If you bought a forested piece of land, and you wanted to build your own custom home on it, how would you do it?

Somebody "borrowed" my mower and brought it back not working... it seems as though one or more springs are missing from the throttle arm.
Does anyone have a diagram, clues, suggestions... please?

We just bought a home and it needs gutters (there aren't any). we have gotten pricing to have it done but it is outrageous. I need to know what all we need besides the gutters, down spouts & nails. And how hard is it to do it ourselves? I'v been to Lowe's and know they have what I need but want to know more info.

Tried to turn on my wall A/C but it would not work. I thought it was dead (old unit), so I brought in another (almost new). It doesn't work either. I thought it might be the receptacle so I threw the breaker and started to remove that. I saw some sparks and the breaker went off when I accidentally touched metal-to-metal (turns out I had thrown the wrong breaker) so I know there's power in the box . Next I threw the right breaker, switched out the receptacle and it still does not work. No changes have been made to my wiring since I last ran the A/C last summer. The only electrical "event" was when Con Ed was working in the street a few months ago and my house's power went off. Half came back on and I realized that they had left so they had to come back. I recall them saying they had to "bridge" something. They fixed the problem and all my power was on but I didn't test the A/C at the time. But now two of the A/Cs on 20 amp circuits (240v) are dead. Should I call Con Ed or an electrician

I have white faux wood blinds throughout my house. They get dusty from time to time and it's a b**** cleaning them by hand. Is there are more efficient way to get them clean without resorting to a moist towel and wiping them down by hand?

I just recently bought some sod from an awkward place i'll never go back to. The man there seemed knowledgable and told me to drip a little Ivory Soap on the sod. He said it acts as a pesticide and suffocates local pests and he does it every year and his grass is nice.

I would think soap would be harmful to grass. Is this man crazy?

I don't like spraying with chemicals and anyway it doesn't seem to work for long if I try it, plus the old trick of spraying with diluted washing up liquid doesn't seem to work either.
