I want to put down peel/stick vinyl tiles in my kitchen and bathroom. Both rooms have Vinyl flooring now and it's not damaged in anyway I just hate the colors. Can I put the peel/stick tiles on top of the existing floor or do I have to pull it up? Also should I use some sort of glue to add extra holding and will this kind of floor last or will it start peeling up in a few months?

We just recently moved into a house and the boiler and hot water tank which came with it are over 12 years old and no longer work properly. The water never fully heats up and we're sick of lukewarm showers! How much would it cost to replace the boiler and hot water tank. I'm unsure of what kind of heating system we have currently but I think it's an immersion heater, but I really haven't a clue! I'm sorry if this isn't enough detail but its all the relevant information that I have!

They aren't very thick velvet (I got these at Target), and the velvety texture is only on one side. BUT it does say to dry clean only, and I am nervous about ironing them.

Should it be a moist or dry iron? Low/high setting? I am also going to use Stichwitchery to shorten them, so I need to iron the velvety side at the bottom.

The main purpose of a water seal in a water closet is to prevent escape of sewer gases into the building I understand.
Does the water seal in the water closet serve any other useful functions?

I am certain the hot water makes a complete loop and there's no air in the system (pipes). I know because I feel the very hot water leaving the boiler and feel the somewhat cooler water returning into the boiler. Yet, improbable as it sounds: at two separate, ajacent and perpindicular heat registers (one 10', one 6'), in two seperate rooms and on the same heating loop, I have this problem. I suspect some type of blockage but the loop is completed.Before I call in a Pro, I'd like to have an ideal of what's going on. I the meantime I've raised the thermostat. Lastly, this is a 4 year old house and I believe this condition has existed since it was built.

I don't claim to have a green thumb, I'm just trying to keep my few leafy plants alive. One seems to have light yellow crusty mold-like stuff growing just on the surface of the soil. Whether I water the plaint or let it dry out the mold is there.

Will it hurt the plant?

I can't figure this out. I'm installing a new overhead range hood above my stove. I took down the old one and put up the new one. One black wire, one white wire, and one ground. The two blacks go together, the two whites together and the groung goes under the green groung screw.
I'm feeling good about my self, I go down to flip the fuse back on and it trips. I keep trying and everytime I try to turn the fuse back on it keeps tripping. Never had a problem with the old hood so I'm shaking my head.

The only difference between the two hoods is that the new one is 1.7 amps and the old one was 2.1amps. In the basement the, the fuse that they are on is 15 amps.

Can somebody help me out.....:(

The broiler works, and the burners on the stove work, but the oven won't do anything when I turn it on. There is this part on the bottom of the oven that glows red when I turn it on, but it doesn't ignite. Is this something that can be fixed inexpensively or will it cost me the same to just buy a new oven? Any help would be appreciated greatly!!!

I'm adding a gas fireplace. I already have a red brick wall in the room next to the fireplace. (other walls are wainscotting and painted drywall). A local stone and brick store employee said that if you already have a geometric brick or stone in the room, it doesn't look good to mix in a non-geometric stone veneer. Assuming that is true, how would mixing in another completely different geometric stone veneer fit in? My red brick is 100 years old and can't be matched. Or any other ideas. I also have brick red pavers on the floor. I'm afraid of adding too many elements.
