We want to put laminate or hardwood floors in our living room. But we want to get a good price or a discount flooring company that is reliable.....we live near Decatur, IL. Where is the best place either on line or store? What are the advntages and disadvantages of either flooring?

I am trying to install a new thermostat, and my fuse panel does not have a fuse labeled for the HVAC system. Am I missing something? I have looked for another, separate fuse panel and there is not one. Where could I cut the power to the system so I can do the change safely?

I bought this on sale and it did not come with a tag, I was hoping someone would know what it is so I don't have to go back out to the nursery to get the name.

(ignore the black magic elephant ears poking out of it)

First of all it gets pepper all over the table. I have one that has its grinding part at the top so when you use it you turn it upside down. Then set it back down with the grinding part at the top and it never makes a mess. Doesn't this bother anyone else?

I've been experiencing some problems with my grill lately. Before I changed out the tank my grill wouldn't get very hot even on high, but this wouldn't happen everytime. One night the burners went completely out and I assumed that it was out of gas, but now I'm starting to think that the regulator just finally completely failed. I went and got a new tank and hooked it up and the regulator started shooting out gas. Is this normal at first or is it time for a new regulator?

the spring trap worked but i have only caught one - i have traps - glue traps - contraptions - am using peanut butter - i place them one inche from the wall.

after i caught one action slowed down - now i see more activity but unable to catch them - i even heated up the peanut butter to make it more attractive.

the one i caught was almost big enough to be a rat - but if i had rats they would at least spring the traps - how long does it take?

I used to have a nice green thick yard and then one morning I saw some yellow patches and noticed that It was red thread. I was mowing the grass at 3 inches, Watering only twice per week in early morning (5 AM). The grass gets fertilized 5 times per year by a professional company. Everything was fine until we got 3 straight days of rain with little to no sun. My question is, Will Scotts fungicide effectivly remove the red thread from my yard? I have no kids, no pets and I am not worried about any potential hazards from the fungicide.

It would be nice to get someone, not a "stranger" to do some grocery shopping for me, check my mail/newspaper deliveries, do recycling, some cleaning (minus mopping floors and cleaning my windows). Any suggestions/ideas?
