the hope chest was my mother-in-laws and does not have even the slightest scent of cedar left. i understand that cedar dust (if you sand the surface) can cause respiratory problems for some people.

I have a concrete basement/family room floor which I need to cover. I am considering covering it with concrete paint and a large, room sized rug versus laying carpet tiles. I don't want any laminate or wall to wall carpet. Any thoughts?

I have laid a real wood floor and made a real mess of it. Stupidly I have glued the tongue and groove edged joins between the planks and now as the planks expand the floor has raised in places and it is becoming difficult to open and close the doors to my halway and kitchen!
Can anyone give me any advice on how I may salvage this project and if there is a product that I might be able to use that could loosen the planks that have been glued? Any advice would be greatly appreciated as the wooden floor cost me a fortune. Thanks.

My boyfriend works for an RV manufacturing company and people are always giving him fabric samples. I know I could make something with this material but I don't have a clue what. I am not very good at arts & crafts. Is there a website where I could get some simple ideas.

I have microfiber "throw" pillows that sit on my couch. My boys have coughed, sneezed and got them full of germs when they were sick. How do I wash this type of a pillow? It is not a zipper style either.

Recently moved in to a newly built home in a rural area, right next to a busy road.

Recently I've noticed weirdos stopping in front of my home and taking photographs of my property. When I go outside to let them know I can see them, they take off.

At nights, there are strange cars parked on the road with their headlights on near my home.

I have expensive new cars parked on my property so I am thinking they are planning to carjack them or rob my home.

So far I've:

Installed a fence around the property.
Got a large dog that bark at strangers and will bite if they happen to jump the fence

Which is the best wireless security camera that works in the total darkness (there are no street lights here) and that can be broadcast on the Internet?

I have a chain linked fence only, so what can I do so they can't see throught it?

Any other ideas?
