Need to buy a lawn mower for my garden - medium size, but don't know which one. What is the difference between a rotary and a hover, and which one is better? What is the minimum power I should go for? Which are the best brands.? Many thanks.

i'm building a wall to close an old opening to my garage. i am using breeze blocks, and want to fix them to each side of the opening to secure the new wall. I can't tie them in by interlocking the blocks, as the walls are already built, or use the wire things which are placed in the cement. I've heard about metal strips which you fix to the existing walls, and slot the new blocks into, to give the new build more strength ... but what are they called ???

I know typically it is recommended to sponge the mold off with a water/bleach solution. Can I use something else? Perhaps water and vinegar? Will that be effective?

I had my home inspected before purchase and both home inspector, agent and me thought there was a problem with a heat pump. Seller got the heat pump inspected with a licensed techinician and the latter issued "fine working condition" inspection report. Right after closing and moving in to the new place I realized that the heat pump was running all the time regardless of demand. I called the same technician who said this time that the compressor is gone and the whole thing needs to be replaced. I firmly believe that the compressor was a preexisting condition. There was like 40 days between the two reports. What should I do? Thanks.

Last Thanksgiving we fried a turkey and some of the grease was accidently spilled on the carpet (I'm still trying to figure out how that happened). We are moving and I need to get that stain out. I've tried many stain removers, but I'm tired of paying for something that doesn't work. Does anyone have any ideas??

My garage door opens, usually in the middle of the night.
1. I've taken the batteries out of the remotes and it still happens.
2. I've changed the code and it still happens.
3. I've replace the wiring from the opener to the switch.
4. I've blown out with compressed air to make sure it is not a dust issue.
5. I am not around any military base.
6. I've make sure all connections are tight and secure.

Any help would be wonderful...
