My kitchen has been invaded by small insects that look like a gnat, but don't have any wings. They are approx 2-3mm in size and I have seen one of them jump to avoid me killing it. They have gotten into everything in my pantry that was not in a can or sealed in a plastic container. They seem to especially like sugar and baking mixes (like muffin mix, etc.). Does anyone have a clue what kind of bug they might be???

My shower's draining slow and I want to know what people use to drain their shower. I already used some drano-like liquid stuff but that didn't work. I don't want to buy an equipment like snakes and stuff, just like liquids or jets....by brand name please. Tell me what works! thanks.

I have taken the carb. off and fully cleaned it, everything that can be taken off and cleaned that is, and have put a new diaphragm in it but it didn't help. It does not have a fuel/air mix needle on it so I don't know what else to do. New gas, clean tank, new plug, air filter all to no avail. It does have a "jet- pilot" on the side that I think is open and clean, but it makes no difference if it is screwed all the way in or out. At times it acts like it is starving for fuel and other times seems to be flooding. I am at a loss. Sometimes loosening the gas cap will make it speed up and sound better, but the next time I try it, it makes it stall even worse. After 20-30 minutes, it seems to catch up with itself and run a little stronger, but the first 5-10 minutes it is a bear to get going! The motor does not have very many hours on it so it can't be a real big problem, but what is it?

I read in Scott's Lawncare book that when replacing my sparkplug for the season i should shoot in 15ml (0.5oz) of Motor Oil into the spark plug hole. My lawnmower is a gas driven. I used a suringe needle to do the job and it squirted in pretty fast. I then slowly pulled the cord of the engine to move the oil around to lube the engine. When i then offically started the mower (sparkplug reattached) i found that my mower began to smoke up (white smoke) and heard lots of popping sounds from muffler. I then turned it off and noticed splatters of oil just under the muffler area of mower. I then reasoned that my action of shooting oil may have done this.

OR IS IT POSSIBLE, that my tipping the lawnmower up (sparkplug up in the air) may have caused the existing oil in the system to somehow cause problems. OR even another possiblity, i just changed my Air filter on the mower and maybe it is not in correctly...

OR maybe when i changed the sparkplug it is Miss Firing?

I have a Bradford Pear tree in my front yard and this year I started seeing what I thought were weeds coming up in my yard. I have been to lots of nurseries and no one can tell me how to get rid of them. They are suckers coming up from the roots of my Bradford Pear tree.

We're renting this house, and from what I know of its history it's been a few years since anyone bothered to clean the glass on the shower door.

I've tried the following products:

Lysol Soap Scum Remover
CLR
LimeAway
Vinegar and water
Comet Cleanser
Toothpaste
A razor blade

Nothing is working!!!! If I owned the home I'd just go buy another glass door lol ... it's a lovely shower and a beautiful home, but I really don't want to invest any money into it, know what I mean?

Any suggestions would be great (well, other than to kick out the door and call the property owner lol), thanks!

The bees burrow into the trim work on my house laying their eggs. Woodpeckers find the holes and peck open the trim getting to the grubs.........destroying my trim work. Does anyone know how to kill the bees or make them go away. Wasp spray and other pesticides that I have tried do not work in the least.

My walls are painted white, my closet and exit door are painted red. What color bedroom set should I purchase? Since there is more white color in my room than red, I was thinking black or silver, or white furniture. What do you think?

I just cleaned out the mold from the floor that has piled up from the drain overflowing, but is there a way to get the drain open and clean it, or do I just need something like Drano?

I'm looking to use a CNC router table to flycut the top surface of some wood. Importantly, I need the surface to end up quite rough e.g the type of rough cut surface you would get from cutting some wood using a circular saw (but without any machining marks). Which router blade should I use to achieve this? Or is it more a case of reducing the router cutting speed. Whenever I have used a router to cut wood, the cut surfaces have been left quite smooth.
