Is it easy to change it from one that draws air in from a vent inside the house to one that draws air from outside? What about heat pump(s)? Thanks in advance!

My front lawn is probably 80 - 90% weeds. I have a few patches of fescue and crabgrass. My plans are to wait untill end of summer /fall (Sept.-Oct.) aerorate, weed n feed, and spread seed. Am I headed in the right direction or am I clueless? I reside in middle Tennessee.

I have two big planters in front of my home which had plants in it that died. The owner didn't keep the water on while the house was up for sale. The planters already have a watering system in place. I was told that all I would need to do is remove the dirt from the planters, put in soil, and then plant my annuals. Is this correct? Do I have to remove ALL of the dirt or can I do the bottom half dirt, the top half soil? Also, since I live in the desert I think annuals would be easiest and once the annuals die, do I need to remove the soil they were in or just the dead plant and put in a new one?

We live near Phoenix Arizona and usually our lawn looks beautiful but this year my husband accidently put a grass killing fertilizer down and though we have re-seeded and re-fertilized with regular fertilizer... what little grass was there is dying and the yard looks yellow and there are bare spots. What can we do? It's been 4 months since he put the grass killing fertilizer down. Whats worse is we are trying to sell our house right now and the yard looks horrible.

I have a Sharp R-85ST Combination Microwave/fan oven/grill which I have been using very happily for about 1 1/2 years, using the fan oven at least once a day and odd 1 minute bursts from the micro to heat toddler's milk.

The turntable has stopped turning! What does this mean, is everything about to conk out on it? I am aware that the turntable helps stuff cook evenly, especially when using the microwave, I am just worried that the whole thing will now die on me! And is it worth getting fixed? It wasn't cheap, and I am on a limited income! Can't do without it, especially the oven, as I said I use it daily. I am worried that it would have to be taken away to be fixed. Yes I DO have a normal cooker but I have a disabled child who cannot understand danger, I placed my Sharp well above her reach for safety, I really can't do without it...

Engineered hardwood floors on concrete. We just pulled up the old carpet and there is over spray paint from the builders on the concrete. Does that need to be completely scrapped up before applying the vapor barrier/glue?

I think if i painted it a blue color it would look too blue. I don't want the room to look dark. But i don't want the walls to be too white. I usually like really bold colors.

Thanks

I have a carrier cooling system. I need help there are 6 color wires.
1. red
2.blue
3.brown
4.white
5.yellow
6.green
now here is the issue I have, the thermostat is also from Carrier and it works fine to turn on the furnce but not the compressor outside.. Right now there are only four wires connected.
1.red
2.white
3.yellow
4.green
no matter what I do right now the compressor would not turn on.. but when I turn the control switch off and on( from fuse box) the compressor moves a little..so at this point I know the thermostat is not controlling the compressor at all.. what should I do? does the blue and brown wires make any differences at all?

So I am moving to the basement of this house and its like an apartment with room, bathroom, my own door, etc. Only, I am scared b/c Im going in there with my 5months twins and the basement has practically been a storage for a lot of junk! I am scared that it might be too dirty since it hasn't been cleaned in years and who knows what's down there!?

I wanted to see if anyone knows of I think its a machine or something that I get to check if everything is good in the air (a friend told me about this) something to check to see if its good to live down there. She's just heard of it also and doesn't know if there is an actual thing. Anyone know. Please Help. Thanks.

The city's sewer water backed up into our brick cellar. We've closed off the drain, and we've cleaned up most of the water with a shop vac. Does anyone have ANY idea how to get rid of this nasty stench?

I would REALLY appreciate any suggestions you may have!!

We got a baby boy coming soon and I would like to make his room extra cute. We rent, so I cannot paint any of the walls. I am also on a budget for materials. So far, I have all the furniture and the crib bedding is red, blue, green and yellow in a patchwork quilt design with jungle animals on it. my main color is green though, The yellow and red are more of accent colors. The room has all the potential to be adorable with all the essentials in it. I just need a little direction. Any ideas?
