Has anyone heard of this system? Any idea how much it costs to have fitted and anything similar on sale in the UK? I'd like to put one in my roof if it's not too expensive.

I have two problems birds and flies.

It is sickening to see flies do black poop on my plants and they leave a black dots on my lovely plants. I am looking for some household remedies for this problem. I have tried spraying a mild liquid dish washing liquid with water on my plants. I think it does help a little but i am not sure if the soapy water will harm my plants when it goes to soil.

What do i do with birds that eat my plants. I have done some netting on younger plants and i cannot cover the whole garden with net.

Any solutions!

I had never heard of such a thing but apparently they are common in the commercial cleaning industry. From what I understand it is basically a canister style machine, that straps on your back, then you just have to keep up with the cord and the hose....it's like carrying a canister with you. GENIUS! The only thing I don't like about canister vacs is that you drag them behind you. Imagine it off the floor!

I wonder if there is one specially designed for home use, at a more friendly price?

Users, what are your thoughts?

Are the bags easily available and reasonably priced?

I need the best way to clean the Adidas Men's 1 DLX Runner Shoe. They are white annd gold.
They have the micro chip in the shoe to make the shoes change on what surface I am running on.
I usually throw my running shoes in the washing machine if they really need it. Can the same be done with these shoes or will they be ruined? I have run in the rain and nothing happened to the micro chip in the shoe.

We are planning on moving to the Lehigh Valley next year and I'm noticing that most homes have electric stoves. Here in So. California, we've only used natural gas and we really prefer it over electric.

Is it expensive to replace an electric stove with a gas one, using propane, and is the conversion to a propane supply for a stove easy to do? Is it easy enough to be done by a homeowner or does a plumber have to do it, and if a plumber comes out to install the propane tank, does he do the whole job (from the tank to the kitchen), or do we need to get another installer for that part of the job?

It seems like when we buy a home in PA, we will most likely be getting an electric stove with it, but we would definitely be changing it out to gas.

Thanks for any information you can provide on this. It will be greatly appreciated.

I know this sounds crazy, but I heard someone talking about smoking tomatoes. More specific, and a bit odd, smoking the stems of them?

haha, crazy. Does anyone know about this, or maybe even about just smoking any sort of veggie/fruit?

I cannot get my ceramic hob clean. I have tried all the cleaners under the sun, for use on ceramic hobs, but still end up with rings where the pans have been. Any old wives tales out there for an environmentaly friendly cleaner

I had some pine t&g flooring that needed to be replaced in the middle of my hallway. I replaced it and I think that it may be oak that I used. I have stripped the floor already and it all looks the same. what I'm wanting to know is when I stain it, will I be able to tell any difference?

Hi, I'm stuck. I'm interested in rich colors, and the shabby chic/utilitarian look. I love the casual and formal look together.
One of my problems is, is that I'd like to have a different color in every room. I realize, that to have connection throughout the home, at least requires the same colored baseboards, frames etc.

What colors would you, personally, use throughout your home in each of the rooms to get the clean shabby chic/utilitarian/ralph lauren look?

Also, what accent color would you use and what color would you do your baseboards or frames etc.?

Sounds gross, I know. I looked inside my toilet tank and the inside walls are 100% coated with a black slimy film. I took a piece of paper towl and smeared some of it, and it looks like mold or mildew. Its soft, and can be dislodged. So I took a toilet brush and scrubbed the sides and bottom of the tank and flushed it several times to flush it out. But, it looks like the mold is really set into the pourous surface of the porcelain. I know a wet dark spot is a perfect breading ground for mold and mildew. But can something kill it? How about pouring bleach directly into the tank? Is it a normal thing to have, especially with an old toilet?

I'm running the DW and noticed some suds coming out of it. And I came to realize that I'm a moron!!! I completely filled the rinse aid compartment with Dawn dishsoap. I thought it was the rinse aid! Crap! How am I gonna get all of it removed from that compartment, and how am I gonna get all those suds out of the DW? Have I ruined the DW?? (I've been secretly wanting a new one anyway...lol)! Thanks for your advise.
