I have a button thats similiar to a door bell thats inside my garage. I used to just have to press it in (like ringing a door bell) and the garage door would either open completely or shut completely. Now, if I just press it, it begins to shut for about 1/2 second that re-opens again.

The only way I can shut the door is by HOLDING the button in until the door completely shuts.

What happened all of a sudden?

I'm thinking its just time to change the swtich / button (the thing that looks like a doorbell)

Any thoughts or ideas?

How long is their bloom time. I take care of them like babies, fertilizing, watering, etc.

P.S. Contrary to readers' suggestions, the blueing stuff I bought at the nursery didn't work despite using 2 cans of it from early spring thru today. The color of the flowers turned an ugly dull pink/brown.

My screen door has a hydraulic arm that lets it close slowly. The door is metal and the arm attaches with a few screws.

Now, all of the screw holes are loose so the arm either falls off completely or doesn't hold tight. I don't really have a new place to drill because I've done that so many times. How can I have a tight connection with no wiggle?

This is what it looks like now:

I've just moved to the Texas Gulf coast, and people tell me I can get the banana trees in my yard to produce fruit. Can you tell me what I need to do to accomplish this? Also, I am a landscaper, so I have lots of experience with the basics, I just came from an area too far north to produce fruit on the bananas. Thank you, thank you.

We are seriouly thinking about buying a swimming pool. My daughter has been diagnosed with Scoliosis and the doctor said that swimming would be great exercise for her. We moved from Lousiana to Kansas a few years ago and I don't know if it is a lot of trouble to take care of a pool here with the prolonged cold in the winter. Is there a lot to do to winterize a pool and is there any pro's or con's to going with "in the ground" or "above the ground"?

I want my centerpieces to have about three hydrangeas and when I went to the LA Flower Marker I found white hydrangea bunches for about $6 but colored hydrangeas (pink and purple) for about $12. Each bunch was about 4-5 stems, so for white hydrangeas it averages to $1.50-$2 and colored for $3-$3.50 per stem. Is this right? I was looking into having a florist arrange 3 hydrangeas and 6 roses in vases that i have botten (rose Im sure are cheaper around $1.00-$1.50 per stem). They said it would be $35-$40 isnt this way too much, I understand labor cost but are they totally ripping me off or is this how much it will cost? I would think as florist they would even get flowers even cheaper since they buy by bulk right? I am totally wrong by asking them to do it for at least $25-$30?

There are no visible leaks of showers, faucets or toilets. Can hear water running through pipes though. Do not have a recirculating system or water softener. Not sure when it is the water company's issue. Inflow or outflow? Have contacted them (water company) and they are useless until it can be proven it's their concern. Have had no luck when plumber was involved either. Any suggestions for troubleshooting would be appreciated? Would really love to isolate the problem.

A large LARGE roach was in my house yesterday, about the size of a cellphone, with very large antennae. I used bug spray and sprayed him till he died...

Does that mean there are a bunch more?
Where did he come from?
Is it because the people upstairs from where I live was vacant for a while?

I am having serious PTSD over this.....help?

From everything I read online, it seems it would be unsafe to change the dryer cord to a 3 prong cord. What should I do?

I read the vinegar and baking soda work, but how much should I use? Do I just throw it in the washer with the clothes? Does anything else work? I've washed them 3 times and they still smell rank. Help, one of the shirts in that load was my boyfriend's favorite t-shirt!
