My grandmother recently passed away. She has a solid oak trunk and a desk (both antique) at my aunt's house in Florida. These pieces are very special to me emotionally and could never be replaced. However I am a very poor graduate student! How can I best get them here (Tennessee) from there (Florida)?

We do not know the weight of these items but I know they are solid and will weigh a lot.

Waiting is not an option. If I don't get them now, I may never get them.

Thank you guys!!! :)

My husband has a huge collection of cds. Thing is, most of them are empty inside, so we're stuck with a bunch of empty cases! He usually copies them on his computer and who knows where it goes next. How should I organize all these empty cd cases?

Also, I'm having a hard time finding decorative attractive looking DVD stands. Any clues where to look?

And does anybody know where to get those magazine baskets, the kinds that hold like 50+? Or any baskets that hold lots of magazines?

I'm the queen of disorganization and we just moved into a really nice house. I don't want it to look ghetto with our clutter, nor do I want to shove everything in a closet! Please help!

Also, for little trinkets, old letters, trophies, souveneirs, old stuffed animals, etc., does anyone have a recommendation how to store these without me just shoving them in boxes? Thanks.

Every morning, I am the first to wake up and take a shower. Some mornings I have hot water, other mornings I have lukewarm water in which to begin my day. Could it be the water heater or our pipes? Any ideas?

We are a family of three including my husband, 12 month old, and myself. I'm looking for a small compost unit that is easy to maintain and can be kept in the kitchen. My plan for the compost is to dispose outside back in the woods to cut down on trash use and be more green. I've looked at the Bokashi system and a junior wormery. I have two cats as well and I'm concerned with the worms with them. What would be the easiest, provide the least compost for disposing outside, and best for the kitchen? Any other suggestions would be helpful. We're a single family income so I'm looking to not have to spend an extreme amout on monies. Thanks.

We have manage to get all of the tac strips up too but we still have to pull out all staples and trust me there are alot. Is there someway I can get stuff done faster that I dont know about. I really dont have any money in my buget to hire anyone and my mom and dad have helped me out. If you could let me know any ideas, any suggestion on how this could be faster process...please let me know.

used tampons down the toliet if you have city sewage?? I know not to flush them with a septic tank. My bf says he can't see why not, there is no way it is going to swell to be 4" which is the size of our pipe to the sewage. I know a friend who has for years, but I'm afraid of plugging everything up and having to call a plumber and have them find THAT!

Thats right !!! Our home was severly damaged in a flood 4 years ago and it WAS declared a disaster area. Fema gave us $800 for a footer and never went under the house. Then they said it qualified to be bought out and after 4 years of government runarounds and the roof collapsing and FEMA not coming up with any more money we had to sell it and take a $40,000 loss !!! We never got a credit card like Katrina victims or any other assistance. We had to evacuate the premises immediately on our dime with no help from the government and relocate. We have spent nearly $25,000 bucks in rent waiting on them to say we don't have the money yet to buy your 49,000 dollar home !!! A construction company had been really pestering us to buy it and we got fed up and sold it. Now we are looking at foreclosures and bank repo's and home auction websites, but people with more money than us keep outbidding us on homes that we see and like !!! GOOD LUCK TO NEW ORLEANS AND MINNESOTA !!! How do we get help ???

My ugly patio?
I need some ideas. We moved in and there was the concrete pad and some red pavers. We have since tried to spruce things up a bit, but the patio remains a problem. We are do-it-yourselfers (the yard was just dirt concrete and ugly pavers when we moved in) I have considered:

Pouring concrete: $800, plus ripping out old stuff

Putting in deck: $ ???, work, AZ is hard on wood I guess.

Laying flagstone: $ ??? but I think it would be at least $1500

Grass would die because of the shade. We are on attempt #3 of grass between patio and planter!

Pea gravel: $150?, easy, but my baby eats it, it isnt so pretty, and it hurts your feet. But, not out of the question.

Any ideas?
Check out my picture. Westfam.org Thanks!

They were bees that nested in the ground in a Michigan suburb, and one day I found them all dug up. No one in my family dug them up, and we think an animal might have done this, but we don't know what kind of animal or why. What really happened?
