We are going to purchase hardwood floors this winter. We are also going to purchase new furniture. Are the woods supposed to match between the floors and furniture (same color)? Your thoughts...

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I just bought used furnitures for an incredible price with the only problem that they were dirty. i thought that was ok that i would have them cleaned but it cost aroudn 145 dollars to have just a sofa and loveseat cleaned. so I'm asking you guys what good product out there i could use to clean the sofa and loveseat myself.
Or do you think i should just have it cleaned cuz my main problem is once i clean it myself, how do i get it to dry

My washing machine just crapped out on me a few days ago, and my husband and I are going tomorrow to shop for a new one. We had our dryer replaced last year right around this time and it was a gas dryer, so we had our gas company shut off the valve, and we switched to an all electric dryer. My husband has not yet pulled the washer out from the wall, but I'm just wondering if there are washers that use natural gas to heat the hot water, or if they are all electric?

Okay so my house is 7 years old on a slab with very slow drains.
Sometimes it takes an hour for a drain to finally clear but only takes 10 seconds to fill up when the water turns on. The kitchen sink is probably the only one that drains correctly. Would this most likely be a vent problem or a main problem? Also where the heck are they located? I have a drain auger but can't locate either the main drain or the vent.

I'm almost positive I've seen plates on walls without looking like they are attached to anything really, just sort of floating. I've even seen larger platters hanging and I love the look so I was wondering if there is more than 1 way to hang a plate?

I bought a house that was built in 1982, but it does not have a fire place. Is it possible to install a fire place in the house post completion?

It's a concord blue - streptocarpella for you plant people. And it looked like it was doing great. I watered it before I left Friday and when i came back into work it was all brown and dead looking. I should note that my office is usually extremely hot - around 90 degrees. Could it have gotten too hot over the weekend? Or maybe it was the opposite -the heat was off and it got too cold??
I trimmed most of the brown stuff off and am left with a sad looking plant. Is there any way I can revive it? Any ideas on what happened so I can prevent it?

Okay so we hooked up my new washer last night and when I reached in the basin to get the wet clothes out of it I got shocked... Someone at my work said something about grounding out the washer. she said newer washers need to be grounded to avoid electric shock... I'm completely lost can someone please tell me what to look for?

I was watching on the news on how a cabin blew up and the kids got their faces burned up. It had something to do with the gas tank or the propane tank or the fuel, whatever...........

I've used a shop vac to get out most of the wetness, but now it is still damp and I think it's starting to get that still moist/ mildewy smell. It there some sort of powder or something I can put down to soak up the water and possibly get rid of the oder?

I am remodeling an older lake home.I have read in many of the books and magazines that salvage yards are a great source of all kinds of materials.
