This is what I'm dealing with. Also, here is the wiki.

Believe it or not, I almost moved to Portland a few years back! I have never been, but all the research I did on it made it seem like the place to be. Now that my mother is super sick, I won't be moving too far away for a while. I'd love to see Oregon though. I'd really like to move to...

Ha! You're hilarious. I love it. :rofl: I want a cat to hunt these buggers and run them off! My dogs only alert me to them, they won't kill them. I think they know better. I'm gonna put an ad out on craigslist as follows: "Looking for the meanest kitty EVER! Does your cat scratch and attack...

Welcome from another almost-Austinite!

As for the AC, so mean check the inside blades and see if theres leaves and debris in there? I dont REMEMBER the scorpions, but i know of their music. :D Seriously though... Im even considering getting a cat and im allergic to them. I will remove the trap tonight. No coat hangers! PROMISE...

If you are doing any kind of electrical work, you need to turn the breaker for that circuit OFF. Always. No exceptions to this rule. Why? Because you don't know if it's grounded properly. You also do not know if it is being back-fed by another circuit. What if that switch you turn off, doesn't...

:eek: Really, dude? I do a lot of electrical work for my father who is a MASTER ELECTRICIAN. You should ALWAYS turn the breaker off. No exceptions.

I got my electric bill :eek: and I am NOT pleased. When I moved into my new-to-me house, I had an issue with the place not cooling below 81* until it got dark. Well, I resealed the duct work down below and the AC seemed to work fine for a bit. Now it won't cool past 87*!!! I cannot bear this...

How do I kill them? They are driving me insane. I have a 9 month old I can't take my eye off of for a second because of these buggers. One sting can kill a baby, did you know that? I've caulked all my baseboards. I've caulked my ceilings around fans and lights. They are mainly in my...

I live in an older house and just had all the AC duct redone under the house. It now cools much better than before. I'd like to buy a new wall thermostat that I could program to come on at a certain time and turn off later. I've seen Honeywell and Lux on some other sites. Just wondering what...

you could do this... YouTube - ‪DIY Home Made Steam Room‬‏ Kidding. I think this is a good idea. I used to vacation a lot in Colorado. Good climate for this kind of project I think.

I found a pretty good slideshow on Reader's Digest. Read the whole article by clicking here.

Summer is upon us, which means backyard barbecues and dips in the pool. For home buyers with a few million to plunk down, some high-end homes offer a lot more in the backyard than a patch of grass and a kiddie pool. Perusing dozens of impressive properties, we compiled a list of for sale...

teabags are good for staining and giving a darker look. take the mirror out of the frame and take an old chain to it. scratch it up a bit, THEN tea bag stain those scratches. I saw it on a design show once. looked great. They did it to a dresser to 'antique' it. :cool:

haha. Thanks oldog! I will be taking a ton of before pics! I suspect they will be up later in the week. :]
