Serious(ish) question.

I can't see the average British house lasting as long as the pyramids... (5000 years +) or maybe they can last that long or longer... I don't know.

Won't all the masses of 1950s+ homes need to be demolished and need to be rebuilt cause of eventual structural weaknesses developing in brickwork/material over a prolonged period of time.

First I found a few snails, then after I came back from vacation i found a creepy crawler with a thousand legs (or at least it looked like it). I sprayed it with some common bug spray but now im wondering if i will keep this plant. I really love the look of this plant and it complements my home nicley. Any advice on how i can rid the plant of these pests?I bought this beauty three days ago....

but I have no idea what kind of price to go by. They are split level
and are made to sit in line with each other, but the bottom bunk can be moved around to go where ever. They were re-stained and varnished about 15 years ago, and have a large toy/storage box under the top bunk. Don't know what kind of wood they're made from, but it's pretty soft, and a light colour. I think they are considered antique. I am in Australia, anyone got any idea?

what is the best way to catch a mouse in the house ? regular mouse traps dont work, the jaw kind always fail and they seem to avoid the sticky traps. I live on a farm with farm cats so either they dont find mice appetizing or else the mice are smartter than us and the cats. please help.

If you require a caregiver, I'd like you to answer this simple question. Do you prefer to soak in a hot bath or a quick shower?

My husband and I want to buy our kids a swing set this year for their birthdays but are not sure as to what type to buy. I want a wooden one and my husband wants a metal one. I need some feedback from you guys as to the pros and cons of each type of swing set and why or why not you like the type of swing set you talk about. Also if you have any sites that have reviews on swing sets. thanks.

My wooden table had papers on it, and syrup got spilt on them, and now some paper is still stuck. I peeled off as much as I could. Is there a faster way to get it off?

I bought this plant from a farmer's market and obviously misheard the man when he told me what it was. I have no idea what type of plant this is. Here are some pictures:

I want to remove the silver backing from a 12 inch square section of a large mirror so as to have a clear "window" to see through. How can this be done. If chemicals are used, how can a sharp edge be maintained?
