Home & Garden - 18 February 2007

We want to buy a dishwasher on the internet. There are two colors to choose between, Aluminium and Stainless steel.
I looked at the pictures but couldn't decide which one looks better?
Do you have any suggestions? Which one is better to choose?
Thanks

Im appreciate any advice anyone has to offer on this. Im a novice gardener at the moment. I want to be able to earn abit more money. Id like to be either self employed (as i am at the moment) or work with someone.

Would anyone out there be interested in employing me do you think? So i can assist them?

I am moving in with my boyfriend and i have a full size bed and he has a queen he only has like one good set of sheets would it be bad if i bought some sets of sheets i mean i am going to be sleeping in the same bed with him so i should be comfortable too right? Would it be much if i brought my own dishes kitchen stuff and and towels and all my bathroom stuff he hasn't been living in his apartment long and doesn't have all that much would it be a bad idea? I want to make his apartment feel like home to me and my daughter. Is it too much to add my own little touches or should i just not even bother?

I want to install wood floor myself over a cement sub-floor and the guy at the store wants me to pay and have him test the cemet for moisture. If he detects moisture then he puts some special sealer on the floor and then I can lay the wood directly onto the floor using glue.

This is a serious problem that we have tried everything to get rid of! The most effective thing I have done is scrape it with razor blade....but takes way too long and if not careful scratches the tile. Wouldn't try it on the granite though.

is there a way to determine whether the coat of paint i am about to paint over is oil or water based. I am using water based paint and have heard it can bubble and crack if you paint over an oil based coat.

I've got this modern looking 9ft. couch. My fiancee and I joke that it has "death buttons" because we easily get snagged on the buttons. One came loose and I'm not sure how to resew it since the button has the stich hidden under the fabric. Any ideas?
Thanks so much in advance for your answers!

I just replaced the heating element in my 40 gallon electric water heater and I am still not getting hot water. Any other ideas of what the problem may be? I would like to avoid replacing the whole thing if possible.

I dropped a red Sharpie marker on my friend's sunglasses(the tip of the marker landed on the frame, not the lens) and I was wondering if there was any way of removing the mark without damaging the finish on the glasses. The part that is marked is made of plastic. I haven't tried anything yet, so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I used a cut-to-fit furnace filter, which slides into a horizontal 1 1/2" slot at about eye level. It has now fallen down inside the cold-air return duct to about ankle level. Any creative suggestions of how to get it out of there without taking apart the duct?

We're looking to cut down a few small (3-6" diameter) trees.

Brand recommendation? Anyone have experience with the cordless chainsaws on the market?

I'm not looking for a gas chainsaw and I know what the best brands are so, please, lets stick to the question in hand. Thanks!

My mom always adds crushed aspirin to the rose water when she trims them and replaces the water. What does that do in biological or chemical terms?
