Bought 3 tins of Glidden Seed Pearl 3 months ago, and used a tin last night and realized it's a SLIGHTLY lighter color as a year ago. Got an old tin out , and number formulas are different. Took them back to homedepot, where I was told the numbers are different cos Glidden change their formulas every 10 yrs or so...even though they call it the same name...huh..sound right to you?

I don't know anything about bonsai trees except what I have seen online. My boyfriend has a Juniper Bonsai tree and the tree is almost brown. He has been fertilizing it and it is in a sunny area. He waters it when it needs watering. Now it's just getting to the point were I think it might be dead. How can I help fix the poor tree? I don't want to see it die. Plus we live in Nevada.

My husband and I just bought some property a couple months ago. It had a trailer on it that caught fire (blessing in disquise), but when we were going through the remains after the fire, I found at least 100 dollars in quarters. You can tell they are quarters, but some of them are pretty burnt. I tried cleaning them with viniger, acid, and oven cleaner. Nothing has really worked so far.

Does anyone know anything that might work to make them cleaner?

Hi,
I am thinking about putting up a tile backsplash. I was told by the company that sells the tin backsplash tiles that I should probably remove the ceramic tiles first. I have never removed a ceramic tile backsplash before. How hard is this to do? About how long will it take? Do you think I will damage the wallboard below. Just don't want to get in over my head. Any advice at all would be so appreciated!!!

What is the maximum size vent that can be used with a 40000 BTU water heater? We just got a high-efficiency boiler installed which vents directly thru the side-wall.

We also replaced the old 63000 BTU water heater with a new 40000 BTU model. The draft hood of the new water heater is only 3 inches in diameter. The new water heater is now the only thing that is venting thru the old 20 foot long venting pipe to the roof, which is 6 or 7 inches in diameter. Is this too big to vent properly? How difficult is it to install a smaller diameter liner into the old pipe?

I have a box with power coming into it. I have a 14-3 wire leaving that box. In the other box, I have 14-3 coming into it and 14-2 leading to the light. I also have 14-2 leaving the box to go to another switch to continue on that run. I have got the 3way switch to work, but I can't get power to leave the box and go to the other switch. Will someone walk me through and tell me where each wire should go. I have all my white's hooked together. I also have all my grounds hooked together. The trouble I am having is with the hot, commons and traveler wires and getting power to leave the second box. Thanks in advance for your response and help with this.

I'm selling my futon. The mattress is an ugly, faded green color, but the frame is good and painted black. Also, I'm selling it with a body pillow and two smaller pillows. How much would you pay for it?

I have an extremely tiny bathroom in my master bedroom. It only has a shower (no tub), one small counter that only has room for the sink, a medicine cabinet with 3 little shelves, and under the counter is a very limited space(the pipes take up the majority of space). and the toilet is cramped in between the counter and shower. my problem is that i don't know where to put my makeup, hair supplies, basic bathroom stuff. it is always messy and i was wondering if anyone knew anyway i could get it organized.
