Home & Garden - 5 March 2007

I am repairing the floor in my dining/kitchen area because the previous owner begain laying it with 12" x 12" ceramic tile and didn't finish the job. It's not been grouted, and the tiles are laid out completely wrong- and with much too large of a gap between the tiles. He did manage to do one thing right - he adhered them well to the subfloor. I intend to replace with vinyl flooring, but I'm wondering - what's the easiest way to get the old ones up/out?

I'm decorating my room. It's pretty small, a rectangular shape. It has a built in wardrobe in it. I was thinking of a colour scheme of fushcia/very deep pink, turquoise and dark brown/chocolate, will this look good? I'm thinking of keeping the walls and ceiling cream and white and the floor will have laminate flooring so the shell of the room will be pretty neutral. I'm not sure whether I should paint the wardrobe doors brown or not? I'm thinking of doing it 50-40-10 (pink-turqouise-brown) so would it look nice if the wardrobe doors were block brown with pink and turquoise flowers/butterflies stenciled on them? I want a chic yet girly look to the room? Any suggestions? How should I arrange the room?

Not easy to explain, but sort of like a figure of 8 in plastic that goes over the neck of one coat hanger to enable you to hang askirt or trouser hanger from it.
Would love to be able to get hold of some to sort out my wardrobe

I have a weber. Fairly new and spotless burners. Cranked it up for the first time this year last night with a full propane tank and the flames are low, very low. Is this the valves or the propane tank. It worked fine in the fall and the tank went empty. I exchanged it yesterday and now very low flow. Are these tanks sometimes defective or is it usually something wrong with the grill. Everyting looks fine as for no clogging. The only two things I can think of would be the burner valves or the propane tank itself. I didnt know if these tanks were often defective before I go back to home depot and get a refund.

Ice maker, so far, is checking out. I took the panel off the inside rear of the freezer. This panel covers up the coils (like a radiator coil) that I assume is involved in defrosting the freezer and cooling. Anyway, this coil is all iced over. That can't be normal. What might cause this heavy icing? , a thermo couple or thermostat has to be busted. I think???

I just moved into a house where the owners smoked ALOT. Their car smells just as bad. Is there anything that can permanently remove that smell in time for me to move my things in? I have a time limit of one to two weeks.

Our house is all electric, so there isn't any gas. From my understanding Radon doesn't cause head aches. Is there anything in our house that could cause this? Could it be the heating system?

Is it a plumber? Electrician? Garbage disposal engineer?

Also, if you can recommend one in the Tampa, Florida, area, that would be great.
