I see professional ads that claim to restore your brick walls; how do they do it? Are chemicals involved? Power washers? Could it be done by a homeowner with a lot of patience?

Could a dishwasher be used to dispose of a body?

I had this pan with serious burnt-on deposits. I put it in the dishwasher. It came out shiny and new.

Made me wonder: what on earth goes on in there? What's in those little tablets? It must be sulphur and brimstone, sprayed around in the very fires of hell.

So if, hypothetically, I had a body to get rid of, would one go in the dishwasher do the job? Would it atomise and disappear down the drain, or would I have a nice clean white shiny skeleton for my next problem?

My Window AC Unit sounds like a fountain?

I'm wondering if my A/C unit is about to go out on the fritz... It seems to be cooling properly. However, it sounds like one of those claming fountains with trickling water, or a fish tank... There is no pooling of water inside the house. I'm just wondering if it's normal to be hearing that. If it's not normal, is there something I can do to fix it without having to call a repairman?

How do you cultivate a jicama?

My jicama sprouted before I could eat it and my curiosity and love of plants took over so I let it grow. I know it's a vine and is supposed to have showy flowers but I have no idea if I can keep it growing to the point of blooming. It has some big 3-part leaves and it's vining away (hope I have room) but the tuber/bulb is shrinking. I water it cautiously. Now what?

What does this symbol mean this Wiring Diagram?

For the wiring diagram on the LEFT SIDE what does the lines above "C" and "NC" mean? Does it mean a standard wire hooks these two areas together? Or some grounding terminology? But doesnt the "C" also connect to the "Live wire" (notice the "L" line below "C").
