I was installing a lock on an eterior door, and i was trying to see if it would latch. Sure enough it did, but I forgot to put the knob on the outside of the door before I tested it now the knob and my tools are locked in and Im locked out. Any suggestions short of calling a locksmith or buying a new knob?

Two part question:

1. I am upgrading the last three circuits in my house that use aluminum wire. One of the circuits is the gas furnace. I know that most homes have a dedicated 15A circuit for the blower motor. I want to replace the 12/2 alum. wire with 12/2 copper and replace what the idiot before me did (20A breaker for 12/2 alum). I will replace the 20A breaker w/ 15A. Is this ok?

2. For lighting I am planning to use 12/2 copper everywhere, just because its easier for me than buying 12 and 14 AWG wire. Is it ok to wire lighting and outlets with 12/2 on 15A breakers (knowing that 12/2 is rated for 20A). I ask this because most lighting wires are stranded 14 AWG and I have always been taught that you can go smaller to larger gauge wire but not the other way around.

The sink has one spout and a separate hot and cold water faucet. It's from the early 1990s. Any advice that you might have will be appreciated.

This may sound like a stupid question but I need to know how to do laundry. I am confused on which cycles to use. When do I put the washer on cold? When do I put the washer on hot? When do I put the washer on warm?? Someone please help me.

Can I just describe it like that?
I want to make it sound like there is that cautionary sign and the cones.

I am writing a story and there is a part where the character comes across a passage where there is wet cement and he can't get through. How would I describe this in a visual way?

I have a 300 gallon aquarium in my greenhouse with trout and perch in it, and hydroponics shelves above it. The shelves are watered by pumping water from the aquarium to the top shelf, and it drains through the shelves back to the aquarium, and the plants in the shelves use the fish waste as fertilizer and this cleans the water. What plants will be good in the shelves to best filter the water?
