• Have you ever had a mouse in your house?

  asked by a SkinnyScoop member in Housekeeping, 13 responses

  A SkinnyScoop member commented: We first got a mouse in our house a few years ago at our other house. I was disgusted and more than a little freaked out. We called an exterminator who admitted he couldn't do much but set traps. So we skipped that cost and set traps ourselves. It was sad but it worked. We just had another field mouse in our new house. Caught the little guy within a day or so of first seeing him using one of those sticky traps. I was so sad but it was the easiest way to catch him. Interested if people have other ideas or ways to catch them and put them outside.

  asked by a SkinnyScoop member in Green Living, 65 responses

• What kitchen surface do you prefer?

  asked by a SkinnyScoop member in Decorating, 17 responses

  A SkinnyScoop member commented: Whatever is easiest to clean. In fact, a self-cleaning surface is the one I prefer. Let me know when you find one of those.

• What's the most important feature of the home?

  asked by a SkinnyScoop member in Decorating, 23 responses

  A SkinnyScoop member commented: I think all of these are important but certainly the starter (or non-starter) when we looked for our last new home was number of bedrooms. It could have a gorgeous master bedroom or kitchen, but without 4-5 bedrooms it wasn't going to work for our family. Plus you can always fix up a master bedroom or kitchen.
