I have a built in cooker, it's made up of 2 units, top is grill and small over and the bottom is the main oven. The top works fine, the botom doesnt. The thermostat light comes on but no heat is generated. Any ideas?

I'd like to have my bedroom painted a dark purple. The problem is that my husband seriously hates painting, and I'm seriously horrible at painting (but would willingly do it). I have a friend who LOVES to paint, and I'm thinking of asking her if she'd do it. I just have no clue how much to pay her for the job. It's a medium sized bedroom that's currently off-white. The ceilings aren't high or anything- we're talking super average bedroom. How much would you pay?

It's a bit noisy and it fills slowly and sometimes fills below what it needs for a proper flush. This is the "new" technology toilet, not the ball float. Could there be a clog in the supply? Does the guts need replacing because the mechanism isn't any longer capability of operating smoothly?

I have a 1200 gal water garden and i have done a 40% water change three times in the last 30 days to rid some of the phosphate...to no avail. The levels are way too high still, no plants will grow and i only have about 15-20 fish in there. 3 largest being about 8 inches, all others are their babies and are about 3 inches long. I can't put the phos-x media bags in my filter because i have a cannister filter that's in the ground, no media bag will fit in there...i can't figure where this is coming from. I have tap water that is treated when put in the garden.....anyone know what i can do or if there is a liquid product i can use to combat this? any help would be appreciated..thanks, April

I wanted to change the thermal fuse on my Maytag Model #LDE8200ACW, but I can't figure out how to open the top of the dryer. Several websites state that the top swings open, but don't say whether the top swings towards the front or the back.

Should I do it now, while the tree is still dormant, or wait until later this spring after it flowers, or in the summer or fall? This branch would be about one fifth of the tree. It is growing toward our house, and encroaching upon a smaller dogwood. I want to remove the branch to make sure the dogwood has room to grow.

At the house end of the garden this wall is only about a foot high but by the end of the garden(which is about 60 ft long) the wall is nearly 6ft high. He then levelled off his garden making it higher than ours. He then placed a 6 ft fence on top of the wall. The wall was built directly onthe boundary except in the middle where is is 3 inches inside his side. At the end of my garden I have a 6ft breeze block wall with a 6 ft fence on top...not very pretty. Legally can I paint this wall or attach a trellis to it? Also since the wall has been in exsistence for 37 years (according to the neighbour who built it) can he now reclaim the 3 inches back... the ignorant so and so is claiming my I can't place anything against the wall as it's inside his land!He now states he's going to place a width of gravel at the bottom of the wall on my side to mark the boundary!! where is the boundary now..at ground level on my side, or 6ft in the air between his fence and the top of the wall?

Central Florida-We bought the home in 2005. The St Augustine grass in the front yard was filled with weeds. We had a professional company spray to kill old grass and eventually plug the yard. They didn't remove any weeds or old dead grass. We kept them for 6 more months waiting for the yard to look better while paying them to spray the yard. We dropped them because the grass never looked any better. Now it is Spring again, the grass still looks terrible. Plugs never grew and many of them are dead. What do we do? Can this be fixed or do we start all over again?
