Ok its a really hot day here in Vic,Aus. 37oC. and its not even summer yet. I luv the heat but after along day at work its not that great. and also i dont really get a good night sleep. Now i live in a small flat/apartment, my bedroom is upstairs, so hot air rises. Its always cold downstairs and i always shut the house up so that the hot north wind wont heat the house up while im gone. I also shut every curtain to keep the sun out. Now the house isnt mine, so installing airconditioning isnt an option. Opening my bedroom window doesnt really help as i get the north wind in which is warm not cooling. Getting a fan does nothing really except blow the hot air around. What can i do to cool my bedroom? its only the bedrooms that get hot.

Hi, I have some serious bramble issues that need clearing.

I saw something which I can only describe as a meat cleaver on stick which seemed to be great for clearing them - what is the name of this item?

Also, what would be a good alterntive for clearing the brambles. There are a LOT, I would estimate dimensions at 40ft length, 10-15ft height, and 20ft width basically a massively overgrown fence.

Help! We are clean people and keep a clean kitchen; however, I discovered we have roaches living in our dishwasher...at least that is the only place I have seen them. Any suggestions?

I have tried SO many space heaters:

- Ceramic Tower
- Electric Stove/Fireplace
- Oil-Filled Radiator
- Stanley Ceramic Heater/Blower
- Honeywell Utility Heater
- Radiant Light Heater
- and NOW a micathermic heater

nothing is working! I'm trying to supplement my electric baseboard heat, which heats the entire common area of my apartment, by trying to heat only the area that i'm sitting in.... what should I do?? What else should I try?

I am extremely germ-phobic and the thought of germy shoes on my beautifully clean off-white carpets makes me ill. I don't know why people don't automatically remove their shoes once they've stepped into my home. None of us have our shoes on, the carpets are off-white, and you can clearly see the shoes lined up by the front door. Would it be rude to ask people to remove their dirty shoes or is there another subtle hint I can drop without offending anyone?

We just built a sandbox and filled it with about 500lbs of playsand, and it seems the neighborhood cats are jumping over our fence just to pee in it. I'm experimenting with a few ways to try to repel them, but is there anyway to safely clean up the existing sand?

We are hoping to paint our oak cabinets antiqued black. We got a quote from a professional, but it seems expensive to me. I was wondering if anyone else has paid to have this done. Any ideas on the going rate? I have a "normal" sized kitchen with an island.

I just bought this electric blanket, but it doesn't specify whether it can be left on overnight or not. It cost me $30 for a twin size, so I know it wasn't a really wonderful model or anything.
