My husband is carpet cleaning now with a cleaning machine. But I know it has alcohol in it...pretty sure anyway. Will my carpet be okay??

we are planning to change the location of the entryway into our living room and other that just removing the drywall, how hard is it to frame out the opening. Is this something that other new to home remodelers can do or should a professional do this?

I am planning to build a house in Texas where the soil is called caliche. There is no natural gas service in the area so people use LP gas. I want to hide the tank. Is burying it safe?

My kenmore refrigerator has water (ice) in the bottom of the freezer and then drips water all over in the fridge. The fridge is only about 3 years old. It has an ice maker but i dont think the water is coming from it because it does it when it is off. I pull the panel at the back of the freezer off and the coils had about 1/3 frost on them and there is a tray under them that was full of ice and overflowing into freezer. I didnt see any drain or drain holes to the tray. Sometimes it will go a few days without leaking and then all of a sudden there is water all over. Any help? Thanks.

I Just planted three gardenias in my yard. We have not been getting any rain where I'm at.
I heard you should water everyday for two weeks.

How many times a day should I water? Is it possible to over water, if so how much water is to much?

I don't know what kind of plant it is, so here's a pic of it: http://i13.tinypic.com/2q09ftz.jpg

I bought this thing already grown from the same place I got the fish. It was a normal size when I got it ... It's only been a month and a half and now it's twice it's original size! It's so tall it's now growing across the top of my aquarium.

Can I prune it down? How? And how long after I prune it will the leaves grow back?

I bought a hyancyinth bulb that came with a vase. You are supposed to set the bulb in the neck with water just under the bulb, but not touching. The bulb started to rot so I planted it in a pot. Now the green that was poking out the top when I bought it is turning brown. Is there anything I can do to save it?

My neighbor has forced air in a mobile home. The power went out this morning. Now it's back on, but the heater will not turn on.

Does anyone know anything about heaters, and can give advice. This is all the information I have. (sorry)

She checked the breakers/fuse box. There was a button to push, and she did that...still no heat.

For the two years I have had my house in Ohio, I have used the Scotts cycle of fertilizing my lawn, with modest results. I have had a professional calling me trying to sell me his fertilizer cycle (6 times/yr, $40/ea application). He claims that his "professional grade" fertilizer is much better than the Scotts because he calls it a dry fertilizer, or one that doesn't need immediate rain to release into the soil. His claim is that I will have a much greener and fuller lawn with less weeds.
Do you think he is pulling my chain, or do you think this could be legit? Your thoughts on the differences?

Primed ceiling with oil-based Kilz first. Looked great, no problem. Then applied good quality ceiling paint. The kind that goes on pink and dries white so you don't miss any spots. As it dried several small areas looked discolored ... like off-white or yellow marks. I thought the primer would seal in any imperfections? I put on another coat of ceiling paint ... same marks still appear. What's the problem?

Have new 12" memoryfoam mattress and would like to keep total height of mattress from floor similar to what it was with my former innerspring mattress. But do I risk damage or shortened life to the memory foam mattress if I put it over a regular box spring base? (as compared to puting over a solid plywood base or perhaps over the special "low profile" box springs [that have No springs!] that are now commonly sold to go with memory foam or thick latex mattresses.)
Thanks for your thoughtful feedback!
