I have some in my back yard and I cant seem to get rid of it. And was woundering how you could get rid of it. I've tried the spray and it killed it but it came back.

I am replacing an old thermostat in our house and needed some wiring assitance. We purchased a new Honeywell RTH6300B thermostat and the wiring appears easy, now the question.

On the old thermostat we have the following wires:

W
G
Y
RH
RC

Now .. I have a red cable on the RC terminal and a jumper wire from the RC to RH. On the new thermostat it says if you have both R and RC wire to remove the jumper .. Now TECHNICALLY I only have an R wire, so should I be OK connecting the R wire to the R port and leaving the jumper in?

Hi, I have a large garden, approximately one third of an acre and it has a pre-cast concrete sectional garage approximately 6 metres wide x 8 metres long. With it being sectinal it can easily be dismantled and re-built.

The garage is sited 30 metres from the back of my house and on the boundary line at the right hand side and I wish to move it to the boundary line on the left hand side.

Planning permission was originally gained when the garage was erected some 20 years ago.

The reason I want to move it is it is on the wrong side of my property as my drive way is on the left. The surroundin trees are undermining the garage base and think it best to move it away from the trees. Both neighbours do not have any objections.

Do I need planning permission to move the garage.

Thanks

The roof of my expansion on my house is almost two years old.
Can it support my weight (179 lbs.)? I like to just go out there and lay on the roof and chill. The roof is almost perfectly flat with a "slight" slant.

the roof will not cave in on me when i lay on it will it!? ***knocks on wood***

I got this free sewing machine, that I love, and would like to restore it by hand. But there is alot of damage and wonder if it would need professional restoration. Please take a look at it here: http://s57.photobucket.com/albums/g235/crazycattlebarn/?action=view¤t=748f93a6.pbw

and tell me if it can be restored (and where I can get info on how to do it). I am not interested in using it full time for sewing, it would be a nice clean piece in the home. Thanks.

I'm planning on pouring a 7x7 concrete pad for a hot tub. I dont know exactly what type of concrete to buy and do i need to re-enforce the 4" of concrete any further. I'm planning on just digging into the ground 4 inches and then filling it up with the concrete. Dont care how it looks because the hot tub will be surrounded by a deck and you wont see the bottom.

My leaf blower's motor stopped working the other day and causes the circuit breaker to trip every time I switch it on. It's a 1 HP AC Motor. I unassembled it and cleaned it since it was horribly dirty but that didn't solve the problem. There is a small board with the wires welded on to it right before the motor but I don't know what it is. It has like four tiny black cylinders and two orange round things. Could it be the problem, and can the motor run without it if I connected the motor wires straight to the plug?

My tomatoes are are growing like weeds this year but every time I go to pick a red one I find that something has beaten me to it. Only the red, and in fact ALL of the red, every single one,(not green), and always at the bottom center do I find that there is some rotting going on. All green ones are perfect with no sign of any adverse problems. I have never seen this so consistently before, does any one know what is going on?

I know there are some things I can sell, but other items, like old yearbooks, sticker albums, photographs can't be sold. I hate the idea of these things taking up space in a landfill (I love to recycle)...what do I do with all that junk? Do people really want to buy a 20 year old sticker album at a garage sale or on eBay?
