I am possibly moving within a month and its the first time I'll be out of my parents house. My head is already spinning with all of the details and what I might forget to pack. Also, what can I get rid of and what things should I buy to be on my own? Are there any websites with good checklists for these kind of things?

I need to know all about this. I got it used with no information. I want to know the max welding rod I can use with it and really anything else you think is pertinent.
If there is a website you know of that could have the information I would greatly appreciate it.
It is a 110V Model 070

I washed 2 of my favourite jumpers 2 days ago, then hung them out to dry yesterday. There were a couple of showers of rain while they were out. When I unpegged them, they'd both gone all creased and crinkled - what did I do wrong? Thanks in advance from a novice bachelor!

When I turn on the hot water at my kitchen sink and then turn the cold on too much, the faucet shuts off and I have to turn it off and try again. Do I need to just go buy a new faucet? It is kinda old.

I have a spring attached to the throttle linkage, that must attach to the choke linkage on the other end. I can find no hole where it might attach. This is for a Murray push mower Model # 22541X92D w/ a Briggs engine. The loose end of the spring is shaped like a paper clip, approx 3/4" long, I assume it is shaped like this to let the governor to work freely. There is a loop in the governor connecting rod, could it attach there somehow? The choke does not operate at present when the throttle is moved.

I need new sod (St. Augustine) for my lawn since most of the grass died and weeds are everywhere, do I need to clean up the existing lawn before laying the new sod on it or can I just lay the new sod on the existing lawn? I'm not sure how this works, any help would be appreciated!

I've never heard of it before- but I would be more interested in dying the upholstery to the sofa if possible.

I have a Hoover steam cleaner with and upholstery attachment that normally does a GREAT job, but this sofa is nearly white. With a mechanic for a husband and 4 cats, it just isn't working but the couch itself is in good shape and I can't afford to pay someone to reupholster it or buy a new one. I've also tried every cleaner possible, and even if there was something out there that would work the maintenance is just way to much to keep up with in my household!

I already have spent quite a bit on several different sofa covers- nice name brand ones too, Unfortunately I really really don't like them because the shape of the sofa. None of them look right at ALL and ALL of them, even when they claim they shouldn't, just slip all over the place and look even worse!

Does anyone know if there is a dye that I could use to darken up the entire sofa so stains won't look as bad

Hi, I live in a 3bed terraced house in Warwickshire, U.K. My next door neighbour died just before xmas and his house has been empty since then. The other side of his house is a private members club which there are plans to demolish and build new houses on the site. I have now heard that the developers are going to buy the empty house next door and demo it for more land. As it is actually attached to my house I was wondering how much disruption this will cause and if anyone has had this happen to them and how they found it. I am hoping that if this plan does happen I may possibly be able to persuade the developers to allow me pedestrian access down the side of my (then) end of terrace as this would be great.
Any help would be appreciated. Cheers.

I’ve been told that you should line up the direction of spray with that dot of paint, but don't know why.

The house that I just bought just had its home inspection done. When he was doing that he saw that the safety overflow pipe was made of PVC piping instead of the required copper pipe. The reason was that the PVC pipe cannot withstand the required temperature of 210 degrees. I'm wondering about how much will it cost to replace the PVC pipe with copper pipe? Just a rough estimate so I can figure out if it is worth asking the price to go down.

The disposal how been working. This is a weekend place. I always turn on water first then flip switch before putting anything in it. When I flipped on the switch it hummed for a second or so & then nothing twice in a row; so I didn't put anything in it. I checked that it was plugged in under the sink & that plug-ins work properly. I also found what I think is the re-set button; it didn't help.

Can the grinding blade get froze up? Is it possible there's a wire loose in the wall switch? I need to fix this myself without curling my hair! Thanks much for all suggestions.

I am buying a house and the water heater is the orginal water heater. The house was built in 1991, making the water heater about 15 years old. I was told the average lifespan for a water heater is 10-12 years. My house inspector looked at it and said there was no current issues. Should I be concerned about getting it replaced or asking for an allowance for a new one?
