So a couple of days ago, my boyfriend and I noticed tons and tons of these itty bitty red bugs crawling all over the floor by our front door. They are tinier then a pin head, a deep red color and have an oval shaped body. We thought we killed them but today they were everywhere! All over the kitchen floor, the walls by our front door and the floor by the front door. He has carpet so we can't tell if they are on there or not. Any idea what these are? Are they harmful? Do we HAVE to call an exterminator or can we get rid of them on our own? PLEASE HELP! I hate bugs and I am so creeped out right now. Thanks!

Hi. I live in an apartment (In Ontario, Canada) that has no laundry and the landlord has said that it is ok to get washer and dryer. Have only heard bad things about dryers that just plug into a regular outlet so I am looking for another solution. There is a 220v plug for the stove, I don't think the wiring can handle another one (fuses) and I don't want the expense of having a separate plug run in . . . since I don't use the stove all the time, and the same will go for a dryer, is there any way to get this 220v plug to do double duty?

How do I handle my contractor when our project has doubled in price, lasted months longer than contracted, work has not been completed, other areas damaged by his workers, materials that "mysteriously" disappeared, and he is threatening me with a mechanics lien - if I don't pay him for work not completed? Help!

We have purchased a pillow top mattress from Macy's in July and paid $2000.00 for it. When buying it, I have asked the sales accosiate about the humps. He asured us that mattress has 10 years warranty and we won't have any problems with the hums. Unfortunately, after 2 months of use, a huge hump created right in the middle (please note, me and my husband are not overweight). So, Macy's sent an inspector to our house, he took a picture and soon we have received a letter from Macy's saying that this hump is normal and our mattress is not eligibal for an exchange or return and they advised us to take a better care of our mattress....
We would like to fight them and return the mattress but do not know what steps to take. Any advise would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I have a clipping that I have gotten to root a little and I wonder if I should just leave it longer, plant it in a pot or plant it in the ground (Dec?)?

This has been a question on my mind for a while now, I have heard from everybody I know that work in wood shops to not rip on a radial arm saw because it is not a good idea, even though you can it would be safer to rip on a table saw. Because its gets annoying ripping on a table saw, having to set up the rip fence every time. Anyone have a idea why it is not a good idea to rip on radial arm saw?

Just wondering. I guess most people would say they sing better when in the bathroom and whatnot.
