I want to add a decorative touch to my walkways around my yard.....they are concrete....some of them are cracked ...I saw at Lowes a mold for concrete walkways that you put your concrete in and you can add tint to color it etc,,,,I want to do that but I need to know can I just pour the new concrete on top of the old walkways and will it adhere to that which is down already,,, or do I have to completely remove the old and start fresh?....or is there something I have to do to prepare my old concrete that is already down for the new?......I appreciate any help.....thanks

I noticed that the freezer part of my fridge is fine, the fridge part seems to take forever to get cold. I have the temperature all the way to 9 and only then is it seems okay. (still not really cold) (according to the fridge stick magnet its at barelly normal operating temp) I also noticed that I hear bubbling noises in the back of the fridge now and then. Please let me know what I should check first.

It seems they are guarding something in my back yard, but I don't see anything but grass and the house. No bushes or trees back there. How can I make them go away?

I can dig different depths and will only keep fish in it in the warm weather. Do I still need it to be at least 3 feet deep in the middle if I am not keeping fish in it over the winter?

I had long pants that were made of the sort of material that are commonly used in athletic clothes. The type with holes in it. I cut the pants into capris, and they don't seem to be unraveling, though its hard to tell. Is it necessary to sew the edges, cause i'd rather not if it isn't necesarry?

We recently bought a new house, and last summer, the bees were awful. Those wasps like bees that build small nests were everywhere. All over the deck, under the eves, behind the sudders. Now that the warm weather is coming, I see them flying all around the house, probably looking for good places to set up their homes. Is there anything I can do to prevent them from wanting to build around my house??

We have light sage green upper walls---lower part of walls and cabinets are white---floor is a natural looking stone color (not real light though--more tanish) tile with the countertop the small matching tile. I need to know if I should go with a white sink and white appliances or my hubby says to go with black appliances and ???sink. We currently have a stainless steel sink and not sure we want to go with that again. Need suggestions of people who can "visualize" this and help. Thanks

There doesn't seem to be any kind of tension adjuster or am I wrong about this. It's fricking annoying because you open the door and it starts to slide shut right away. Anyone know how to adjust this door so it will stop doing this?

Mine has been basically a piece of junk (to put it mildly). This is one of the most successful and most misleading ad campaigns on record, for my money. What do others think?
