It doesn't seem to affect the way the stove heats, but it looks terrible, not to mention the stove has hardly ever been used. Is there a way I can repair this myself?

The flower bed is just filled up with dirt, weeds, and pebbles. First I need to clean it out I guess but do I use the dirt that's already in there or do put soil down? If you want to know, I live in Southern Arizona where it's always dry and hot and I want to plant perennial flowers. I'm new to gardening and want to know how prepare the flower bed, what type of soil I need (if necessary) and any tips on types of flowers to plant. Thanks alot!

After using the weed and feed with a lawn spreader, I notice I have long brown patches on my lawn. What is this and how do I fix it?

I planted some Scotts Premium Sun & Shade grass seed and I don't want it to be wasted because it wasn't cheap, even on sale it was expensive. We are supposed to have a cold front come through Northern Indiana where I live and I'm worried it might get damaged.

I bought a gas fire about 3 years ago, so its out of warranty. The problem is that it isn't working & having contacted the manufacturer they say that the company that made the part I need no longer exist. The only way to resolve the problem is to buy the complete workings for the fire which has also had a few modifications since I bought mine & the cost of the parts will be almost £200 plus I have then to get a Corgi gas engineer to fit it at probably the best part of another £100. Its not a simple case of chucking the whole thing out and buying a complete new fire as its one of those modern built in the wall framed stainless steel jobs set about a metre high in a purpose made appature....... surely manufacturers have a duty to supply spare parts for their products for a number of years ......or dont they???

I tried pressing the reset button, but it still doesnt work. When you turn it on, it doesnt make any noise. Water backs up in the sink. I have tried using agents (LiquidPlumr, Draino), but it is only a temporary fix. Please save me some money if you can.

Looking to rebuild my home, and searching for discounted prices on materials in the DFW area. My home burned down, and we are rebuilding. I need everything, but I am looking for cheaper prices, not cheaper quality.

I've started out with a mini timer and a few lamp modules. I really like it. I want to do some wall switches now - but can't seem to find any reasonably priced ones. Where do you get your supplies?
Thanks.

I am buying a new home and the seller/realtor had the septic tank pumped a couple of days before the septic inspection. My inspector was unable to perform his testing. The realtor said it was a mistake, that he thought he did the right thing. It is beginning to sound "fishy" to me. I am afraid they are trying to hide problems with the system. Am I over reacting? I have read articles saying this is something sellers do to trick the buyer.
