Is there such a thing as a small, portable Leaf Vacuum? I don't need anything to clean leaves off the lawn...just to clean falling petals and leaves from container plants on the pool deck. I'm getting tired of sweeping and a blower just blows everything into the pool.

I have a problem with sound travelling between walls - is there any way to insulate a wall that is existing without taking down drywall and creating big mess with big price tag? Can you make a hole in the 2x4 and spray insulate?

I have a large two car unattatched garage on an alley that has lost all power, no lights, outlets, or garage door opener working. Yes I checked the breakers and their all fine I even went through and reset them all anyway. Still no power in the garage the rest of the house is fine. What else should I be looking for or checking?

I'm planning on moving to the San Francisco / Bay area (Somewhere between SF to San Jose or Fremont, or those cities ;) )
I have looked at apartments.com, but all the apartments that look really great here have awfully bad reviews at apartmentratings.com. I'm looking for a safe, rather luxurious 1000+ sq feet, 2+ bedroom apartment that I can really enjoy.
But where can I find them? (I live outside the US right now so I can't look myself :( )

THANK YOU!!

I'd like to be able to soak some stains with bleach. The stains area right at the water line though, so I need to raise the water level. I know about the float in the tank, but I think it's as high as it will go. If I just add liquid to the bowl it seeps out until the level returns to normal. Any ideas on how to raise the water level in the bowl, even for just 10 minutes?

we have a swimming pool; that for reasons unbeknownst to me, is filled with dirt. there was thought of bricking it over, but i am thinking of turning it into a garden. if i were to do this;since i dont know the origin of the dirt, should i treat the soil before planting? this is a group home, on limited funding. i would not be able to extend great expense in beginning this project. However maybe some of you could offer some shade tree advice towards it getting a good start. i am good with plants. i don't forsee any major issues. but , i don't want to sow a bunch of plants into dirt that won't support their growth. any suggestions or lending of experience is appreciated.

My water heater is leaking from underneath. I was advised to turn the heater off. There was a switch I turned clockwise just above the temperature stat. Then I shut of the gas line. I did that around 11am, and until now my water heater is still leaking!! Some of you guys advised that I should turn the water off from the whole house for it to stop, but thats too much to ask since I need to use water for everyday stuff ALA shower. There isnt any valves on my heater other than the one where u can stick a hose to, but no other valves on it to shut any water from coming in the heater. I have no idea how many gallons my heater can take, but assuming its around 100 gallons, would that take over 9+ hours to fully drain? Because thats how long i've been waiting and its still leaking . i'm tired of going to my garage to sweep off the extra puddles that form due to the leak. Help help help!

I want to put them around vegetables and flowers, but they seem so strong smelling, I wonder if they would affect the vegetable taste, etc.

I have used pine bark mulch in the past, but cedar smells so strong.

Or maybe I could make 2,605,000 little potpouri bags for people to hang in their closets! tsk tsk

He seems to think he can do it but first we need to have the stator and rotor rebuilt. We have checked many places in the yellow pages and internet and cannot find anyone that rebuilds this type of generator (portable for home use). Is there ANYONE out there who can help? We want to keep this job in the VA/NC area

Last summer I saw a home where someone had grown what I think were morning glories in the most beautiful display. It looked like they had several wires or strands of twine secured to the ground at one end, with the other other end sweeping up at an angle, and attached to a porch or tree. These beautiful blue flowered vines were climbing this "trellis", sweeping about 8 feet. Has anyone seen this? Is there any trick to doing this? Does anyone have a picture of this type of display?
