I live in a neighborhood where it will sometimes smell like an open sewer. Sometimes the air outside becomes very pungent and it is nowhere near a treatment plant. I keep my windows closed, but it still comes in through the vents.

How do I at least combat the smell? It is about to make me sick.

My husband and I just got married 2 days ago. On our wedding day a family member said "its like a new beginning everything that happened before is out the window" meaning some of the things we did to each other in the past. Is the slate really wiped clean when you get married?

I am having a home built and the company uses G.E . I have a G.E Profile double electric oven; it was delivered and the motherboard has to be replaced. The builders say that replacing the motherboard is okay and we will still have a warranty; I say give me a new oven. I go to closing on the 16 Nov 07.

Why did she do it? Because she is 14, I suppose! However, my wash baisin is now blocked. I have tried pouring boiling water down it and have also used Mr Muscle drain cleaner but nothing is working. The wax seems to provide a very efficient seal. Has anyone any ideas how I can clear the pipes of wax?

I'm installing a timber post & rail fence and wondering whether to go to the trouble of a scarf joint or whether a butt joint will be just as strong and look good? Timber is treated pine 150mm*40mm and I'm putting up 2 rails at 2.5m spacing fixed (nailed) to 125mm round posts at heights 0.5m & 1m per rail. Thanks.

I live in northern Michigan. There is snow on the ground here.

... And my lilac is blooming!

OK, so they're not big, tall flower spikes like normal; they're small clumps of flowers, but flowers nevertheless.

What is going on? What would cause a lilac to bloom at this time of year? And what will happen next spring? Are my flower buds for the spring now gone? Is there anything special that I should do to help the lilac for the upcoming spring?

I've taken apart the U at the bottom of the drain, after running cleaning chemicals through it. It is absolutely clean. I did NOT clean beyond that point with a snake. Sink drains wonderfully if water doesn't come in too fast, but almost stops once drain hole is covered to any degree.
