My electric sockets keep tripping, i found out that it was the microwave causing it

Ive checked the earth wire is in tact on the mircrowave plug but still it keeps trippin the sockets off
Ive also tried it on another plug socket and still does the same
Ive taken the plug apart and re-wired it, also added a new fuse but still the sockets keep tripping

does anyone know what i can do? do you think its the mircrowave that needs repairing internaly?

I suppose one variety was grafted on the stock of another. There are gorgeous large flowers and clusters of smaller flowers, and the colors are completely different. Should I just let them grow together, or will this harm the plants?

My dryer stopped working in the middle of drying a load of laundry. It was still hot when I opened the door. We tried everything to get it to work again but we cant figure it out! It is a Whirlpool, about 8-10 years old. Thanks for your help.

I'm starting to repair an old house in rough condition. The foundation is based on brick piers. Towards the front of the house, one of the peirs has fallen over and the others have settled (due to water flow that also must be corrected). This floor obviously is unlevel. Additionally, in this same area, a couple of the floor beams have suffered termite damage and need to be repaired.

I've researched several ways to level the floor but can't decide which is the best in this situation. Hiring a professional would be optimal, but is probably more than I can afford.

Ideas? Detailed step by step process maybe?

Our backyard garden gets a good amount of sun. We want a plant that will climb up a small trellis about 3 feet high. We don't want morning glories. Does anyone know of any plants that worked for them personally; preferably that grow well in the Rochester, NY climate. Thanks.

I rolled up the new carpet, and stored it for a few years. Now I unrolled it to lay out, and it is wrinkled bad throughout the entire carpet. Will this ever lay flat again? What do I have to do to help it regain it's original shape?

Specifics: in ground pool, algae can be scrubbed away pretty easily, but will return, dosed with shock and liquid choline. A pool tech suggested not wasting money on algae chemicals. Your thoughts please, thank you!!

Hey, I'm 13 and I'm sick of kids at school telling me that my clothes/stuff smells like smoke, of course I'm not the one smoking! My dad and step-mom do and It's gross! So any ways to get that gross smell out of the house. Don't say to get them to stop smoking, already tried and it didn't work.

Thanks,
♥Me
