The bird is yellow orange everywhere except the head and wings. It loves the humming bird feeder. It sings a beautiful sound. Humming birds don't mind it drinking with them !

I have started it from seed and would like to grow it in a container for the time being. Is indoors best in a sunny window? What about soil, would a good miracle grow soil work well?

We have been told to put in new carpet and paint. But I feel like a paint and carpet allowance would be better to let the new owner make those decisions. We have no money to do renovations. Please help me out.

When you use a twist on wire nut for small guage wire (ex: speaker wire), do you first twist the stripped wire ends together before placing the wire nut on? Or do you just place them next to each other, then place on and twist on the wire nut?

I am looking for something to make a gas hob safe!!! (Changing to electric isn't an option!!) Its to reduce the risk that someone can turn the knob and let gas release to cause a major fire risk / gas risk. Is there any sort of covers out there that can be fixed and secured to the top of the hob covering the knobs / ignition button??

Ok my daughter went out to cut the grass today and came back in saying the lawnmower had a lot of white smoke coming out of a part on the side of the mower. So I went out and started it and there is a silver round thing on the side upper part of my mower that has a lot of white smoke coming out and it smells like it is on fire. I was told this might be the carburetor (sp) but I being a female don't know much about these things lol. I tried to take the carburetor (if that is what it is off but can't. Is there a way to get it off that I am not seeing a bolt or something? Also if you can tell me what could be causing this problem and how to fix it I would really appreciate it.
