I purchased a new vacuum a few wks ago. We have a new rug and there are fuzz balls all over the rug (I think from it being new). The fuzz is getting caught in the vacuum and the vacuum is not picking stuff up. Do you think this is caused by the rug being new or is it b/c the vacuum is a cheap piece of crap (about $60)? Thanks

Would the arm, to open and close it, point out-ward or in-ward (toward the chimney wall)? We just bought this house and are clueless.

Getting rid of mice?
Over the past three months, I have seen a total of 16 mice in my apartment and have caught 13. Please dont reply with this is the time of year for them to be entering homes... 16 is a little rediculous and this has been going on since summer. None of my neighbors have seen any, just me! What should I do for this?! I have a baby at home, and am sickened to think that he could be crawling around on mice feces. yuck! I have spoke with the landord and they set traps... 5 mice caught since the traps were laid. They also told me that my cat is the best deterrant... my cat is useless.. he doesnt even bother with the mice! Any suggestions???!! Thank you so very much. :)

I have soot in my house, roof damage from the high winds, and a smoke odor in my house from the fires in San Diego. The insurance adjustor is coming tomorrow (Saturday). I am getting quotes for fixing the roof, window cleaning, power washing the outside of the house, cleaning of carpets/upholstered furniture, dry cleaning curtains/bedding. What am I forgetting? I want to make sure that the insurance company compensates us for everything that I have thought of and everything that I haven't thought of. Help would be appreciated ASAP. I want to be prepared for the adjustor.

We took all the paneling around the windows and doors cause we are redoing the drywall and flooring, but a lot of the wood has nail holes in it.

We want to fill in those holes and paint the wood.

Is it okay to use regular caulk instead of wood putty? (Wood putty is just so much more expensive!!)

ok i live in idaho and right now the weather is really wierd yesterday it was 65 and today it is 30. I have already turned off the water for the yard but my mom is telling me to turn it on again because of the little bit of good weather we are having. She says that the trees and grass will die if you dont keep watering them. I said that once the leave fall off the trees then the trees dont need any more water. Am i right? I thought the only thing trees need the water for is for the creation of glucose through photosynthesis. ultimatly to make ATP.
Any thoughts? ideas?

I live next to a field and for the first time in 16 years of being here...a mouse got it. It's living in a wardrobe upstairs and all the traps I have set, so far, haven't gone off. I used chocolate to bait them and it's been feasting on it withouth it going off. I bought a new better advanced trap, BOUND to go off when it tries to get the chocolate...but it's been over a day and it's not been near it. I'm wondering if it's dead, because it's been up scratching every other night in there. Can alot of chocolate kill a field mouse?

Ok so I live in a top floor apartment. My landlord took out our exhaust fan in our shower because it needed a new motor or something...but this was two months ago and she has yet to fix it. Now there seems to be black mold all over our ceiling and today I see water droplets all over the ceiling with like red drops inside of it..it's really weird..it's this a mold or fungus? Should I be worried and nag the landlord even more?

I am trying to figure out if you install it directly on the concrete or not and if it actually sticks.
