I have a forced air heating and cooling unit on my home. When I turn the heat on and leave it for more than an hour or two it blows the fuse and the outside unit is completely frozen over. What would cause this? Is it something I can fix or do I need to call a repairman since it's a fairly new unit.

I bought a small poinsettia for Christmas, and I am surprised it has last this long. It is losing leaves but the stalks still seem good and green. And so instead of throwing it out, I was looking to bring it back to health and keep it year long.

Do you have any tips for taking care of a poinsettia and bringing it back to health? Watering, plant food, light? Amounts?

I've already checked the Wikipedia site, so please reference other pages. Thanks for your help.

Why do so many wealthy countries have so many wooden clapboard houses when brick is more permanent and requires less maintenance? You hardly see wooden houses in UK and there are loads in US.

I am getting my shop together and wonder if the extra cost for a sliding compound miter is worth it or not. It seems like there are just more parts that can break and should I just go with a 12" compound for the larger stock or go for the sliding miter.

I'm thinking of buying a Karcher vacuum cleaner. Which model works best? Bags or water?

Is there anything I can do except waiting for them to thaw? I mean not even a drip. But I do still have cold, which has had pressure problems due to lime build up in the lines. I live in a mobile home and I hate it. Right now what can I do to get some water running and for it to be hot? We can't live like this.

My water pressure is very high. When I turn on the sink the water shoots down so hard that it splashes everywhere. My showers pressure is so strong that it stings when I take a shower. My hot water only lasts 5 minutes. I use a gas water heater tank. How would I go about with resolving this matter without seeking a professional?

I am looking to buy some used planters to start some seeds I have indoors for this year and next. I have looked on ebay, but the shipping is expensive. Do the greenhouses ever carry extra that they sell for cheap? Where else can I get them?

my furnace is running continuously non stop even after I put plastic bags and blankets on all my windows. I adjusted the little wheel inside my thermostat the thing that says longer on it and shorter. I will probably have to call my furnace man to come back out and check it out again. I was wondering if maybe because it is extremely cold outside it that has anything to do with it and maybe I shouldnt call him as of yet but wait it out until the end of the week when it becomes warmer. Right now it is below 0 outside and it will be only in the teens until later in the week. also is my gas bill going to soar up or the electric with things running constantly? Help, I need advice

Like say you have carpentry skills and you have to cut down a Tree in your yard that was too big, so why not craft it into a coffee Table?

I have a 70' tree (it is like a maple or a spruce) it is about 30' from my house but it is leaning towards the house. It is in it's middle stages of dying. It still blooms in the spring but not as much as it should. I think the people I bought the house from cut a big limb off of it. Did a half *** job and that is what is killing it. Anyway I want it down before it comes down on it's own and cuts my house in half. Basically I want to know about how much it should cost me to drop it and possibly grind the stump. I know a buket truck will be needed and there is plenty enough room to get one back there.
