Home & Garden - 3 August 2007

So my roommate and I are arguing over the temperature in our apartment. I think is more efficient to have the apartment set a one temp(74) and never change it. She insists that we have at 72 when we are there(6pm-7:30am) and then turn it up to 80 when we aren't there(7:30am-6pm). I need help and how to explain to here what is the best way to save some money.

Hi,

I was wondering, how cheap can the manufacturing cost be for a simple designed plastic model.

It is basically size of a credit card width, hight of a cell phone, and it has two huge holes on the left and right side.

Can you tell me?

Thanks!

I tried looking this up on google, but I could not find a good explanation. How do you tell if a branch is a sucker? I have never pruned my tomato plant. It is my 2nd year growing them. Is it too late to prune these branches this late in the growing season?

straight up about 3-4'. What is THAT about. Is that the branch that will produce a rose perhaps. You can tell, I am new at this.
I think last year I may have cut them off so the bush would look more balance.

Is this possible? We are looking for ideas as to how to do this.

Electricians license in Illinois?
Do you need a license in Illinois to be an electrician? I know the city of Chicago has special rules. But I am interested in the rest of Illinois. Someone said you didn't need anything to call yourself an electrician and this just doesn't sound right to me

It's a Snapper Push-Mower, and I hit a pipe and I think I bent the crankshaft. How much will it cost to repair?

I'm getting really sick of my flymo mower... it takes ages sorting out the cables, it keeps breaking and I'm concerned about how much energy it uses.

So I'm thinking about getting a manual mower which I can just get out and push. But I've never used one before... is it hard work pushing them? And do they do a good job?

The main problem with my electric mower is it's useless when the grass gets too long. How are the manual ones at cutting long grass?

One last thing... just out of interest... which do you think kills the most insects and bugs in the grass, the electric or manual?

Weeds have been growing everywhere around my front yard! What can I do to permanently remove them? They grow where the rocks are and in the driveway. I already tried spraying with weed killer but they keep growing back!

We had a power failure and since the stove fails to work properly. The top burners work just fine but the oven will not on bake or broil. When I try to turn the oven on I get an error message of E1 - F1 and nothing will happen. I have been told to turn the circuit breaker off for fifteen minutes and then turn it back on but this fails to fix the problem. The range is only four years old and is model number 665.950141-02. Any ideas as to what could be wrong? Would this have a fuse or circuit breaker in the back that needs to be replaced or reset?
