my frig is a side by side with freezer. It's not making ice. It's running enough to keep the stuff very cold but not frozen. Could it be the motor or any ideas.

We purchased a bank owned property. When replacing outlets we discovered that all of the lines in the house are on two circuits and the breaker box is a mess. As we remodel rooms we are redoing the lines and outlets, but we are finding out that we need more space. We are considering placing a breaker box on the second floor to help eliminate the need to run to the basement if something happens.

Is it possible to run the 220 line up to the second story and how difficult is this? You can fish all wiring from the basement through the walls straight up to the attic. My father-in-law worked with electrical lines and telephone lines for years. I am just getting an idea for the magnitude of the project!

I just bought a used portable dishwasher, and I don't think the hose will hook up to my faucet. Are there attachments you can get for it, or will I have to get a new faucet?

Also it had to set outside under a tarp for a couple of days and little water bugs got up inside of it, and I was also wondering if I would mess up anything if I used some bug spray and sprayed into the back of it where the hoses come out of, that is where the buggies are coming back out of.

Months ago I'd asked how to go about starting an avacado seed, to grow a tree. I received varrious answers but the one that was the best was plant them in the dirt or something to that effect. Well, I threw 8 or 9 seeds in a big planter with cantaloupe seed- more for fertilizer than anything- and now I have 2 avacado trees about 4 inches tall. Now I need to know when and how do I go about transplanting them? I've heard to do it at night- oh he&@, I've heard a lot of ways, so some real good advice from some real good people here would be nice. And for that guy who said put'em in the dirt, if you're reading this, your way is/was the only one that worked. I thank you
