I'd love some advice in buying a new electric washer/dryer, am not especially fond of a front-load machine but saw a top-load washer w/ top load dryer with glass lids - kinda neat looking, but has anyone used them? I'd like a decent size machine, but not huge. I also prefer to buy from Lowe's although I'm not afraid to look elsewhere. thanks!!

Due to the recent heat wave, we've decided to install a swamp cooler (probably in our attic). Our house is almost 100 years old. We wanted to get a feel for the cost of a swamp cooler, before calling any contractors.

When the grass sticks to the underside of the mower deck, it makes the grass harder to mow and it is harder on the engine. Obviously, it is best to mow when the grass is dry, but sometimes that just isn't an option. So is there anything that a person can do to stop the grass from sticking to the blade and the underside of the deck? (besides the obvious answer of not mowing the grass when it's wet) I've heard that there might be a special paint that you can paint the underside of the deck with that wet grass won't stick to, but I don't have any details on that. Can someone help me?

Is there a cricket poison/repellant, whatever that I can use to get rid of these pests? Thanx for your input.

I just bought a house that has a drip system set up for all the plants. There are two large (~15' tall, ~6 year old) birch trees along the side yard. I noticed that they plugged up the drips for these two trees. They are in the flower bed right next to the lawn, but not actually on the lawn. They are not being directly watered. Is the water from the lawn good enough at this stage? Maybe because the roots are so deep? They look good, maybe a little thirsty (some leaves are kinda saggy), but I live in Sacramento and it's been over 100 for a while now. Thanks for the help!!

I have several pair of scrub pants. They are in great shape except that the drawstring broke. Does anyone know a good cost effective way to replace or repair this? Thanks

OK so it's hotter than the blazes. Our ac is two inches too big for our window, and we're on the second floor facing west so it's hot hot hot. We have about four fans in our living room, and how can we make it cooler? What's the magic combination? Is there any way we can not be melting in here?

Any info on building or building cost and what type of structure you are living in. I have looked at a couple of sites on the subject but I need to get some real life experience input. If you have encountered any issues with living underground I would like to hear those as well.
