Home & Garden - 29 June 2007

Im not too familiar with all the specs of electric refrigeration units for homes but is it possible one of these can make a loud pop or explosion sound that louder of a muffler backfire or as loud as a high powered gun? Im if so the location on the ground between 2 homes can amplifi it but if can this be possibly what im hearing? Im sure it is and if so does anyone know why? any contractors here, refer repair pros here know? Many thanks. Im sure its no fireworks etc because I was outside one day and i heard it. Im sure it is but why does it do that? i would like to find out before a fire or something possibly happens. I also dont wanna have my head next to it if it goes, dont know if itll make me deaf lol. but thanks in advance for help, very appreciated!

Just today, I bought a rose called Fame, its a Hybrid Tea Rose, and it says Grandiflora Rose, whatever that means. It has 3 stems one the root, with 2 flowers blooming. I didn't get to plant it yet today, because there was a huge storm which just passed. The wind was so bad it took the cushions and flew them 5 yards away. my stupid dad, throught the cushions into the shed. right were i had the rose which i was trying to protect from the heavy wind and rain. The cushion hit one of the stem and it "cracked". It wasn't falling off or anything or even cut, it was just hanging over, 4 inches below the bloom and 6 inches above the root. I'm doing everything possible to keep it alive, I put two tooth picks around the crack and taped it, and then made sure it would stay straight with a peice of wood and a string, then I watered it. Will it be ok? I'm really worried, since it was so new. Will this rose, and its stem survive? Will it ever flower again? Thanks in advance.

in the wall to from the living room to the exterior of an old brick home??
Basically, there would be a hole in the wall if the stove was removed.
The gas has already been shut off, and basically this stove is an eye soar.

Thanks!

I have a rain bird sprinkler system. The water pressure has been very low. Unlike Wisconsin, we've almost no rain for about a month and a half or so now. the sprinkler water pressure is very low, the pump is full of water, and very little comes out. What might be wrong. I know I can call the landscaper, but honestly I dont' trust him, and I want to do what I can to figure out the problem first, and hopefully I won't have to call him.

My son wants a Spiderman room and I am doing my best to find anything with Spiderman. My daughter is getting a Disney Princess room and Home Depot sells a princess door to install for her bedroom door. Has anyone ever seen any stores sell a spiderman door. I know we will have to change it later on and that's okay. Also, do you know where they sell a lot of spiderman decor?

I have a couple of suitcases that kind of stink and I was wondering what would be best for taking the smell out? Anything I can just leave in there or do I need to clean it with something? Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

It has a twisted trunk, gnarled branches with big green leaves that fall off each fall. Kind of looks like the tree in the Harry Potter movie, only not as large, 7 ft tall is all it is, and not as aggressive. The twigs are twisted also. Seems like once it leaves out each year, new branchs appear with new leaves

We just put an offer on a house that we absolutely love other then the bathroom. The current bathroom is dated with robin egg blue tub, toilet and sink, what color walls would look good with this blue other then white? We are going to be working on a tight budget for awhile until I finish school so having them refinished is out of the picture for now any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. The tub is still in great shape other then the color.

We have a miniature rose bush that's pretty healthy, although it has cobwebs on it. Just recently I went to go get rid of them but there are a bunch of really really small white bugs crawling all over the plant!

What are these things? Are they harmful? How do I get rid of them?
