I re-did my garage recently and made it into a dining room. I was a complete novice and some things aren't exactly "perfect." One of the things is that there is one part of the wall where I didn't have a stud located behind a joint between two pieces of drywall. In my haste to get it complete, I simply thought that the tape would make up for it. (Dumb, I know.) Now, the wall is cracked down that side, and I need to fix it. Is there anything I can do besides tear out that piece of drywall and place a stud there in the wall? I really don't want to do that.

I realize that there are hygiene issues with food in the freezer being heated up but are there also dangers with the freezer failing mechanically if too much heat is introduced at one time?

Most of my clothes,especially whites, get pink stains everytime after a wash. It has ruined many of my husband's T-shirts and mine as well and I almost resorted to throwing them out. We moved into the apartment 6 months ago and the washer-dryer is there already. Even my coloured clothes have problems. My husband thinks it's my washing technique that caused this problem, but I never had this problem when I used an older model before moving to this new place. Can someone please tell me what is wrong? We are contemplating to get a new washer.

I have just bought an appartment and am looking to install a new kitchen. The appartment building is old and does not have mains supply directly into individual appartments just to a main switch board thingy. I want to put an electric wall oven in but have been told that I will not be able to do this because of the electrical requirements. Can someone please tell me if this is true or if there is something I need to look at to establish whether or not I can do this?

It is not a battery. It's been 24 hours and the house has not burned down.

Some was also spilt all down the new fireplace and mantlepiece. Is there any way of getting it off those artificial coal type pieces you get in gas fires? My mate had a new one put in as a gift to her Nan and someone has got candle wax on the pine surround and 'coal' effect pieces in the fire itself. How can we save it? It looked amazing. Now looks waxy! She does not need to be told to put the candles away. Already been done. Will we have to buy some new ''coal'' or is there a way to get rid of it?

My washing machine is a GE Prodigy Profile. It doesn't seem to have trouble agitating but when it gets to the spin cycle the agitator in the center seems to have problems turning. Sometimes it helps to lessen the load but sometimes it doesn't, it also will ocasionally start spinning if you give it a little push start but once again that also doesn't seem to help all the time. Does anyone have any suggestions or possibly even a solution because I am really not very fond of laundry mats!!

I own a 2000 sq. ft. home on a crawlspace. The home does have a water problem of seppage water going under foundation and into the crawlspace area, on average I would say 8-10 gallons of water sit under my home at times, especially around the crawlspace door. The Flooring in my home is really bad unlevel though, we have carpet,linoleum, and laminate flooring.you can walk over certain areas of the floor though and feel it under your feet that it is uneven. I also have some cracks mostly minor that are in the sheetrock mostly over doorways. Here lately I am having a problem when I walk over the floor hearing Popping, like the sub has came up maybe? I'm at a lost with this place. I bought it 2 years ago and its been nothing but a worry wart. My wife and I knew this was a mistake from begining but we love the house so much! anyway, how do I even the floor for one after I try and fix this water problem,what are these cracks in my sheetrock from, and how do I fix the popping of underlayment?
