Home & Garden - 14 October 2007

Just moved into a new condo, and the electric fireplace has been used with wood. Looks a little cloggy when you look up it. Want to start having fires. Should I get it checked to make sure it's OK? How much does this cost?

We had a bottle fall to the floor and, though it was cleaned immediately, the grout between the tiles has gone from white to nearly black. Anyone ever find a solution for this?

My kids are having a blast changing the thermostat and it is using too much gas, heh. I was wonder if there was a way to disable the dial (its a old thermostat) so no matter where they moved it, it would always heat to a specific temperature. Also, if that is not a possiablity, maybe there is something new i could get? I dont know. Thanks a million

The labels on these new GE silicone caulks suggest that their mold fighting additives will reduce mold problems after installation. These tubes command a dollar or more higher price. How well do they work?

These jeans have probably been washed 5 times, but every time they get washed and dried, they end up wrinkled regardless of how fast I take them out of the dryer. I was them in cold and dry perm press. Any thoughts?

The standard red beam laser pointers. I have an iBeam that is hooked up to my ipod. I was pointing at a cockroach that was jumping around and then it just stopped. I threw a shoe right next to it to see if it would move but it didn't.

I've been sick this past week with the flu :( This morning my boyfriend came by and brought two (it's our lucky number) of my favorite flowers: pink roses! When he brought them, they were already in water and in a vase. How do I care for them??

Warning: I do not have a green thumb! Lol :)

I have a split level house and the % for pretty much the whole house has been between 55-60%. Do you think i need a dehumidifer or is there something else i can do to make it less humid. The temp in my house is 72, so a little too cool for AC and a little too warm for heating...
