2 questions
1. My furnance currently has two 1" pleated filters in it. Is this less effecient than getting a single 2" filter. Can I just put one 1" filter in and leave a gap?

2. My air condioner has a lot of condensation and dripping water on my outside unit, typically where you will see an air condioner with low freeon freeze up. Its not frozen, but is it something to be worried about, should it be insillated?

It is brown, 100% polyester, and says "dry clean only." This is going to sound gross, but the gown was tight around my armpit area so now there are white marks and a bit of a smell left. Any way to get it off? :/ It was $70 bucks and so pretty.

why is it that when I finish building a piece of furniture from Ikea, I always end up with one piece that doesn't fit anywhere. why is that? does that often happen to you? do you ever keep the Mystery Piece "just in case"?

I'm trying to move a big silver canister midway up an electric pole in my backyard. Is it possible to move this to a pole about 75' down. If so, is this something I can attempt myself (trying to save money)

I'm talking about the mechanism that refills the tank after you flush, but then stops once the water reaches a certain level. It had been working fine, but now it will try and refill the tank non-stop. The buoy mechanism that should stop the water doesn't seem to be working.

They must have shut the apartment water off today, since I had one of those air bubbles in the pipes that makes the water fire out erratically in a sudden burst. I suspect this may have damaged the piece.

Is there any way I can fix that component without replacing it outright?

Okay so how do you hang a poster? Like on a door? Just a paper poster, it won't be framed or anything. When I was a little kid i just put tape on the back and like taped it to the door, but that would end up tearing it up if I wanted to move it. So is there anything you suggest I can do about hanging a poster?

Hi, I have a 3 ton outside A/C unit. When the air comes on the unit outside is making a horrendous high squealed squeaking noise. Sounds like the fan, is there a way to add some oil to it?

I have a beautiful Royal Purple smoke tree in my yard. It has a rock and slate path that constantly grows weeds next to it. I bought some weed killer a sprayed it on the path to get rid of the weeds but now all of the foliage on that side of the tree is dieing! It was a spectacularly dumb move on my part....is there something I can do to fix it?? Is my poor tree doomed??

I have grown tomatoes in six big containers (about 12" dia) in my garden which are now ready to come out. I have a fairly sheltered south facing garden but no beds- only containers. I've managed peppers, chillies, aubergines and tomatoes this summer, but what can I sow now to enjoy over the autumn/winter?

I'd like to grow from seed if at all possible.

Thanks for your help- P.S. I'm in South Wales.

I'm not a plant person so i'll try and describe this as best as possible. the leaves look like lily pads - they're green on top and have a reddish color on the bottom. each stem has only one leaf. I have seen small white flowers on this plant, but the flowers are sooooo delicate, the pedals fall off with the slightest touch. I hope this helps... can anyone tell me what this is and is it poisonious?
