I would like to locate a model that attaches to a wall and then the pans hang from the bottom of the shelf--something under 150 dollars. This may be a bit ambitious but it would be solve some storage issues in my rather sad galley kitchen.

I have a small wood stove and have a hard time maintaining putting wood in it all the time to keep the fire going. Can I use something that will keep the fire going for a long time - like gas logs?

i'm trying to buy a house and im trying to figure out if stucco is more cheaper than a brick house. I heard that stucco is cheap cement so is that the reason? Is it less sturdy than a brick house?

Our backyard slopes toward our house right now. And our home is lower than the road and ally. There is an ally entrance to our backyard. I'm concerned that a good, long rain storm will bring water down the ally and into my yard. What are some possible landscape solutions?

Having a problem with my water, in the middle of a shower the water slowly started losing pressure then finally stopped. After about 15-20 min. the water came back on but was spitting like there was air in the lines. That lasted for a short while ( few hours) then everything was fine for about 2 days. At that point we had a repeat episode ( water stopping during shower) now I am getting no water from the kitchen sink and limited water from the bathroom. Any advice would be appreciated. Oh, I do not know how deep our well is, but do know it is the second well dug on this property in the last 40 years.

The water has nowhere to go but down and it does, just really really slow! There is probably so much hair down there. The best part is its a shower for the upper body and a bath for the feet! LOL please help!

I got a lemon tree thorn stuck in my hand, and pulled it out, and it is unreasonably sore for such a small thorn. My hand has been swollen and sore for two days now. There does not seem to be any infection - hence I am wondering whether there is poison in lemon tree thorns.

I moved here a few months ago, and everything seemed fine. I have city water. I have noticed that my laundry (even with dryer sheets) comes out smelling a little like ammonia. I have also noticed that the area around homes that have well water has the same distinct odor. The water in my master bath sink has the same odor... sort of like ammonia. When you wash your hands or face, they will have that smell. Any ideas what it could be and what I might be able to do to remedy it? Sometimes the odor is more pungent than others. Any idea, greatly appreciated.

Could anyone inform me about a machine that dries fruit at home?
Does it really work well and how much does it cost?
Are there any additional costs? Where would I buy one?

Thanks, guys!

So When installing ceramic tile, (ours is going to be porceline) is it best to put the heating system ounderneath? Do you really need it. I keep telling my parents to put it and they aren't sure we really need it. I told them how my friend had it in her sunroom and they ended up pulling it all out a few years after to re-do it with the heating system underneath. What do you guys think? Also who would be installing it? Do you get an electrition or does the ceramic floor installer do it? Thanks!

Is 90 degrees too much? Or would it be ok as long as it's in a case and is protected.

I live in a two story house with a basement. I have a laundry shoot on the second floor which travels downward into my basement where my washer and dryer are. After filling it full of cloths, I've discover its clogging up somewhere between the basement and 2nd floor. I've tried several homemade devices to try to unlodge my cloths, but they seem to be really stuck. Anyone have any suggestions.
