I just bought a house, and there is a streak of moss built up across my back porch roof, and it needs to be removed for insurance purposes.

I have some equipment that run on 3 phase 230 volts and the power company in my area said I had 120/208 3 phase electricity available at my location. How do I know if it will run my equipment? If it doesn't isn't there some kind of transformer that can be purchased to run the equipment? The engineer at the electric company couldn't answer my questions can anyone help me?

I have a medium sized room fridge and freezer combo. The freezer is on top and is working fine, my fridge is not getting cold anymore. It used to get so cold it would make ice out of my liquids. I have pulled out my fridge and thouroughly cleaned, dusted and vaccumed the back where the motor is and still nothing. I would like to try more to fix this myself, please someone give me suggestions. Thanks

Any ideas on how to install a wooden railing on an outdoor set of steps. There are 3 wooden steps which are unattached to the house and we need to put some kind of railing on them. The railing cannot be attached to the house because of frost heaving and I'm not sure the railing would be secure by just attaching it to the steps. Suggestions?

My husband bought me this huge bleeding heart hanging basket for Mothers day, since then, the inner leaves are turning yellow, the buds fall off before they bloom. I water it when it needs it. Its gets the first sun, until about 2pm. I really dont know what Im doing wrong here. Its still pretty, just not as thick as it was!

Should we spend the extra money and just get hardwood, or is pergo a good choice? We're having our 1st home built and need to save money, but want a few nice upgrades. Are either of these options worth it or should we just stick to tile and carpet??

We are looking at buying a house, but would need to alter the staircase. Currently, it is straight with a steep pitch, so we would want to make it half straight, then the other half a landing perpendicular.

I didn't want to mess with anything so dug up the area, sprayed it with Round Up and filled it with river rock. It looked good the first year. Now every year I spray the weeds and watch them die. The rest of my lawn is bright green and well kept and then there is my dead weed rock bed. I pull out the dead ones and start all over with the Round Up.
WHAT else can I do with it? It looks so terrible. I don't have the money to hire anyone. My daughter and I would have to do it with some family help. Thanks for any suggestions!!

I am a very clean person, however i live in a four-plex (upper level) and i have red ants in my bathroom and bedrooms. They aren't anywhere in my kitchen. I keep my bathroom clean and i have wiped it down with pine-sol and window cleaner. Still not working. Nothing is getting rid of these. I am 7 months pregnant, have a 5, 4, and 10 month old with two kitties. Are there any siggestions that i can do other than ant traps? I am afraid of poisoning. Someone mentioned Borax...is this true for working?
