Changing the electric "cosmetics" in the bathroom after a remodel, the single pole switches for the lights failed to activate. There is Power flowing from the breaker and even tried putting the old switches back on, etc.

Not working and no window for light in the bathroom has become a problem to finish the job. Electricians can't be here until the end of the week.
Maybe some one else has encountered a similar problem on here and can help! Thank You.

I have two lucky bamboo pots, each with three stalks each. Both of them (one more than the other) are turning brown at the tips of the leaves and some leaves are turning completely brown. The stalks are all still completetly green though.

Both are rock and water plants, and get pleanty of indirect sun. And I change the water in the one that is worse off reguarly. Both are indoors only plants. What can I do to improve their health?

I am trying to install a residential sprinkler system. Most of the system works fine with sufficient pressure. However, the further zones with rotary heads basically trickle. I measured the pump output to be 5 GPM, is this my problem. I even tried a pressure tank which made little difference. I can also hear a gurgle of water at the valve for the furthest section. I used 1 inch piping. What can I do?

Here in California, growing season has already started. My green bean sprouts are a few inches tall, and already something is eating holes into the leaves. I never see any insects on the plants (do they only come out at night?), though last year there were a whole bunch of very small white flies on them. I put soap on them last year and that controlled them a bit, but they always came back. What could be eating the leaves this year?

I don't want to put any harsh chemicals on them, otherwise I'd just buy veggies at the grocery store and save myself the hassle. What organic ways are there to combat insects eating garden vegetables?

I am replacing the deck belt on my MTD yard machine riding mower. I have removed the deck and I'm ready to replace the deck belt. The problem is there are two pins attached to the frame. These pins keep the belt from sliding off the engine pully. They must be removed so I can completely replace the deck belt. How do I remove those pins?

Before we started kitchen renovation, I found an inspiration picture - a Tuscan farm scene with yellow-orange fields, dark greens trees, and red roofs and the poppies. We have tiles w/ shades of yellow, tan, and rust and maple "spice" cabinets. The appliances are stainless steel w/ black. The countertops will be Juniperano St. Cecelia granite, which has a light base, with black, yellows, oranges, and some red flecks in it. The sink is black granite and the fixtures are brushed nickel.

I took the color of the picture mat (Warm Muffin from Behr) and we painted that on the ceiling in the kitchen. The kitchen walls will be faux Italian plaster (not a lot of wall showing due to cabinets, tile backsplash, and banquette seating).

The original plan was to pick up the red from the painting and granite by painting the kitchen walls a darker red color (similar to Behr's Ruby Ring). I need to paint the walls, but I'm starting to get scared. Will the red be too dark/bold? If so, what to do?

I have tons of furniture in my house that I do not use and that I would like to sell. I am considering putting on ebay but, first I would like to know if there are any companies in New York City that will appraise and buy my old furniture. I have a bunch of pieces in excellent condition from companies like "Cargo" and "This End Up".

I just found out that the floors in my home are hardwood. I was wondering if pulling it up and redoing the hardwood floors is something I could do or do I need to hire a professional? I would like to know how costly it will be doing it yourself and hiring someone. Are there any products that will make the job easier? If you have any experience in doing a job like this, please tell me your answers and experiences.

I want to make a small deck to use beside my 52" above-ground seasonal pool, on the cheap. I just had the idea to stack free pallets, nail them together to the proper height, and put decking across the top of it (and add stairs). Any reason this won't work? Pallets are built to hold weight, aren't they? Any other great ideas to contribute?
