Home & Garden - 8 July 2007

For a few days the central air fan was grumbling, squeaking loudly etc. and today it finally quit altogether. I turned it off for awhile, then turned it back on and it began to turn slowly but then quit abruptly. So, is it more than likely the fan motor has died completely and if so how much do you think it's going to run me to fix? Thanks.

We recently moved into a house that was built in 1956..anyway..in the main bathroom, the lady that used to live here put up a wallpaper border of grass and flowers that matched her sponged Easter egg colored walls (yes, really..pink, blue, yellow and green)..I am removing the border with Dif but when I put ANY pressure on the wall with the plastic scraper..the latex paint is coming up, but only where the border was. It's going right down to the plaster, so now I'm not sure how to rectify the difference between the painted wall and the plaster. I am being extremely careful not to damage the plaster. Question: Do I sand the wall where the paint meets up to the plaster and then use a primer for both OR do I use some kind of compound over the paint/plaster and THEN sand and THEN prime..WHEW!!! HELP!!! Any and all suggestions are welcome!

I'm looking for a double sized duvet cover in brown with a faint pinstripe, light blue if possible.
I'm in the UK, so if online they must ship over here

Thank you :o)

I have seen on the net that you can get a cubicle that doesn't need tiling but they seem to be multi function items. Can you buy just a shower cubicle totally enclosed no tiling which doesn't require electric? Who sells these if they exist?

It has been stored for 18 months and I've just rolled it out in my new house only to find the golden dead moths there. I am afraid of infesting the rest of the silk or woolen carpets. Help!

Starting 2 nights ago when the upstairs toilet is flushed, there is a loud noise and rumbling vibration (sounds/feels like there's a jackhammer outside) that lasts for about 10 seconds (feels like forever). Doesn't matter what's in the toilet...can just be a "test flush" and rumbling still happens. First time it happened, I was down stairs, my wife was upstairs, she flushed and I thought someone was in our backyard with powertools. This cant be good...any ideas? Thanks!

I have a tiny kitchen (about 12 ft x 6ft) and I'm thinking of remodeling. I've seen those stovetops that can be installed on to a counter with drawers or a dishwasher underneath and I think I want that instead of the oven/stove combo everyone seems to have. Since we use the toaster oven for everything the regular oven never gets used and seems to be wasting a lot of space. But that's because there are two residents - I'd imagine that someone with kids would need an oven, right? Anyway, would not having an oven in the kitchen be a problem when I eventually go to resell the house?

How much do the average person charge per yard to install basic carpeting. I know they differ for different types of flooring.

I just want a range...such as 2.00 dollars per yard or whatever

Wanna know if i'm getting ripped or not
