Home & Garden - 16 October 2007

the basement is an apt and the bedroom is the 'funkiest' part of the apt. I guess this is a 2 part question:

1. How can I get rid of or mask the smell?
2. How can I find the source of the smell?

Are there services out there that specialize in this sort of thing?

any help from you guys will be greatly appreciated!

I have tried ebay (only 1 set on there and now completely overpriced!!!) and also on Google (company says they are out of stock). Are there any shops (preferably in Northern Ireland) that sell them ?

We are in a drought and our grass is really not 100%.

We have 2 options.which do you think is better:

1.spread top soil over the whole grass and sow seeds into it

2.spread Dynamic Lifter(Fertilizer) around the grass.

We are in Sydney Australia so it is coming into summer.we water at least once a week(usually Sunday) but sometimes twice a week(wednesday due to water restrictions). We have all types of grass but mainly couch and buffalo.There are also heaps of weeds(Bindii and Catsear).

My husband bought some old American silver coins off ebay, but they're a bit grimy. What is the best way to clean them without damaging them?

How can something be on "Sale" when it is never not "on sale?" For example "Michaels", they have custom "frames" at 50% off in their ad every week. I have been framing pictures there for about 10 years and in all that 10 years have never seem them NOT on sale for 50% off. Same thing with mattresses, stores have them ALWAYS on sale, so how can they be ON SALE if they are never NOT on sale? Strange uh? Thank you.

Right now my walls are pink and green . We painted my room last summer and im actually kinda tired of the colors. My furniture is light oak? Im not sure but it's a tan color, and so is my floor. I want a more grown up/ adult looking room, more "sophisticated"
What's a good color?

I have a issue here and I hope someone can tell me the answers to my question? They are working on building us a new bridge across the creek here on the road I live.. They accidently cut into the main water line... They turned the water back on after 11 hours without any problems, they did this now 2 other times. I was home 2 of the times they cut it off and knew what to do when I turned on the faucets. Well the 3rd time I wasn't home.My mother had lung surgery for cancer and I was with her and when I came home I had to run the dogs some water that stays in my home and when I turned that faucet on it about blew it off the sink, I didnt go in the back bedroom where the hot water heater is.No one stays in there.I waited 2 days until I knew my mom was ok and went into the bedroom to move the computer in there and water was standing in the carpet. The hot water heater the lines coming up through the floor was busted.. can that do this? If you need more information please e-mail me,

Does anyone know how I can buy Imported Flower Seeds directly from a supplier? I am IN LOVE with Japanese Morning Glories, but I hate having to pay so much for so few seeds. I would rather 'Cut out the Middle Man' or whatever. I am getting a business license so I will have the option to buy wholesale, I just need some business names.

I'm going to be a burlesque/moulin rouge girl for Halloween, and I bought a mini top hat to wear. I want to attach netting to it to cover the face, and I'm also wondering how to attach the hat to my head since the hat is pretty small. The hat is made of felt. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I dismantled a barn on my property that I have records indicating it was built 1888. I have eighteen barn beams that range in length from 10' to 18'. Also I have many 4 " thick floor boards 12 - 16 " wide and 10'- 18' long. Also the slate has been taken down carefully so not to break them. Does anyone know a fair price range of what I can sell them for?

I have a lonely philodendron leaf that someone gave me in a little cup of water. Will it root? Or do I need a larger cutting?

I also have another one that turned yellow. Why did it do that? Is there anything I can do to save it?
