One of the biggest problesm in the rains, i feel, is the dampness that pervades everywhere. Walls and cushions feel kind of cold and damp, books abd papers become soggy and everything smells musty. Is there some way to deal with this.
Also, wooden doors adn windows swell, making it very hard to use them.

Try keeping doors and windows shut when it is raining. Alos keep things dry as far as possible - avoid hanging wet clothes indoors to dry etc.
Keep packets of silica gel etc inside book cases or cupboards where you store thibgs that are likley to get affected by the moisture. Also, use an air freshener.

One of the boggest problms I face in the monsoon season is the sudden influx of house flies. They are all around the house and refuse to go.
they are never a problem on those days that are sunny, but if it is continiously raining, these flies make life mserable inside the house.

I live in a high rise down town in South Bombay and I have a unique problem of water seeping through my sliding windows. THey are double sliding windows and yet water finds its way in due to the wind action when it rains. Any suggestions people?

I don´ t think that would work but would give it a try. Are you talking about hard plastic sheets or the soft transparent sheets we use to cover books etc.

That´ s a pretty common problem in big cities where rainfall is heavy. In the rainy season, you could seal the entire windows with plastic sheets.

Home Decoration
We recently moved into a traditional colonial.All the woodwork is a medium oak and all the walls are white. We installed a southern “figured” maple floor in the dining room and kitchen. Do you have any ideas for colors that would tie in a very grainy oak (trim and cabinets) with the more contemporary light (cool-toned) maple floors? I also need help with a living room ... - Latesh Malik [View Message]
