Sooo.. I have a new color scheme idea for my living room.. This is my furniture http://img106.imageshack.us/my.php?image=20070515new0068jo5.jpg
And I think I have decided to go with light blue walls.. I was thinking of using lighter brown/ almost khaki accent colors (throw pillows, curtains)..and maybe some dark brown? But will it look ok with black end and coffee tables?

I've got to replace an old valve (pre-1976) under my bathroom sink. Just my luck, they changed the threads and the old compression nut will not fit the new valve. I have the tool I need, the "compression sleeve nut puller," which slightly resembles a wine-bottle opener, with two wings that attach behind the nut, and a center crank that should pull the nut off. However, when I try to use it, the wings snap off of the nut as I turn the crank, rather than pulling the nut & sleeve off. Any ideas (besides paying a professional)?

I installed a new septic tank underneath my home on the beach in Malibu in 1996. It recently passed inspection.
How long should this tank which was installed by a very reliable company last?

I 've been living in my new apartment for two weeks and i noticed a lot of bites on my daughters arm. I took her to the doctor and he said they are bed bug bites! I inspected her room and sure enough there they were. I tried to spray them with raid, I even fumigated the room but they are still there! what should I do?

They are planted beside each other and clearly share the same problem. I don't see any greenfly.

Hi all, I really have a stumper. The waste water drain line to my washer keeps backing up when the washer tries to spin it out. I have replaced the vent system so that it has suction, I have taken out the p trap, all of the lines are slanting down hill and it is still backing up water. All of the other plumbing in the house works great except the water being drained from the washer. The is no blockage that I am aware of. The house was recently purchased and by the looks of the laundry room floor that I just had to replace, noone else has been able to figure out this problem either. Suggestions are extremely welcome. I am at a loss.
Thank you for your time.

Do you just pick some of the flowers and then dig a hole put the flowers in and cover it up? Or do you need seeds to grow them, if so where do you get them and how long does the bush take to grow?

The question states it all. I have some white clothes that would look better black, so I was wondering how I could dye those clothes black.

Thanks!
