I can't water it early in the morning because i have to leave for work really early. We just bought this house and people before us did not take the best care of the lawn. In a few places grass is either thin or excessively dry. Is there anything i can apply to the grass to make it less dry now, in the middle of hot summer? In case it matters, we live in New Jersey.

I bought a new pump for an above ground pool and the hose size is different so I need to connect a 1 & 1/4 inch hose to a 1 & 1/2 inch hose and have it be air/water tight. Any suggestions...the guys and home depot were no help.

Isn't there a special cleaner with a name that starts with the letter "O" that is recommended? I have several old hankerchiefs that I want to sanitize and use as trim on bed linens.

I just bought a 8-room 1,788 square foot colonial house that has old wiring and fuses in it. The inspector said I need to update the wiring and replace the fuse boxes with breaker switches. Before I call an electrician, I would like to have a ballpark figure on about how much this should cost. Any homeowners who have been through this, please help. Thank you.

My dishwasher, disposal and stove all need to be replaced. I have never owned a manufactured home before and I don't know if I can just buy from a store like Lowes or if I have to go through a manufactured home dealer.

If money was no object - and the people you lived with didn't have a say - what piece/type of art would you display in your living room and why?

I'd have a copper rocking horse because I think it would have a lot of character and probably be very tactile.

I saw somewhere a country french kitchen that had alot of black accents and twall (may not have spelled right) fabric. They also used french sayings on the wall and roosters. I am trying to do this in my kitchen and have looked on Yahoo and Google search engines for examples of this style and have not found what I am looking for. I am not remodleing my kitchen, just restyling it. I have painted the walls and cabinets and now am looking for additional decorating ideas. Anyone got any ideas for this style I am looking for?

I was told it was best not to as the paint will flake off and will require annual painting.
