I am getting my fiance a charcoal grill/smoker trailer for his wedding present. It needs to be a charcoal grill, he doesn't use propane, with a smoker.

I have tried absolutely everything to get rid of them, without success. But I am most afraid of them climbing into my bed while I am asleep. Can/will they really do this if the bed is neat and there is no food or crumbs around? Someone once told me that mice instinctly "know" that there are humans in the bed so they will stay away. Is this true?

when i leave the house i bump it up to 85. do you think it's better for me to turn the a/c off if i'll be gone for around 11-12 hours or leave it at 85? if i turn off the a/c the house can get as hot as 90+ degrees. my friends say to just leave it at a hotter setting so that the a/c doesn't work so hard trying to cool down the house when i do get home. what do you think?

I have a lot of dishes in the sink waiting to be done. Do you have any procedures or tips for getting the dishes washed properly in an efficient manner?

We purchased a new rain water tank. As it was been brought through to where it was to be positioned, it got caught on a pine tree and the pine needles went into it. My question is should we clean the needles out before connecting the pipes to it? Some people say that it won't matter leaving them in there and others say it will make your drinking water taste sour? What should we do? Thank you.

Hi, please need help urgently, I discover a tiny little mouse running around my apartment, I bought some of those sticky traps and caught him EWWWWWW!!! I thought everything was safe but now I see mice sh*t inside one of my cabinets and I'm so petrified to open it again, not sure if the sh*t is from the old mouse or my apartment has more... I asked the manager and she just comes up with stupid wood traps...I contacted a guy that will charge 75 to come and load 2 or 3 traps and 45 every 2 months for follow up... do you think I should ask my rent lady to cover part of the fee? at least the first visit... I can't get into my kitchen without panicking and I have a 6 yr old that has no clue or she will freak out... please somebody give me a speech to tell my rent lady to cover part of the fee for the pro guy to come and load traps...

That crap WILL NOT come out. I used a remover tool - wouldn't budge. Bought some stuff to loosen it, and it's as stuck as ever. Any suggestions?

I'm 22 years old, and for the first time, I'm moving out on my own (well, with my best friend and her boyfriend) in about a month. Does anyone have any tips/hints/suggestions? Anything you didn't think about when you were getting ready to move? Just basically looking to find out what to expect! Thanks a ton for any help! :)

My family and I might move in to the neighborhood right across the street and we might build a house on some land in the country. There are a couple of metal buildings right down a hill from the house site. ( Not a big hill or anything.) I was thinking about if we buy the land we could make one of the metal buildings liveable and turn it into a little apartment and I could live in it when I'm 16 or 17. (Right now I'm 13.) Do you think that would be a good idea? I do get scared easily at night. ( I'll grow out of that, and that rarely happens, only when I start thinking about scary movies.) What do you think would be the right age to move into the apartment and what should I put in it. The apartment would have a bedroom, a living room, possibly a kitchenette (all three of those would be like one big room kinda.) It would also have a bathroom. Thank you to anyone who answers in advance! One last thing, are there any do's and don'ts someone could offer up.

I need to cut old roofing timbers into fire wood, chainsaw is out of the question. Handsaw is a little slow. I can't pull the nails out of the wood as it is oak and many have broken off.

Well I started hearing a gnawing noise yesterday morning and then again this morning. It lasts for about 5 minutes every day around 6:30 am. Well my room has a foam chair that isn't moved very often (and my bed) which are the only two things in my room not frequently moved. I rarely eat in my room and my dishes go out the same day they came in. Also there are no outside things that they can hide in that would attract them to our yard. For the four years we have been here we have never had a rat problem.
