I saw an ad that were selling whirlpool cabrios washer 4.5 cu ft capacity model wtw6600sw and dryer model wgd6400sw.My husband called and told them that we were interested in the washer and dryer that they had on the ad. We were told they had a set in white and off white. When we got there I told the gentlemen that we wanted to buy the waher/dryer from the ad. He said they had just sold the dryer but they still had the washer. The washer was brand new w/o the box but they still had the tape on the sides and the styrofoam in the tub. I didn't bother taking off the styrofoam until we got home that is when we realized that they were not the same models advertized. They sold us the washer with 3.8 cu ft capacity. The paper we signed said if an item is returned due to customer error they would charge 25% of the total. Is it our fault for not checking or theirs for selling us a model that we did not ask for? What can I do to get a full refund?

I just pulled up some carpet in my house, and the padding underneath it has disintegrated and left some sticky, nasty crap behind on the hardwood floor. Is there an easy way to get this off so that I don't have to spend an entire Saturday night scraping every square inch with a putty knife?

i really want a rubber ficus (ficus elastica) tree at least five feet tall for my office or living room. They are the ones with the big, sort of thick, leaves. Not flimsy for sure. I can not find a tree nursery in the Washington or Oregon area. The tree should be real by the way. Does anyone know any local nurseries i could call or visit. Any advice would help. Thank you.

i was told to put carpet up against laminate id have to install an "end cap" a.k.a. "trim molding". the trim is very expsensive $30 per 8 feet and is probably the worst quality material you could ever have to work with. it breaks way too easy and is horrible to try to install.
is it really necessary to use it?
id prefer just to install the carpet right up against the laminate itself. i think it would look better be cheaper and be much less stressful. but is there a logical reason this isnt a good idea?

To stop onions making you cry I puff up my upper lip when cutting or sliceing it, And when I stop painting say a door with Gloss paint I put the brush in a freezer bag and put it in the fridge to keep it moist so I can use it next day. So anyone else with clever tips ??

We have a depression in our lawn with about a 3 to 4 feet diameter. We filled it in with dirt and put sod on top two years ago. It has gone back down, and we want to fix it this spring to prevent it from happening again. Is there anything different I can do this time?

The label says "dry clean only," nothing else. There isn't anything about the material or ironing instructions. What should I do?

I have discovered my end beam in the attic is wet and crumbly in places where water must have been coming in at the chimney breast. I only noticed today that the wallpaper at the corner of the room below had gone a bit black in one corner. Is this a big job for a roofer and what would be an average price for him to charge.
I live alone and don't want to be ripped off. Thank you any advice.

I just got finished leveling out my front yard (it was pitted in spots, so I filled in with a truckload of clean fill mixed with top soil). Now I want to over-seed the summer lawn from last year to make sure any bald patches I created grow new grass. When can I do this? I'd love to hear from someone with professional gardening / landscaping experience, but if you are a knowledgeable hobbyist that is great, too! Thanks in advance!

I’m switching from a gas dryer to an electric dryer. I have a 50/250v receptacle that is already installed in the laundry room. (This is what it looks like) http://www.foxelectricsupply.com/Content/Media/Images/Category/eag32.jpg

Now the dryer junction box has 5 places to connect the wires. L1,L2,L3,N,Ground. Now my question is what wire goes where? The manual says to connect the red and black wire (the cable I have only has white, green, and black so I’m assuming I just replace red for green?) to the L1 and L3 connection. Next is says to connect the ground to the ground connection yet the receptacle I have isn’t grounded (I don’t think...). Should I hook the neutral (white) wire up to the N connection (It makes sense but I don’t want to risk destroying my dryer).

So if I’m right I would connect…

White (center prong on plug) > N
Green and black > L1 or L3

I bought a pair of white boardy shorts when I was in the USA last summer. I stupidly put them into a washing machine with red bed sheets, the shorts are now pink. Can anything be done to make them white again?
