Hi,

I need to be able to print my own window and car stickers from my home printer.

Is anyone aware of any products i.e special paper that allows me to do this?

I need the sticker to be on the inside of the window and be visible from outside!

The cold water pressure is fine. The water pressure everywhere else is also fine. I figure I'm going to take the faucet apart but thought I'd ask first.

...also, the shut-off valves are fully open under the sink.

Thanks.

It's about 95% brown and after 4 years in the earth never took to rooting. Was thinking if I changed the location it would come back.

I bought a cherry tomatoe plant from Wal-Mart about one -two months ago. They finally started to produce, ripen..then the bottoms rot, and the tomatoe falls off the vine. I do not know what is going on. Has anyone had any similar experiences?

We have a hideously discolored wall of brick in our home which also contains a fireplace. I would like to sheetrock over it and add a wood mantle around the opening of the fireplace. Any suggestions or warnings on this????

Energy smart bulbs are the spiral compact fluorescent ones. I have been wanting to try them out because I know they do last longer and save you money on your utility bill but they are so much more in price compared to a regular pack of bulbs that I hate to do it for no reason.

I took my family to a park where instead of sand, the play yard had a soft, rubber ground plane. Anyone know what that is?

I have a few stubborn spots of the wallpaper backing and glue that was left over when the paper was torn down. I was using DIF to remove it, but I was wondering if there is any common household solvent/cleaner/solution that might work just as well.

I have a Ryobi hedge trimmer powered by a 2-stroke engine. It is stalling on start - I prime it w/ the full choke and it turns over fine, but when I start it w/ partial choke, it runs normally for about 1-2 seconds, then stalls.

After the recent deluge I have discovered a few cracks in my metal guttering. I have tried a gooey mastic substance but it so thick and messy and just ends up in big blobs. Is there a sort of metal type paint (other than hammerite) that is thick enough to cover the cracks but pliable enough to brush on. Come on you proffesionals help me out I can't afford the 3 grand theyv'e quoted me to replace all mu guttering.

Hi, i have a slight problem.... about 5 yrs ago when my sister still lived at home she decided to redecorate... using a sponge. now i've got the big room and i want to redecorate again. i've already sanded down some of the wall but it's not easy to do that for the whole 25msquared!! and even the bits i have done take forever to sand until they look normal!!
I have been using pretty rough sandpaper so it's probably not going to help to go and find rougher stuff ( if such stuff exists, without being pebbles stuck to paper ), i've already been told that using polycell stuff to paint over it is a bad idea by a real ex-painter, and he suggested just using warm water and a paint scrapper.. This didn't really work that well either... it went right through 2 the plaster.. and I'm not sure if thats a good thing or a bad thing? is it a good idea to just take all the paint off the walls like that? would it be possible 2 use a paint stripper gel on walls? all the references ive found refer 2 wood
