I have two washing machines, hotpoint and kitchen aide. Within the last two weeks, both of them have done the exact same thing. When the spin/rinse cycles completes and the dial goes to the off position, the water comes back on and fills the tub and keeps running. I had extensive water damage 2 weeks ago that I have not finished repairing the ceiling yet (upstairs laundry room) Last night the first floor washer did the same thing and flooded the floors again. Someone HELP!! This is tooo weird.

The water shutoff valvue has a slow leak where the hose connects. Its right were the hose to the tank connects to the shutoff valve.....I also noticed when I close the shut off valve it doesnt stop the water completely. Does the whole setup need to be replaced, and if so, is it difficult? Or will just replacing the hose correct the leak?

I figured the constant running wasnt a huge deal if there was no leak because you leave the water on anyways, so there is always constant water pressure there.

my gardener hasnt been well. As I was clearing up I discovered a pile of jelly-like balls, about the size of frog-spawn (or that really large tapioca) in the middle of the lawn. There was about 2 large cupfulls and they were clear, dark-green colour. Any idea what on earth it could be? I live in Northern Ireland. Thought perhaps slugs but I read they lay up to 35 eggs underground at a time. There were hundreds of these jelly balls and they were on top of the grass !

I am restoring a home built in 1882 that has amazing wood trims and panels with about 20 coats of paint on them. The most recent coat of paint is only a few years old, but the layers underneath are much older and most likely contain lead. Is there a safe way to remove the paint if I can do it outdoors?

It doesn't do it every load so I definitely don't think its the water. We have changed detergents and it still does it every so often. Does anyone have any suggestions? Please help.

I was wondering if you can apply new wallpaper over old wall paper...really old wallpaper. I dont know anything about wallpapering and I just bought a house that has wallpaper in the stair well that leads to the second floor. I can see it from my living room and I want to put something fresh up.

I have had cilantro seeds in a single layer of tissue (at first like 8 layers) for three days and nothing has happened. How long does it take a seed to start growing? This is an experiment for my daughter so I don't want to disappoint her, but I don't want to wait forever either. Any ideas?

Water is stored on the roof of our condo in asbestos-containing cement tanks for 4-5 days before being used. Most do not drink the water, but use it for bathing, cooking, cleaning, etc. Can this water be harmful?
