I find myself oddly drawn to Stack Overflow right now.

comment How can I prevent my house from smelling of smoke after having a fire in my fireplace?
@bcworkz. The cover for my fireplace has two glass doors, designed to be closed, with a grill at the bottom with vent holes that can be closed as well. I have no issue closing the flue but getting a good evacuation is apparently the key to removing the smoke smell. How can I do that? Is it truly a crap shoot with the proper extinguishing of expiring coals?

OK. So assuming the flue stays open to clear combustibles and smell, I wonder (aloud) if closing the glass doors and leaving the tiny vents open are enough to allow the circulation for air to rise out the chimney. What is going to move that air up and out once it's cooled?

I live in Minnesota, have city water, and no water softener, I'm not sure I would really recognize hard water without serious stains in my showers. I'm curious, how does the amount of water coming from under the rim affect flushing?

comment What's the best way to hang an unframed poster on a sloping wall without using something that will damage the poster?
@Zippy, yeah, if you have access to a big glass cutter then you can buy glass inexpensively in bulk and cut it yourself. Plexi is a little more money but safer. It's what I use for the mounted photos and posters in our home.

comment How do I stick paper on the wall in a stylish manner?
Do you have any more information about the type of "papers" and the wall itself?
