In a series of unfortunate events I manged to spill a small amount of aquarium gravel down the side of my sink with the garbage disposal. Ever since then my garbage disposal has been broken.

When you turn it on the "blades" dont spin, though they do move about freely when you (dont try this at home kids) stick your arm down in there to dislodge the rocks that used to keep that side of the sink from draining. I've managed to remove all of the rocks that I can and I cant feel anymore down in there now. So its able to drain again for the time being.

It wont do anything except emanate a faint buzzing sound when you turn it on.

Are garbage disposals fairly complicated or is it something the average (or above average?) can work out and make sense of?

Is it likely my husband could work on it? Or are garbage disposals just one of those things you have to leave up to the professionals? Despite the way it may sound my husband and I are quite clever! ;)

Thanks!

I'm planning on doing a lot of framing and wonder if I can use my clipped-head nailer or should I buy a Round-Head one. What are code inspectors saying about clipped nails and can or should I use them.

It looks normal, but sometimes when I turn on my washing machine, a breaker "pop" after a time and then, washing machine and refrigerator turns off, it has a 15 on it. And always is the same.
What can it be ?.

I am planning to paint but due to budget, this time I may try a cheaper paint from home depot ($18 per Galon) rather than what I used to use CIL ($28 per Galon). Does it really matter? because I have whole house interior to paint for 2 coats, the cheaper paint can save me about $500 in total. Your advice please

Are they in good working order? Do you keep them clean? Do you lend them out to others?
