Name of a climbing rose pale, pale pink flat flowers w/ a tinge of darker pink that form a square and came together like a wedding bouquet, total blooms approx. the same size. Saw it in Siasconset on Nantucket this week. Dying to find out what it is so I can get one for my mom.

I'm not sure what to put on it. I was told to fiberglass it, but I haven't been able to find anyone who does it. The slide is large and empties into my pool. Right now it looks bad. The epoxy is peeling away. It probably needs to be sanded before anything else can be put on it. The question is, what should go on the slide to make it look good and make it slippery when the water runs down it, and won't start peeling and lifting off again?

I have a 2001 GE Spacemaker microwave oven above my stove. Everything works on it except it stopped heating up. What is the problem? And, if I need a part replaced what is it called and approx. how much will it cost me?

(I'm really hoping to have it repaired because due to it's location and the way it is installed it would be very difficult to take it out and replace it.)

Thanks!

A friend of mine sat down in fresh cat urine, she did not know, and then she sat down on my couch! The smell is horrible! Is there a way to get the smell out for good?

My husband and I went to IKEA yesterday to get some ideas. We found A LOT of things we want and I was wondering if anyone has any furniture from IKEA? What do you have? Do you love it or hate it? What do you like or dislike about it?

We are thinking about using IKEA for our kitchen re-do as well as a family room and bedroom.

Oh...and how are the dishes and pots and pans?

Thanks for any info!!

I am going to be painting my bathroom this weekend. I was wondering if I can use the regular matte finish in there or do I have to get a little gloss so it can stand the heat. I never close my bathroom door because it's inside my bedroom so I just close my bedroom door. It never gets THAT steamy in the bathroom because of that. I am just wondering though. Also, do you think it's nice to also paint the ceiling the same color as the walls? Or should I leave it white? I am doing a light pinkish color.

We have a older GE fridge with the freezer on bottom. Last night we noticed our meats where starting to thaw and everything in our fridge was sweating. We turned it all the way up fridge and freezer. This model has letters for freezer and numbers for fridge. After we done that our meats quit thawing and the fridge got cooler. It nots real cold but its not hot anymore.

I have tried Milorganite, placing different objects around the plants, but nothing works so far. I have heard about a motion detector that has a sprayer and when they come around it comes on and sprays water at them but I can't seem to find it and I do not know the name of this item, they say it works. Does anyone know anything about it or have any ideas to save what is left of my hosta? She has managed to eat 30 plants so far.

I wanted to see if I can hire some day-laborers to get yard work done or for some moving help in the future.

There are gaps between my lintel and the brick veneer above, and I fail to see how the brick is suspended. I worry that one day I'll be walking into my garage, and I'll hear a rumbling sound, and then I'll have to run away like a baby deer from the crashing bricks.

Someone told me that they have no true function after serving their purpose as a platform at brick-lay time.

Is there a stain in a shade similar to the color on my vanity I could use to cover up the damage and where could I find it?

My lawn is very yellowed and brown, not to mention short. I realize water will help, but we haven't really had enough rain to make any difference and I do not have a way to water it myself. Is there any home remedy or store product I might be able to apply to help with the growth, color and plushness?
I have an alterior motive for wanting the grass to grow as well. I earn money by cutting grass for my neighbor as well as my dad and since it hasn't needed to be cut in almost 3 weeks now, I have gone without getting paid and I really need the money. Ay suggestions? Thanks

It does not have a garbage disposal, and the drainage is not diminished - there is just a SMELL.

because I don't want them to shut off my gas. Am I responsible for the gas pipes and such underneath the ground on my property or does the gas company fix those? Am I only responsible for what's in my house? I can smell the leak in certain places around my property and I just got my gas bill and its double what it was last month. The actual meter has also been leaking for over a year now. It's right at the front of my property facing the street and you can smell it from the street sometimes when you drive by. I just don't want the gas company to shut off my gas because if I am responsible, I can't afford to pay to have something like that fixed. Any suggestions?

I installed a new receptacle by tapping from a switched 15 amp 110 volt junction box...

Would this be a potential fire hazard when used for flat ironing or any high-amp device?

It's for a livingroom. The furniture is a sage green color and casual material. The carpet is a medium grey color. The curtains are choclate brown/cream, but can easily be changed if you'd like to make a suggestion. Also, everything is a solid, would a print help break it up? I want to keep a warm, casual, but put-together look. Thanks to every and anyone who takes the time to answer. You're opinion is greatly appreciated as I am challenged in this area!
