So, heres the situation. We have this house that has too much junk. There is stuff here that is more than 20 years old that we do not use. Heres the problem, we just found out that we are moving in June! A little over a year ago a car hit out house & that's why we are moving. We can't fix the house, so we are just gonna have it tore down. I want to keep my room organized, so that when it comes time to pack, I won't forget anything. My mom said that shes going to leave the junk inside the house, but theres a problem there too, how will we know if there is something we really need. I have junk and important things all mixed up in my room and I'm very very unorganized. How can i learn to be organized?? Also, what can I do with my junk other than just leaving it?? Thanks

I have a portable baseboard style heater that needs the plug replaced. Neither wire is color-coded. So, does it matter which wire goes on either terminal of the new plug?

I bought a new dryer and when I plug it up it does not work, a multi meter was used to check and make sure the dryer is getting the correct amount of amps but the dryer will still not work. We've had 3 dryers(the same kind) from Lowes and none of them work so we had to send them back. When Lowes checked them they worked. So why wont they work in my house?

The cover has a verticle opening and you insert the thin, pronged, metal key in and push up or down to turn lights off or on. Is anyone familiar, and do you know what the key is called? Thanks Sabsing

I have an oak table and to try and make a long story short, here's the deal. There was hot food on a paper plate in two spots on my table, obviously it was too hot and now my table has two white marks on it. I've tried the heavy duty wax we got when we bought the table but that didn't take it off. Our last resort is to sand the table and refinish it again, but I was wondering if anyone has had this problem before and maybe there is a simple little home remedy that might work.

I have noticed this recently, it doesn't actually feel that cold but you would think it is because of the steam when breathing, is this normal?

I work in a not so clean apartment complex,during my employment I have seen people live in others filth,by that I mean constant sewage leaks and no replacement of carpet or lino.I personally have seen sewage ooooz out from underneith the lino...one hallway was contanimated and all they did was spray deoderizer...I hope there won't be any babies planning on licking the floors.The molds that they find are just painted over so if you live there don't plan on scratching the paint.
Should this be a concerne I should bring up with housing athourity...or is this legal and I just don't know it.

I have a Genie Pro screw drive garage door opener. I had my vehicle stolen a while back and lost the remote. Is there any way I can replace the remote? If so, how do I get it to work with my existing garage door opener?

I have a Vornado HEPA air filter. I finally got around to changing the carbon filter today and noticed there was a thick layer of grey dust on it. After shaking it out outside, it looks pretty much like a new one. Is there any invisible and/or chemical difference in a used carbon filter that would make it undesirable to reuse. or can one reuse a carbon filter after merely shaking the dust loose?

There is a guy giving away a house for free. He built a new one, and does not want to tear the other one down. It's an hour and a half away from where I live. I looked at it yesterday, and it's a nice house. We could really use it. However, the price I got from a home mover was 14,000 dollars. That price kind of defeats the purpose of a free house. I know it has to be split. I know the roof has to come off. I know that it has to be jacked up and supported. I know a guy with a semi truck. This may not even be legal? But I'm thinking maybe we can move it ourselves. I own a construction company... although it's true I know little about house moving. I'm not looking for the answers that most of you have, like, forget about it, or pay the 14,000, or all of the reasons this is a bad idea. What I want to know is, can any of you tell me a cheaper way to do this? Or can you tell me how? Do you have any ideas? I want to move it for a very low price. Please leave helpful suggestions. Thank you.

I have a problem with damp on a wall in my flat and think that maybe its because of a lack of ventilation, would a dehumidifier help to prevent the dampness?
