I poured over a gallon of Nature's Miracle on the spots and it doesn't seem to be helping.

The hammer took a chip out of one tile, the chip is about the size of a pencil eraser. I'm just heartbroken as we just had this tile installed 12 days ago! Is there any way to fix this- short of replacing the tile? I've already bought a rug that will cover the hole but I'd still like to fix it if I can. Just in case we ever would like to go without a rug. Thank you!!!

I read it in a book; that the electricity used with having the lights on will not cost any extra because the heat given off by the bulbs will balance out with the electric heat. It was an old book on home economies and was in question and answer format.

I have a Carrier 58ST gas heating furnace that came with the house four years ago. It's worked great until tonight. The furnace cycles up up until the point I believe the igniter coils usually light up. However, they never do. Just like the manual says in this situation, the unit cycles three times and then locks out. I flipped the breaker and unit power switch off and on, but same three cycles take place then it locks out. Considering the slight hazard, I didn't want to push my luck.

I talked to a tech at Frymire by phone and he agrees with me it's likely the ceramic igniter coil has cracked. It's not a part under warranty, though. It looks easy enough to replace, power plug and two nuts. This is my first house, so I'm getting broken in on this maintenance stuff...heh. Wouldn't mind some input on the diagnosis, though. Still not sure if it's possible to order such a part, but plan to check tomorrow. Fortunately, it's not going to freeze the rest of the week! Thanks

My landlord installed carpet on our outdoor porch. It's the kind with the smallest type of brisles. We have a white dog who is shedding a lot and the carpet is full of hair that we cannot remove by simply vacuming. Is there a way to remove pet hair from carpet? Do you know of any powders or carpet sprays that will work? Thanks!

We like a very clean, simple look, but are trying to get the wow factor out of the custom cabinets we are having built. The appliances are stainless still and the faucet is going to be brushed nickel. The floor in the kitchen will be a medium color wood. There are 6 windows in the kitchen, so the kitchen getting dark will not be a problem. Any help if this will look good or any other ideas of a different color granite would help.

It's growing in the corner where there's a good supply of fresh water and ceiling timbers and plasterboard. It's a sort of bracket fungi, flower shaped, light brown with a creamy edge to it and the biggest one is around 3inches round.

For people who have a company come and mow their lawns, when do you schedule the service for the next year? If you could tell me the month or range of weeks where you try to schedule your lawn guy for next year this would be very helpful. If you could also include where in the country you live that would be great too. Thanks!! (I am trying to find out when I should be talking to potential customers, because I am starting a new lawn care buisness)

Thanks Again!!!!

My Toilet keeps on getting cloged up.. I have to plunger it at least 4 times a day. What can I do? Should I call a plumber or should I call my landlord to fix this or is there a way to fix it myself? It doesn't overflow but it is backed up and after plungering the water goes down but it's becoming a pain to unclog it everyday!

I'm remodeling my bathroom and looking for the correct term/keywork so I can do on-line shopping. I've seen built-in (indent, push-in, lodge-in?) shelves for holding bottles/soap on the shower/bath wall. It usually comes in two shelves so I can put "into" the wall to save space. Does anyone know what it calls? Many thanks.

I had my furnace replaced, ordering a 90% efficient furnace. The company incorrectly installed an 80% efficient furnace - mix up at the warehouse.

The company is willing to obtain and install my original ordered 90% efficient order or refund the difference ($800). The sales person is saying it won't make much of a difference, since we don't live in extremely cold climate (San Jose, California), so they are trying to get out of replacing it in a way.

In the long run, is the 90% efficient furnace worth it?

Within the past 2 weeks our water lines seem to be clogged throughout our house. We have less cold water pressure than hot, but both have been affected. We adjusted the regulator and when that didn't make a difference, we replaced it. We used a gauge to read the amount of pressure coming in to the house and it's at 90 lbs. we then tested our outside water spout, which is at the end of our water lines and it reads 80 lbs. So it shows us that the water in going through the lines properly, but for some reason, it's not coming out of our faucets or washing machine. Also, if we turn on the washing machine to hot water only, water will come through, but if it's on cold water only, it won't even trickle in. We have cleaned every screen, blown out the lines and still no luck. Any idea of what would cause this to suddenly happen? Thanks in advance.

I want to use the self adhesive squares to do my ketchen floor but am told I should use some extra kind of glue because they do not stick as well as one would expect. I am very allergic to fumes. When I glued a rig I was sick for a month. I am aware the area needs to be super clean, but if I need a little more glue anyway then is there a type with no fumes?? I was thinking water proof elmers but was told that was not a good idea. hlp plz
