Can I run the drain to the washing machine drain? (the basement bathroom is adjacent to the laundry room.) If so, how much slope do I need in the drain? I'm hoping to not have to pay a plumber just to come over and give me an estimate and tell me how we can do it.

Thanks!!!

I planted them 3 weeks ago after our first frost, we had a bit of rain and now I see they're about 2 -3 inches tall. Will they survive their first winter and still come up in the spring?

Help! I have a Dirt Devil Swivil Upright vacuum cleaner, only had it for six mos. now and bought it brand new. I noticed yesterday that it wasn't picking up at all. I pulled the hand held hose out to check and sure enough there is no suction what so ever! I checked to make sure there were no clogs or anything that had stopped it up, I also checked the belt and the bag was just replaced a couple days ago, it was practically empty. It sounds fine, there is just no suction. Any ideas? I just can't get a new vacuum right now. Thanks in advance!

I am fitting new glass to a garage window and want to include an outlet for a tumble drier. The tumble drier hose has a diameter of 100mm and I need to know whether the hole in the glass has to be any bigger than that.

I have tiled my bathroom with matt white ceramic wall tiles and they seem to have absorbed the adhesive that is securing them to the wall. The tiles now have a patchy effect. I have used an adhesive that is suitable for ceramic wall tiles and have allowed time for this patching to dry out (2 days). What have I done wrong?

For the past year my codium has been producing unusual growth on 1/3 of it branches. The stem gets about 5cm X 1cm wide. the tips have multiple but dwarfed nodes and leaf buds all over them.

I noticed some small brown insects that resemble ticks(like dog or cattle ticks but smaller) attached to the plant.

I have never seen this insect before. I know a lot about scales, mealy bugs and other plant bests but wouldn't have a clue what these are
