We bought our house new about 4.5 years ago. All the appliances are black, but the kitchen sink was the shallow contractor grade steel one. So we bought a nice Thermocast black sink from Home Depot. Within a few weeks the glossy shine was gone on the interior portion of the sink. The upper...

The smell comes and goes. Most of the time you can't smell it until you run some water down the drain. It isn't coming from the hot water heater either. Is there some sort of better trap I can put in or anything like that?

If my lawn looks healthy, is a nice dark green, do I need to seed it every year? I'll put down a winterizer, but I usually don't even core it. I see my neighbors doing core aeration and seeding and feeding every fall, is this needed?

I've been checking into manufactured homes. Not mobile homes, or "modulars", but homes that are custom built in a building, then delivered in pieces and assembled. Here are the key selling points, could somebody comment on each? 1. 2x6 exterior wall construction 2. Very little exposure to...

Does anybody have a Windows Media Center remote that they don't use? I'm building an HTPC for my mother in law, and I need a remote. It would have to come with the IR receiver, as the computer I'm using doesn't have one built in. Just checking, as lots of people bought computers with Vista...

Can anybody comment on this product for me? How energy efficient is it? I've got a spare bedroom in my basement (about 12x20) that doesn't have any HVAC ductwork and it gets pretty cold in the winter. I've been using ceramic heaters and I'm looking for something safer, more efficient, and...

Are B&D cordless power tools any good? I just got the 18v trimmer and blower (because they are pretty much the only ones at Home Depot) and wondered if I should expand my cordless tools selection with B&D to simplify things with a common battery. Thanks

We have stone that goes around our front door. I'm not sure how thick it is. Each fall my wife asks me to hang a wreath on it and each year I rig something up with wire or cables and some hooks. I'm looking for a more permanent option. Perhaps a small hole on the top of a stone that I can...

What can I do to get rid of a foul smell coming from our garbage disposal?

I know that they will be frowned on by true carpenters, but for somebody that does a couple of small projects each year, are B&D power tools OK? I have a 12 volt cordless drill and I just bought an 18v trimmer and blower. I have an 18v Ryobi cordless drill already, but I'd like to stick with...
