in my walls. What should I do to get rid of whatever it is?

I am a massage therapist and i use about 25 to 30 sets per week. but i have 50 i keep them rotated and store them in plastic bins when not in use. Some times they still get an off or slightly funky smell. i don't think it is the lotion that i use for massage because they smell fresh out of the dryer. Any suggestions. thanks

My mom gave me an old chest of drawers painted a high gloss black (it almost looks like a piano). The paint is in perfect shape--do anyone know a way I can dull down the gloss without stripping the dresser? I would prefer an older, rubbed black finish but any suggestions that will remove some of the sheen would be appreciated.

A strange question, I know! But how hard is it to kick--hit, dig, whatever--through sheetrock to get to an adjoining room? How long would that take, if it's possible?
