okay so i just figured out i could have put my new linoleum over my old one but i already started tearing it out. the old one is like a hard linoleum tile that just chips away and it is taking me like 3 whole minutes on each one so how can i do this faster?? i already used a blow dryer that did'nt work. plus i'm broke so i can't buy any products. HELP!

No numbers, no lights. The breakers in the electrical box are fine, the power in the house is okay. The AC/heater doesn't turn on.

My window frame outside my house has had masking tape around it for about 6 months. (had a massive fire ant problem, whole 'nother story!) I tried to remove it but it is REALLY stuck on there. And the actual paper is leaving the glue on the surface of the window frame. Any ideas?

I thought I had pushed the timer button. The display doesn't even light up. No time, no exhaust fan...nothing. We can't find my manual nor can we find a reset button. It's a Kenmore Elite microhood and I loved it til I killed it! Please help!

I have a fairly new Frigidaire refrigerator / freezer combo (about 6 years old). Since this summer, the referigator has been going into over drive and often times freezing stuff. I suspect it might've started after we lost power for about 6-9 hours after a storm.

The referigator's and freezer's temperatures are set to the minimum, yet the non-freezer part consistently ruins / freezes stuff. Otherwise the refigerator / freezer has no other oddities.

Is this a job for a repairman or is there an adjustment I can make on my own? I am a complete n00b when it comes to appliance repairs.

Thanks

The sliding glass door going out to the back yard just looks so plain. We just got a new dining room table (this is the room with the door) and i want to finish the room with some curtains.

There are vertical 3" blinds up and that's all. The kind you can slide open or closed.

What would look good over this door? Something i can open and close....i have no clue about stuff like this.

I live in Phoenix Az and I have a paved patio where I have planted (potted) Camellia and Mandevilla vines (Alice du Pont). I it normal for this plants to die back in the winter? My Mandevilla lost all its leaves abd just looked like brown twigs. My patio has enough shade in the summer and pretty mild temps in the winter however we had a few nights of lower 30ish degrees this year. Will these plants normally come back in the spring?

Time to order seed, tree & garden plants. I just want a couple Trugold Peach Trees, 2 Apricot trees, Strawberries, and a Cherry tree. Henrey Fields to so expensive but they do guarantee. I have ordered from them before but just wondered if there was another well known established Seed & Nursery Company that has competitive prices. One that will order & deliver online. Don't want to order in bulk my yard is small. Any suggestions on type of fruit trees would help too I am in zone 7 (Arkansas). Please share your knowledge & experience with me but only if you have dealt with that particular Nursery in the past and know for a fact they are high quality. Please give me the link or Company's name. I want to order Shiitake mushroom spores or dowels to, any suggestions or tips on mushroom gardens & tasty types of mushrooms would be so GREAT!!!!.

the weather has been below freezing for 2 weeks. The main city sewer line is 20 ft. from my house. Whenever I walk into my laundry room, I smell sewer fumes coming from wash drain. Never had this problem before. Is it the cold weather, plus the closeness of the city sewer to my house? Is something frozen somewhere?

The seal is old and comes out at the front door. So, it leaks. I want to know what I may use until I can afford to fix it, to do the same job? Tin foil pushed into the slot at the door?
