My grandma has an AC in Palm Desert, CA where it gets ridiculously hot during the summer.
She went out there and it wasn't working so she called someone and they put some freon (I'm not sure how to spell it) and then it worked. The guy told her she would need to replace it. I want to go out there but its too hot to stay without an AC. What are the chances of the AC working.

I have a collection of playing card decks. I would like to display some of the most unique decks the main room of my house, but this presents a problem. The more unique decks have a different picture on the face of each card, and in order to really show these decks off, people would at least need to be able to browse them.

So, any suggestions on how to display card decks?

I've heard that you shouldn't have seams over a dishwasher, so I am going to screw both to the nearest cabinet. But what is the correct way to do this? Do I need to bevel the edges of each plywood board to fit into eachother? Or can the factory edges just sit next to one another? I need to have a flush system, but am not sure how to reinforce the base cabinet (it's very thin and I don't know if both plywood boards will be able to be screwed in). Is there a standard way to do this? Thanks so much.

because we have noisy neighbors behind our house. There is a short wooden "good neighbor" style fence between us, but it doesn't muffle anything out.

I'm thinking maybe something tall and bulky planted close to our side of the fence. Please include plant names, links to pictures if you have it, and any other information such as plant care.

Thank you for any and all ideas.

We've got this textured wall that the previous owners did. It looked like they did it to avoid properly taping and prepping the drywall for paint. It was not done well. We painted over it a couple of years ago to see what kind of effect it would have, but it didn't help. We want to get rid of the the texture entirely. Other than plastering it all with drywall compound (which would be extremely time consuming), what can we do? Keep in mind that it has a few layers of paint on it.

I just saw in a store little plastic bands that can be worn around the wrist or ankle (kind of like flea collars for pets) that are said to repel mosquitos. Has anyone tried them? Do they work at all?

Thanks for all your answers.

I bought a Whirlpool refrigerator about 2 months ago, and I'm beginning to think I got a lemon. It is once again (this is the fourth time) not making ice. A few days ago, it stopped dispensing water (out of the blue, of course) for almost a day. I have no water pressure problems, no toddlers to mess with it and screw it up, and it starts working again on its own each time these things happen. The random no ice thing is a big problem, as it's a side-by-side, and the freezer space is limited enough without having ice cube trays cluttering it up. Anyway, my question is, has anyone else had problems that magically go away on their own and for which there are no apparent reasons with a Whirlpool refrigerator? Is there anything I should know before I call their customer service on Monday - such as, any excuses they might use to make it appear that their product isn't the problem? Any and all advice will be greatly appreciated. My sincere thanks, in advance, to anyone who answers :)

I've just painted a bedroom that was a dark blue on the bottom and a light blue on the top. The colour of the paint is a burnt umber/rust orange. I've just painted the second coat, but it obviously needs a third to cover the dark blue section. How long does the paint need to dry before I can paint the third coat?

I've heard that copper sheeting works...does anyone have any experience with this? Is there anything else that's non-toxic? (Read environmentally friendly, organic)

How does dry cleaning not damage clothing that is delicate? They obviously don't use water/soap/etc. but then how does stuff get clean?

The old chuck wrench method worked well but all the new drill chucks are hand tightened and do not hold well. Bits and drills fall out or won't turn when you try to drill a hole.

Thank you everyone for telling me about WD40 removing the very sticky residue left when you remove that tape. It was even all over my hands and it took it off too. Any other uses for WD40?

Don't want to go through the expense of renting "tearing out" machines to get rid of bamboo and brush in vacant field. Does anyone know of a "home remedie" such as (I heard of using ) salt (?) or something that may not be a chemical if there is such a thing. I am sure there must be farmers or gardeners who would know of something that they use so as not to contaminate the soil with a chemical. If all else fails, I will have to contact the Department of Agriculture or my local Extension Service of Rutgers School of agriculture for a possible solution. Thanx!

Tried to start, it did, but when put in gear it would just die. It done this repeatedly. Can or will it just dry out if left in the sun? Is it ruined? Is there some way I can get it running again? I am female and not really repair savvy. Thank you for any help that you can give.

If you need a 1"x7.5" cedar plank you would have to buy the 1"x10" not the 1"x8" (which is about 1"x7.25"). The leftover strip is essentially waste. That's a screwed-up measurement system!
