I'm preparing an area for a small vegetable/herb/flower garden and was wondering what I could do to keep out the neighborhood cats. A bigger problem for me (I think) is going to be keeping our male...

j9brennan - thanks for the answer. It would make me nervous, too, to see someone taking pictures of my house so you reconfirmed for me. Thanks again!

These look so cool and refreshing and seemingly have a very practical purpose (keeping the wasps away), and if our next house has a porch I'm definately going to do this. I have a ques...

Normally I have fabulous luck on a Friday the 13, but it deserted me yesterday.

I'm using similar colors in my house. It's nice how they can look gray in some light, green in other, and the different color reflections highlight some of my accessories differently - I have a pho...

I dearly feel for you! I spent an enormous amount of time agonizing over colors to paint my apartment. Then, I got married and figured I'd just bring my color scheme into my husband's house (which ...

I'm just curious - why does most everyone here dislike window blinds so much?

Humm... I must be woefully out of step with a good number of the people here since, with the exception of the carpet, the florescent light fixture over the mirror, and the hanging light, I like the...

Location: Morro Bay or Pismo Abode: anything, including our cranky tent-trailer

My husband had replaced a number of light bulbs with CFL's before I moved in - in the bathroom (where we have yet to replace the original over-the-mirror light bar), the light is so glaring that I ...

Question for the people who leave brushes and rollers out but wrapped: Does room/air temp matter? I've always put them in the fridge, but it would be so much easier to leave them out. Our temps hav...

Since this is a college dorm room, lets not forget that Taylor's probably pretty young. Not everyone is born with a sense of style (my best friend was, I definately wasn't!), and I'll bet that a go...

Too many encounters, no more patience. Any and all critters are more than welcome to live anywhere outside my 1000 sq. ft. Inside, they are dealt with quickly, with whatever is handy. ...

LegsBattaglia: .75 or 3/4 bath includes a sink, commode, and stall shower, where a full bath has a tub or tub/shower combo.

Thanks for posting this. My husband and I have lately been discussing the possibility of selling everything and going mobile when he retires. Last week we looked at a 5th wheel that felt as large a...

My grandparents passed on withing 3 months of each other, and both have come back to 'visit'. One time, when I was living in their house with my 1 year old son (just the 2 of us), I'd...

Goes right along with the Fish 'n Flush toilet tank aquarium... http://www.fishnflush.com/photogallery.asp

Unfortunately, the "getto bird" is a weekly occurance in my neighborhood. The first time (very shortly after I moved in) they began circling and spotlighting 4 houses down, I sat looking out the wi...

Oh how I need this!! Thanks Sara Kate!!

I made the pork chops with mushroom 'gravy' from the back of the Campbell's soup can and both hubby and son raved. I actually had a cookbook that was a collection of recipes from the ...
