My dryer is electric and I don't know how to tell if the electrical plug fuse is blown, I just know the dryer is not drying my clothes.
What would the electric plug fuse that's blown look?

The cold water pipes in my master bath seem to be frozen. The bathroom sits above an unheated (but insulated) 2 car garage. This is a new house and our first winter in it. The temp last night got down in the single digits and the windchill was sub zero. Is there anything I can do to get them working - the pipes are in the floor and wall where I can't get to them.

When my husband does laundry and he HAS to put in all the water & detergent FIRST before putting in the clothes. I on the other hand, will put in the clothes, add the detergent and then turn on the water. He argues that I do it wrong and he says my way will not clean the clothes. I say it's a waste of time to WAIT for the washer to fill up with H2o before putting in the clothes and that my clothes is never dirty. What are your views on this?

My laundry room only has one 120v Socket, and that is being used by the Washing machine. There is also, a 220v (30a) dryer socket that was used by the old (now dead) dryer. Besides returning the new dryer, what options are available? I was thinking about replacing the existing 30A circuit breaker with two circuit breakers one 10 and one 20 only hooking up the 20. Then replacing the 220v dryer socket with a standard 120 socket. Anyone got any ideas?

My dogs chewed the bathroom cabinet on the corner and I live in an apartment. I don't want to have to pay for it when we move out. How would I be able to fix it to look like it hadn't been chewed?

My two-year old got a hold of an ink pen and I have two ink blotches the size of half dollars in my beige carpet. Is there anything I can use to get it out?

It is a York Diamond 80 and after the pilots light, instead of coming on, it most of the time just has a loud humming noise. When it does come on it only lasts for few minutes and whirrs off.

So I have these end tables, with those glass tops that are un-attached, and you just set the table top on these little rubber buffers that help keep it in place. Well I took the tops off one day to move furniture around, and when I went to put them back on, my friend said I was doing it wrong. The glass has a beveled edge design, and I had always put the tops on with that edge facing up. She says your supposed to face that side down, cause when you set stuff on the table, it could teeter on the beveled edge, and fall off. Whatever! It's not that important, just curious if there's actually a right or wrong way. ;)

We have a firex smoke detector. the model is the 5000. Do you know why the smoke detectors are waking us up and giving false alarms? and how to stop it?

I want to build some raised wooden planters to grow veg in as I have a large yard but small garden. Would it be safe to use preservative treated wood? If not what should I use?

I'm in the market for a new set of bed linens. I have looked at several websites (Target, Macy's, Bed Bath and Beyond, etc) but most of the bed sets I have seen are really ugly. Any ideas as to where to look
