Girlfriend bought pot for indoor plan, but the pot has big drainage hole on the bottom. Re-planted plant into it, soil seems dry all the time even after soaking it with water. When I water the plant, the water streams out pretty fast out of the bottom. Perhaps the hole is too big? Do I need to buy another pot or can I fix the oversized hole?

I just installed solar coach lights for my pathway on Sunday. They are "supposed" to be a "bright white", according to the package. They are glowing mosquito zapper blue. They glowed this color for the last 2 nights. Is it b/c they need more days to charge? They came from Walmart. Please advise!

I don't think it's clogged because it's only been in less than a year. It will drain much more quickly if I jiggle the drain plug.... as if to be letting out an air bubble. Then it drains fine. It's a bathroom sink. Is there something I can do to not get that air bubble in there?

I have some patio accent lights but I don't have a power supply. The instruction that came with the lights calls for a 110v transformer or a solar center I'd really rather have the solar power scource. Can anyone tell me where to look? I've tried looking on e-bay.

I just switched to a regular old timey mop and the water turns dark and dirty looking fast. Is the mop better for cleaning, or are the fibers of the mop just coming out and making the water look real dirty?

Lavendar is so pretty and smells so sweet but everyone tells me it is hard to get started. I bought seedlings and have already set them out in a sunny location. I live in the Southeast US where temps have already been in the 80's. All ideas welcome. Thanks

Is there a difference in price for hiring a skip for on road as opposed to off road siting? I was told that a permit would be needed for on road siting and so would cost more. If so how much?

I am thinking of going into the craft business. I am a pretty good painter and I think I am going to build up a stock of handpainted banners, anything from seasonal to holidays, to personalized or for baby rooms. Would you buy something like that and how much would you expect to pay? I have found other people offering them for $65 to $220.

Round my old mans house, go to turn on the newly wired light and it lit up like a christmas tree!!
If it wasn't for the socket blowing I'm sure it wouldn't have just been the end of my finger that was left black and charred!

Nice wiring old bean!!


Is it just my folks that try to injure me or has this happened to anyone else?

Last week I was helping my father in law clean out his mother in laws house, And we came across a china set, It is not a complete set, At least I don't think. Is there anyway I could find out how much it might be worth, It is made in the usa by the Homer Laughlin company, The Style is Georgian eggshell, Blue chateau, The serial numer or item number is G3468, I can find replacement pieces for the set But no real value prices. Thank you.

i've had my carpets down for nearly 4 years. They were average priced (not dead cheap) but am concerned their not looking very good anymore. How long should they last and does professional cleaning help?

The hot water shutoff valve to the washing machine was dripping. I removed the packing nut and put in new packing over the weekend. Problem is that the packing nut seems to only go back on at an angle no matter what I do...it may have already been that way though. The valve isn't currently dripping, but I'm not liking the way the packing nut only goes on at an angle.

Would it be crazy to keep the existing valve if I keep an eye on it and over time it doesn't drip, or is it too risky to keep this valve given that the packing nut is on at a funny angle? (Local plumbers here in Northern NJ all want around $350 if I were to replace both the hot and cold with a watts single handle valve.)

Thanks,

J.

It's set right now to when I flush the toilet, the opposite end of the ball is going so high it hits the bottom of the tank cover and the water will keep running unless i pull up on the tank cover. Just need to adjust it I assume. I have replaced almost all the parts on the inside of the toilet.

For the past year, I have been extremely depressed and have let my housework go. I am feeling better now but am realizing just how bad my house looks and I dont think the standard cleaning is going to cut it. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get my house back to the condition it should be in?
