I have a 2002 Kenmore 110.23922200 super capacity plus washer and a matching 2002 Kenmore 110.62822101 super capacity plus electric dryer.
They both work excellent and they have been trouble free for me!

I slightly broke the stem of my tomato plant. So I pushed the stem up to the branch it was connected to hoping it will still get nourishment from the main branch. Do you think the branch will still grow and produce?

I want to snip the end of the vines on my pumpkin plants to stop them from going where I don't want them to grow in my garden. Will this make my plant die?

They are Endless Summer variety and I have pruned them the same way every year. I'm confused. They are big, healthy shrubs that look great, just no blooms yet. Very disapointing; especially when my next door neighbors are HALF the size and half numerous blooms! I don't get it! HELP!!!

One night my neighbor was outside with a flashlight near his electric meter. I know him fairly well & walked over to see him fiddling around with the interior dials. The glass cover was completely off!!!!!

I asked what the hell he was doing and he told me I better not tell anyone. I agreed and he taught me everything he knew. This guy was saving thousands a year!!!

I tuned mine back shortly afterward but ran into a problem as the little pointer needle for the '100 KPH' broke right off when I tried to turn it backwards. There is definitely no way to get it back on there are even some weird coils sticking out now.

To make matters worse all the other dials seem to be moving faster now (I assume charging me more). I put the cover back on but am worried. My neighbor is vacationing in Europe for the next 3 weeks so he can't help me.

How do I fix this? Are there any electricians that can help me with an answer? Actually anyone that can help me?

Has anyone done this? I can't think of anything that would go wrong. I would use outside electrical cord of proper gauge. Protect it with conduit. Put the window ac unit in the custom window I will cut out in my dog house. build a cage so my dog can't get to the unit. (chicken wire or somthing) Possibly fix a breaker or fuse of some sorts just in case. Probably have to clean out dog hair daily from filter as not to plug it up with debrie and dog hair. Can this be done? Is there anything I'm not looking at? Am I going to kill myself or my dog? Also I was wondering if my 5000 btu unit would freeze up being a small dog house? It's way hot though and the dog house isn't very insulated. The door is just a clear vinyle flappy door. Thanks

I have owned and operated a landscaping company for the past 10 years. I have been maintaining residential properties and I am interested in expanding to commercial maintenance and landscaping installation. I have insurance and the equipment to handle the jobs, but have no idea where to look for them. Is there a website or something that would tell me what jobs are coming up for bid so that I might be able to prepare something? Thanks for your help.

Strange question this one but I am working with an interior design company that want to explore using low energy lighting in their projects but want to be more imaginative than just the standard coiled bulbs. What are the design constraints on this type of bulb if they are made to order? Has anyone seen any really interesting lighting solutions that are are also energy efficient?

Does anyone have a design contact inside the lighting industry? I look forward to your answers.

I've heard conflicting messages. My pans are scratched and worn some, I really don't want to replace them yet if I don't have to.

Has anyone heard of "real" reports of danger of Teflon wear?
thanks!

I have an Hibiscus of the tree variety and for the last week it is thinning. I keep it on my back deck in i'd say... 3/4 sun, and it is in a pot. I live in West Virginia. Is this normal? Is it just how this plant acts around this time of year when it's not blistering hot? I water it about every 2/3 days. There used to be like 5/6 blooms, now there's one small one. What should I do? What can be the cause of this?

1) i need to pick it up at my local hardware store/lowes/HD/menards etc.
2) if it came with more than one button, that'd be great (front door/and back door)
3) i dont want to do any wiring, so if there is a wireless one, that's what i'm looking for
4) and easy to press/big button/ would be great for persons with limited vision
5) i dont need a fancy chime/or long range, it's just for a small house
6) I'm on a budget, so something affordable would be nice
7) if it could work in cold weather that'd be good too
Thanks

When I plug my Dell laptop into outlets on the 2nd floor of my home the pointer becomes really jumpy, and hard to control. I would assume it is a computer problem, but it is only on the 2nd floor outlets, and I had an HP which did the same thing. What can I check to see if my house is wired incorrectly? All other appliances seem to work ok.
