My furnace was working fine yesterday, but right now the pilot light is out and it won't kick on at all. I have tried to light the pilot, and I know I'm doing it right (holding the button in for a minute and a half,etc.), but I don't even hear the gas coming out of the line. I have checked the electric breaker, and all is well. Any suggestions on what it might be....I have kids and it's starting to get cold...I need some serious answers please...Thank you,

I want to build a concrete patio and have a large pine tree. Can I cut the roots 2' to 3' away from the tree? I can see 3 big roots attached to the trunk and a big web of roots about 4' to 5' from the trunk. Woulf that jeoperdize the stability of the tree (30' high) or it has enough roots undergrouond to hold it still. I live in Souther California and the only winds we get is Santa Ana winds once a year.

My bf and I own a Moduline double wide mobile home from 1973. Does anybody have any idea where we might find the original floor plans for the home? We're sure it has undergone some massive renovations and we'd like to see what it was originally like.

I mean, it is crumbly, shatters easily. And for the bonus, how is it made?

I live in an old apartment building and I am still adjusting to having a gas oven. I want to clean the top of my stove, and using a rag and hot water doesn't seem to be doing the trick. All of my cleaning supplies (especially Scrubbing Bubbles, which is what I would normally use for the dried grease mess on top of my stove) say, "do not use near open flame." Although the top of the stove covers the flame, the stovetop is removable and there are airways that reach the pilot light flame. What is the best way to clean the stovetop--both the removable and non-removable parts--thoroughly? Thanks!

I noticed ice was building up on the frame of the freezer door. I ignored it and it eventually prevented the door from closing. I used a knife and a flat head to pick away at all the ice that built up. I removed all of it and now the door closes fully. It's slowly building up again.

I live in an apt complex and have had maintenance look at it several times, but it keeps doing the same thing. When the dishwasher is on, water comes up into the sink and it often smells pretty bad. Is something clogged, or what? I run the garbage disposal regularly, but it could be that, I guess. Would Draino help? It seems like I have tried that before. I'll accept any reasonable suggestions.

I have refinished an old Typewriter Desk. I'm using it as a computer desk. I have already stained it and now am ready to put polyurethane on it to protect it. In the past I have done this and had trouble with the polyurethane having bubbles in it. How should I apply polyurethane so I will not have that problem again. Thanks.

What are the name of the air fresheners that you plug into your electric outlets, that actually look like an outlet and are flush with the wall? I need to get them, because when I get the ones that stick out from the wall, my dog tries to eat them.

I installed new double glazing units 5 months ago. A huge crack has developed from one end to the other of a unit for no apparent reason. There has been no impact to the window and it only affects the inside glass. Could it be because the pane of glass was too big and left no expansion space and has cracked now that the central heating is on full blast??
