I'm going to have to hang something on the walls in my room and the living room to block noise in a badly made mobile home. What's the best way to hang them? My solution is nails, but my dad really doesn't want holes in the walls. What are some other options? Thanks.

Some heated pools I swim in are actually quite cold, and others nicely warm. What is the average temperature of heated pools in your homes, or in hotels? Please do not include jacuzzis, spas, etc.

They shared a room and now since we built a new house, they each have their own bedrooms and we wanted to think of a different theme for each son. Any ideas are welcome!

I won a bronze dolphin at Sea World's Floridaze in 1998. I admit that I didn't really take great care of it until the last year or so.

How often should I wax it to keep Rust and other evils at bay?

I have an Ariens 927 riding mower for my 1.5 acre yard and I'm afraid I have broken it! At first the engine wouldn't start, so I tried to jumpstart it and it would start but die again real quick. Then I checked the engine oil and it was low... I totally overfilled it! When I (jump)started the engine this time it spit out oil from the air filter! I siphoned out the excess oil. I could't find the oil drain plug. I found a screw on the other side of the engine but that let out gasoline (I think!). Probably my worst mistake was tipping it on its service bar to look under it - because now when I (jump)start the engine it doesn't even turnover and there's this swooshing liquid sound in the carb. Could it be gas? I also looked in the battery and one part looked dry so I added some distilled water. I don't think it leaked though. I feel real bad I think killed this engine and would appreciate any advice on how to fix it. I think I need to change the air filter and spark plugs right? Thanks!

I need to put up a pergola and can't decide which one to get. There are so many to choose from. I've been searching the web for about a week now and have narrowed it down to at least 3 sites. Which ever site gets the most votes will decide for me. If you are the firsts to vote for the winning site you get the ten points. Thanks for your info and your vote.

The only door hardware I can find fits a 2 and 3/8 or 2 3/4 backset, and my old door needs hardware with a 2 inch backset. I have looked all over the internet and I only find 2 places, both of which want a lot of money.
