Other - Home & Garden - August 2007

Does anyone know of any "real" flea martets around central florida or west palm beach? Ive been trying to find a good one with no luck. And im NOT talking about the -indoor open 7 days a week, low grade mall with nothing but junk- kind! The authentic outdoor ones with antiques and furniture and such that come around on the weekend?
Thanks to anyone who can help me out, Im starting to assume those kind dont exist in FL....

Ive been to some in PA and NM and those are the kind im looking for : (

Yesterday i went to the haunted house in downtown sacramento. The adress is 2131 on H and 22nd street. We took 2 pictures at the same spot. Right before the second pic we heard a odd sudden noise and the picture came out with a white orb. The orb is said to come out of the window in pictures. Now i'm not much of ghost believer, but if any one has been to this house, i'd like to hear about any odd experiences.
if any one is interested in the house, i found a good website....

I don't know why but over the last month or so my bathroom has become home to a million spiders! I am petrified of them so I really want them out...I don't care how 'helpful' or 'harmless' they are, I want rid! I have had four in the bath and three running around the bathroom floor (not at the same time obviously, or I would have quite literally died of fright) There aren't any windows in the room so I'm guessing they are coming out of the plug hole (if possible) or the extractor fan What can i put down to get rid of them? I tried a crawling insect repellant, which got rid of them for a while, but it obviously wasn't permanent. I really don't want to save their lives or their feelings I just want the buggers dead and gone. Has anyone else had this problem?

Which countries around the world have lots of gardening centres?
There are certainly plenty in my native England, because there are so many keen gardeners. Where else would I expect to see garden centres, and gardens that the householders look after?

Spiders keep dropping from the ceiling onto my bed at night. They tend to land near my face which isn't cool. Last night one dropped on my bed just as I was about to sleep. WTF. I mean a spider on the floor is bad enough, but for them to be aiming for your face while you sleep. That's just wrong. What can I do to prevent spiders from dropping from my ceiling at night? Where are they coming from? Air duct?

*I'm not sure where to post this so it is posted in 2 different catergories.*
We have recently bought our first home which is quite old and needs a bit of work to make it liveable (due to the previous occupants being smokers and also they must of been high when they decorated lol)
On the outside wall next to the front door they painted the house number with what looks like normal white paint (emulsion?) This looks terrible and is so big a nice number plaque will not cover it.
My question is, is there any cheap and efficient way of removing this paint without risk of it smearing and looking worse? I don't fancy having to buy expensive chemicals in large amounts for a one off job.

She stated that every home she has sold in the neighborhood have all had termites. My neighborhood is only about 7 years old its still developing. I have never seen any termites around here and thought this was not sounding right. Is the guy she's using making this up? Hoping peple use him to treat for termites, because it has to be done to complete the sell. That would cost another $700.00 Any pointers on termites would be appreciated.

from a friend. As a whole, the set is beautiful but the 6 chairs were showing some wear, so I took some murphy oil soap and started washing the grime off. The "crud" kept coming and coming and coming so I kept cleaning.... then once they dried, I saw that where the "worn" areas were (where I had done the most rubbing) were bare wood, no finish at all. Anyway, I have only "cleaned" 2 of the 6 chairs.... any suggestions, I don't want to ruin anymore more chairs, if, in fact, I have ruined these. I used only a soft wash cloth and the diluted Murphy oil soap to end with these results... What have I done and how can I fix it???? Thanks a lot.

The previous owner of our house on North Brunswick, NJ gave us the pleasure of cleaning up a lot of stored trash behind the garage. It is like metal scraps, bricks, old mattress, etc. I am trying to rent one of those big dumpsters/containers but cannot seem to locate one. Anybody have any ideas. Again, I live in North Brunswick, New Jersey.

Thanks everyone.
