I have not been able to find the Tomato Vine Scented Candles since Illuminations Store at the Mall went out of business. They do not respond online about if they will ever bring back this candle. Does anyone know where I can find such a candle ?

Thanks!!

2400 psi....used to have to hold the gun with both hands now I just go along with one hand on the nozzle and it takes FOREVER to clean just the walkway and I have to practically touch the cement to get it really good. There is a white, green, red, and yellow attachment. The red works really well but is pin point (draw your name type) and would take a REALLY REALLY long time to do anything. Any suggestions. I'm obviously not very technical so I would appreciate detailed information please and Thank YOu Very Much!!!! Engine runs fine just little pressure.

I have a black walnut tree in my back yard. It's only about 25 years old. Over the past few years it's been thinning out. Recently larger branches have been falling out of the tree making it thin out much more and look quite sickly. It's been producing the large quantities of walnuts as usual. The past few summers here have been very dry and I'm wondering if this is playing a big role or not.

Any hope for it, or should it just be taken down? I would prefer not to lose it.

The power appears to be out and the control pad doesn't work, unless i turn a burner knob on. It buzzes for a moment and then the lights come on and flash 12:00. It allows me to set the time, push bake and even set the heat. But no heat in the burner or oven, and if I turn the burner knob off, the whole thing goes dead again. Help, it conveniently happened when the warranty expired.

The water was leaking from my air conditioner and when I found out it was to late. The water actually got on the plug and the plug has a circuit breaker on it. Everytime I put it in the wall now it trips on its circuit breaker, not the socket here at our house. When it dries will it work again or will I have to buy a new air conditioner?

We live in a 46 unit 3 level condo unit. Our boiler room for heat has two boilers for hot water heat and two hot water heaters.
Does this room need an intake fan to bring in fresh outside air and should it be running 24 hours a week and 52 weeks a year.

Ok. This is so gross but we have roaches. We found one last week (texas sized) and called an exterminator. The guy came in and sprayed some stuff and left, without talking to us.
Ever since, I see a roach almost every morning. We always kill it though.

Is our problem getting worse or do you think this stuff is working? I have no idea what he sprayed and now I'm bleaching everything again to try to help the problem myself.

Thanks!

I have several dog urine stains on grout. The grout was laid in May and promptly sealed but the sealing did not prevent the urine from staining it. Any suggestions will be welcome.

Hi. I have a 25 year old Shop-Vac that emits a horrible plastic-smelling smoke when it's running. Also, if you look into the vents on the top of it, I can see a large greenish arc coming from the inside of it. My assumption is that due to the age the motor is finally giving out on it. I'm afraid to use it because I'm afraid further use might cause it to catch fire. I had to rent one a new one to finish the job I had to do. Any info on what might be wrong?

This is the kind I am talking about: http://www.gwdoling.co.uk/img/ih/kcraft/31906.jpg

The bottom section, where you put water, is all crusty with white mineral deposits, even though I use filtered water, not tap water. How can I scrape or dissolve those off? I can't really reach in there with steel wool, and dish brushes don't provide enough friction to be effective.

Does anyone have experience with this? Please don't advise anything that you (or someone you know) haven't tried and found effective.

Last night I pulled a load out of my dryer after drying them. I switched my wet clothes from the wash into the dryer, and it all of a sudden wouldn't turn on. It makes no noise whatsoever. I flipped the breaker twice, and still nothing. What could be wrong?

It's latex house paint, and has been in there for about a year or so. Not a large spot, but still annoying. It's not shag type, but the flat, thin carpet you have in an office.
I've tried Goo Gone and Goof Off, and scraping it with a stiff brush hasn't worked either. Any little trade secrets?

The roof on my dad's back room has been leaking pretty badly for about two years. He's put tarps on the roof itself and on the ceiling, but that no longer stops the leak. The extension's roof is flat and shingled. At this point the water damage is so bad the ceiling beams are exposed. He hasn't called a roofer because he's on a fixed income and is terrified of the costs. Anyone have any alternatives to offer? Thank you!

My boyfriend had some friends over and someone kicked the door when it was locked, so the side where the doorknob is all busted. I heard wood putty is best for fixing holes in the doors but that would be hard to do since the hole where the doorknob goes through is all busted as well. What would be the best way to fix it without buying a whole new door? Thanks for the help!
