It's gotten cold outside and I want to bring these plants indoors. They're pansies from a local nursery. What do I have to do to keep them growing and healthy? Thanks for the advice.

As per up to date electrical regulations, there is an earth connection from my fuse box to a nearby gas pipe, secured with a metal screw-on clip with 'DO NOT REMOVE' tag. Unfortunately, the screw was positioned so that its head sticks out and is in the way of a wall to ceiling cupboard I am installing to cover the area. I need to turn this connection through 90 degrees on the gas pipe so that the screw head points side-on or away. In terms of safety, how do I do this? The screw will need to be loosened so the whole clip can be turned. Whilst it is loosened, there is no guarantee the connection won't be broken for a split second. Obviously I want to avoid getting an electrician out for something that may be very simple. Thanks

We have seen solid granite and granite w/acrylic blend sinks in stores. The prices seem to be a bit more for solid granite, but not too bad.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of granite sinks vs the normal stainless steel ones?

I have a hanging lamp which I am trying to replace. However I cannot figure out how to take off the glass cover part. It's composed of a wire hanging down from the ceiling leading to a round metal cover. This then combines with a hollow glass bowl which somehow twists into the metal top. I have two of these and one I can somehow open, which reveals that inside the metal lid there's a metal bar which snaps onto the glass bowl (lift the glass part on one end and it pops right out). However I can't seem to open the other one. Any ideas?

I am 13 and need to make some money. I am going to rake some yards in the neighborhood, but I don't know how much to charge. I am only allowed to do front yards for safety reasons. I was thinking $ 15 a yard, but I really have no idea.

The drum on the inside of my washer is stained blue and dont know how to remove the stain. It is from a pair of new blue jeans that were washed in my washer by one of my sons friends. It looks sort of like blue dye in the inside of my machine which is white in color.

I have a 3300 square foot house. It has two masters, one which is our guest room. We have a kitchen, breakfast nook, large living room, formal dining room, study, half bath, two full baths, fitness room, and laundry that we use on a continual basis. I work full time and am taking an online course. My husband also works full time and refuses to help me clean up, yet he does not pick up after himself. We have no children yet. How do I keep this house clean and get some sleep at night as well?
