DIY Gnat TrapsI have had a problem with gnats in the house and have used vinegar to trap them. Yesterday, I decided to put a bowl of vinegar outside to see how many I could catch. In just a few minutes, they were gathering on the edge of the bowl and drowning in the vinegar. I caught some house flies and yellow jackets as well.

Kenmore Fridge Not Cool Yet?I have a Kenmore fridge that hasn't been used in 3 years. I plugged it in last night around 7 and woke up today and it's still not cool. How long would it usually take after being unplugged that long. I bought it brand new 4 years ago and used it for a year before it was unplugged. So it's pretty new.
Identifying a Chair?I would like to refurbish this old chair and would like to know more about it. It is stamped on the inside with the word Italy and there is horse hair in the back and feathers in the seat. It has been reupholstered numerous times from what I can tell and I kind of think it may have be reconstructed from more than one chair, just a guess. I am leaning toward a highbred something like a French, Louis, Regency, Bergére, club something or other. What should I do and not do when refinishing it? Any type of fabric more suited for its kind and is it of any value once I am done? I thank anyone that can offer help on this. Kind wishes.
Identifying Black Jumping Flies?Over the last week, I have noticed these small black flies inside our house, mostly on the windows. I have tried just spraying them but they come back within a day. They tend to crawl or jump but can fly. Does anyone know what they are? I'm in the UK. Thank you!
