  • I thought they were called chairs?

    Decorating & Remodeling - 8 hours ago

    Additional Details

    The computer says that I am "on a roll" but I'm sure it's my chair. It's one of those funny ones that you kneel on, with your knees on a pad and butt on a platform, but it's not a roll, for sure. Who's correct?

  • A very weird issue whenever I do my laundry?

    Cleaning & Laundry - 9 hours ago

    Additional Details

    I have been doing my own laundry my laundry since I was about 14 and ever since then I have always had problems. I do the laundry the same way everyone else in the house does and I wear normal clothes, but they continue to only happen to me. My shirts will have ridiculous bleach stains despite the fact that we do not even own bleach. I have done without detergent and this problem still happens. I've switched detergent a million times. What could it be? Then, today, when I pulled my laundry out, there were hundreds, maybe even thousands, of what looked like porcelain/glass/pottery shards in the bottom of my laundry. I do not own anything porcelain so there is no explanation for it. It got in my clothes, and seems to have disintegrated one of my shirts. Only one. Has anyone else ever experienced these issues?

  • Sump pump verus sewage pump.?

    Decorating & Remodeling - 11 hours ago

    Additional Details

    We have a septic field and a sump pump in our basement. When we purchased this home in Southern Maryland it had a roughed in 1/2 bathroom in the basement too. We are ready to finish it with a shower, toilet and vanity sink. I discovered that the other two bathrooms on the upper floors, go straight to the septic field and not into the sump pump. Presently the only thing that goes into the sump, that is the washing machine discharge. When the sump gets to capacity its pumped up and into a 4" pipe that by gravity is dumped into the septic field. Someone told me that I would need to change out the sump pump and purchase a sewage pump in its place because most sump pumps do not handle solid waste. Is this true?

    I love color, love to play with it, teach it etc. Did you know that sky blue and lavender are the only two colors that are never ending..............when you look into the sky you do not see the end of it and the same applies with lavender. (not purple) I did a lot of research before doing my bedroom in lavender and it is without a doubt the most successful space I have done. It's light airy, feels large but not cold. Lavender is a very special color to work with.
