I want to make windchimes, but all the pipes I test in hardware stores do not make the beautiful chiming sound of the ready-made chimes I have purchased in garden stores. I want to go from the tiniest of chimes to the largest.

We had a soft toy (with a magnet on the inside) on our fridge door. The toy is black and the colour has seemed to rub off onto our new white fridge in the shape of the magnet. The toy has been positioned on 3 different locations so we have a few discoloured spots on the door of our otherwise brand new looking fridge.

I have tried cleaning it with gentle cleaners (soapy) with no success. What else can I try without the risk of making it worse? Damn Panda!!!

I got into escrow on a hot condo - with great city views - top corner unit - brand new construction, perfect. Then the city erected a big electric pole right in front of the window! I'm so bummed and I hate it but love the place. Should I still buy?

I swear I keep seeing a little mouse run under my couch, but I live on the second story of an apartment building and my boyfriend tells me mice wouldn't be on the second story. Is it possible that they get to the second floor of the building?

And of so, what's a good way to get rid of a mouse if I have a cat? (I guess a useless cat if I have mice, haha) I don't want to use anything that the cat will be hurt by or get into.

For about a 3 months now, we keep getting these very small pieces of what i think is calcium deposits in our water. In our kitchen and bathroom, where the faucets have aerator filters, I have to clean the filters about once a week or it will severely restrict our water flow in these faucets. I think maybe its because our hot water heater is getting old. Could it be something more serious though???

We have a new ranch style home with a basement in the midwest. The north side of the house has two 2x3 window wells. There is adequate slope and guttering and also plastic window well covers. But when there is a heavy fast rain the window wells fill up with water. Most of the water appears to be running in from the sides. We then must bail the water to prevent flooding the basement.

What would be the best way to fix this problem?

My tiller's belt finally broke last week. It's the belt that fits on the double pulley. What all do I need to remove to replace this belt? It almost seems like the handles need to come off (?)

Thank you.

I went to the EPA website about getting my house tested for lead because I am about to do some remodeling, but it didn't give me any information for my state (PA). I have no idea where there nearest risk acessor or whatever they call them, is to have them be able to come and test. Also, how much does it cost?

i have a pond out side my window, in my neighbours lawn, it covered with extreme amounts of trees, it looks pretty cool, however, for years now both me and my neighbours havent slept properly becasue of the bloody annooying toads which reside in the covered pond, note the pond looks more like a crevase, so its pretty deep almost 1.5 meters deep and around 12 metre wide, i think its man made. all day and all night the toads make this extremely knocking noise, and this is not seasonal, its all year round, and theres lots of them, my question is how do i get rid of them, i have my neighbours permission to do what i need to do to get rid of them, they have tried putting acid in the water, it was ineffective, they tried putting large amounts of chlorine and that didnt work, so what can i do to solve this problem and please dont tell me that they keep the insects away, we already have more insewcts because of the dirty pond water.

best reply and effective treatment gets 10 points

We are soon to be doing an addition on our home, and figured it would be easier to replace the roof...

But if have done some research on trusses vs roof rafters, and I was curious if an actual contractor could shed some light on what is best.

I would like to use floor trusses, and go with rafters for two reasons. One being we could add upward easily with the floor already in place... And two being it would allow there to be more open space in the attic.

Anyways just wanted to get input on what would be best... Cost and structurely wise..

I have a little tomato plant starter that was given to me at work. It is a miniature clay type pot (with a tiny hole in the bottom for watering purposes). It came with a flat quarter size disk that goes in the pot, which is the dirt and seeds. I don't have any instructions on how you start this thing. Do I just put water over the disk in the pot?? thanks

I know this is a weird question, but our school got a new trailer for our marching band gear this year, and we've never had one before.
My conductor's been looking all over for the best way to organize it (shelves, racks, uniform storage, etc.), but hasn't come up with anything.
I was wondering if anyone here has experience with this sort of thing or has good ideas?
