My parents want a simple black and decker toaster oven like they used to be - no with the dials... they hate them. Why do all of them have dials now???

I notice while I'm driving that some of the trees and fence posts are painted with the color purple on them. Like a ring around the tree and just the top of the fence post. I was just wondering what the color signifies?

About 10 days ago, my wife and I went to Lowes and bought some Mum's. We took them home, put soil in a pot, dropped in the flowers and then added some more soil around the plant (the pot we used is kind of bottle necked and it was tough to add extra dirt/soil). It appeard that we were a little low on soil, so I used regular dirt from an empty lot to top off the pots. We put them on our covered porch and watered them and everything was great.

The next day we noticed that some of the flowers were wilting and now, about 10 days later, 1 of the two plants is completely wilted and the other is about 60% wilted.

How do I know if I added enough water or too little? My first impression was that I added to much, as the water spilled out of the hole in the bottom of th plant, but maybe it wasn't enough.

This is really our 1st time planting anything. How often and how much water should be used.
Are these things lost causes or is there still hope.

Any help/tips would be great!

How do you remove chewing gum that is stuck to either a painted wall/wallpaper without damaging the area? It has already created a grease mark, can this be removed?

Is there a type of insulation I can install that would be less noisy for the people living below me? It is a big concern of mine and I don't want to disrupt the people downstairs. Please help! Thanks! :)

Should I put an egg crate over it? I guess that might defeat the purpose of having the feather bed in the first place, ya know? Any advice would be great. Thank you!! :)

Can anyone help? My toilet started making bubbling noises the other day and the water gurgled - this wasn't a problem. Yesterday when I washed up it did it again but this time the water started to rise in the pan! It went down eventually but rose everytime I flushed. Then I thought the problem was solved until my partner had a bath today and it happened again. I have tried unblocking my mini drain covers and plunging the toilet but have had no luck. What does this mean is blocked the toilet or the drain? If so what can I do I can't afford to be callling out a plumber, are drain rods worth a go? I'm not really a DIY person so is it straight forward? If not anyone else have any suggestions or advice on what the problem is. Thank you

Is this true? I was told this recently but it hasn't seemed to happen to a plant I have. I periodically trim any leaves where the tips have turned brown and someone saw me doing it with metal scissors and said to use plastic scissors. True or False?

Where my fiancee and I are living the porch is like twenty years old. The landlord has accused us of driving in drunk and hitting the porch. We don't drink and drive and our landlord is threatening us with hiring some carpenters to come fix the porch and the sending us the bill. Can he actually do this? The boards were already splitting and curling up on the ends. And most of the nails are rusted. The porch has been there our landlord says for twenty years and has never been a problem with it before. What do I do?
