I've just discovered that one of the walls of my bedroom is almost completely covered in mould!
I would like to get rid of it, but how?The mould is growing on the walls and it has started to come through the wallpaper now. The problem is that I rent the place,so I have to make sure I am very carefull and do not cause any damage to the property.
So what would be the safest way to kill the spores?

I'm hoping to move soon but I have A LOT of things I don't need. Most of it is depression glass and collectible glassware. I've tried Ebay but the market is so flooded with this stuff, it's not selling and I'm wasting money just listing it. There's a huge storage building full of this stuff and I don't want to just give it away. Any ideas? I thought about selling it all as a lot in the newspaper. What do you think?

my dad has broken several radios- he does not want anything with headphones or to stick in his pocket- just something with some speakers so he can get am/fm stations. needs to be "drop-able" because it gets thrown in the wheelbarrow with tools - we saw ones from dewallt and sony for $130 - looking for something about half that price-- anyone have ideas on durable "boomboxes"?

I'm planning on burning some incense that I've been growing and need to put a large quantity of it in an area and burn it while the scent is sucked into a chamber below.

What is the best makeshift device to do this?

It should have a screen and be able to hold up to a gram of rosemary or thyme. No tinfoil.

Why does our home gets so dusty?
We do not have any pets in the home.
We live in the city.
We can dust our home and there will be more dust within a couple of days.
I realize this happens, but the amount of dust is way above average.
How can we remedy this problem?

My neighbors own a car detailing business & have about 5 vehicles on our street. We live on opposite corner houses. Meaning they have two sides of their house to park & a driveway, yet they always park on our side of the street. Sometimes my guests have to park in front of other neighbors houses because the spaced by our house have been taken by the other neighbors. It's really frustrating to come home & these folks are parked where I think I should be. I am being petty, or I am entitled to say something>? Help!~KIMBO

I think Sharon Osborune had a great idea to install a urinal for Ozzy. I think a personal urinals might give a husband a sense of "this is mine" and perhaps lessen the wife's complaining about pee being everywhere except in the toliet. YOUR THOUGHTS...

I have two spider plants that now have this problem. The leaves at the center of the plant have the brown/black patches, but otherwise the plants look amazing. I have them under plant lights and water them with filtered water. I don't believe that this is a under/over-watering issue or a fluoride issue either (this is different than brown tips). I've looked and I can't find anything crawling around, even with a hand lense (doesn't mean they aren't there somewhere!). Does anyone have any suggestions as to what the problem is and what I can do about it? Your help is greatly appreciated!

2. Kenmore Washer and Dryer--8 years old--still in good shape...XL capacity
3. Various appliances: blender/coffeemaker/toaster/microwave/crock pot...still in good condition, some items seldom used
4. Lot's of framed art, some large pieces and some small
6. Dishes (8 pc. setting, some items missing due to breakage) silverware, Pyrex and Corningware baking sets, skillets, pots, pans
7. Holiday decorations decorations, some handmade items
8. Several pieces of lead crystal...vases, candleholders, frames, serving platters...very good condition
9. Also selling my entire 100 pc. Barbie collection. I figured I would group items in a box and sell them by price ppoint.

Any ideas on prices or advice would help, thanks!
