I am not sure what it is called but in our area no one builds rock houses because of the cost but someone told me that the rock houses I see here are actually rocks that have been sliced and put up for looks. How expensive is this in Alabama compared to actual rock.

I have a Poulan "WildThing" chainsaw and it has an 18 inch bar. Do I just have to buy an 18 inch chain to fit it, or is there something else I need to look into. My manual does not say anything1

I bought some about 6" tall. Planted, watered and thought I was taking good care of them. They turned brown and died.

I just got a leather couch from a friend that smokes. At his house I never noticed, since the whole house smelled like it. Now I moved it to my house (non-smoking) and my living room smells like a cheap motel. We’ve sprayed under the cushions (the cloth part) with Febreeze several times. It is probably a little better, but not enough. Is it even possible to get rid of the smell of stale cigarettes, or am I just SOL?

At the moment we're looking into buying some property in France in the village of St. Croix, near Villefranche de Rouergue. There is a large barn(which we would renovate into a house) and quite a bit of surrounding garden and the price is very reasonable. I'd just like to know of other peoples experience of buying houses(or preferably old buildings and renovating them) in France. We already have someone who is an architect and would like to take on the project so thats something we don't have to worry about. What kind of questions should we be asking,or what things should we be doing? We're in good contact with the person who is selling and have visited the property several times. We live in Ireland for most of the year,so one of the things would be how to manage the property while we weren't living in it. Any advice and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hi. I love strawberries, but they're not readily available here in Tobago. I can't get seeds, nor the plants, although I can buy strawberries (occasionally!). Can I grow a plant from an existing strawberry, and if so, how! Thanks in advance for your help!

It seems that every 'portable' model we look at needs to have access to a hole in the wall - which is extremely impractical for our living area. I didnt think it'd be so hard to find something like a heater but for cold air....

I know the easiest way to repel the nasty little things is to use bug spray, but are there any foods or drinks that you can eat/drink to repel them?

i run a summer day camp program for 3-7 year olds, and in the past few years the summer temps have run from 101 - 105 on an average day. and i'd like to take one of our playrooms and air condition it.

the problem is, i'm on a TIGHT budget (less than 150$ to spend) and am looking at used window-mounted AC units. but our windows are old victorian style ones, that open from the bottom, outward at about a 45 degree angle, and go no further.
so there's no way i could put a window-mounted AC unit in them.

is there any way i can put a window mounted unit on a table that's the same height as the open window, and let it drain that way? or.. are there any solutions?

this is a very outdoors-ey summer camp program, and it's okay if there is some water pooling on the other side of the window/on the cement. and we're a very eco-conscious program as wel, so if there any more eco-friendly AC units, please let me know what they are.

the room is about 800 sq. ft

The smallest is about an inch and a half in size while the largest is upto four inches. There must be atleast a couple per room and bathroom. And I have a four bedroom house with attached bathrooms. So I imagine between 10-15 lizards. It is a whole colony haha. But they are harmless and run away from me frantically. Occasional it can be disconcerting when im opening a door and one of the larger ones nearly drops on me.

I dont want to call an exterminator and kill them. That would be too cruel.

I heard that leaving used chicken egg shells in various places scares them away because they think there is a larger predator around.

Any ideas suggestions or ideas?

Im thinking to get one when I move into my new apartment. I tried one in the store and I dint think it was that great until I tried the regular mattress next to it. The when I tried it again I felt the difference. But its so expensive! anyway... how is it when you just want to sit up in bed and read. does your bum sink in? does it keep the shape of ur body after a while?
