I keep all of my extracurricular activities on a calendar in my kitchen. Unfortunately, it is nailed on a wall and doesn't look very attractive. I prefer not to use a planner. I need something in front of me in a space that I see often. I have heard of message centers but wonder if they have calendar centers? I am looking for a way to "display" my calendar more neatly and creatively than just hanging on a wall with a rusty nail. Any ideas? Or do you have a better organizing tip?

I working on 2 sump pump problems. 1) I believe my sump pump was installed too close to the top of the pit. 2) I strongly believe that the pump has been sucking pea gravel installed under the pump.

My pit doesn't appear to have a hard bottom. The house is 50 yrs old. The pit was filled with pea gravel and the pump's base was sitting on a small piece of 2" thick cinder block, 23 inches below the top of the pit.

I dug out the gravel and discovered what I think is the end of the pit's side, 32" below the pit's top. The bottom at this depth is mud. The vertical distance from the pit's bottom to the turn in the pipe is 57". (Pit is 14" across.)

The manual for the pump says that the pump pit should be cleaned out of any rocks, gravel, etc.

So... do I need to put pea gravel in the bottom for some drainage reason? If so, how deep, and do I cover this with a larger piece of block to keep the gravel down? Or can I drop a 12" piece of paver onto the mud?

I have recently had to pay our local council £88.00 for covenant consent, which will allow me to build a conservatory. My house used to be a council house before a property developer bought the whole street, refurbished the houses and then sold them privately. That was 1991. The council have told me I dont need full planning permission but I will need this covenant consent. Can anyone tell me exactly what this is please ?

I have a stained glass that was made for my bathroom window. I have since moved and would like to insert it in my new window but it's too small length~wise. I would like to add to the length. Does anyone know someone that can do this kind of work? I live in Philadelphia and the yellow pages were not helpful. THANKS:)

My apartment would have a roach maybe once every 6 months. But maybe every other month, a centipede or two would pop up. Why would this be, what attracts them here?? I live in the city, not in a rural area. Do centipedes bite or harm you??? I cant stand it, I would rather have any other creature running around other than centipedes.

We have a hummingbird feeder, and of course, the bees are there. So whenever a hummingbird comes up to get a sip, the bees scare them away. How can I get rid of the bees w/o doing anything to the hummingbirds??

Over the last two summers all of my potted plants have died, except one. I don't know what is going on but they have all started out strong then something is getting to them and killing them. The literally just start shiverling up and dying. Does anyone have an idea as to what's happening and what product I can use to stop it and save the one that's trying to die on me now. It's a flowering plant my youngest daughter planted for me in school for Mother's Day and it was doing great at first but bit by bit it has started to wither also......HELP!!!!!!!!!!

I noticed colored s/f for sale. They are not spray painted. Are they watered with colored water or possibly cut then placed in colored H20 to absorb the color? When placed in a vase of water the water turned color. They are red and orange. Anyone know how to achive this? Thanks.

Tested compression, 100+ psi easy. Have dismantled and cleaned carby twice! It's a Tillotson carby, blew through all its passages, fuel is definitely reaching cylinder because of smell and fuel on spark plug. Tested spark, it sparks regularly, but I have no way of knowing if spark timing is right. I'm using a new spark plug and new fuel. So I have fuel, spark and compression, it just won't fire. Even pouring fuel into carby there is only some very slight sign of firing. What's my obvious mistake? Is there some thing I've missed?

Please don't say to call an electrician. It's Sunday morning. I am buying a house that needs a fuse panel upgrade to install central air. What is involved in this and what is a ballpark price? Thank you for any serious help

Hi, for the last couple of weeks all the clothes i wash in my washing machine come out stinking!!! Raw, stuffy smell as if they had been there for 2 monthes, not for 2 hours. I have tried chaning my washing powder and my conditioner, different combinations but still that smell is still there. It is really pissing me off!!! Ok, I have other problems, but it is really imprtant for me when I do the washing that clothes smell nice. I checked teh filter too - it is fine, some water came out and that is it. The machine is about 5 years old, but it works fine, it doesnt seem to have any otehr problems. Right now I am covering up the smell in the tumble dryer with some lenor stuff, but it is still not the same. PLease help or I am going to smash that thing!!!

Yesterday, I was "squatting" (yes, I'm a short girl, I can squat comfortably) and pulling out weeds that were overgrowing on between the road and sidewalk. They look UGLY!

Is there a TOOL out there to pull them out? I started off by the neighbors side (because he helps out my biological parents when it SNOWS with his snow-blower), and all the squatting made me tired (I have vertigo from an '02 brain injury)...there has to be a tool out there! What is it called?
