We are going to hold a yard sale on Saturday and I really don't know what price to place on items.
Clothes.
Books.
Shelves.
Vases.
Kitchen gadgets

What is a fair price and should I have a sticky label on things with a set price?

I don't want to just blacktop over them, because it's a very long driveway and we don't like the look of blacktop coating.

I've already tried bleach and TSP, neither to any effect.

Would powerwashing help at all? Are there any special organic treatments I might try that can dissolve the carbon deposits??

I just purchased one of those polyurethane memory foam mattress pads, but when I took it out of the package, I noticed that the polyurethane smell was horribly strong. Still, I slept on it, and now all my bedding and mattress (and frankly, my room!) smell like polyurethane to the point I need to rewash everything and not use the memory foam right now. Any clues as to how to get that awful "paint-like" smell to disappear from my memory foam mattress pad? If not, any idea how long until that smell coming from the memory foam will last? Will it go away on its own? I would really love to be able to use it again. I paid some money for it and it really is comfortable.

I need help building a large cement "trough" of sorts which will hold water for a very large papyrus plant that is currently taking over my pond. The trough will be approximately 6 feet long by 3 feet wide by about 3 feet tall. I have purchased cement and already have chicken wire for support. My question is what is the best way to get it to retain water without using a product which will be detrimental to my papyrus. Is this something I even need to worry about since I have plants that I water daily right next to the location this will go to and I can just top off what is missing every morning when I water. Any input is welcome and appreciated! Thanks!

I live on the third floor of an appartment building. And we have thus far found 6 earwigs on our balconey. We have spread some 100% natural earwig killer around the edges of the balconey, but i want to know if there is anything else i can do to keep them away. I have a 4 month old baby and i am VERY afraid of bugs (im a wimp lol) I am most afraid of earwigs.

Does anyone have any natural home repelants that i may just have laying around my house that will keep earwigs away or kill them?

Thanks in advance.

Does anyone have TREX decking installed? Was it that expensive and is it worth it?

The owner has made contact a couple of times to say he can't take it back during these 23yrs, but does now wants it back. Apart from the fact that he has never thanked us for keeping it for him, I would like to know where we stand out of interest. Can anyone help? Thank you

We Just got a small AC unit to put in our window. our original set up was having 1 box fan one OLD *** WW2 fan and some other smaller fan running to "cool" the house.

My question is do you think it is more expensive or run an AC in one small room only a few hours a day

or is it more expensive to run the fans allday and all night.

thankx in advance.

Im only wondering because the person we sublet from said it would be way way more expensive.

I just moved to southern CA and want to store my winter jackets in my garage. I will be placing them in a plastic container and putting them on a shelf. Do I need to put mothballs or cedar chips in the plastic container to keep mice away? Or is there something else i should do? I want to make sure they don’t make a nest in my winter jackets.

I say garden but really it's a tiny (2 meters by 3 meters) cobbled courtyard. It's walled off and has plants round the perimeter, mostly year long greens, ivy and some seasonal flowers.
There's a small fountain in the wall which has fresh water.

Now I put out bread every day and get the most adorable little birds, I'd love to do more (am a sucker for animals) so is there anything else? Do I have to wait till winter for balls of seeds?

My husband and I have gone round and round on this for 10 yrs! Silly- I know, but if this is one of our biggest disagreements, we are in pretty good shape! I say the printed side faces down so that when you get in bed, you have both printed sides facing your body- top and bottom. My husband thinks that both the fitted and flat sheets printed sides should face up towards the ceiling so that the wrong side of the top sheet is facing your body. Can anyone help?

1. Went in looking for 4 bags of weed and feed, the pallet had 3 bags remaining and the guy just before me bought two of them (will be restocked in two weeks).

2. Went in looking for 7 sheets of 3/8" plywood, the pallet on the floor had 3 sheets left (the damaged ones everyone picked through), and non up above on the rack.

3. Went in looking for 5/gallon pails of deck stain for $115.00/each. They didn't have the 5/gallon pails and tried to sell me (5) 1/gallon pails for $28.00.

4. I waited 25 minutes for a "flooring" specialist before I tore the customer service desk a new one for someone never showing up in the first place.

5. I love the fact that when you need help, there are only 5 semi-trained employees hiding somewhere in the store, and when you do find one, their on the phone with someone like Ty Pennington.

Humor me and convince me these are not isolated incidents. Maybe the store by my house employs the bottom 10th the HomeDepot Univeristy graduating class.

We bought a showerhead that's great, but it doesn't adjust for height or space. It sprays too high for me, but great for my husband.
The previous (already installed) standard showerhead moved in several directions so we could adjust the showerhead spray.
I don't want a handheld, just a showerhead that moves/swivels/adjusts. I've been searching for one online but can't find a single one that describes one that can adjust. After all, people don't take a shower in one position only, do they?
