My bathroom tap (hot water) is really hard to turn off. Is this a simple job that anyone can do to repair it? if so, how should I do it? I am a complete amateur

I drove up to San Francisco from Orange County taking the five and I just loved all of those groves of trees that were all over the place for nearly the whole trip. They had dark bark at the trunk, and then the branches were almost reddish-looking but they turned grey right at the top. They weren't very tall and it was winter so they had no leaves. Any ideas?

The blood stain is about 16 months old. My house is on the market and I am tired of explaining the blood stain. I've tried rubbing alcohol, and it worked some, but there is still a mark. Thank you in advance for your advice.

I'm thinking of the color scheme of a chocolate milkshake.
chocolate brown, whipped cream white, and cherry red.
Wood floors, a white shag rug, a small wood table with different sized red candles, a wood sleigh bed, white walls decorated with pictures and cherries and such, and then on the bed a bunch of red and brown pillows, with a big white comforter and a red throw. I wanted something clean and modern, yet still warm and cozy. Is it a cute idea?

I'm going to be moving in with my boyfriend's grandma's house and she's letting us paint the kitchen any color we want and I was thinking of shamrock green because I have dish towels and rags that say "Kiss me I'm irish" So what do you think?

I am about to buy a one-year-old Life@Home BBQ for $100 CAD. Is that a fair deal? It is supposedly in great condition. Thanks!

Any suggestions on what I can use from around the house (like vinegar) to pour into my tub drain. It seems to be smelling a bit, the best I can describe it as is "musty".

You can also suggest a really good store bought drain cleaner.
Thanks

I have a compact Haier Refrigerator, and it has stopped working. After talking with several family members, they all think I should flip it upside down for awhile. I am just afraid it will hurt the fridge.

My indoor Bamboo plants are grown in WATER with plant food. They are too tall. Should I chop them in the middle, and have new ones grow? Do I have to seal the ends with something?

and I would like to know why people can't stand fresh air. All of the windows have to be shut tight. It smells awful in here. Public Health had to come out here and they said the windows need to be opened/ cracked at all times because of the mold, germy, stale air that we have here. Even the management company comes out and checks the apartments to make sure the windows are TIGHTLY closed. One guy patrols the halls at night to make sure the windows are closed. Public Health says that indoor air is 10 times as bad as outdoor air, and leaving every window tightly shut causes diseases to spread fast, because there is no air circulation. WHAT is wrong with people?? Do they think fresh air is going to kill them?

Particularly tomato paste. I have washed it about 10 times in all hot water ( I do not have a dishwasher). I have even let it soak in all hot water and the smell will not come out.
