I have a house / garage full of things I've collected over the years. Even papers and old documents that are of no use to me. It's getting to the point where I can't even walk through the place anymore. I'd like to clean it up, but have no idea where or how to start. Can someone help?

Ok, so my pool's water was green & I did the necessary things to put it back to normal. It got back to normal and got celar, but the sides have green stuff on it, I think its still algae, any ways people got in & then all the water turned cludy. Any ideas why this happened, it was clear before they got in, ecept the sides that were green. This pool is above ground. Any tips on how to get the green stuff of the pool sides?

The teeth on the zipper don't come together for about 1/4 of an inch. The zipper is ok above and below this spot and nothing wrong with the zipper pull. I can unzip the door about three feet before I come to the bad spot. I can't pull the zipper past this spot.
Any ideas?

I think I need to have my a/c unit mainatananced. My 1500' house cost me $320 to cool last month (at 80 degrees).

I thought it had to be charged every couple of years. After talking to this guy he said it doesn't have to be charged unless theres a leak. He said they only get charged a once or twice in their life time.

I'm a new home owner and a woman - I don't want to be taken advantage of.
What do they NORMALLY do during a service? How much should it cost me? What should I expect?
