Does that mean I can only put (5) breakers at 20amps =100 or (3) 20amps and (2) 30amp breakers? Or does it depend on the number of open slots? Please explain.

I've got a new apartment taht is virtually a blank canvas... All white walls and even a creme colored sofa... I'm not worrying about the kitchen yet, but I do want to go ahead and decorate my living, bed, and bathroom... If you have any ideas or know where I can find any accessories that fit what I am looking for, please let me know!
For the Bedroom, I was thinking pink and green and white.... Though I'm not sure where I could find a comforter and accessories and which should be my main color and which should be accents..
For the livingroom... I don't know, I was thinking the whole jungle//palm tree look that is so in right now? But again, I'm at a loss for how to pull it off and where to find the stuff to decorate it reasonably.
For the bathroom... I've posted asking for help, but only got two answers. I'm really open for whatever I guess. Things I DONT WANT-- Navy blue, duckies, froggies, flowers.

It's time for me to seriously upgrade from a Black & Decker 7.2V(Target) drill to a new one with more power,speed,etc. I'll be using the drill for basic things such as putting up blinds to maybe down the road doing a deck,kitchen,sheetrock,etc. By know means am I going to build a house with it but I do want a drill that will be able to handle small to large projects. I'm looking for something that is lightweight as well.

I picked up a Dewalt 18V (DW959K2)from Lowes on sale for $119. It turns out that it's some sort of model that Lowes doesn't even carry now. I don't know if it's an older model or what. It doesn't have a rubber grip like the current Dewalts leading me to believe that it may not be comfortable after extended usage.

So my dilemma: Do I return it and check out one of the newer XRP Dewalts like the 14.4 or reg 18V(same as mine with grip?) or should I check out something newer like the Makita Lithium-ion 3.5 lps 18v,Panasonic 15.6 (3.5 NI-MH) or other brands? Help.

I have a couple small amounts of mold where my shower tile meets the tub. What is the best way to get rid of it? Already tried Tilex mold remover, didn't work.

I just read about a fertilizer called "phostrogen" to fertilize grapes. I was just wondering if anyone knows anything about it and how to use it. Do you use it around the trunk or is it folier?

My toilet water valve broke and leaked throughout the floor.
I had a friend come over and check out the damage and he said that the floor needs to be replaced becuase it is about to fall through. The water soaked through the floor and damaged the downstairs apartments ceilings. Their ceiling is now falling down and needs to be replaced as well. Will home owners insurance cover this?

I find that just getting in there naked is the best way but I've just recenlty become pregnant and don't really want to be in the confined space breathing those fumes. I also worry about my skin absorbing that nasty cleaning stuff. The bathtub is so much easier but the shower with those tall walls and tight space really poses a problem. One piece of info: I don't have a detachable shower head.

Can the flat segmented bar that joins into the slot in the lock be replaced by a locksmith or do I have to buy a new lock as the bar is too short.

I have somewhat large ant problem at my house, I had my house sprayed when i first bought it and i dident have ant or any sort of bug problems for about 2 years, but now its back. I dont have the money to hire them again (they were very expensive!!)
A guy i work with told me to use boric acid and mix it with 6 teaspoons of sugar and 1 teaspoon of boric acid (powder) so i did and i cut up a sponge and soaked them and put them where i have ant problems. What else works good? he said im going to have to try and resist killing them for a few weeks untill it kills the colony, so far i havent seen a whole lot of ants eating it (i put it out about an hour ago) Can i put it outside as well? I live in the middle of no where so im not really worried about neighbor hood cats drinking it. Any advice would be great!!

They are 100% wool and specify dry clean only.

Do I let it dry and drop it off at the dry cleaners first thing tomorrow?
Put some stain stick on it, and drop it off at the cleaners?
Put some stain stick on it, and actually wash the pants on delicate?
Or do something else?

The top of my wood bedroom door hits the top of the door frame making it hard to close. What is the best way to fix this? Should I sand the top of the door? File the top of the door? Or something else?

I just saw that my kitchen garbage (which is only a few days old) had maggots crawling around in it! I can't do anything with the garbage now since it is the evening, but I double bagged it, then put it out on our upstairs balcony. Will it be okay out there? I also have a closed in area where the stairs are to go downstairs (we live in an upstairs apartment), should I put it there instead? I just don't want them to get worse, but I also don't want flies all over the place.

Or does anyone know of anything I could put in the garbage bag that will kill the maggots??

Thanks!

The mower has all new belts on it also. No matter what you do, it will not go anywhere.

I have three or four little vent pipes coming out of the roof, under the eves (?). What does this mean? When the central AC unit is on, water drips from on of them.
