Home & Garden - 9 November 2006

It is approx 8 years old. I've got no manual on it, it was here when we moved in.

When we push the button to start a wash cycle, you "hear" regular dish washer noise but you don't hear the usual sound of high pressure water splashing around. I've tried ALL different buttons and same results. I stopped it at mid cycle to peek
at the water level and see if the top rack "test dishes" were hot and wet but no just hot. There was a very shallow pool of water at the bottom.

I've checked for clogs in the holes on all the spray arms but they all look clear.

Now what? I just HATE to call in a repairman now, I'm unemployed and things are bad enough already.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

I have been charged with the duty of figuring out how much it will cost to have the roof on our condo repaired/replaced when this 4-year old one wears out. Does anyone have a rough estimate per sq. ft. for this job? Our roof is flat and has a silvery surface. There are no pebbles or shingles involved in it. I live in Chicago (if that makes any difference.)

There is a late night program that tell you what household products get rid of bugs. I want to know how to get rid of these ugly June beetles? Do anyone know what that product is or what's the name of the guy who shows the product demonstration with the bugs?

You know, the bird feeders with the huge pine comes that are slatherd with peanut butter and then rolled in bird seed. I want to make something like that but I don't have any of those big pine cones and was wondering if there is something else I can use??!! THANKS A BUNCH!

I need an 8 X 10 carpet remnant. I have priced a piece of shag that's perfect however the edges need binding? Has anyone done this before? Thanks.

The jacket my mother in law sent is a size 24 months, but he's a size 18. So, I'm hoping there's a way I can shrink it enough so it will fit him. It's really cute, and I'd hate for him to not be able to wear it. By the time he fits 24 months it will probably be too warm outside for a jacket. Any ideas?

It's 80%cotton
20% polyester

It also says the lining and trim is 100% cotton

I don't think I've ever saw a black house in real life. If ever own my own home, I'm gonna paint it black.

The toilet upstairs overflowed and leaked through the floor, flooding the basement. Thankfully we only have a small runner rug, and the floor is concrete, but the smell won't leave. I live down here and have to do something about it.

This summer we built a wood fence, using concrete at the base of our 4X4 pine beams. During the ensuing months, a few of the 4x4's have gotten long diagonal cracks in the them, some running in a jagged pattern from nearly top to bottom, mostly on one side of the beam. Should this concern us? Will the cracks keep going straight thru the 4X4's until they split in two?

we are thinking of getting our carpets dyed, only just found out that was possible. At the moment, they are a rose colour and we are thinking of a dark choc brown or a latte/coffee colour. Has anyone had it done, how did it turn out?

Or should I let it burn down? I am concerned that by pouring water on the fire, I create a lot of smoke and smell which hangs in the room for days. I am also worried that pouiring water could create more creosote in the chimney?
