Some punk just threw a pair of sneakers over the wire right in front of my house. The quality of this neighborhood is steadily declining, and nothing says "ghetto" like a pair of freakin' sneakers dangling from a wire. Any tips on getting them down?

Picture u walk through a doorway (just a doorway, no door) with a wall running from the right side of the doorway u r walking through, to the wall in front of you. Immediately to your left is the side of the refrigerator. Now if you were standing in the doorway, and reached out your right hand to cut out an alcove.....that's what my washer/dryer are in. I cant to an accordian wall or a divider, because it would block the entrance to my kitchen. There are cabinates above my washerr/dryer, but the don't stick out to the end of them, so I can't hang anything from the cabinets. If I use a shower rod, the cabinets won't open. Ugh I have a real pickle here.

In Illinois, from what I gather from looking at the plumbing code, and "air gap" is not required for the drainage hose of a dishwasher. However, is it recommended to use one, as opposed to making the "high loop" in the drainage hose under the sink cabinet? Is the high loop usually enough?

6 years ago was the last time my central air kept my house nice, cool and comfortable for the summer. I was told by the gentleman recharging the freon that I will only have enough freon to last me for that summer. He said I have a leak from a coil which house the freon. Are there any DIY suggestions I can get before I call in a professional or purchase a new unit?

They are in my kitchen, in a sort of alcove, with cabinets above them. But there'sno place to hang a curtain rod, because one side of the alcove is flush against a wall next to a doorway. But I want to sort of hide them, and also to reduce the dust in my kitchen produced by the dryer. Any Ideas? I have to be able to access them easily, because I have to do laundry daily. ???

It was once a dark walnut colored wood and now it's been painted thickly dark green. I just want it back the way it was. Is there a product or should I just sand it?

I was walking in the woods the other day and found a cedar snag. The roots had dried up and it looks cool. The outside of it is dried up and does not look very good but the inside still looks like cedar. How can I make a good looking walking stick out of it. get rid of the old dead stuff and get to the nice piece of the wood?
