I removed the tape but all of it did not come off. I've tried windex, ammonia and alcohol and I still cannot remove it.

We have a member in our family that is allergic to almost all the flea sprays and powders, and at this time of the year it's even worse because it's to cold to vent the house. Are there any old time remedys out there or non-allergenic products that will work?

Can anyone tell me how much damage can a mole do or several at that. I hate to kill them if there isn't any harm done. Do they damage trees, fruit trees, plants, what?

When the cable company hooked up my internet they left the cable sitting in the middle of the floor between my dining room and my living room, not only does it not look good, it's a tripping hazard. Any suggestions on how I should go about covering it up?

We are building a new home. 3300 heated living space. I know geothermal costs more up front to install than an oil heating system - but is geothermal heating all that it is cracked up to be? will it be cheaper/more efficient than oil heat? any other thoughts would be welcome. thanks!

I live in an apartment and the ceiling fan doesn't really work too well, so I usually turn a fan on and leave the door open after I shower. But I also heard you should leave the door closed. Any ideas?
