Here's the situation>> I have a wierd breaker system for one. There is an outside breaker bow in which feeds to my other breaker box. The outside one has a 90amp breaker in it which is the one that flips like every day. The main breaker bow in which is inside my house is a 200amp system which has many different breakers in it which feeds different parts of my house. None of the breakers in my main box has ever triped neither has the main 200amp cut off. BUTTTTT the 90amp that is located right outside next to my meter cuts off like every day. I have replaced it which another used one which I am unsure if its any good either and it lasted for a good 3 months and now we're back to the same old crap.
HERE's a diagram of my situation..

Meter Box>>>
90amp breaker box (The flipper that is outside)>>
Main 200amp breaker box>>

The 90 amp breaker will trip when I have all my appliances running (washer, dryer, dishwasher)
Please help!! Thanks..

The house was built in 1999 and had two different renters.

The kid isn't born yet. I want to paint the room yellow and HE wants to paint it blue (which I thin kis too cold). He says "Fine we'll paint the room yellow if you can find a Bananaman border to go on the walls." And then we'd have blue as the secondary colour and Bananaman=Blue+Yellow, which would be perfect. But can't find any. Please help!

We bought a house about two years ago and when we opened up the dishwasher it stunk. The dishwasher is not that old. The more we run it the less it smells, but it never really goes away. Any ideas?

Is there a solution to this problem? I have been advised to add 3/4" plywood diaphragm down the center spans of the three joist bays and this will solve the problem. When the home was built by "Toll Bros" 19 yrs ago they attached 3/4 inch plywood along the side of the joists to firm them up when I complained of the bounce. This stiffened the floors slightly at the time. Seems to be no cure for the 24 inch space

We are just finishing with the drywall taping/mudding. We wish to texturize both the ceilings and walls (knockdown on the ceiling, orange peel or heavier on the walls). Do I need to prime the drywall before texurizing? I'm assuming it does need to be primed afterwards (before we paint on the new texture), but I've seen instructions that say both (either texturize directly on the drywall after mudding or prime with special drywall primer and then texturize).

I want to expand my yard and flower gardens but I have so many blackberry bushes....I've thought about tilling the area, would this help a little or just for this year? In another area of my yard I've pulled them by hand, but the next year they just came back.

I am installing red mahogany cabinets in my kitchen..which match my 100 yr old table. The countertops will be a tan color to match the tumbled marble inbetween them and the wall cabinets and the floors will be a light oak for contrast and all the appliances are white. What I'm stuck on is what color should the baseboards be. Should they match the cabinets or the floor or be white? The baseboards will be at least 10" tall. My kitchen is 13 x 16. This house is over 100 yrs old.

I'm pretty good at getting any type of stains out of clothing, but one thing I can never get out is chocolate ice cream stains. I don't know how many of my daughter's clothes have been stained this way and I've never been able to remove the stains. Just yesterday she dropped chocolate ice cream on her favorite khaki cargo pants. We came right home and I instantly treated the stain, let it sit, then washed them. The stains remained, so I repeated the procedure, still the stains remain. I haven't dried the pants yet because I don't want to set the stain. But what can I use to take out the chocolate ice cream stains? I have tried every kind of laundry pre-treater on the market, including those oxygen powders, none of them work. Does anyone know what I can do?

SERIOUS ANSWERS ONLY PLEASE- My home is brick. I had an issue with mold in the bathroom when I first bought it and fixed that by installing a bathroom fan. Now, I noticed my living room closet has mold in it too. The closet is at the front corner of the house by the door and two walls of the closet are "outside" walls. I have someone coming to look at the problem but don't want to get in to unecessary repairs -- anyone know what this could be or a solution?

We have had a very icy winter and I put salt down on my front porch and sidewalk and now it is popping and cracking. Someone just now told me not to put salt down, how can i fix the cracking and popping? And what do I put down instead of salt? Thanks in advance.

I buy a big bottle of 'naturally friendly' washing up liquid, and then used it for everything?! Washing dishes, bathroom, kitchen, floor and I even put it in the washing machine to wash the clothes. What I would like to know is, will it ruin the washing machine?
