It's been there for a good few months now. I've tried everything I can think of to get it out!

Why is it that people like to complain about things in their like but never do anything to change it? Shouldn't we stop complaining and DIY?

Does ANYBODY know the history of this once-famous washing machine company?:when did it go out of business?...who took over the company?...why was it so popular w/ Look magazine(and other magazines)???...

NO sexually explicit answers WILL be accepted/tolerated AT ALL!!!...and I'm serious!

This is about a washing machine company, NOT about your sex lives!!!...

Thanks for your cooperation!

Just had solid oak wood floor put down, but its got several creaky patches. The guy who installed it seemed very thorough - took up and then refixed the floorboards first to ensure firm foundation for wood floor....then put down underlay.

Is creaking to be expected? Any remedies?

I am looking in to purchasing a fire safe for my home. What I do wonder though is, where is the best/ safest place to put the safe within the home? I have two stories in my house if that makes a difference.

Thank you!

I am removing a small room divider to unite two rooms. The house was built in 62. There is only an empty attic above and it is a one floor house. I can modify the partition to reinforce it on top but dont know how. This way I could cut away the studs and have the expanded room. Any expertise would be appreciated.

norman7774, I'm sorry you feel that way. I'm not from N.O. I'm from St. Bernard LA. I know the people running the whole dam thing, are not living in FEMA Trailer with their families. But I am. and I don't support Nagin either. I owned my home and it was paid for. I was told we didn't need flood insurance. You see I never asked for anything in my life. We lost everything we work hard for the last 15 years and I am unable to replace what We once had.

My hotpoint aquarius wma 35 will do a wash cycle, and drain but will not kick in to do the spin.
I think it may be a block filter, but do not know where it is. (had exact same problem before and ex husband fixed it, did not see what he was doing).
Any advice would be much appreciated.

I thought the lightbulb blew, so I tried changing the bulb, but that didn't work...tested the bulbs and they were fine. Figured out that our computer is on the same circuit and it isn't turning on either. Changed the fuses but it is still not resolving the issue. Does anyone out there know what else might be causing the lack of power?

Theoretically if the air conditioner is not leaking gas, does it still requires refilling? If so how often should it be refilled if used every night? I asked because every 1-2 year my air conditioner would start to leak water and become not cold anymore. Every time the A/C technician comes, he always wants to refill the refrigerant gas and charge extra for it. So my question is, what is the typical lifespan of the gas and if it requires constant refilling, how often a normal situation would be? I believe that my problem is caused by blockage causing water leakage and preventing the air from becoming cold. And if it’s really a leakage, then he should have offered to get the leak repaired and not simply recharging it every time he comes. So why does he always wants to refill something that isn’t the problem? Is he being playing some unethical trick at his clients? By the way, I’m living in a tropical high humidity climate, so if that means anything…

How about any fruit trees? Or vegetables. I'm not talking about a greenhouse. Fresh produce is very expensive here.
