I have a brand new FoodSaver with the canisters and sealing lids. Can I use the canister lid sealers on mason jars or do I have to buy separate sealers for the wide mouth and regular mouth mason jars? It came without the box and/or instructions.

I have a Poulan Pro 295 that needs a new carbeurator. I left it with this idiot of a repairman for 6 months and he kept telling me he could not find one. I'm going to search the internet thoroughly, but if anyone know a site where I can find one and maybe assembly tip I would be thankful

I bought my boyfriend a microfleece blanket (like the one I own), it is fluffy and wonderful. The only problem is that, unlike the one I own, the loose lint did not come off in the dryer. This blanket still leaves all other clothes and anything it touches covered in lint. He has washed and dried it twice, to no avail. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I am now renting a home that has a deck along with it. The wood has a dull gray coloring (faded). I was wondering how I could revitalize it so the color is back and how to best protect it in the future.

At one time, there were instructions on the internet on folding a tee shirt like they are folded in stores. I cannot remember where I saw those instructions now. Hope someone can direct me.

We have 10 can lights in our kitchen that uses floodlight style bulbs. We have matched the wattage of the bulbs with the receptacles. We buy floodlight bulbs rated for 2000 hours life compared to 750 hours life of a standard bulb. We try to be good about turning the lights off when not in use. Yet, it seems like the floodlight bulbs burn out much quicker than the standard bulbs. Anyone know why this is and how we can improve their lifetime?

a website to a pdf would suffice! Sure would save on a service call just to light the pilot light correctly without blowing anything or anyone up.
