I have noticed that the plunger is visible when it will not cycle to fire the next nail. I have taken the trigger mechanism apart and put in new o rings, it worked for awhile and then quit again. When you hold the trigger back and bump the safty on the front end it will not drive a nail. I have taken the back of it apart where the big diapham is and everything seems okay back there. The feed is okay on it. When the trigger is pulled and you bump the front end you can hear air in the chamber, but not loud like when it drives a nail. I uuse nails about 2 inches long and have the wire collets, again it is a coil nailer.

I am about to move into an apartment and I haven't seen any bugs but a friend of mine said sometimes they come out when people move back in. Is it worth it to bomb before I move in. Also, if I should bomb I am planning on painting and I want to know how long should I wait after I bomb to paint.

My neighbor just cut the leafy stalks of his irises down to about 6 inches. I've never had irises before, they came with the house. I don't even know what kind they are because I've never seen them bloom. Should I be cutting these things down or leaving them alone?

So I work in a small office and the amount of paper that gets wasted for random reasons was out of control... Anyways I decided to start recycling for the office and since there is no recycle thing here, I have been taking it home and putting it in our recycle bin...
We collect it in a regular kitchen trash can, but we cant put it in the bin with the trash bag... and its much easier, Soo does anyone know a company that makes recyleable plastic bags or some sort of trash bag I can collect everything in like the regular trash??

I caught my 4 year old hanging on the towel bar in the bathroom and unfortunately she ripped it out of the wall. I want to repair it but I'm not sure how and would like any info you can give me please. Also, if possible, I would like to make it strong enough to support the towel bar again so I don't have to move it. Thanks.

I have purchased some ballon shades and I did not received any instructions so your help is very important to me. On one of the shades there are strings attached with rings inside and on the other shade there is no string at all on them at all. Am I supposed to connect the two in some way, and if this is correct let me know how. I actually have three that I would like to go on to one window and any assistance you can give me would greatly be appreciated. I thank you so much in advance.

My family and I live in the country- right next to some grain bins, no less... and we are having a huge problem with mice... We use traps but it dosen't seem to be putting a dent in them. They're all moving in becuase it's so cold outside. I'm pregnant so I can't get a cat and I can't use poison because I have young children and a dog. I have heard that if you pack dryer sheets around clothes, towels, boxes, etc. that they like to chew into, they'll stop. What can I do? Are there any other regular household things I can do while I'm trying to get them with traps?! What brand (if it matters) of dryer sheets do I use?!

Just moved into a new apartment and our landlord told me that the dishwasher was new, but everytime I wash my silverware there's these little rust stains on them. Is it something with the dishwasher that is causing that?..or the type of silverware that I have?

I tried adding a little bit of clorox but that didn't help. I switched laundry detergent and that didn't help either, any suggestions would be really appreciated - especially if they work :-)

I had a medicine cabinet installed but there is no tooth brush holder inside the door. My sink is quite small and I don't like to put the tooth brushes there because they get knocked over. I also don't like the ones stuck on the wall. I have looked in Home Depot, K Mart , Wall Mart and can not find a holder that can be mounted inside the cabinet door. Does anyone know where I can find one? Thank you.

I am considering knocking a wall down between the kitchen and living area of my house. I have an older style house built in the 60's. How to I tell whether or not that it s a load bearing wall that would require more work to shore up? I have a tri-level house, but above the wall in question is only the roof.
